TBF, that's the World Record for Robots. The current World Records are 9.58 s for men, 10.49 s for women.

Kneeling running robot

That would be a new record.
Veritably.

There's already 4 movies. Wait... there's 5? What?

Honestly, some of that doesn't look too bad.

But IIRC only the first two take place at Christmas

Is this, like, normal for the Deep South? Does this just happen all the time down there?
Yeah.
Do you have any hard questions?

Google Japan has invented a new keyboard design.
They even go as far as to assert that two-idiots-one-keyboard is possible with this.
It even makes sense in the wake of the comments coming out from Google folks at the moment that the primary method of recognition to get promoted is by releasing things - doesnât matter if theyâre successful or not, merely thatâs the principle metric to getting promoted.

That is, actually, completely for at least 15 years or so (at least for web-based companies, with the rest of software industry catching up lately too).

@Kamil-Podlesak I saw a really neat article on it in the last couple of days, itâs more egregious at Google than normal for the âit doesnât matter if it works, ship a thing to get promotedâ culture.

Had to check the date on the video. Is September 30th Japan's April Fool's Day?
-
@boomzilla I dunno, but am wondering, because a year ago (1 Oct 2021) they released another weird-ass keyboard design, based on a cup model.

If theyâre operating on a Oct 1 = the Westâs Apr 1 model, sure, that tracks. But I canât easily find a source that suggests this is what happened.
-
@Arantor Usually they come out on Apr 1, but since the Mothership instituted a conglomerate-wide ban on April Fools jokes they moved the date.

Something that lasts longer than 1 year but less than 5 is a product?

@topspin The ones that people still remember a few years after release are the April Fools ones.

More importantly, it's obviously stolen from Atlus (SMT3 save/fast travel terminal).

@Dragoon wow, thatâs actually impressive.
From the
headlineonebox snippet I assumed theyâre talking about the general problem for large sizes, for which the lower bound on the exponent is unknown, but the known improvements on Strassenâs algorithm are of no practical importance, as you need astronomically huge matrices.
Instead they focused on improving computation for practically relevant matrix sizes and computer architectures. So this should be quite useful.
-
@topspin Wish they'd have posted the code for e.g. 4x4 matrices somewhere in an easy format. If it's only 47 "steps", that should be doable.
I briefly browsed the paper. They talk a lot about "mults", which is a bit ... hmm .. unsure. I'd be more concerned about memory usage and reads than pure arithmetic operations. They do talk about implementing this in GPUs, which raises my hopes a bit, but otherwise the question is always how efficiently you can implement the stuff as well. (Which is part of the problem with the other matrix multiplication algorithms.)
-
@cvi I have only read the TR blurb, not the actual research article. My first thoughts also were that for the efficiency of a real algorithm thereâs a lot more going on than counting the number of multiplications. But it does at least sound like what they got is effectively faster on real hardware than the previously used algorithm.

@topspin I'd say I don't want to live on this planet anymore, but I think at some point it starts to make little difference.
