I'm skeptical that Miso Robotics can actually deliver a useful product that outperforms or matches human labor at the same price point. They don't show clear videos of what exactly the robot is capable of, and keep buying Instagram ads to invest in their company.

> The #1 problem with PyTorch is that it’s great if you want to use one videocard for training

Incorrect information so confidently stated here. Tons of research papers that use more than one GPU for training, not sure what you're referring to? Standard DDP works fine, for starters.

It'd be great if you could add benchmark numbers for this comparing CPU/GPU on inference / sec and inference / watt.

Beyond Meat is not meat though. It's not even close in taste.

Is the demo down for anyone else? It's stuck loading. Chrome on MacOS

Geekbench scores came out, The Epyc 7443p scored 27461, M1 Ultra scored 24055 on multi-core. Geekbench uses ARM-native for Mac M1 iirc.

My workstation build with Epyc is ~$5,000 and has more cores (24 core), more memory (256 GB), faster GPU (3090), a 2TB pcie 4 SSD and I suspect will perform better on standard benchmarks. Definitely not as compact as the Studio though but lot more extendable.

Apple isn't an OEM? They don't sell products that are marketed by another company.

Neural Engine cores are not accessible for third party developers, so it'll be severely constrained for practical purposes. Currently the M1 Max is no match for even last generation mid-tier Nvidia GPU.

Note that the title is fairly misleading, students don't actually do real practical labs. A random example: https://fab.cba.mit.edu/classes/S63.21/class_site/pages/micr.... Probably because this class was being held during COVID times.

There's no hands on biology work. Homework consists of:

- Find a research or journal article - Propose a technology - Propose a methodology

etc

The 2019 version looks a little better: http://fab.cba.mit.edu/classes/S66.19/S66.19/

On the positive side, a solution for global warming.

NYTimes stock has gone up 200% over the last 5 years. I think they're doing fine.

This extension has been around for 2 years, and has worked reliably. Just need to update it once in awhile.

> (My take on VR is far more pessimistic. VR just… isn't going to happen, in any "changing the world" form, in our lifetimes. This is a subject for a different blog post, but I think AR and projection will do much more for us, far sooner.)

Can Carmack toss in a free Quest 2? It looks like the last time he tried VR was back in 2015. The state of the art is a lot better now.

Is it difficult to notice that you're in the minority here?

Why not use a RM2 then?

The paper you've linked seems to be written by a crackpot with no training in biology, nor was the paper published in any journal, much less a reputable biology/medical one.

Higher PPD is good, but with the lower FoV it's going to feel like you're looking at your computer screen through binoculars.

The documentation in the screenshot seems pretty meaningless, they're already being described by the function name and parameters.

Are there more examples that we can see?

Hasn't been updated since 2020: https://github.com/d2l-ai/d2l-tvm, may be severely outdated, since deep learning compilers is a rapidly moving field.

> Panasonic's MeganeX, which uses 2560x2560 120Hz micro-OLEDs, is finally being released in the spring for <$1000

The FoV is probably going to be worse than current gen headsets (Index, Quest 1/2, etc).

What do the green dots represent? They only show up for a few seconds.

If anyone else was curious, Sundar Pichai had not worked on Search prior to becoming CEO, it seems:

> Pichai joined Google in 2004,[8] where he led the product management and innovation efforts for a suite of Google's client software products, including Google Chrome and Chrome OS, as well as being largely responsible for Google Drive. In addition, he went on to oversee the development of other applications such as Gmail and Google Maps. In 2010, Pichai also announced the open-sourcing of the new video codec VP8 by Google and introduced the new video format, WebM. The Chromebook was released in 2012. In 2013, Pichai added Android to the list of Google products that he oversaw.

I wonder why they specifically picked 22 years, as opposed to 25 or 20.

It sounds like you're describing the same thing: https://github.com/calderajs/caldera-react

> Think of it as the Node.js analog to Phoenix LiveView — all of the application logic (including rendering) runs on the server, and DOM updates are sent to the client in real-time.

How often are attackers hacking a air-gapped device but have line of sight? It seems fairly implausible.

Lightform's LFX project is really cool. Unfortunate that the company is shutting down.

I might just be not as intelligent as the average TypeScript developer, but I find the complexity with the type system off-putting. There's 5 different ways to type something, and learning a new type language isn't what I wanted when I just needed my JavaScript to be typed.

It's too bad Flow has lost the typed-JS battle, I find the syntax to be a lot easier to use.

As someone who's used the pipe operator in a different language in a professional setting, I can attest that it makes code a lot easier to read and write.
