Stability is actually defined by having a lower energy level. That explains why energy can only flow from a less stable system to a more stable system : the more stable system does not have available energy to give.
I love the idea, that's the future. However you should be aware that the explanation of second law of thermodynamics generated by the LLM you used in your app store screenshot is wrong: the LLM has it backwards. Energy transfers to less stable states from more stable states, and not the reverse. (I use LLMs for science education apps like https://apps.apple.com/fr/app/explayn-learn-chemistry/id6448..., so I am quite used to spot that kind of errors in LLM outputs...)
Using blocks allows to keep good performence on GPUS, while giving some flexibility in the pruning pattern. And when removing entirely empty rows and columns the pruned matrices are actually pretty dense, so competitive with structured pruning for speedup, but less "aggressive" on the network during the pruning process.

Thanks! Yes, that’s the way to go. There is only a compromise between code simplicity/specialization and compression performance. And another point is the ability to use the format in memory without too much decoding or overhead when opening the file, random access for fast forward etc (when doing delta encoding) etc. (And I actually need strech too because my NPC interacts with objects, so the arm/hand bones should be at their exact place at replay, that’s 32 bones just for fingers.)
Thanks for the kind words! Yes, file size for live action or shipping directly in an app is always an issue. I may actually contribute some code, my file format is no rocket science, just a bare set of floats with some metas, not even some diff encoding between frames, so quite easy to interpret between languages and platforms.
Thanks for this! I have been working on something similar for an upcoming education app, record a course and play in the same app with a compact file format (1MB per minute, could be much less with some tricks). You can see a demo here : https://youtu.be/zcHAzQXm3Hg and more at https://explayn.me I will definitely check your lib, and will be happy to switch if it’s better !
Efficiency of solar panels on satellites is about 40%. That means ~ 700W/m2 if correctly oriented. That's quite a lot of power, even if you stay 50% of the time in night while orbiting Earth. So no need for huge panels usually. (Updated : more like 40%, not 50%)
I don't think you have the right numbers in mind talking about the compute you need for AI. The prices are getting lower and lower of course, but you still need tons of money to train the kind of networks that make the news.
There is no such thing as a dumb rocket : to get down, they are using almost exactly the same stuff they use to get up, weight wise: they use the gimbaled engines, and the nitrogen attitude thrusters. The only additional devices are the grid fins, to control aerodynamically the descent, and the legs. Then you have to write the right software, and it does not weight much more ;-)

My daughter has been playing it since she was 7, it's really cool to teach the basics of programming, and more generally to improve accuracy of spatial and time reasoning.
So you choose to suffer the bad sides of the government without taking any advantage from it ? You are free to do so, but is it really the wisest solution when you are just looking for a solution to survive ? And isn't it a form of church too, to refuse anything coming from the government ?
(I am not from any church, if you're asking)
Yes, of course, no paperwork at all would be perfect, you don't want to waste your time on anything but your job, but the benefits are really worth it.
And to answer you, I had to do some reporting, yes.
I can assure you that you will want the government to help, especially when you don't have any money to start your business. You should ask a few entrepreneurs about this.
