Do we still need the papers though?

It feels like this proposal maintain the paper as the central artefact, but maybe the paper should be the side/byproduct. In many computer science fields it is clear that reproducible code should come first for example.

Would this exploit be encouraged because agents are in a sandbox with only access to package managers?

He works at Pollen, so that was the inspiration for it pre-product.
Do you think a similar model architecture could include some sort of memory, so a follow-up prompt of "Go back to the water foutain" would somehow work?

A in-model memory approach is probably still deep research but maybe a Rag-like pipeline could work in some instances

Would it? Feels a bit like when you use Facebook and handover all your data.
Works very well

That is what charity shops do in the UK. You don't make money as your stuff are donation, but the charity does when then resell. Works surprisingly well.

Re:Short machine-learning workshop for CTOs on Monday March 01, 2021 @10:40AM (#26303778)
I have been trained in machine learning and started to notice a few early stage CTOs asking for advice on how to best start a ML project.

It seems many are tasked to implement an AI/ML roadmap for their start-up. But getting into ML make them experience a bit of an imposter syndrome, with all the jargon and technical sounding experts out-there.

They are all very capable individuals and I feel that this barrier to entry is unjustified with all the tools and models readily available. So, with some friends, we are trialing a 1.5h workshop to cover a few basics and demystify what ML is and what it can do. See https://lu.ma/06ec3e24

We designed this workshop to be as impactful as possible. If you are experienced software engineer getting into ML, consider joining us.

If initial feedback is good, we are thinking of working toward a 6-week "ML cohort-based masterclass" to help CTOs define a 6-18 month ML roadmap. This would include 1-on-1 sessions with a ML experts and access to curated exercises to do with the cohort.

The article is mostly about influence and the importance to surround yourself with people you want to learn from.

When you start rebeling, it might be a signal that it is time to find a new environment to strive in.

Re:Ask HN: What makes a good educational robot? on Wednesday February 22, 2017 @08:12PM (#13710805)
I have used this one: https://www.poppy-project.org/en/robots/poppy-ergo-jr but not with kids around.

It is nice for makers as you get to build it and can modify its shape. It is a basic arm but with 6 motors you get more cool movement out of it. And it is controlled via a RPI and is all open source which I like.

But for kids I don't know if the age target is suitable, the project targets education https://www.poppy-project.org/en/education/ with visual programming and activities but I never tried..

Ask HN: What makes a good educational robot?

What criteria makes a good educational robot? - Wheels vs arms vs legs - Visual vs text based programming - Gamified vs serious - At home vs at schoolI am interested in practical experiences and feeling you had using them/watching kids use them.
