NVIDIA has launched Nemotron Speech ASR, a fast and accurate open model for speech-to-text, and Nemotron 3 Nano, a 30 billion parameter open source LLM for voice agents. These models can be used together with Magpie, a text-to-speech model, to build fast and efficient voice agents with low latency and high accuracy.
Visualization of the entire history of Citi Bike, the largest bike-sharing system in the US.
The author discusses being asked for advice despite their own incompetence and realizes that people are often stuck in a "bog" of problems. They identify three main forces that keep people stuck: insufficient activation energy, gutterballing (excelling in the wrong direction), and waiting for jackpot (refusing to take action until an ideal solution arises).
Michel Siffre lived alone in a cave for 63 days without time information to study human response. His experiment led to the discovery of the body's internal clock and the field of chronobiology.
