can I ask in what field you work ?

I salut a major company focusing on classical music. That said, how many small startup / scale up will be dead in 1 year because of that ?

This is a very rich platform.

Probably a good candidate to compete with Minecraft (assuming the entire stack can be made easy to access).

Secretly I still dream we are able to build a 2023 version of an ultima online verse.

Does anyone have an actual list of websites that can be consider minimal?

A bit of nitpicking but I would prefer to replace the word 'reasoning capability' with 'sequencing of token construction coherence' as the two things are semantically different and profound in their implication

The self attention of this model needs some tuning :) It reminds me how sometimes I have stream of consciousness while talking, and I have ADHD.

I wish we could start having open source TTS models with similar performance. So far Tortoise TTS is not there yet. Im not sure if Siri neural TTS is offered for 3rd party apps.

I'm not a domain expert in networking. Can someone explain to me the difference between a tunnel and a reverse proxy ?

Also, for local setup, this still require to have a port mapping at router level, I assume?

I feel there is something wrong with this approach but I struggle in putting my finger on it.

Something about using a level of abstraction at the wrong layer of the stack. I would expect GPU rendering to be used way deeper in the stack (OS level).

thebibleofmagic

Back in 1998, when I was a 12y old, I started a website about Magic. I was an italian kid that didn't know any english, with a pentium 2 and a cracked version of front page.

fast forward 3 years from there, I was running the the biggest italian magic community with ~15k concurrent active users daily, with one of the biggest deployed use cased of a asp/access database (because hosts were charing a lot more for php+sql).

Foreigners were running their own subforums on it, with the brazilian and french community being the biggest one.

I did suck at the game, but every time I was attending an event, every single person knew the website and had only nice things to say about it.

It was magical, I didn't know what I was doing, and I didn't realised what I achieve until very very long after. Me wanting to connect with people online on such a niche topic, and having to create a platform for it, started a personal learning chain reaction, that down the line allowed me to enter the tech world with ease.

there are aspect of copyright law, and ownership of that image (this is work done inside google) that a minor, which eventually be an adult have no control. Additionally, minor images can be abused (I'm leaving at it, but you can assume that some AI breakthrough in generative imagines can be abused)

While I'm really impressed by the work in this paper (and codebase) I cannot stress enough that having minor as examples is definitely not a good idea on so many levels!

for record, best electrolysis for hydrogen is a 50% efficiency end-to-end conversion.

I'm not sure the anticorrleation has ever been proved. While it seems logical, the cloudy / stormy weather that sometime we experience in UK is too harsh for wind farms

In UK wind is actually broadcasted to take over. After the new line connecting with Norway (for hydro storage) the majority of investments are going into wind. On Nuclear, I think right now there is 1 big nuclear plan offline for maintenance so there might be some of that too.

In the Mediterranean area, while there is more prevalence of solar, it's not a clear winner either. For instance in Italy there is quite an aggressive law on usage of agricultural space for big solar farms. Solar will win in the decentralized, domestic space, an area that I'm highly interested in. At scale, Wind seems to offer a better ROI, especially on country on the coast line (or other favourable morphological characteristic)

I'm heavily looking to switch to work on the space (from more traditional consumer products), but it's a more full stack space: software is written as a byproduct of the hardware. unfortunately I haven't found any Electrical engineering interesting in doing something in the space. Shameless plug if there is someone out there interested.

Fascinating. thank you for sharing

For the architect / construction engineers out there.

I'm always a bit concerned where I see those wood projects I really wonder about two aspects:

1- thermal conductivity. How well isolated can they be when you have full beams of wood with one side outside and one inside.

2- durability. I really appreciate wood for SOOO many properties, but what is really the realistic durability of woods? from an ecstatic standpoint, from a maintance standpoint (do I need to regularly treat it), and from a functional standpoint (what happen with heavy duty use)?

Would love some inform opinion

Just leaving a comment here, if you are an electrical engineer and you are interested in working on thing like this, I'd love to talk to you.

There was an Italian equivalent version of this. I don't remember the name but it was grey and blue, and it was sold circa early 90s. It had the exact shape and look of this: https://www.etsy.com/listing/694191660/vintage-1992-tiger-2x.... but without the 2xl logo. Loved how Italy was rebranding everything

I had almost worked out myself how it worked by playing those special tape in a normal recorder.

this is technically correct. Yet missing the bigger point of the privacy war between Apple & Meta

Can I ask you how old you were when that happened. I think a lot of that happen organically for everyone, it just happened to you in 2014. I'd guess 25-30y old ?

I'm a complete newbie in the ecommerce space, would anyone be able to explain this as I was a 5 years old ?

If it's a retrofit (ie.: the ev charger/nor the meter have the right technology and setup) EV energy pattern consumption is rather unique, and is very easy to understand consumption through energy disaggregation algorithm.

It's a technology already used at utilities companies to understand for instance if a household has electric or gas hobs.

1) When you say hardware agnostic, is that really true? how standardize is the hardware of EV charging ? Do you require the compatible EV to have a specific protocol implemented or do you have some firmware level integration ?

2) how easy is to scale this business in different geo ? I believe you started in Canada and now present in NORAM, what would it take to get to EMEA?

3) You business model is b2b, but would you be interested in going b2c and leverage a network of EV running your OS ? (independently of who's operating it). For instance with a Cross EV charger subscription

can you tell us more about what you mean by 'self destructing while not being plugged' ?

Hi Stefan, thank you for sharing.

I would love you honest take on ROS as an operative system platform for robot development

Same demographics or same userbase? How many Monthly active users to you have on your platform ?

Yes, we should celebrate, a lot of people chasing FIRE do the mistake to constantly rebase their expectations. This guy didn't.
