Interesting, I just took an OBB train today from Zurich to Amsterdam, which passes through a lot of Germany.

Creation is done by humans who have been trained on the data of their life experiences. Nothing new is being created, just changing forms.

A scientist has to extract the "Creation" from an abstract dimension using the tools of "human knowledge". The creativity is often selecting the best set of tools or recombining tools to access the platonic space. For instance a "telescope" is not a new creation, it is recombination of something which already existed: lenses.

How can we truly create something ? Everything is built upon something.

You could argue that even "numbers" are a creation, but are they ? Aren't they just a tool to access an abstract concept of counting ? ... Symbols.. abstractions.

Another angle to look at it, even in dreams do we really create something new ? or we dream about "things" (i.e. data) we have ingested in our waking life. Someone could argue that dream truly create something as the exact set of events never happened anywhere in the real world... but we all know that dreams are derived.. derived from brain chemistry, experiences and so on. We may not have the reduction of how each and every thing works.

Just like energy is conserved, IMO everything we call as "created" is just a changed form of "something". I fully believe LLMs (and humans) both can create tools to change the forms. Nothing new is being "created", just convenient tools which abstract upon some nature of reality.

well it attempts to explain how individual cells can combine to create complex creatures (like a lizard) AND how the creature can have features like healing, regeneration, etc.

> goes to show just how intrinsically intelligent the Gemini family of models have gotten, even on Flash (Gemini 3.1 Pro was unable to do this)

3.1 Pro couldn't do it.. but why ??

YouTube PM if you are seeing, this is your "AI project".

Instead of just filtering user asked questions. We could probably just use an LLM to find interesting sections in video which has answer to a particular question.

Thanks for making this..I was trying to accurately find timestamps in a video from a transcript sometime back, was not aware that this is called "phoneme alignment" and whisperx already solves this !

completely anecdotal, but I think the same can be said for human therapists.

I am surprised to see this on HN front page, there is no new information here, just an ad.

> The quality of the talks was high

Maybe I was in the wrong rooms, but the quality of the talks were really low.. Most of them were advertising one kind of service or another.

(not an expert in stream processing).. from the docs here https://sql-flow.com/docs/introduction/basics#output-sink it seems like this works on "batches" of data, how is this different from batch processing ? Where is the "stream" here ?

Genuinely curious, how to actually implement detection systems for a large scale global infra which that works with < 1 minute SLO ? Given cost is no constraint.

uv has been my sole reason to come back to Python for coding. It was just too time consuming to setup a working dev environment with Python locally.

Apparently, this guy tried to apply to BigTech to get a job but was rejected.

> "I was looking for a job during working on this and absolutely got some disappointing rejections, and one was because of my lack of skillset on things like this in a big tech company's interview. I literally failed the technical screening. Oh well."

I mean... I don't have words...how f*cked up is the interview process ??

Total bio newb here, Can anyone suggest an easy to digest book on biology ? I am always overwhelmed by the nomenclature while trying to get into biology, and to me it always feels like a field with a lot of rote memorisation (for lack of a better term) for a newbie.

Thinking in terms of abstractions, are there some books which stay on a relatively high level of abstraction ? Or is biology a field where you absolutely need to know the specifics of every particular thing in order to understand something ?
