Bytes Are All You Need: Transformers Operating Directly On File Bytes – Apple Machine Learning Research
our model requires absolutely no modality-specific processing at inference time, and uses an order of magnitude fewer parameters at equivalent accuracy on ImageNet. We demonstrate that the same ByteFormer architecture can perform audio classification without modifications or modality-specific preprocessing Source: Bytes Are All You Need: Transformers Operating Directly On File Bytes – Apple Machine Learning […]

Bringing developer choice to Copilot with Anthropic’s Claude 3.5 Sonnet, Google’s Gemini 1.5 Pro, and OpenAI’s o1-preview
It’s increasingly clear that any strategy that ties you to models from exclusively one provider is short-sighted. The best available model for a task can change every few months, and for something like AI code assistance model quality matters a lot. Getting stuck with a model that’s no longer best in class could be a […]
Carpentopod: A walking table project
some software for fun to generate various optimized walking mechanisms. And when I also picked up some electronics and wood working skills in more recent years, I was able to turn one of these mechanisms into an actual wireless walking wooden coffee table: the Carpentopod.

Brain waste-clearance system shown in people for first time | National Institutes of Health (NIH)
Though less well-known than the body’s blood vessels, the lymphatic system is also vital to health. The network of lymphatic vessels threaded throughout the body removes dead cells and other waste from the bloodstream. It also helps transport the immune cells that fight infections. It was once thought that the lymphatic system didn’t reach into […]

How I Am Maintaining Multiple Emails For Git On A Same Machine – blag
direnv is one nifty tool which lets you have different environment variables based on directories/path. The best part is, as soon as you enter into a directory, direnv does it’s magic, so you don’t have to remember that you have to run direnv Source: How I Am Maintaining Multiple Emails For Git On A Same […]
Brain dump on the diversity of AI risk | Jascha’s blog
My top fears include targeted manipulation of humans, autonomous weapons, massive job loss, AI-enabled surveillance and subjugation, widespread failure of societal mechanisms, extreme concentration of power, and loss of human control. Source: Brain dump on the diversity of AI risk | Jascha’s blog
Mental health in software engineering | Hacker News
In almost 30 years of software engineering, I came to the conclusion years ago that most deadlines were entirely arbitrary. The business isn’t going to fail if you slip a week, or frequently even six months and if it does its probably not the fault of engineering unless its so dysfunctional as to repeatably blow […]
