fucking wow
We believe voice is the most natural way to interact with intelligence, so we created Dessa, the most authentic full-duplex speech model ever built. Talking with it feels like talking with a person
full of emotion, nuance, pauses, and a natural cadence. block.xyz/dessa

i got only 2 places
taking on 2 freelance clients for ai agent work i'm founding engineer at a YC P26 startup right now, i build and evaluate coding agents all day. shipped agent systems, mcp servers, rag pipelines, the usual suspects if you need an agent that works in production, my dms are open

pour info, sachez qu’àprĂšs le choc des gilets jaunes en 2018 , quelques petits malins issus de services de renseignement se sont associĂ©s avec quelques tĂȘtes de la Deftech notamment des anciens de Palantir pour fonder des startups afin concevoir la matrice de sĂ©curitĂ© de demain en fusionnant 3 briques tech majeures: la VSA (surveillance algorithmique), le scraping automatisĂ© des rĂ©seaux sociaux pour la dĂ©tection de signaux et la consolidation de bases de donnĂ©es biomĂ©triques et judiciaires sachez ausis qu’ils sont en train d'inonder le marchĂ© europĂ©en avec ces solutions clĂ©s en main parce qu'ils ont fait un calcul d'une luciditĂ© glaciale qui est que la crise sociale est structurelle, la prĂ©caritĂ© s'installe et les problĂšmes de fin du mois vont inĂ©vitablement s'amplifier quand le coĂ»t de la vie explose, la contestation devient la norme et face Ă  cette Ă©quation, les gouvernements europĂ©ens n'ont plus d'autre levier que le maintien de l'ordre algorithmique ces boĂźtes ont donc modĂ©lisĂ© le ressentiment populaire comme un marchĂ© d'avenir hyper-croissant et ces vĂ©tĂ©rans de la surveillance de masse sont dĂ©sormais en train d’inonder les ministĂšres rĂ©galiens europĂ©ens derniĂšre chose pour dire que l'anticipation de ces boĂźtes ne s'est pas arrĂȘtĂ©e Ă  la courbe de l'inflation, cnest un sujet dont j’ai dĂ©jĂ  parlĂ© ici mais ils ont compris un second paramĂštre crucial qui est la psychologie des nouvelles gĂ©nĂ©rations de manifestants bcp sont complĂštement aliĂ©nĂ©s par la quĂȘte de validation sociale et la culture de l'image sur les rĂ©seaux et cette gĂ©nĂ©ration commet l'erreur fatale de documenter et poster elle-mĂȘme ses propres exactions et c’est prĂ©cisĂ©ment lĂ  que l'interconnexion des briques technologiques prend tout son sens d’ailleurs, suite a un prĂ©cĂ©dent post sur un sujet Ă©quivalent, on m’a posĂ© la question des personnes cagoulĂ©s donc je vais y rĂ©pondre de maniĂšre gĂ©nĂ©rale ici POUR INFO POUR TOUT LE MONDE ĂȘtre cagoulĂ© et anonyme au milieu de la rue sur l'instant et publier la vidĂ©o de son exploit sur son propre compte Snap ou TikTok quelques minutes plus tard, souvent sous le mĂȘme angle et toujours cagoulĂ©, c’est ĂȘtre mort dans le film mdr dites vous simplement qu’en croisant automatiquement l'horodatage des publications, la gĂ©olocalisation des mĂ©tadonnĂ©es, les angles de vue des camĂ©ras de VSA de la voie publique et le flux des rĂ©seaux sociaux, la matrice n'a mĂȘme plus besoin de voir un visage puisque elle va remonter la traçabilitĂ© numĂ©rique de chaque personne et derniĂšre chose
.c’est vraiment du trĂšs TRÈS lourd
đŸ‡«đŸ‡· FLASH - La France a commencĂ© Ă  expĂ©rimenter des logiciels d’INTELLIGENCE ARTIFICIELLE destinĂ©s Ă  ANTICIPER les Ă©meutes. Ces outils de "police prĂ©dictive" analysent notamment les rĂ©seaux sociaux, les images de vidĂ©osurveillance et les donnĂ©es judiciaires pour tenter de prĂ©venir les troubles Ă  l’ordre public.

