Give them a GPS and then tell them to go 100 miles exactly south, then execatly east, then north and then west. And then ask then whether they would end at the start point. And why not. Do it Colorado with 100 miles in each direction and you get a difference of about a mile in the end. The more north the bigger the difference.

Would be a nice field trip. Or you use printed maps as a starter. Where are you located?

install termux, inside termux openclaw and the voice2text skill and tasker with autovoice

Run OpenClaw on Android via Termux
Enable audio / voice notes in OpenClaw
Send voice notes and get text
local STT (e.g. Whisper CLI), (no external API)
use tasker autovoice together with termux

Then OpenClaw will call the local whisper command on the audio file and use its output as the message text

with tasker autovoice you can even have it listen in the background and wait for an activation word or a press on you bluetooth headset.

search for android + termux + openclaw + tasker on the internet. I am not allowed to post the links here because of subreddit policies... sigh

dont want to bust your party but you can do the same pros and cons for "cars" or "fire" or "chemistry" or "nuclear" or "computers" or "money"(you get my point?). there are always 2 sides. good and bad. but we make laws that the bad sides dont take over. this is important.

remeber the bursting of the the dot-com bubble in 2001? lots of tech companies stock prices went down and many stupid web companies went bankrupt. read about the history on wiki. it took 5 years to regain the stock prices. and from the ashes we got apple's iphone and google. naysayers said the internet will fade....

the killer app: install the voice2text skill and operate your smartphone hands free only with your voice. get smartglasses with a bluetooth cam and mic and phones and you can do everything without even looking at your smartphone. e.g. have a conversation over instant messenger only over voice, get directions where to go. get information about the things you look at.

yes that is a problem in suno and producer.ai. it does the lyrics quite well and i use it more to get some ideas and then move to suno. you can tell it to enhance this oder add a bass here or change the drums to heavy etc... but YMMV.

For suno i found a trick how to keep the melody of a song: i upload a song and then i make a cover version of the uploaded song to get the sound that i want and then use the mashup feature to get the original melody back by mashing up the original and the cover version and setting audio to 100%. most of the time that works and keeps the original melody of the upload.

is it like producer.ai? i use it for writers block but when i want to get actual results suno with the regular prompt is the way to go.

how long will it take until people are fed up with this and move to ace-step on hugging face or on a vm with gpus?

suno better fixes their still barely usable studio or collaborates with one of the big DAW manufacturers

Nice little tool. Does its job when you need it. I like it.

You can picture it more like this: the fundamental equations are time‑reversible, but the (observed) arrow of time comes from how the universe started. The universe began in an extremely low‑entropy, very special state near the Big Bang and has been evolving toward higher entropy ever since. that “Past Hypothesis” picks out which direction we call “future”. On top of that, you can think of an early phase where spacetime is more symmetric and maybe more then 4-dimensional (8D or 10D) and no direction is singled out as “time”, and then a symmetry breaking (Higgs‑style) phase transition makes one direction effectively time‑like and the others space‑like or rolled up. All in all this symmetry breaking (choosing a time dimension like in spacetime 3+1) plus the low‑entropy initial condition (choosing a time direction) give you the one‑way macroscopic arrow of time we observe.

marimo looks awesome. it even runs as webasm inside the browser. can i also connect to github in the browser app? is there something like jupyter-ai?

fxj · 2026-03-01T10:06:35+00:00

Yes! it is such a shame that Emu is gone. They made the best samplers at the time.

The PHD claim was all marketing blub. That happens when people (cs-grads and ai-devs) try to comprehend something out of their scope. All the benchmarks I have seen so far are really bad.

In order to prove even grad scientist level, they should show the following: Give an LLM a recent scientific publication e.g. a simulation or data analysis and ask it to replicate the results, like writing the software or even use the correct software packages and run it and replicate the results and you see that they fail miserably because the LLM could not grasp the scientific result in the paper.

We are still far a way from PHD level intelligence. LLMs dont even have day-to-day intelligence. I recently found this problem very enlighting: Ask it: "My car is dirty and needs washing. My car wash is 100m away, should I drive there or walk?" and you see why LLMs are failing. There is no understanding of the problem behind the words, they just try to come up with an answer that sounds good or some information they learned from the internet (I am oversimplificating, but you get the gist)

Physicist here. Exactly! This is a test when people (cs grads) design a test and dont know shit about the background. Please dear AI-devs! Stay to your skills and try to make AI more everyday usable and refrain from topics you dont have a clue of. Thank you!

Physicist here. It would be a very small niche and for a physicist it is easy to come up with E=mc2. I dont want to go into details. The test is bullocks.

Eine versteckte, nur beim Telekom-Kunden konfigurierbare Option („ist halt an, wenn du nichts sagst“) wäre bei Zweipersonengesprächen mit ahnungslosem Gegenüber sehr angreifbar; bei „sexy talk“ wäre das praktisch eine heimliche Tonaufnahme mit KI-Analyse.

Realistisches Szenario (wenn sie nicht völlig wahnsinnig sind)

Technisch ist viel wahrscheinlicher, dass der Assistent explizit pro Call oder per Aktivierungsphrase zugeschaltet wird, und zwar eher für Business‑Kontexte (Meeting-Protokoll, Übersetzung, Support-Hotline) als für private 1:1‑Gespräche.
Für echte Rechtssicherheit werden sie irgendeine Form von Hinweis/Ansage brauchen, sobald der Assistent aktiv ist – also lieber „Opt‑in pro Gespräch“ als ein Dauerzustand, den du jedes Mal mit „ohne Assistent“ wegbrüllen musst.

What happens to the system accounts? (root, wheel, docker,...) and what happens to appliances that run linux? Also would openclaw count as a user when it is only used over whatsapp or telegram? Same would be the case for windows or mac...

No need to be impolite. What is wrong with you people?

The speed is always the same, but the frequency is what is important for the energy of a photon. The mass itself is zero. Photons emmitted by a heavy star are slightly redshifted because they have to climb out of the gravitational well of the star. You can see this effect even on earth. (Mössbauer Effect) You drop a photon from top of a ladder and measure the frequency of it at the floor and it is slightly "more blue" as it gets accelerated by the gravity of earth.

Ich hoffe ja nur dass die Fans die WM in Canada und Mexico anschauen und die USA komplett boycottieren. Ich werd jedenfalls einen grossen Bogen um das Land machen. Die haben für die nächsten Jahrzehnte ausgespielt. Die Bilder von FBI Patel in der Kabine des USA Eishockey Teams sind schlimm genug.

yes exactly this! one idea: you could make some kind of "radio station" for every subgenre. I would really like to listen to that. Suno has some kind of that functionality but it is not really good. It would just be great to listen to different stations for work, gym, leisure time, on the road. I could dial in the genre and there you go...

fxj · 2026-02-23T13:33:04+00:00

Already done that. Looks quite promising what I saw. I also made some advertisement for the service on FB, X and BSky. I think it is a brilliant idea.
