@blelbach How does this match up to what Mojo is doing and what are the pros/cons you see with Zig vs Mojo?

@geerlingguy @elonmusk @nikitabier All X media should have an identity solution to verify real user voice / podcast / video content, and distinguish when it is AI generated.

@JFPuget I have a similar experience. Short term sessions I might be quicker 50% of the time now with latest models.

Long sessions the model output is now always quicker than me. It helps to ground my thinking and decompress my designs/architecture to implementation.

@brian_armstrong @Crypto_Nuclear_ Multiple wallet support needs to be added to base mode. Can’t use it without that.

@thsottiaux Still waiting for the Mactintosh/Xerox Parc/Windows moment. It’s clear we’re on the path, but unclear if we’ve hit it yet. And will we know when we hit it, or only 10 years in retrospect?

Who are the standout human computer interaction designers pioneering this wave?

@4rcherhume Did the grid drop yet?

@rohan10 @WisprFlow Would be great to just have it natively support additional mouse button inputs

[Alex Mann @amann11]

@WisprFlow I want to be able to hotkey a mouse button, like middle mouse down, to start dictation. Can we get native support for something like this?

[Alex Mann @amann11]

@rohan10 @WisprFlow I really didn’t want to have another keymap layer in the middle. I have Logitech options, but mapping something like middle button to keyboard shortcut doesn’t work.

@wcools @linear when can we have a feature like this?

[Alex Mann @amann11]

@4rcherhume Interested. Want to give it a try for potential semiconductor tool.

@kepano @obsdmd @meetgranola but as a plugin

🤯🤯🤯I'm shocked by the results from OpenAI's o1 model on THIS YEAR's Korean SAT exam. It got only *ONE* question wrong, placing it within the Top 4% of students. This exam was crafted by professors who were locked up in a hotel for a month, making it an unseen test set for all

[Alex Mann @amann11]

@lemire Now what would be the equivalent savings in HW/chip design if more designs/infra/tooling was open source?

[Alex Mann @amann11]

@MajmudarAdam The power + value of open source silicon with open EDA feels like Linux in the 90s

@PatrickMoorhead @nvidia @Arm @intel @Qualcomm @AMD What role does @Modular play here @clattner_llvm?

@CoinbaseCloud @eigencloud What is the best resource to understand EigenLayer and the value it is creating for crypto ecosystem?

This white-noise sounding signal with a flat spectrum is the pseudo-random bit sequence used to pre-train the adaptive equalizer that cleans up the mushy analog signal into clean bits.
It's basically a linear classifier trained with least square, a direct descendent of Bernie Widrow's Adaline (competitor of the Perceptron).
