This paper introduces Meta’s TestGen-LLM tool, which utilizes LLMs to enhance human-written tests automatically. TestGen-LLM ensures that the generated test classes meet specific criteria for improvement over the original test suite, preventing issues caused by LLM hallucination. The tool was deployed at Meta test-a-thons for Instagram and Facebook, demonstrating success in generating accurate test cases […]

The author delves into the world of Spatial Computing, using Apple Vision Pro to explore virtual reality. The Vision Pro headset projects virtual objects into the real world, creating a seamless blend of digital and physical environments. The interactive nature of VisionOS software allows users to interact with the digital world through eye tracking and […]
Losing weight is not the hard part; it’s keeping it off. New research explains why maintaining weight loss is so difficult – people who have lost weight feel hungrier and have a stronger desire to eat for at least a year after weight loss. The body responds to weight loss by burning fuel more efficiently, […]
In this web content, the author shares their journey of quitting a job at Google to start a bootstrapped software company. After several failed businesses, they found success with TinyPilot, a device for remote computer control. In 2023, TinyPilot generated nearly $1 million in revenue with a profit increase of 20x from the previous year. […]
In a surprising turn of events, Tulare Lake, the largest body of water west of the Mississippi River, has made a comeback after disappearing 130 years ago. Previously a vital part of the ecosystem and an important stopover for migratory birds, the lake’s return has had both positive and negative effects. Indigenous communities, like the […]

They caution against fully trusting the API fields as they may not always return the expected information. The author highlights some unique examples, such as a channel with an extremely long name and videos without titles. They also mention […]
Nvidia’s GH200 CPU-GPU Superchips, designed to handle AI training and inference tasks, are now available for sale. German startup gptshop.ai has incorporated the 1,000-Watt chip into a workstation. The founder, Bernhard Guentner, was dissatisfied with Nvidia’s consumer-grade RTX 4090s for running large models and preferred to keep work out of the cloud. Guentner adapted a […]
The author is building a language model from scratch and has created a tech tree outlining the necessary steps. The first step is to learn how to differentiate with a computer, specifically using the backpropagation algorithm. The author then introduces the concept of creating a custom Tensor class for performing operations like addition, subtraction, and […]
This technical report focuses on our method for turning visual data into a unified representation for large-scale training of generative models. We also evaluate the capabilities and limitations of our model, Sora. Previous work in generative modeling of video data has focused on specific types of visual data or restricted video lengths. Sora, however, is […]
Observable 2.0 is being launched as an open-source static site generator that aims to help teams effectively communicate with data. While Observable notebooks are great for data exploration, they are not suited for polished dashboards and apps. Observable Framework fills this gap by allowing users to build data apps with interactive graphics using JavaScript on […]
