Two weeks ago I had an engaging discussion with locals in Cockermouth about AI and the broader industry, a reminder that hearing candid perspectives beyond our professional circles is invaluable and something anyone working full-time in this field should make time for.
Built a golden hour tracker in under 15 minutes with Lovable: uses your phoneβs Geolocation API, the SunCalc library, and runs fully client-side with no servers. https://goldenhour.404missing.link
I'm currently looking into what makes a scientific paper more popular than others on a platform like Hugging Face. I conducted a huge array of tests, content length, time based information even semantic feature extraction to get to some sort of answer around...
What actually drives popularity of these papers, why do some papers get zero upvotes and why do some get thousands?
The answer is absolutely nothing. Yes that's right. Nothing about the actual paper itself drives popularity, the paper's popularity is driven by external factors like it's authors, external marketing and others.
So next time you see a research paper with a lot of upvotes, just remember it's not because of the efforts of the authors. Remain objective.
We built this library at takara.ai to bring attention mechanisms and transformer layers to Go β in a form that's lightweight, clean, and dependency-free.
Weβre proud to say that every part of this project reflects what we set out to do.
- Pure Go β no external dependencies, built entirely on the Go standard library - Core support for DotProductAttention and MultiHeadAttention - Full transformer layers with LayerNorm, feed-forward networks, and residual connections - Designed for edge, embedded, and real-time environments where simplicity and performance matter
Thank you to everyone who has supported this so far β the stars, forks, and feedback mean a lot.
Takara takes 3rd place in the {tech:munich} AI hackathon with Fudeno!
A little over 2 weeks ago @aldigobbler and I set out to create the largest MultiModal SVG dataset ever created, we succeeded in this and when I was in Munich, Germany I took it one step further and made an entire app with it!
We fine-tuned Mistral Small, made a Next.JS application and blew some minds, taking 3rd place out of over 100 hackers. So cool!
