Introducing: Tailscale Personal Plus. Networking with more friends and family — up to six users, 100 devices, just $5/month.
v0.9.0 🚀 marimo is a reinvention of the Python notebook — stored as Python, executable as scripts, deployable as apps. Our latest release brings notebooks further into the future: create chat interfaces, cache computations across notebook runs, and generate code with AI.

This is the proudest release of my career :) At @LiquidAI_, we're launching three LLMs (1B, 3B, 40B MoE) with SOTA performance, based on a custom architecture. Minimal memory footprint & efficient inference bring long context tasks to edge devices for the first time!
The Stepping-Feet Illusion features two rectangles apparently moving like a pair of stepping feet, but they're actually moving at the same constant speed. The illusion is broken when the striped texture is removed.

I saw an earlier version of this a month ago, and it was one of those step-function moments when AI is doing so much that you can't quite believe it.

AI is incredible at writing code. But that's not enough to create software. You need to set up a dev environment, install packages, configure DB, and, if lucky, deploy. It's time to automate all this. Announcing Replit Agent in early access—available today for subscribers:

This is the coolest "application" of LLMs I have seen in a while: instead of using an LLM to solve a problem set, flip the table and ask the student to TEACH the LLM how to solve the problem set. Really lovely. Thx to Jordan Hoffmann for sharing this :-). youtube.com/watch?v=om7VpI…
Google presents Diffusion Models Are Real-Time Game Engines discuss: huggingface.co/papers/2408.14… We present GameNGen, the first game engine powered entirely by a neural model that enables real-time interaction with a complex environment over long trajectories at high quality.…
Intel HW is too complex to be absolutely secure! After years of research we finally extracted Intel SGX Fuse Key0, AKA Root Provisioning Key. Together with FK1 or Root Sealing Key (also compromised), it represents Root of Trust for SGX. Here's the key from a genuine Intel CPU😀
Signed distance functions (SDFs) are fundamental tools in graphics, vision, and physics simulation. But how do you get a high-quality SDF from messy, real-world input? At #SIGGRAPH2024, we introduced a simple method for turning "broken" geometry into a well-behaved SDF. <🧵>
I just launched whisperfile which is the easiest way to turn audio into text. You download one file that embeds OpenAI's Whisper model and runs 100% locally. It'll even translate non-English into English while it's transcribing. huggingface.co/Mozilla/whispe…
