filterfiber commented on Apple wants AI to run directly on its hardware instead of in the cloud   arstechnica.com/apple/202... · Posted by u/thunderbong

This brings up the question how efficient the human brain is.

As AI keeps catching up more and more with human intelligence, will it also need more and more hardware? Can it achieve human and superhuman intelligence and still run on a device like the iPhone, which weights about 170g? The human brain is 8 times heavier.

> still run on a device like the iPhone, which weights about 170g [1]? The human brain is 8 times heavier.

Why are you comparing the weight? I'm sorry but this is a bizarre comparison. This isn't even apples to oranges, this is apples to a telephone pole.

I'll also throw in that a single Nvidia H100 is 1200 grams. Unless you have a "Bracket with screws" which will add 20 grams (who wouldn't want an extra 20grams of intelligence?).

Like 70%+ of the human brain is water. The human brain needs a massive network of systems to transport nutrients/oxygen which is irrelevant to logical processing.

Similarly the majority of the iphone weight is the battery and frame. The weight of the processing chip is _grams_.

Besides the conflicting variables with the weight, the way that ML works on a physical level is completely different from the human brain.

“… with my definition of better” should be the default interpretation whenever you see the word better anywhere.

In their second sentence they have the most honest response I've seen so far at least: " averaged across 4 diverse customer tasks, fine-tunes based on our new model are _slightly_ stronger than GPT-4, as measured by GPT-4 itself."

Andreas Spiess' recent video [0] covered some milimetre-wave radar chips whose application includes presence detection at a distance (including if the bed is occupied).

Does anyone know of any bed automatable bed heating/cooling solution (DIY or otherwise) that can work offline of with Home Assistant? I had my eyes on E*ght Sleep but it looks like a lot of the functionality is behind a subscription wall [1] and the device is very chatty [2] and I haven't been able to find any API reverse engineering / firmware mods.

Does anyone know where I should look if I want to detect specific sounds? Like a smoke alarm, food bowl dispenser (its very distinct), cat meowing, 3d printer collision, that sort of thing?

Fun monetization strategy for federated apps - federate with your own instance dedicated to ads.

But more seriously what is the monetization strategy for federated apps? Up front pay or subscription for using the app?

Does anyone have any input on how this compares outside of benchmarks?

They don't appear to have any info on how they made it.

> Back then it was common to use 50+ steps for many of the common samplers. Current methods use a few steps like 1.

The "look how fast we can go" method (turbo model with 1 step and without CFG) is blindingly fast, but the quality is...nothing close to what was being done in normal 50+ steps with normal setitngs gens.

Realistically, even with Turbo+LCM, you're still going to 4+ steps (often 8+), with CFG, for reasonable one-generation quality anywhere close to the images people generated at 50+ steps without Turbo/LCM.

Which is still a big improvement in speed.

For sure the only reason I considered comparing it that way was because the linked repo appears to also be going for a similar approach with 1 step/image on the pi.

From my own experience I've had a hard ever getting a decent image below 6~8steps, but this repo seems more focused on getting it to run in a reasonable amount of time at all, which understandably requires the minimal "maybe passable" settings.

I have no idea what you mean by this?

Are you saying I'm defending apple somehow?

Because my point is nearly every phone/laptop could pull off this attack, not just a single "special hacking device". Which I think is worse for them.

If you don’t know beforehand what “Flipper Zero” is, you can also see it as disingenuous towards Apple (“Big Evil Apple harassed another small company”, rather than “Apple fixed a security issue”)
filterfiber · 2 years ago
I don't know why the title even mentions the flipper.

The attack can be done from any device that can send crafted BLE packets including laptops/android phones, etc.

Apple just fixed a BLE DOS attack.
