If you ever happen to have written something negative about Trump in a messaging app, don't go to the US. You could be randomly detained as a terrorist. (so unfortunately, no US-based conference for me in the next 4y at least)

Clever study that explores the debate between those who claim that color categories are 'innate' and those who argue that they are dependent on language. It turns out that monkeys, unlike humans, do not have consensus color categories, suggesting cognitive mechanisms such as language are required.🧪🧠

Spent the day playing with Phi4, the latest open LLM from #microsoft. Smallish (14B) & impressive. We can now run a GPT4-class model on the edge with top power use <40W on consumer grade HW. Interestingly, I got comparable perfs on a nvidia jetson Orin AGX and on my LunarLake Intel CPU (4-5 tok/s)
