Also, as someone affected by this, it has been extremely frustrating getting updates via xitter. Do we really have no other options?

Personally, I love abusing commas for comments and shitposting, but they should be avoided in informative resources like books, otherwise, it looks like a word salad. Say your thoughts and ideas with boldness and certainty.

But hey you write better than I did at 18, so I ain't judging. Just trying to provide helpful feedback for you (the op) to improve on.

Obviously this whole setup requires an internet connection, but I'm rarely without one so it works great for me. Anyone else do something similar?

How do you manage/orchestrate this? I'm genuinely curious.

>Can the same be said about DeepSeek or any other open-source model provider performing distillation?

Open source models that distill from SoTA reminds me of the story of Robin Hood -- robbing the rich and giving it to the poor. So to answer your question: yes, but it's better than the alternative where only a select few companies have SoTA models.

As far as im aware, 3d stacking chips requires the inside to be cooled as well (not just the outside). I don't think they've solved this yet.

I know a RTSC is the holy grail, but it really feels like AI is in the same stage computers were in the 80s. I used to be extremely bearish and think AI was useless, but I've taken a total 180 the last 6 months. If these things get better (they will), nobody's job will be safe.

What happens when more and more people can't afford housing, kids, food, health insurance, etc.? Nothing more dangerous than a man who has no reason to live...

I don't advocate for violence, but I do foresee more headlines like this as things get worse.

- The more filters I added the worse it got. A simple EMA with smoothing gave the best results. Although, your pipeline looks way better than what I came up with!

- I ended up using the Teensy 4.0 which let me do real time FFT and post processing in less than 10ms (I want to say it was ~1ms but I can't recall; it's been a while). If anyone goes down this path I'd heavily recommend checking out the teensy. It removes the need for a raspi or computer. Plus, Paul is an absolute genius and his work is beyond amazing [1].

- I started out with non-addressable LEDs also. I attempted to switch to WS2812's as well, but couldn't find a decent algorithm to make it look good. Yours came out really well! Kudos.

- Putting the leds inside of an LED strip diffuser channel made the biggest difference. I spent so long trying to smooth it out getting it to look good when a simple diffuser was all I needed (I love the paper diffuser you made).

RE: What's Still Missing: I came to a similar conclusion as well. Manually programmed animation sequences are unparalleled. I worked as a stagehand in college and saw what went into their shows. It was insane. I think the only way to have that same WOW factor is via pre-processing. I worked on this before AI was feasible, but if I were to take another stab at it I would attempt to do it with something like TinyML. I don't think real time is possible with this approach. Although, maybe you could buffer the audio with a slight delay? I know what I'll be doing this weekend... lol.

Again, great work. To those who also go down this rabbit hole: good luck.

What is the maximum resolution you support for PDFs? The max gemini will do is 3072x3072. We have plans that are 10x that size.

How far away are we from an offline model based ad blocker? Imagine a model trained to detect if a response contains ads or not and blocked it on the fly. Im not sure how else you could block ads embedded into responses.
