Hey just a heads up the demo on your site is broken (for me). English transcriptions are coming through fine but translations aren't being spoken, despite the output video stuttering for a moment at the time when it should.


We noticed that Swedish isn't currently working properly, but we weren't able to replicate this with any other languages. Please let us know if it's still having issues!


All of my friends who work remote for these companies do like 45min of work per day; this is the answer


The rest of the time they're sitting in camera-on meetings. No, thanks.


slack stores their data on clay tablets so technically 0 :/


I knew it!


is this why all my gsheets scripts started failing out of nowhere today


Remember when OpenAI was focusing on building "open" AI? This is a cool mission statement but it doesn't mean anything right now. Everyone loves a minimalist HTML website and guarantees of safety but who knows what this is actually going to shake down to be.


Isn't Ilya out of OpenAI partly for leaving Open part of OpenAI?


No, lol—Ilya liked ditching the “open” part, he was an early advocate for closed-source. He left OpenAI because he was concerned about safety, felt Sam was moving too fast.


One of the best papers I've read in a long time. This could be huge.


Love seeing the MIR research from CMU recently. Chris Donahue is the man!!


Who could have guessed - attaching springs to your feet makes you run faster. This is the kind of genius scientific insight that's going to ensure the long term survival of the human race.


I mean yeah it's not exactly a novel observation, but there is some subtlety in /how/ you attach springs to your legs which seems to be the primary contribution of the paper. The two naive options - referred to as "in series and in parallel" - don't see the same results as their proposal (which they discuss at some length in the intro). Their proposal is more about making the "springs on your legs" idea as effective as possible by using a hip attachment to adjust the loading/unloading cycle. By loading the spring with your leg while it's in the air you can improve the overall energy throughput of your gait. Other "springs on your feet" concepts (mentioned throughout the comments section) use a loading/unloading cycle that's 180 degrees out of phase with this (leg on the ground is doing the loading).

Snark is kind of the enemy of critical thought


Not only is that not entirely obvious at first glance, it sounds like the kind of paper-thin plot device used in a Loony Tunes cartoon.

That it actually works is moderately surprising.


Would you have guessed that attaching springs to your feet would make you run faster? I certainly would not have guessed that.


Didn't Wile E Coyote try that out?


Yes with mixed results.


I've been using Brave (quite happily) for years, I was inspired by their initial mission. Reading this article, hearing that they're implementing "price-tiered AI" (~original~), is so antithetical to what I once thought they stood for that I'm ready to ditch.

This might sound crazy, but the primary purpose of a browser isn't to improve search results with a custom API (almost none of which compare to vanilla Google), but to actually improve the browsing experience. Haven't tried Arc, but from what I've seen it seems like they're actually focusing on UX, which is the kind of thing I'm looking for in a browser.

Jumping from Chromium to Chromium?


They didn't need to use JWST to find a transcendental Dark Star, they could have just looked at Fillmore West in 1969.
