> When I first learned about this, I thought it was pseudo-science BS. It's crazy what can be done with just sound.

I think we were all thinking that. Acoustic Cavitation has also been proposed as a mechanism for enabling cold fusion. https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.1067589


I’d love to take that bet

That’s the old way of thinking about it. there is a new way.

Ok, fine, but do you have a better way to build a bot following and expose oneself to trending MAGA memes?

“truth” social :)

I love em dashes—they basically indicate a more deliberate pause than a … without the tight vibes of a semicolon.

I wonder how model competence and/or user preference on web development (that leaderboard) carries over to more complex and larger projects, or more generally anything other than web development ?

In addition to whatever they are exposed to as part of pre-training, it'd be interesting to know what kind of coding tasks these models are being RL-trained for? Are things like web development and maybe Python/ML coding overemphasized, or are they also being trained on things like Linux/Windows/embedded development etc in different languages?


Would be great for shiptracks, too— which used to mitigate 1/3 of the warming impact of maritime shipping — until the 2022 clean fuel standards were implemented.

Do you know of any good handwriting eval/benchmark? I haven’t been able to find one.

Everyone learns that the renaissance was sparked by the translation of Ancient Greek works.

But few know that the Renaissance was written in Latin — and has barely been translated. Less than 3% of <1700 books have been translated—and less than 30% have ever been scanned.

I’m working on a project to change that. Research blog at www.SecondRenaissance.ai — we are starting by scanning and translating thousands of books at the Embassy of the Free Mind in Amsterdam, a UNESCO-recognized rare book library.

We want to make ancient texts accessible to people and AI.

Amazing project!

May I ask you, why are you publishing the translations as PDF files, instead of the more accessible ePub format?


Will add, great point.

This ia very cool but should go in a Show HN post as per HN rules. All the best!

Just read the rules again— was something inappropriate? Seemed relevant

I can see you being right, I didn't make the connection with 20th,19th century documents and the comment felt disconnected from the thread. Either way, very cool project, worth a show hn post.

In my field, journals subsist precisely as targets for a PhD. 3 journal publications and you can become a doc.
