Managed to repair my digital piano. Two of the c's stopped working. Turns out the fix was easy: I used some 9B pencil to rub the connectors on the piano, as they apparently work with graphite. There was a silicone bit I could take off to get to the connector.

Bought a nothing phone to explore Android a bit more. the hardware is super nice. Struggling a bit to cope with the ui things tho. Specially miss pull down to search which i use all the time on iOS side. Also in general things feel a bit more weird and glitchy. Sure I'll get used to it tho.

Yume: An Interactive World Generation Model
Yume aims to use images, text, or videos to create an interactive, realistic, and dynamic world, which allows exploration and control using peripheral devices or neural signals. In this report, we present a preview version of \method, which creates a dynamic world from an input image and allows exploration of the world using keyboard actions. To achieve this high-fidelity and interactive video world generation, we introduce a well-designed framework, which consists of four main components, incl…
