It would have taken former xDefiant executive producer Mark Rubin less time to read the story than it did to write this long but inaccurate tweet. As the actual story says, the team that would go on to make Dispatch worked on Splinter Cell in 2017, two years before Rubin even joined Ubisoft.

Multi-Vector Retrieval via Fixed Dimensional Encodings is an interesting approach by Google Research. It transforms multi-vector representations into single fixed-size vectors (fixed dimensional encodings).

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

Apple will pay Google about $1 billion annually to use Google’s AI model for Siri, but Perplexity will pay Snap about $400 million so Snapchat will use its AI.
I don't know..... this doesn’t exactly sound like a good deal for Perplexity.

They show that while Diffusion LLMs are more powerful in terms of efficiency on simple parallelizable tasks, but the benefits of Any-Order Generation itself does not expand what AR LLMs can already handle.
To solve this, they propose a new form of generation called Any-Process Generation,

Really nice game about learning Morse code. Don't worry - you don't actually need to *learn* Morse initially - the code is shown. But just keying is itself a surprisingly difficult skill, while juggling the tactics of the battle. I really enjoyed it.
