    It looks like you can use the gemma tokenizer to count tokens up to at least the 1.5 models. The docs claim that there's a local compute_tokens function in google-genai, but it loo…

    It uses the 60ghz radar from https://vayyar.com/ . I'm not sure how or if it works, I haven't tried it myself. They also sell dev kits: https://walabot.com/products/walabot-develop…

    2.4ghz isn't great at detecting small obstacles like wires. There's a smartphone mounted device that can do this with 60ghz: https://walabot.com/

    I'm not sure that the answers that the model provides have anything to do with what it's actually doing. The way they seem to be prompting it also exhibits this issue, where they f…

    Same issue on sway + nvidia, it can be worked around by disabling wayland support for electron apps. Not ideal.
