If you like AI but also privacy, we just open sourced a 100% on-device voice AI demo which has sentence transformer NLU and hits 500ms-600ms on a 4x Arm Cortex-A73 linux board.

Some amazing new small AI models make it possible which I write about in the blog

@alexglow 89% but wow, not easy. Hands are a give away, of course... and impossible objects. Symmetry is suspicious.

You have correctly identified 32 of 36 seen. There are 414 total images. The average participant who has seen the same images as you identified 27.0 out of 36 correctly.

Thinking of flying with Spirit. Anyone tried them? I get they are low cost because they charge a lot of add ons. But other than thatโ€ฆ seem ok?

@RavenLuni there's a gap in the waterproof resin. The PCB is intact otherwise.

I mean, the connectors aren't waterproof either

Dishwasher control was going crazy. It was new under warranty and repair dude replaced the entire module to fix it. Can you spot the flaw? Now I have e-waste remorse ๐Ÿ˜ž . Next time it fails, I will get my glue gun out #repair #ewaste

LG Dishwasher logic module. The board is encased in a waterproof resinโ€ฆ except for tracks leading to socket - condensation forming would short theseTouch control of an LG dishwasher

Meta featured my app! ๐Ÿš€ yesterday, 1000s of people tried a BBC Micro for the very first time, over 40 years after its release ๐Ÿ•น ๐Ÿ‘พ

The fact an Arm CPU is reanimating its 8-bit ancestor in mixed-reality simulation is quite apt, too #webXR #MetaQuest #retrogaming #retrocomputing

That iPad crush ad can only redeem itself if it's actually CGI rendered by an #iPad.

Mind you, shocking and divisive content gets engagement, right? Now there's a concept for the Internet.
