This sounds really useful. That concept of weighing contributions from different sources (especially in relation to their expertise in the domain of discussion) is very interesting. Congrats again on the paper and the great response!

Congratulations, this is a really cool approach and result. I lead a research team and I'm very interested in tooling for improved collaboration, especially between human and agent researchers.

Do you have any evidence that this approach scales to cross-domain research?

If you are a senior engineer then there is no need for you to be shipping code that you don't understand. People can definitely generate code a lot faster than before, but you also have a magic genie that can help you critique and improve the code that you're reviewing, including when that code was written by agents.

An experienced senior engineer with access to a coding agent is the most powerful code-understanding system that has ever existed. There's no excuse for shipping or approving anything you don't fully grok.

It's incredibly hard to build a robot that washes dishes in a kitchen sink, let alone climbs up a rickety ladder into a garage attic and unblocks the HVAC overflow drain.

This is incorrect; the local model is a small dense neural network called BirdNET that would not have been referred to "AI" when it was published in 2021. The model outputs a bird species probability distribution and the web application displays an existing image file of the most probable bird on the screen. This is a lovely example of simple, offline, and fun project using a straightforward machine learning model.

Maybe also it could randomly jump to different vertical scroll positions while you are reading an article?

You're not wrong at all, but it's interesting that iOS launched with only web app support for third party software, and it took community pressure to persuade them to support native apps. There was not even an app store to begin with.

I knew this guy was not worth listening to when he wrote "a solid five hours away from absolutely anything else you might want to see or do". I live in Charleston, two hours away and at the heart of the Lowcountry, one of the most historically fascinating and beautiful places in the world. And a couple of hours in the other direction are the Blue Ridge Mountains!

Edge Impulse (a Qualcomm company) | Senior ML Engineer | REMOTE in NY/NJ/CT | Full-time | https://careers.qualcomm.com/careers/job/446705785653 | $126-211k + RSUs

Edge Impulse (https://edgeimpulse.com) is the top developer platform for edge AI: think HuggingFace but for models that process sensor data on the edge. We have a large and active community of hundreds of thousands of developers. We were recently acquired by Qualcomm, who have a crazy ambitious vision for bringing AI within reach of every embedded engineer.

This role will involve leadership, mentoring, and process design in addition to engineering, software architecture, and programming. There will be room to grow and potentially manage others as we expand the research team from 6 to 10+ researchers and engineers. Your role is to be the professional software engineer in a room full of researchers. You view writing great software as a craft, and you enjoy designing systems to facilitate quality code.

Our team literally wrote the book on AI at the Edge (from O’Reilly https://a.co/d/dIDZui0)—along with creating award-winning technologies like our FOMO constrained object detection architecture, FOMO-AD visual anomaly detection, and EON Compiler model optimization system. Our platform is cited in thousands of research papers, and we are a Gartner Cool Vendor in Edge Computing.

Like the rest of our team, you are naturally proactive and autonomous, and will go the extra mile when required: not by working late, but by going outside of your lane to help deliver the best possible product for our developers. We prize trust, collaboration, entrepreneurialism, and creativity.

I'm fine with them using my books to train an open source model, but it would have been nice to be asked.
