Former DOGE members and Elon Musk allies are backing a startup aimed at using AI to apply "learnings" from DOGE to the private sector.

Hey guys. I saw a post on Instagram saying that tripo ai is holding a rendering challenge and the theme is “Out There”. This made me think about how AI-generated 3D models might change the rendering challenges. In a traditional rendering challenge most of the work focuses on modeling, resource creation, texture processing and scene setup. However with Tripo AI the process of generating 3D resources can become much faster. This made me think if the real challenges has shifted elsewhere. if everyone could generate models faster then what does the good rendering depend on? Art direction? Composition? Lighting? Camera position? storytelling? atmosphere? or clarity of idea communication? The rule of this challenge not only require to create objects with a beautiful appearance but also to create a scene that is larger, more profound, or more meaningful than what is actually before your eyes. I would really like to hear the opinions of those friends who are interested in AI-generated 3D. Do you think rendering challenge will be more dependent on technical ability or more focused on directionality and creativity? submitted by /u/babyb01 [link] [留言]

Microsoft’s AI products aren’t selling and Github’s been plagued with troubles. WIRED spoke with VP Scott Hanselman about whether the company is in catch-up mode.

The Huracan gave us the R8s, now the Temerario lends itself to a new Audi.

NASA expects to begin stacking the SLS rocket this summer for next year's Artemis III launch.

About 10 years ago, I got into the basics of ML (like regression, KNN's, LVQ's) and read a few papers before taking a break a few years back. It feels like now, there's a lot of researchers in AI. How do you identify the ones who are actually solid vs those who (forgive my phrasing) are more researchers for appearance/status (i.e don't actually know what they're talking about)? Is the core filter h-index or where they work? How would you identify them? submitted by /u/roguejedi1 [link] [留言]

Everyone keeps saying we have to use AI, that it’s revolutionary and I totally agree, it saves a ton of time. But there’s a problem with that: it saves so much time that we don’t even pay attention to the data we’re sending to AI, names, passwords, phone numbers, Social Security numbers, we send it all under the pretext of saving time. The problem is that we’re giving it away; we’re sending it to companies whose last concern is our privacy. Imagine you start talking about your eight-year-old child’s health issues to an AI using their full name. You can be sure you’ll get targeted ads about those health issues, and that your son will later see the same hyper-targeted ads. The biggest problem with AI isn’t that it makes us stupid, it’s that it further erodes our privacy. That’s why we created ONYRI Sanitize , the goal is to anonymize your data before sending it to the AI. It’s a project I created with my best friend; it’s taken us two months so far. The detection system has a 95% success rate on data from the United States and France, and we’re working to integrate as many languages as possible while maintaining the highest possible detection rate. I'd love to hear your feedback and thoughts. Thanks, everyone 🙏 Have a great day ☀️ Alex submitted by /u/No_Computer_1247 [link] [留言]

Researchers have prototyped an AI-powered internet worm . The coolest thing about the prototype is that it carries its own LLM with it, and runs it on computers that have been broken into. This is the closest to John Brunner’s original 1975 conception of a computer worm that I’ve seen.

Sharing a small CPU inference benchmark for nvidia/parakeet-tdt-0.6b-v3 that turned up a result I didn't expect going in. Setup: 2 x86-64 vCPUs (AVX2/FMA), 7.7GB RAM, no GPU. Test audio: 16.78s Harvard sentences at 16kHz mono. Results: Inference path RTF Peak Memory CPU utilization HF Transformers bfloat16 0.519 ~430MB delta — ONNX Runtime FP32 (onnx-asr) 0.328 2,667MB 49.9% GGUF Q6_K (parakeet.cpp) 0.708 928MB 99.8% ONNX Runtime is 37% faster than HF Transformers bfloat16 on this hardware. The gap comes from operator fusion and AVX2-optimized execution providers in ONNX Runtime that the PyTorch CPU path doesn't exploit as aggressively. Memory cost is the tradeoff — FP32 weights load at ~2.7GB peak. GGUF Q6_K trades throughput for memory efficiency. 928MB peak vs 2.7GB, but RTF doubles and CPU utilization hits 99.8%. For memory-constrained deployments it's the right call. For sustained throughput on a box with headroom, ONNX wins. One methodological note worth flagging for anyone doing ASR benchmarking with synthetic audio: espeak-ng inflated WER to 20.9% on a sentence set where gTTS got 4.65%. Both runtimes got identical WER within each run, confirming it's the TTS distribution mismatch rather than model or quantization quality. NVIDIA reports 1.93% on LibriSpeech — the gTTS number is a much more honest CPU-only proxy. Github repo with code, raw results, and evaluation scripts in comments below. Disclosure: benchmark was run using Neo, a local AI engineering agent inside Claude Code using its MCP. Mentioning because the runtime and audio choices came from its research phase, not prior knowledge on my end. submitted by /u/gvij [link] [留言]

Never underestimate the power that a cheap tablet holds over a kid under six. The Skylight Buddy is a device with one job: to be a cute little guy that helps your kid track routines and chores. It's $139.99, plus an optional subscription. And to my surprise, even though it offers a pretty limited set […]

