This is awesome. What I want now for a little thing I'm working on is 'speech to text with attribution' in an environment with one or more people, assuming no crosstalk I want speech->text and identify the speaker with some kind of internal identification. No prep data at all. 'i heard a person say 'hello there' i haven't heard them before this session, that's person a. 'oh i just heard a new person say 'hello to you', that's person b.

I might use this when i make massive `kubectl get -o json` calls to store the output so i can noodle with some jq i'm using to filter it. Right now it looks like OUTPUT=$(kubectl... -o json); echo $OUTPUT | jq '.blahblahblah' .. this seems like it might be more useful and if i'm working so long my ttl expires it will refetch say every 2m.. if i'm reading this properly.

iOS/macos and linux both support capabilities, now the depth of those capabilities in all cases might lack depth but people are moving in this way.

Let's take filesystem access on linux for example. You can run as a user without permission, or you can configure something like apparmor/SELinux to stop the program if it attempts do do something not on the list, or you can use containerization to build a limited world for the program to see...

But isn't this all a bit adhoc? The fundamental presumption is of unrestricted capability and then the OS provides options for restriction.

Perhaps I've misunderstood it but I think capabilities are inside out from all of that: You need to walk, so here are some legs. You need to swim so here are some fins. As-is it's more like: you can't go over there so here's an ankle monitor.


As does Windows, that doesn't mean they are actually used as they should.

Open sourcing doesn't mean much when it requires many millions to run one of these 'full fat' models at any kind of real speed. Sure I can run a severly quantized model on my macbook but the performance is abysmal and the success rates go way down.

You think the SEC is doing anything at all under this administration? If the SEC went after an AI company they risk crashing the market at this point. To big to fail is a state we once again find ourselves in.

that's all docker has been doing for years.

i see they started letting the github engineers ship code again after that shitshow last month.

I saw a demo retinal dispaly at the university of washington in the late 90s.

At the HITlab?

I interviewed Dan Bricklin in '88 or '89 (for a magazine). Trippy dude. Lots of ideas.

Bricklin stated the optic nerve is exposed brain. So that when a laser projects an imagine directly on to the retina, it's like programming the brain.

Nope.

I decided right then and there I never needed a laser pointing at my eye ball.


Yeah at the hitlab. I had some friends working on a few things during school there (their school, i was in art school).

I heard tell of a guy with massive cornea damage in one eye, some low-level university employee (facilities or something). They invited him to try it out, could see the image clear as day.

Lots of cool stuff being worked on at the HITlab those days. Seemed to kinda peter out.. or at least get less press.. in the years since.


played with one of these 'retinal displays' back in the late 90s at the university of washington. Pretty crazy stuff, apparently some guy with massive cornea damage was able to see the retinal projection clearly. At the time it was just monochrome and fairly low resolution (by todays standards) but very exciting.

I've seen something like it once, but it was really just the FBI coming in a seizing a rack.
