A new study has figured out how fast and loud people should talk on Zoom. People rated as 'good conversationalists' were those who talked faster, louder, and more intensely. Good talkers varied their decibel levels more than the bad talkers did. Those rated as good conversationalists appeared to engage more. Data from the study is still being analyzed.
UC San Diego Health, UW Health, and Stanford Health Care are testing a tool that uses OpenAI's GPT to read patient messages and draft responses from their doctors. The pilot program aims to see if AI can cut the time medical staff spend responding to patients' online queries. Early responses required heavy editing. The team is working to improve replies and to add a kind bedside manner. Preliminary data suggests that AI could add value as it scored better than real doctors at responding to patient queries posted online.
Lamini is an LLM engine for rapidly customizing models. This repository contains a 71K dataset of instructions for finetuning instruction-following LLMs, Lamini's data generator, and fine-tuned LLMs. All data and LLMs are under a license that allows commercial use.
Pandas AI is a Python library that integrates generative artificial intelligence capabilities into Pandas. It allows users to ask questions about their data and get answers back in the form of Pandas DataFrames. A browser demo is available.
MLC LLM can run any language model natively on a diverse set of hardware backends, enabling anyone to develop, optimize, and deploy AI models natively on many devices.
This guide walks readers through how to use the WebGPU graphics API to create native 3D applications in C++ in Windows, Linux, and macOS from scratch. The WebGPU graphics API allows web developers to write code that dialogues with the GPU. The guide covers basic rendering and compute and more advanced techniques.
Sam Altman, OpenAI's CEO, has recently started to become a household name. His power has increased over the past few years. He is now on the board of seven companies and was named one of Time's 10 Most Influential People. While Altman claims to want to create a better world, critics are wary that his vision for a better world may not be desirable for others. This article looks at Altman, his past, the other companies he has worked at, his vision of the future, universal basic income, potential issues with AI technology, and much more.
The days of $500,000+ salaries for tech workers could be over. Some companies are using layoffs to justify pay cuts for new hires. People are accepting lower pay and the trend will likely continue unless there is a new huge demand for tech. Recent AI developments have made many tech workers question whether their jobs will be replaced entirely. While tech is still lucrative, companies are now unlikely to overpay for developers.
Software developers will likely be performing different tasks in the future as they find new ways to make themselves useful by focusing on what AI can't do.
DeepFloyd IF is a modular model designed to generate high-quality images from text prompts. The base model creates 64x64 pixel images, while two super-resolution models create 256x256 px and 1024x1024 px versions of the image. DeepFloyd IF achieves a zero-shot FID score of 6.66 on the COCO dataset, outperforming current state-of-the-art models. Examples of images generated by DeepFloyd IF are available in the repository.
