Today, labs are filled with expensive machines and you are not able to peek inside.
You need something? Only from a catalog, made in a mystical factory, without you knowing what's inside.
This abstraction speeds up your process (the tool you bought is fully qualified for what you plan to do) but also detaches you from the low level inner workings. Kids are fascinated if you take an everyday object apart with them (but maybe only if it was already broken)
The linked article is a high level announcement that new sensors were installed, but no experiments yet.
I would have loved if they shared some technical details, e. g. which sensors, how does it record, frequency range and sample rate, time synchronization, offline capabilities. Maybe even a photo of the sensor? (I couldn't find any)
I'm surprised there are no security researchers that would pick up on this.
Take the same prompt and all incoming mails and run again through various existing models, even the simpler local ones. He now has a serious cross section of prompt injection ideas. This is a publication I would like to read!
For privacy reasons I understand the corpus might not get published. But for a research collaboration and safeguards (don't send automatic answers from each model you try)... why not?
I guess the decoder is more than the 208 bytes that this page uses..
But maybe you can misuse this and store a session ID / cookie in a favicon (give everyone a unique one) and survive some cookie cleanup and evade privacy restrictions?
Maybe you can still make it that the favicon looks like an image a little to not raise suspicion?
Favicons seem to be cached across private browsing sessions. Oh no
This post spends a lot of attention on how to fasten, glue and adapt a specific existing keyboard and monitor from a 1U rack mounted console. If I would need a similar serial console, it will end up differently - just because my parts are different.
If you were to take 500 computers with older 1080 GPUs, you might have enough compute/ram equivalent to an H200 GPU for training such a model. Maybe take 10000.
But if those machines are spread over 10000 homes, wired with residential internet service, training a large model will not get anywhere.
You go from "data in the same HBM memory chip" at 4.8TB/s or "data in adjacent GPU" with NVlink at 1.2 TB/s down to 25 MBit/s upload speed. Accessing the next piece of data is going to be about a Million times slower.
At the same time you will heat a thousand times more, for a Million times longer.
You can switch a motor without permanent magnets to "idle mode".
I understand in Tesla dual motor configurations, the front motor is without magnets. The excitation field will be turned on when you need extra power, but at crusing speed it does not cause extra "drag".
From one teardown I've seen, they even went so far to use cheaper and less efficient IGBTs for the front drive, and more efficient SiC Mosfets for the rear motor (in the same vehicle!). If you need extra acceleration briefly, lower efficiency can be accepted.
Well.. The automatic part comes from the camera directing the settings mostly.
The lens would be motorized focus/aperture.
For motion picture cinematography, I've seen remote controlled focus anyway. I don't see why you could not have a good motor built I to the lens and remote control it. If the external motor focus is quick and precise enough, then the internal motors should be as well.
Good writeup and solid presentation of wifi timing experiments.
With his typical product-ready development and polished descriptions, I'm glad there are also some unfinished ideas in his drawer. (my imposter syndrome)
I'm already annoyed by the marketing to call it fullspectrum - this seems to promise more than demonstrated. Maybe call it "CMYK printing"? I was hoping to see them printing a photograph (either on a horizontal or on a vertical surface, unlikely to work well on a ball). I was also missing a continuous gradient - so far, only colored patches?
I'm hoping for the next innovation with mixed extrusion to reduce print times. We are lacking an automatic extrusion amount and nozzle size mixing within a "layer". Not just fine layers everywhere with mixed colors on the inside.
Goal: print the infill and inner perimeter from a larger nozzle and thick layer height. Use the fine nozzle and fancy layer-mixing only on the outside where needed. It is not going to be strict layers any more - I understand, this makes it difficult certainly. Then the Prusa printers could shine that exchange fully loaded and pre heated print heads quickly.
Until then, I'll happily wait for 2 days to get a spool of orange filament delivered.. Instead of waiting for a 20hour print job
I'm impressed by the coding skill to achieve a seamless integration and "usability".
But other than a demo "because we can" I'm confused on what this could ever be useful for. AR/VR prototyping? Virtual showroom?
Or maybe for an online presentation? Stream a video of playing Minecraft and get fancy slide transitions?
"let's go to the next slide" and "now we enter dangerous territory".. "over here I can show you how this program looks like in real life"
I would expect that this leads to cases where the game is handed over to a shell company that goes bankrupt. The shell does not have the rights to all parts of the code and can thus release only part of it in a state that is useless. Some parts might have a weird license attached and so on.
Escrow or demonstration upfront will raise the bar before releasing new games in California.
The paper shows a through analysis of write amplification and slowdown/wear with large databases (800GB) on a single machine. Databases are MySQL and postgres.
As already commended, this can lead to an optimized storage table format for greater performance. Nice!
I would expect that a similar analysis can be done for sqlite, maybe with a different dataset, single write thread..
Summary: dry contact with nearly any laboratory glove will lead to sample contamination and over estimation of microplastics.
They found one type of clean room gloves that contaminate less.
Is there any indication on how bad this really is?
This would have been nice if code was included, but I did not see it. It is just the statistics of the specific Kodim dataset, that was once published on a Photodisc.
Use cases for this? Maybe to validate you own statistics computation?
The Kodim dataset is pretty useless nowadays. If you build an algorithm that runs on this dataset (or the Lena image) it will be pretty bad on other images. Think of data dependent things like compression, segmentation, inpainting or such. The specific characteristics of these "small" images are unlike a cellphone Jpeg or DSLR raw.
Once you introduce a HDL and start optimizing, I would expect more than half of the transistors to be redundant. But you would end up with a circuit that you will not understand any more.. But that could give an important lesson in chip design and HDL compilers.
Well... I have a hard time imagining to get location by yelling "where are you? " "by the trees!"
It really sounds immensely useful to know last location (while they were still in range).
Use case: I was out, picking wild lingonberries in the forest with a group of ~10, some kids. At a "secret" location, with everyone wandering off in a direction they see more of them. Shouting did not help much.
Maybe I skipped over it, but the (suspected) narrow band emission of their diodes is something that could be detectable.
Electronic warfare is not about listening, but just seeing the location of the emitter. If you had someone with a different thermal camera/ camera with SWIR, you might see that something is just not right.
It is a clever mechanism to separate a wide range of parts. Like a vi Rating feeder, but without adjusting the device for different object sizes. It is a rotating tube, slightly angled.
How would that help?
Say - you have just one tube to seperate parts. You drop your first box of washers and route them into a sequential storage. They you do the next box with bolts on the same device and drop them into another sequential storage.
They dispensing remainds still manual as mitxela showed.
I don't know any better, but the screw counting mechanism seems awkward. Imagine the set has 10 components..
I'm surprised there is no standard solution to this - like a tape and reel solution? A counting and dispensing gun that works for different sizes? But how much more would anyone pay for M3 bolts on a tape?
Helmke had a tube feeding his dispensers in one of the videos, with bolts lengthwise. That tube idea could be used for a manual dispenser - imagine a drink dispenser, but giving 3 bolts. Maybe easier to store away, but just as awkward to load.
The distinction is rather that the device was made next door, from raw materials, with them possibly watching. Certainly acknowledging the craftsmanship, but still while understanding your tools.
