They did. Check out the Phi models (e.g., https://huggingface.co/microsoft/phi-4 ).

Try option-click on the green icon in the app window. It’s well hidden and unintuitive, but I think it does what you want.

For a long time, AI was a bad word that stood for unfulfilled promise. See AI Winter. Hence, researchers strictly avoided the term while still working on learning algorithms, the s…

There’s a bit of a grey area, for example speech recognition. Would you classify that as analytic or generative? Whisper and speech LLMs work pretty well, but can completely make u…

Thanks for sharing, this is a great improvement (also and especially for human use! Renders much better on mobile phones compared to Confluence).

Yeah, there have been several papers with attacks on Whisper: - Inject adversarial noise to make it transcribe what you want ( https://arxiv.org/abs/2210.17316 ) - Stop it from tra…

Indeed. And the one in Admont, Austria: https://stiftadmont.at/en/about-the-abbey-library/

HF is notorious for making it difficult to work offline (or at least not waste time trying to connect when everything needed is offline) and is constantly changing how it is being …

You can use devcontainers (in VSCode or separate), like this: https://github.com/entn-at/claude-rust-devcontainer/ This will limit the agent in what it can do in the system and wha…

> But I don't see a scenario where pytorch needs network access. Training models across multiple compute nodes? That’s a big one.

Not if one is running it in a non-privileged vm/container with restricted network access. But everything is YOLO these days.

Why generative? Or has it been decided that only generative models are “AI”?

It highly depends on the sort of data you’re processing (phone calls, podcasts, meetings of more people recorded using single channel?). For NVIDIA/NeMo, check out their softformer…

Well, but their customers are those that buy Apple hardware.

Look into RWKV.

It’s a distinction that IMHO likely doesn’t make much difference, at least for the mostly automated/non-interactive coding agent use case. What matters more is how well the post-tr…

There are still opportunities, but they aren’t paid nearly as well as less researchy positions in industry. US post-doc salaries at state universities aren’t that high.

You mean Moshi ( https://github.com/kyutai-labs/moshi )? Since Personaplex is just a finetuned Moshi model.

…who lives in Oregon, in the US.

This is about speech to text, not speech recognition.

You still need a tax accountant in France to register the FTE and file paperwork with the tax office and social insurance.

The bank issues/refusals may have something to do with FATCA. If you have anything to do with the US in terms of taxes, many EU banks don’t want you as their customer. If it’s a su…

This is basically a devcontainer, right?
