This seems very expensive for what a PC can do :(. A PC can be fully customizable with price ranges that are lower than the steam machine. The "hardcore console gamers" live on PS, and Xbox, and for "casual gamers", a Nintendo Switch would provide much better bang for you buck.
The same idea comes up in physics. In quantum physics, the action S appears as the logarithm-like quantity behind the amplitude e^iS/(h^bar).
In statistical mechanics, entropy is the logarithm of the number of possible microstates Omega : S = log(Omega).
Although the concepts come from different parts of physics, they both reflect the same principle: using a log as a way to turn multiplicative relationships into additive ones.
Decoupling between layers will be essential ! You will have high level commands sent from a distant server to a local gateway, middleware running on the gateway, and very low level tasks delivered directly on the roadmap (like stabilizing loops to make sure your robot never falls apart)
What makes an open model worse is ultimately the budget : you have access to worse data, not SOTA models, less GPU compute time, and having a good fine tuning team is extremely expensive.
Linux works because the entry barriers are purely on a software side : a lot of contributers all around the world can outclass any OS by contributing on their scale to Linux. All you need to contribute is a computer, and your brain.
Open models don't have the same community push, they rely on core ressources that not anyone owns. And injecting them in the model costs too much money.
If there are no public breakthroughs in the way we train large open models that makes community led models 10x better, the shift to open models will never happen on a large scale.
We are not yet at misalignment, but this shows the existence of a slope that derivates into misaligned adversarial ai models. Must this be fixed at training time (at which step ?) ? Thinking about this report : https://ai-2027.com/
If models start only being available for a certain class of citizens of x,y,z countries, there will be "smart hackers" selling out their token usage for twice the price or something (a litteral black market for tokens).
QUIC will be more than a replacement for TCP once we will have broken the speed boundary that allows a distant server to control a robot (which requires quick reaction speeds to correct for instability time constants). For now, everyone is forced to embark their decision algorithms on Jetson Nanos to control robots, which makes prices quite high, in a certain future where time frames will be optimized, we can see "Robotic controlling as a service" platforms, that will make the price of robots drop by a significant ammount
Found a guy on instagram who builds a custom stereoscopic camera with 4 identical pi cams spaced evenly (about 1 inch (2.54cm)) away from each other on a line. It creates wigglegrams

They want to launch satellites to space, and channel Sun power back to Earth with millimeter Waves to power isolated platforms (like oil platforms, or islands). So the power chain goes like this : Sun Rays —> Electric Power (solar pannels) —> Electromagnetic Waves (a specific RF circuit and TX Antenna) —> Electric Power again back to earth (TX Antenna)
Straight up Star Wars tech, they have 84 lines of R&D. Got me wondering, is this even physically possible ?
What may be their expected power efficiency ? And is there even an ROI in terms of funding ? Would this have any kind of applications in transmitting power from satellite to satellite (for instance to power data centers?)
Think of anything that empowers people, and that scares them. People are afraid to be replaced by AI, so anything that teaches you a new skill, and particularly skills that work well within AI workflows. I am thinking typically of a tool that would teach you software architecture (and not just coding). Coding will be replaced by AI, but designing and maintaining systems will remain an engineering problem for at least the next 4 years.
Feel like that varies according to your room mates, and social dynamics (if you notably have a dwarf that spawn camps their bedroom, never do house chores etc...
Saw a podcast that talked about the rust compiler, which apparently included machine learning algorithms at some points to determine whether or not you had code that could crash your system
Nuclear energy is really the energy of the future, fission still has bright days ahead of it. the startup market for SMRs is going to boom once the core challenges will have been solved, sure that we will see many ETH founders go into that world
Possible that the videos themselves are from hacked iot devices, or the protocol transfering data going from the camera towards the servers might not be encrypted so someone intercepts their data :(
But wandering why in the world would someone point a camera at families ?
