"Neural codes of space" (https://t.co/dtWS8g35rq), very nice talk. If there is one thing that we know is that Kant was indeed right on many accounts for more than 240 years now.

I'm glad that we have great autonomous vehicles workshops in many conferences inviting folks from industry so that we provide the rare opportunity to share about everything they are not deploying today in their cars 😅

why pay $20/month for Claude if you can run gigaslop_27b_q8 on a $20k GPU rig in your living room

The topic is “normal coordinates”: a shape representation little-used outside of mathematics—but which turns out to have nice applications in geometry processing & learning.

One of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen: a standing ovation for the full Daraxonrasib results

I feel inspired and energised, to put it mildly — we have a targeted therapy for pancreatic cancer now, and nothing is undruggable anymore

I knew someone would say that the Pope forgot to cite their paper 😅

I think we can call this the endless polite policy deadlock.

Self-driving cars are fun because you never see competing SaaS products having a literal standoff in the street

Oxford, the longest running continuous weather station in UK history, with temperature observations stretching back to 1815, has preliminarily broken its maximum temperature record for May yesterday by OVER 3ºC with a temperature of 33.7ºC. Unprecedented in its 211-year history.

The beauty of vehicle trajectories (using data from @NVIDIAAI Physical AI AV Dataset).

This journal is beautiful.

I don't know what Google's safety team is doing but all I know is that they are making products unusable. cc @FlowbyGoogle

[LLoki @LLoki88]

@FlowbyGoogle this basically sums up my experience with Flow / Omni. And to make it better I've effectively had my token levels cut in half

The problem is that academia will spend the next year deciding who will be the first author of the paper and the model architecture, instead of just collecting the data.

[Siqiao Huang @KnightNemo_]

It’s hard to see something that can have reasonable behaviors with so few parameters(<1B); and so much data scaling potential (1k hours of high quality mocap-retargeted data already gives a ton of capabilities). I really hope this time we can start with an open-source rat race towards humanoid foundation models, instead of letting companies develop everything internally. If history has told us anything, on early stages of a research field, open-source and joint forces are fundamental forces that makes it thrive.

In other words, “humanoid foundation models need foundational human efforts”. 3/3

[Christian S. Perone @tarantulae]

I knew this was coming, the moment Gemini started to take a bit of the market share, there wouldn't be any other option other than curbing the compute to scale. This will backfire in their share for sure.

[Timothy Gowers @wtgowers @wtgowers]

AI has now solved a major open problem -- one of the best known Erdos problems called the unit distance problem, one of Erdos's favourite questions and one that many mathematicians had tried.

All Omni Flash prompts I tried with very naive prompts. Systems are becoming unusable these days due to the amount of stacked non-sense guardrails.

To MRL or not to MRL: Text Embeddings are Robust to Truncation Without Matryoshka Embeddings, Except In Heavy Truncation Scenarios

@sobamchan et al. show that random truncation of text embeddings is competitive with MRL.
