Journaling app Rosebud has raised $6 million in seed funding as it seeks to further flesh out its app as an AI mentor for self-reflection and personal growth. Rosebud uses AI to analyze your journal entries, identify patterns over time, and provide insights, questions, and guidance. The company says its goal is to help users better understand themselves, build new habits, and track goals, just like a human mentor would. Since its launch, Rosebud says, users have journaled 500 million words and

DiffX - Next-Generation Extensible Diff Format¶ If you’re a software developer, you’ve probably worked with diff files. Git diffs, Subversion diffs, CVS diffs.. Some kind of diff. You probably haven’t given it a second thought, really. You make some changes, run a command, a diff comes out. Maybe you hand it to someone, or apply it elsewhere, or put it up for review. Diff files show the differences between two text files, in the form of inserted ( + ) and deleted ( - ) lines. Along with this, th

Hey HN, I'm Aline, founder of interviewing.io and one of the authors of Beyond Cracking the Coding Interview (the official sequel to CTCI). We just compiled every problem (and solution) in the book and made them available for free. There are ~230 problems in total. Some of them are classics like n-queens, but almost all are new and not found in the original CTCI. You can read through the problems and solutions, or you work them with our AI Interviewer, which is also free. I'd recommend doing A

This is part 1 of a multi-part series on grass rendering. We’ll start by figuring out how realistic grass should look like, and how herbage can be modeled with the tools we have at our disposal in real-time 3D graphics. Then, we’ll look at how to implement different methods of grass rendering in Godot. However, most of the tutorial will not be Godot-specific aside from some node names and syntax. But before getting into any implementation details, we must first understand what grass even looks

By the 7th Century CE, people in India were playing chaturanga ("four divisions"). The name refers to four types of solider that made up the game—infantry, cavalry, elephants, and chariots, commanded by a raja—that were modeled on the armies of the time. It was the innovation of these different piece types, which each moved in different ways, that distinguished chaturanga from other war games. The different piece types are the ancestors of the pieces of the modern game, and one of the reasons wh

Collatz's Ant and similarity of landscapes This is a small development from the previous post, which is mostly focused on trying to understand where the similarities between landscapes come from (and what can be taken as proxies for these). Considering the trajectories respective to the numbers from $n = 10^{20}$ to $n = 10^{20} + 100$, and the corresponding stopping times ($\tau$), maximum euclidean distance hit ($\alpha$) from the origin point $(0, 0)$ where the ant starts, the step at which

Gemini Diffusion. Another of the announcements from Google I/O yesterday was Gemini Diffusion, Google's first LLM to use diffusion (similar to image models like Imagen and Stable Diffusion) in place of transformers. Google describe it like this: Traditional autoregressive language models generate text one word – or token – at a time. This sequential process can be slow, and limit the quality and coherence of the output. Diffusion models work differently. Instead of predicting text directly, th

Transformer-based large language models are relatively easy to understand. You break language down into a finite set of “tokens” (words or sub-word components), then train a neural network on millions of token sequences so it can predict the next token based on all the previous ones. Despite some clever tricks (mainly about how the model processes the previous tokens in the sequence), the core mechanism is relatively simple. It’s harder to build the same kind of intuition about diffusion models

Second generation: Scaling with a view-conditioned diffusion prior In 2023, we introduced a second-generation approach which used a view-conditioned diffusion prior to address the limitations of the first approach. Being view-conditioned means that you can give it an image of the top of a shoe and ask the model “what does the front of this shoe look like?” In this way, we can use the view-conditioned diffusion model to help predict what the shoe looks like from any viewpoint, even if we only ha
