Interesting, what about the old proof that neural networks can't model arbitrary length sine waves?

That proof only applies to fixed architecture feed forward multilayer perceptrons with no recurrence, iirc. Transformers are not that.

So who's their target customer? Are we talking about Amazon/Temu scale here?

They have some real money printers that most probably haven't heard of. IBM Maximo for example dominates some industries the way SAP and Salesforce does.

No, but with wind it's possible. Either vertical windmills or sails with modern signal processing.

Honestly DJI and Boeing should get into this business. A boat's sail basically a plane's wing, aerodynamically speaking. They share a lot of similarities with endurance gliders.


Plenty of engineers exist in sailing who know all that and have studied this. Boeing brings nothing new if they get in. Well other than perhaps dollars, but that isn't the problem for the most part.

Smaller boats sure, but ocean going cargo vessels? There are some serious challenges!

Try to approximate the area needed to generate e.g. 50MW propulsion. It would be measured in hectares.


Supposedly the main blocker for launching is because Apple would consider it reputational damage if the AI hallucinates. They have a very conservative approach when it comes to LLMs (on the other hand they are happy to scan all your photos and messages in the guise of child safety and send the data to the government and ChatControl).

Problem is, Siri is already damaging Apple's reputation with how useless it is..


I remember buying the iPhone 4S in 2011, and it being the first iPhone to ship with Siri. It's 2025, and Siri is still fundamentally useless.

Well, it's still powered by the old codebase doing slot-filling named entity/intent detection that will route you to safari the moment it gets stuck ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

no, it's very useful for setting timers and for setting garbled reminders for a soon enough time that I'll remember what I actually meant rather than being confused by whatever it spewed out instead!

Yeah, I guess I've always distinguished "hallucinating" as e.g I asked for a chicken soup recipe and it told me how to make cyanide. Vs some social media person prompt hacking it to say fascism is good, etc. I've seen more of the latter than the former.

They are not evenly distributed though, so the density differences isn't that big for the purposes of regional geolocation.

How does android compatibility look? Can this be compiled to WebAssembly and run in browser?

> Canonical paying Devs and all, it isn't a great way of influencing a community.

That's kind of the point of modern open source organizations. Let corporations fund the projects, and in exchange they get a say in terms of direction, and hopefully everything works out. The bigger issue with Ubuntu is that they lack vision, and when they ram things through, they give up at the slightest hint of opposition (and waste a tremendous amount of resources and time along the way). For example Mir and Unity were perfectly fine technologies but they retired it because they didn't want to see things through. For such a successful company, it's surprising that there technical direction setting is so unserious.

What about magnetic tape?


For long term storage? Sure, everybody does it. In the freezer? Better don't, for the same reason.

There are ways to keep water out of frozen/re-frozen items, of course, but if you mess up you have water everywhere.