avec l’IA obtenir une rĂ©ponse Ă  une question est devenue une simple commoditĂ© accessible au premier venu je pense que la vraie asymĂ©trie rĂ©side dĂ©sormais dans la qualitĂ© du questionnement car les LLMs exĂ©cutent la logique et brassent de la donnĂ©e mais ils ne savent pas vraiment oĂč regarder en ce sens, je dirais que la valeur a complĂštement basculĂ© sur ceux qui savent cadrer un problĂšme, raisonner Ă  partir des premiers principes pour structurer leur pensĂ©e et repĂ©rer les failles du rĂ©el afin de formuler la bonne requĂȘte, ce qui demande donc une clartĂ© d'esprit qu'aucun modĂšle ne pourra jamais simuler sachez que savoir oĂč creuser demande une intuition brute et une comprĂ©hension intime des structures sous jacentes et celui qui sait dĂ©finir le bon problĂšme conserve un levier monstrueux sur tout le monde

ben affleck talking about transformers, vector representations and why generative models regress toward the distribution casually explaining concepts with ease better than half the AI twitter/tiktok slop we have to filter out every day this is my batman
Ben Affleck reveals he writes Python, understands convolutional neural networks, worked extensively with GPUs, and used his celebrity status to get private looks at Google and OpenAI’s video models “I’ve always been kind of into computers since I was young. Then, when film started to move from analog film to digital, I became more interested in that aspect of it. The visual-effects workflow for many years has included machine learning, so I can write pretty shitty Python scripts and stuff like that. “With convolutional neural networks, which were the precursors to what the transformer can do, which is much more computation simultaneously, you would do things like look at what’s called a tensor. That’s the numerical translation of a visual image in numbers, like the batch number, the frame number and the red, green and blue values of each pixel in each frame. It’s just that simple. That numeric is called a tensor. “You’d use a convolutional neural network to identify patterns that reveal what’s called edge detection or feature extraction, which is identifying patterns well enough to know, this is where the window ledge is, so we can more easily take the green-screen image out and replace it with something. “That was familiar to me early on because, prior to Artists Equity, I had a small visual-effects company. I’ve worked with GPUs a lot too. The visual-effects guys said, ‘Hey, you should see. There are a couple: Google and this other company, OpenAI, are doing really interesting stuff with transformers in video.’ “I’ve learned that I can actually just call up and go, ‘Hey, it’s Ben Affleck. Can I come see what you’re doing?’ Sometimes people say yes, to my astonishment.”

when that shit won’t be stealth anymore you guys will understand how game changer it is
curently building at @screenpipe x @42born2code {Soulbook} is gonna be a very successful compagny , or a crazy screenpipe feature😆 @louis030195 My bag is ready i have my laptop and 2 bottles of water just dm me the flight time. see you all in SF🌉 Best sponsor out of the last 3 hackathons tho truly amazing product @screenpipe

People don't understand how insanely high IQ Newton was. This is a man who had no background in math or algebra until he was ~20. In <3 years, Newton got himself to the frontier, then invented calculus, thought of the inverse square law, and the theory of colors & light. He was so intellectually superior he withdrew from the scientific community because he had no peers. Only when Halley was trying to calculate planets' motion by means of an inverse square law, he remembered he knew this old, extremely intelligent professor; he might be able to help him. When the problem was taken to Newton, he said "it's such and such." How do you know, asked Halley. "I proved it a couple of years ago." That's what led to The Principia; it was the exposition of what Newton had uncovered in his younger years and was lying around as a pile of private papers.

I think I'm addicted to building things. Selling them is a completely different story.
