Cool. I used the Windows snipping tool and just screen-recorded it.

Layout analysis is the key. Quite a bit of work has been going on recently in this area. Some papers of relevance: - Xu Zhong, Jianbin Tang, Antonio Jimeno Yepes. "PubLayNet: large…

all is a bit of overreach. GPT-4 can't solve Millenium Prize problems or other open problems in other domains yet.

Synthesis capability: When the system is capable of deriving established knowledge from first principles (similar to theorem proving from axioms) Gap detection: The system is able …

Landed successfully at the Lunar south pole area.

There's no footage from the last one as the lander crash-landed on the surface of the moon. NASA reported locating the Vikram Lander's debris in Dec 2019: https://www.nasa.gov/imag…

That is a nice method to compute determinants of matrices. I wish they taught this method when I was in high school. As John D Cook points out, the fact that the core 2x2 matmul op…

No expertise is needed to say any os/device is likely to suffer an attack/exploit. Anyone who says that for any platformwill be right with a probability of 1.0

This is probably going to be even less successful than the Apple watch in terms of adoption. $3.5k for a personal device -- perhaps it will capture a niche. Genre defining like the…

Actually, Apple should consider making iMessage open source. Given it is such a popular attack vector, it probably benefits the ios ecosystem to take the benefit of open source scr…
