I wrote about the generative video editor I've been working on for the past year, and the progress so far: makeartwithpython.com/blog/a…
for any dummies (like me) attempting to flash an orin nano device to latest jetpack via usb, just boot it into rescue mode. ...and the pins are hidden under the main jetson module
Started work this week on a skateboard that talks trash when you don't land your tricks. Going to try and grab a bunch of data Tuesday, weather permitting.
Wonder what percentage of market price discovery is being done by LLMs at this point and whether their sycophancy might be exploitable

n config options can often be replaced by k options (with k << n) where k just lets the user express what thing they want to optimize for (typically some tradeoff between latency, throughput, and cost).
This is often very hard! But a 10x better user experience.
PSA for anyone trying to run GPT-OSS on vLLM w/ Blackwell / Hopper. Ignore the OpenAI blog post instructions and just read this: github.com/vllm-project/reci…

There are a sophisticated set of enabling technologies, but the feature’s goal was incredibly simple: to capture the vitality of the world around us. The Live Photo patent has a picture of my daughter as a toddler spinning in a dress in front of our house. As with a Live Photo, the more time passes, the more endearing it’s become.
live photos hit this perfect intersection of tech & tenderness. it might be the most quietly brilliant thing apple ever made. it’s a subtle wordless trick that turns stillness into something breathing.
i just stumbled on one & it hit like a gut punch. ridiculous that all photos have a tiny slice of life before the pose, the laugh or blink right before the photo froze… it makes your chest ache hardcore esp for a memory you can never ever have again.

inkwell is a self-funded project.
if you enjoy following it's development & would like to see it become a reality - please consider leaving a tip.
One of the arguments that has been used is that LLMs are “transformative” and thus cannot be considered derivative on their training data. But in the visual domain we can very much see that these large models are in fact derivative from what they were trained on.
