The alignment between source and target is automatically inferred, basically by searching when the uncertainty over a given output word reduces the most once enough input words are seen. This is then lifted to the audio domain. In theory the same trick should work even with longer grammatical inversions between languages, although this will lead to larger delays. To be tested!
Adding more languages is definitely planned! This was Tom (the first author) master’s internship project with Kyutai, and it was easier to prototype the idea with a single pair. Also he will be presenting this work at ICML in two weeks if anyone is around and wants to learn more.
Dr. Jean Remi King is leading the research effort at Meta AI Research for computational neuroscience, including this work. You should check out his website to learn more : https://kingjr.github.io/
Amazing scientist, previously at ENS Cognitive studies department in Paris.
Precooling is only viable if homes are really insulated and / or all the electricity comes from renewable as otherwise it will increase the overall energy used (as precooling is less efficient), which will increase CO2 emissions. In think the population also needs to “meet in the middle”, for instance by increasing the temperature of the AC by one degree in summer. This could get automated to offer a best effort service.

Philip Morris crowed about its high rating on their website saying, “Altria [Philip Morris parent company] is proud of its internal and external efforts to promote LGBTQ equality. In 2020 Altria signed on to America Competes, a pledge to oppose discrimination and to support comprehensive nondiscrimination laws that protect all Americans, including LGBTQ people, and supported the passage of the Virginia Values Act, the first comprehensive LGBTQ anti-discrimination legislation to pass in the south.”

The part on LGBTQ+ is in bold in the article. Clearly it is more oriented at fighting civil rights than the global warming.
Made it to level 7! Same technique worked for three levels in a row just before that. Quite fun, I can imagine how in future video games we will try to convince the final boss to just let us get the treasure without fighting.
The technique developed seems to work for a larger number of qbits (49). With the current systems, increasing the number of qbits does not lead to an increase in computational performance as the extra qbits introduce more noise than can be compensated by error correction codes.
Here, the authors show a small but significant improvement by increasing the number of qbits thanks to their improved ECC.
I spent a long time getting charged for buckets on an account I had lost all access. It was years ago and I had let it keep on for too long, big mistake.
First priority is getting your data out to a safe storage. Then delete as much as you can while you have your access.
I eventually did a charge back to make the charges stop. I had started the account while in the US but had definitely left 6 years ago, and really wanted to close my account there. You cannot close an account with a recurring charge in the US. Funny country, as a French it felt terrifying like being trapped in some weird American administrative maze where I would get billed 1 dollar per month until my death (plus bank fees).
Open AI is logging everything for future training. I don’t think Open AI employees actively look at the logged data, but they likely have people rate the exchanges or suggest replies, so that could be a source of leaks. Besides in 6 months / 1 year, when an updated version is released, Chat GPT might very well spit out some private info information.
