    Yes this sort of auto-regressive error propagation is a real concern for the same reason it's a real concern with LLMs in general. If you force the output of an LLM to begin with a…

    We originally developed NERDs inside of my last startup for monitoring the progress of solar developments. There are many different multi-modal event feeds that you need to monitor…

    We talk a little bit about this in the paper, but just a bit. And it is an important question. Real entities change! We’re not just trying to create a representation of now, but a …

    Show HN: The Answering Machine – A screenless AI phone for kids with questions

    I built an AI voice agent inside a retro orange rotary phone for my 4-year-old. He picks up the handset, asks a question, and gets a spoken answer. No screen; no app; the phone is …

    This is my roman empire, and I go back and forth on my conclusions at least once a day. On one hand, clarity and structure make a platform that's easy to build and collaborate on. …

    Yep! If you upload the documents requested by the app, we are able to determine that one way or the other. Sometimes that's explicitly in the documents and other times it's based o…

    I think it's unlikely that much of the total capacity registered by Jasmine will be pre-2025 builds. So I think your last line is the most likely outcome. More access to the progra…

    Bees can communicate a kind of "map" to other bees, but they don't have anything like a proper language. I'm not aware of anyone teaching rodents to learn from maps, but I'd bet th…
