Light mode constricts your pupil more, which means less eye strain for the eye when focusing because of the better depth of field. Also, black pixels != no light except in technologies such as oled, but most laptops are backlit lcds.

It's only line-of-sight, but isn't the range 10s-100s of kilometres in open areas? Some repeaters on hills/mountains etc. could connect large areas potentially.

It's trivially jammable, as evidenced by the network not working at popular events such as Defcon with default firmware settings.

Nope. Uses only one frequency that quickly gets crowded and if you are in urban areas you'd be lucky to get more than 200 meters.

It is a toy. A cheap Quangsheng/Baofeng for 20 euros can reach a few kilometers in urban area, use multiple frequencies and go for 100 kilometers easily on LoS. They even reach Australia from Europe when using a wire antenna large enough.

reminds me of this warning from Dante in the YARP documentation: https://www.yarp.it/latest/warning.html.

The title confused me at first as PCBs refer to hydroxylated polychlorinated biphenyls not printed circuit boards.

yeah that checks out, although looks like they do have an example for running models on a raspberry pi pico 2: https://docs.pytorch.org/executorch/main/pico2_tutorial.html. The list of embedded platforms this can run on is probably greater than the list of backends, it just wouldn't have acceleration.

It is fairly well established that neurons in these artificial neural networks are polysemantic and information is represented in directions in the activation embedding space rather than neurons independently representing information (which is why anthropic is doing things like training sparse autoencoders). I haven't read the paper in depth but it seems like it is based on a fundamental misunderstanding about neurons in ANNs vs the brain.

It may be that there are just a few misfirings that dramatically degrade the results. Strokes in the human brain causing a few neurons to die can have outsized affects in the body...

Very cool! I was wondering, is a separate model performing speech recognition for the voice demos such as the game? The FunctionGemma model card only seems to show text input/output.

Yes a separate model is performing ASR in this case. Gemma270m (base, function, and others) are not multimodal out of the box.

That being said if someone in the community wanted to use other encoders like siglip and plug them into Gemma270m to make it multimodal that'd be a great way to have fun over break and build up an AI Eegineer resume :)

There's a hidden equal sign, so if you copy-paste the code you get a different answer than if you just do it in your head.

I wonder if they also want to create more of a market for their products such as the DGX Spark.

that was quite the wild read, haha. Looks like they're going to have further meetings about the ducks but the conclusion of this meeting is that: "There was consensus among the Zoning Board of Appeals that the applicant has demonstrated emotional support ducks are necessary but did not come to a consensus on what would be reasonable regarding the number of ducks, the size and location of the enclosure, and conditions of approval."
