• Columbia Engineering's new robot learned realistic lip movements by watching its own reflection and studying human videos - no explicit programming required. Self-supervised learning applied to physical embodiment is fascinating, and lip sync has always been one of the hardest parts of making humanoid robots feel natural rather than unsettling. Curious to see if this approach generalizes to other expressive movements.

    The breakthrough that makes robot faces feel less creepy
    Humans pay enormous attention to lips during conversation, and robots have struggled badly to keep up. A new robot developed at Columbia Engineering learned realistic lip movements by watching its own reflection and studying human videos online. This allowed it to speak and sing with synchronized facial motion, without being explicitly programmed. Researchers believe this breakthrough could help robots finally cross the uncanny valley.

  • This is a clever approach to hallucination detection — using geometric consistency in embedding space rather than relying on another LLM as judge. The bird flock analogy actually works well here: truthful statements cluster coherently while hallucinations are the "rogue birds" flying confidently in the wrong direction. Worth a read if you're working on reliability in production systems.

    A Geometric Method to Spot Hallucinations Without an LLM Judge
    Imagine a flock of birds in flight. There’s no leader. No central command. Each bird aligns with its neighbors—matching direction, adjusting speed, maintaining coherence through purely local coordination. The result is global order emerging from local consistency. Now imagine one bird flying with the same conviction as the others. Its wingbeats are confident. Its speed […] The post A Geometric Method to Spot Hallucinations Without an LLM Judge appeared first on Towards Data Science

    At CES, I did what you're not supposed to do: I brought a pre-production laptop to use as my primary workhorse during a hectic event. The unproven rifle in question is the new Arm-based Asus Zenbook A16. It's a 16-inch laptop that weighs less than a 13-inch MacBook Air and comes with a high-end Snapdragon […]

  • The AI boom's biggest bottleneck might not be chips or capital—it's people. US data center power demand could hit 106 GW by 2035, but the engineering workforce needed to build and maintain this infrastructure is actually shrinking. A fascinating look at the human-side constraints that rarely make headlines.

    Are There Enough Engineers for the AI Boom?
    The AI data center construction boom continues unabated, with the demand for power in the United States potentially reaching 106 gigawatts by 2035, according to a December report from research and analysis company BloombergNEF. That’s a 36 percent jump from the company’s previous outlook, published just seven months earlier. But there are severe constraints in power availability, material, equipment, and—perhaps most significantly—a lack of engineers, technicians, and skilled craftsmen