An autonomous research agent ended up with more merged leaderboard records than any individual human contributor in OpenAI's spring hiring competition, Parameter Golf. 7 of the 47 merged records came from a single agent: more than 2x the next-best human (3 records). The agent ran autonomously for 22 consecutive days. Records are public at github.com/openai/parameter-golf. Disclosure since this is r/ML and it matters: I'm at Weco, we built the agent. Not stealth-launching but sharing the results. The more interesting finding, to us, is the collaboration. Aiden's records were also the most-cited on the leaderboard, 435 citations into its PRs, with human researchers using its work as the base for their own subsequent submissions. At one point Aiden plateaued for 5 days. A human contributor shipped a clever new tokenizer on top of Aiden's last record PR. Aiden then fused the human's tokenizer with components it had built during the plateau, and shipped the biggest jump in val_bpb of the entire competition. Async human-agent collaboration, neither directly aware of the other. Setup: Parameter Golf was OpenAI's 44-day public ML hiring competition this spring. 1,016 researchers entered, 2,048 PRs filed, every submission reviewed and reproduced by OpenAI engineers. Only 47 became leaderboard records. Aiden ran on a single GPU node, used under 4% of the visible compute available, and still produced 15% of the official records. 28% submission acceptance rate, roughly 6x the community rate. Most submissions added signal to the public stream rather than flooding it. Mechanism: built on AIDE: open-source tree-search for ML metric optimization. The loop reads each new upstream PR, decomposes techniques into components, drops anything that breaks the rule stack (16MB / 10-min / legal-eval), and recomposes the legal residue with its own deltas. Often shipped before reviewers had ruled on the upstream PR. Hedges to be explicit about: This is #1 by volume of merged records and PR h-i

I build RESTful APIs for a living. I've designed event-driven architectures, set up CI/CD pipelines, containerized applications on Azure, mentored junior developers. 7 years of this. Then I opened LeetCode and stared at a medium problem for 45 minutes and closed the tab. Working as a backend engineer for this long means you just never touch advanced DSA. My day to day is .NET, Azure, SQL, clean architecture. EF Core handles the data layer, Azure handles the scaling. I haven't needed to implement a graph traversal or think about tree balancing since university. So when I decided to start interviewing at bigger companies I figured I just needed a quick refresher. I studied this stuff in college. It would come back. It didn't. 7 years is a long time and most of it was gone. What I Tried I went through the usual options. LeetCode grinding. Jumping into random problems with no structure just kept reminding me how much I'd forgotten without actually helping me relearn any of it. YouTube. Watched hours of Abdul Bari, freeCodeCamp, various bootcamp videos. I'd finish a video convinced I understood it, then open my editor and draw a complete blank. Watching someone solve a problem and solving it yourself are not the same thing at all. Books. CLRS is great if your fundamentals are still intact. Mine weren't. None of these were bad resources. The problem was I kept jumping between them with no thread connecting them. A video here, a problem there, a random chapter somewhere else. After years away from this stuff I needed to go back to basics and build up properly, and nothing was set up for that. What Actually Helped Eventually I just mapped out what a proper learning order looked like and started going through it myself. Big O → Arrays → HashMaps → Linked Lists → Stacks & Queues → Recursion → Trees → Graphs → Dynamic Programming For me, order mattered. Going back to Big O first made Arrays click properly. Arrays made HashMaps make sense again. I couldn't get Trees to stick un

We've been running AI across a team for about two years. Expected the hard parts to be the models. They weren't. The problem that cost us most early on was context. We had a system making customer-facing recommendations without access to the business-specific knowledge it needed to answer accurately. Spent too long trying to fix it at the prompt level. The context layer didn't exist, and prompting didn't fill that gap, it just made it less obvious until something downstream failed badly enough to trace back to it. That failure pushed us to map the other places where AI builds break structurally rather than technically. We found five more, and they kept showing up across different stacks and different team sizes in roughly the same order. The first is identity, when you move from one person's AI to a team's AI, shared context without role-based permissions either creates noise or recreates the same knowledge silos you were trying to escape. The second is decision memory, records of what was decided aren't the same as memory of why, and that gap compounds quietly until a new team member gets a confident wrong answer from a system referencing reasoning that was abandoned months ago. The third is attention. Dashboards only work if someone looks at them, and the failure mode of every dashboard ever built is the same: critical things slip through when life gets busy. The fourth is write-back. Manual logging is a tax on the busiest moments, and the more important the work, the less likely anyone stops to document it. The fifth is governance, when the same agent that builds something also evaluates it, that's not a check, it's a loop grading its own homework. The sixth is economics, at solo scale AI cost is a rounding error, at team scale you're looking at a vendor invoice with no way to connect spend to specific workflows or outcomes. Which of these have you hit? And did they show up in this order or did something else surface first? If you're interested, we turned these i

Back in 2002, Porsche fans sputtered with rage as the Cayenne made its debut at the Paris Motor. More than 20 years later, Porsche now sells more SUVs than anything else in its lineup. Last year, the Macan and Cayenne accounted for 62 percent of all Porsche sales. Now, these SUVs are trolling traditionalists in […]

I kept shipping AI apps with no idea what was happening under the hood — prompts going in, responses coming out, costs creeping up, and zero visibility into any of it. So I built LogLens. Add one line of code and it logs every single AI call your app makes — the full prompt, completion, latency, token count, and cost — all in a clean dashboard. Works with Anthropic and OpenAI out of the box. No framework lock-in. npm install loglens const anthropic = wrapAnthropic(new Anthropic(), { apiKey: 'your-key' }) // that's it — every call is now logged Built the whole thing in ~48 hours using Claude Code. Still early but fully working.
