The most important aspect of a room's acoustic performance are its dimensions. Rectangular rooms have 3 axial modes that dominate. These modes are easily excited and store energy which you perceive as rumbling, booming, droning, etc. A very small input can get a large room going like crazy if it is mechanically coupled to the room in any way. Even decoupled sources (your neighbor's home theater system) can easily excite the axial modes.Any dimension longer than 28' is going to pass the infrasoni

Replacing a human tutor with an AI that will wildly hallucinate is wrong, and will directly contribute to the dumbing down of society that people here often bemoan.This is the equivalent of "parenting" by putting a kid in front of YouTube Kids for half the day

Please don't. Don't deprive children of the interaction with other human beings. 5 year olds don't need tutors. They need play, touch, sense, feel, run, breath, sky, earth.

Most of them don't get access. So let's hook them up to an insane, unproven, unpredictable autocomplete math equation and entrust it to their development as a human being.So gross.

This is an important point, private videos should not be impacted by this as knowing the URL isn't enough to access the video. Unlisted videos are indirect-object reference by design. It's poor security, but the user is expected to understand the tradeoff (if they actually do is questionable).

My takeaway from this was that Claude was being completely useless as a helper Thanks to all the safety safeguards and that nonsense.

7 years ago we started the 'you are not the product' movement for digital information consumption with Kagi Search. Since then the paradigm shifted from search to agents. Good to see the need for 'you are not the product' still holds up, maybe even more so now: an agent is only worth trusting if it works for you and nobody else. The second an advertiser gets between you and the answer, that's gone. So we're staying on the user-funded side of this. Boring, but it's the whole point.

I think this can be very fun, practical amd enjoyable approach for teaching and sharing online techical contents especially presenting to the younger generations, but focusing on the non-AI generated contents.It can be a very good trade-off between the sloppy AI and the boring lectures.I can see myself doing this in the future, but why they need agents for VTubing, is it because of VTubing platform, marketing/promotion or payment?Obligatory VTuber Wikipedia entry [1].[1] VTuber:https://en.wikipe

This is an excellent use of agentic AI, btw. Fire Claude up and say, "Remove LG malware and mcafee from this computer. Make regex changes so it can't be installed again."My current windows 10 install is cleaner than any other windows machine I've ever owned due to using Claude to deep dive and rip stuff out.

This is one of the 'killer apps' of AI.My workplace has a number of multi-hundred page "User Guide" documents that are an absolute chore to read through for anything actually useful to the scenario-of-the-moment because they're so granularly detailed that, even if you find the right section, it might be difficult to relate it to the scenario because there's so much detail that the context gets lost.If we could get them ingested as an LLM context, and then make a customer-accessible interface, i

Thanks for the link, great read. I think I get you here; in the context of a DSL where it's impossible to travel more instructions than X, suddenly you don't have a halting problem anymore as you've artificially limited that language's ability to travel beyond a known/fixed set of states.The second you wield a language which has constructs like Haskell, where in theory you can iterate over an infinite list of items (thinking about it even any language where for i in input_var is possible); the h

Hey buddy, I love this, thank you for sharing. I am of the belief that as the world transitions to Agent-first transactions, we clumbsy carbon life forms will be heavily disadvantaged, therefore, future citizens will be quipped wirh a digital twin/brain, which grows and learns alongside our biological braina, as well as a personalized tutor and life-guide (the digital version of jimmy the cricket).

"That will wildly hallucinate" feels wildly hyperbolic considering how fast models are improving in their abilities, especially with proper safeguards built into the model harness.

I’m curious why it has to be an either or? Spending 30 minutes with a tutor doesn’t deprive children of interaction with humans. If we can support a child’s learning (perhaps even more efficiently) doesn’t it give them more time to do that?

The reality is, most 5 year olds don’t get access to the resources most of us have had while growing up. People are saying, “kids should have human tutors.” Guys, most people in the world don’t have any tutors! What Ello has built and other forms of AI-based tutoring is going to raise the average level of education and literacy in the world. Especially in developing countries. Let individual parents decide what’s best for their kids.

> Why are you asking the token predictor about the tokens it predicted?I am surprised with this response because it implies this is not an extremely valuable technique. I ask LLMs all the time why they did or output something and they will usually provide extremely useful information. They will help me find where in the prompting I had conflicting or underspecified requirements. The more complex the agent scenario, the more valuable the agent becomes in debugging itself.Perhaps in this case the
