Stream RAG: Instant and Accurate Spoken Dialogue Systems with Streaming Tool Usage
End-to-end speech-in speech-out dialogue systems are emerging as a powerful alternative to traditional ASR-LLM-TTS pipelines, generating more natural, expressive responses with significantly lower latency. However, these systems remain prone to hallucinations due to limited factual grounding. While text-based dialogue systems address this challenge by integrating tools such as web search and knowledge graph APIs, we introduce the first approach to extend tool use directly into speech-in speech-…

Holographic Multi-User Multi-Stream Beamforming Maintaining Rate-Fairness
We present the first investigation into the transmission of multi-stream information from a base station equipped with reconfigurable holographic surfaces (RHS) to multiple users with the aid of multi-antenna arrays. Building upon this, we propose the joint design of RHS and baseband beamformers that enables multi-stream delivery at fair rates across all users. Specifically, we first introduce a max-min rate optimization approach, which aims for maximizing the minimum rate for all users through…

Mesoscale particle-based simulations of flow in expansion-contraction microchannels at low Reynolds number
We computationally study the flow of Newtonian fluids through sinusoidal expansion-contraction microchannels at low Reynolds number. We first use a perturbation method to analytically derive series solutions for the stream function and volumetric flow rate that extend prior work [P.K. Kitanidis and B.B. Dykaar, Transport in Porous Media 26, 89-98 (1997)] up to tenth order. We then employ two particle-based mesoscale methods, dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) and multiparticle collision dynami…

Speak Your Mind: The Speech Continuation Task as a Probe of Voice-Based Model Bias
Speech Continuation (SC) is the task of generating a coherent extension of a spoken prompt while preserving both semantic context and speaker identity. Because SC is constrained to a single audio stream, it offers a more direct setting for probing biases in speech foundation models than dialogue does. In this work we present the first systematic evaluation of bias in SC, investigating how gender and phonation type (breathy, creaky, end-creak) affect continuation behaviour. We evaluate three rec…

Mo' Memory, Mo' Problems: Stream-Native Machine Unlearning
Machine unlearning work assumes a static, i.i.d training environment that doesn't truly exist. Modern ML pipelines need to learn, unlearn, and predict continuously on production streams of data. We translate the notion of the batch unlearning scenario to the online setting using notions of regret, sample complexity, and deletion capacity. We further tighten regret bounds to a logarithmic $\mathcal{O}(\ln{T})$, a first for a machine unlearning algorithm. And we swap out an expensive Hessian inve…

I think Safari v26 has actively broken multi-line text paste into text fields, in an EXTREMELY strange way.
If I copy an entire raw email message out of MailMate and paste it into a form on a web page, all linefeeds are removed and the first header line is case-squashed.
I can paste the same clipboard into a Terminal session or a BBEdit window and the text is unmolested. Pasting into hexdump shows a perfectly normal stream of all-ASCII characters with LFs

Optimal streaming algorithm for detecting $\ell_2$ heavy hitters in random order streams

Optimal streaming algorithm for detecting $\ell_2$ heavy hitters in random order streams
Given a stream $x_1,x_2,\dots,x_n$ of items from a Universe $U$ of size $\mathsf{poly}(n)$, and a parameter $ε>0$, an item $i\in U$ is said to be an $\ell_2$ heavy hitter if its frequency $f_i$ in the stream is at least $\sqrt{εF_2}$, where $F_2=\sqrt{\sum_{i\in U} f_i^2}$. The classical $\mathsf{CountSketch}$ algorithm due to Charikar, Chen, and Farach-Colton [2004], was the first algorithm to detect $\ell_2$ heavy hitters using $O\left(\frac{\log^2 n}ε\right)$ bits of space, and their algo…

Exploiting Vocabulary Frequency Imbalance in Language Model Pre-training
Large language models are trained with tokenizers, and the resulting token distribution is highly imbalanced: a few words dominate the stream while most occur rarely. Recent practice favors ever-larger vocabularies, but the source of the benefit is unclear. We conduct a controlled study that scales the language model's vocabulary from 24K to 196K while holding data, compute, and optimization fixed. We first quantify the complexity of tokenized text, formalized via Kolmogorov complexity, and sho…

VoXtream: Full-Stream Text-to-Speech with Extremely Low Latency
We present VoXtream, a fully autoregressive, zero-shot streaming text-to-speech (TTS) system for real-time use that begins speaking from the first word. VoXtream directly maps incoming phonemes to audio tokens using a monotonic alignment scheme and a dynamic look-ahead that does not delay onset. Built around an incremental phoneme transformer, a temporal transformer predicting semantic and duration tokens, and a depth transformer producing acoustic tokens, VoXtream achieves, to our knowledge, t…

Live Music Models
We introduce a new class of generative models for music called live music models that produce a continuous stream of music in real-time with synchronized user control. We release Magenta RealTime, an open-weights live music model that can be steered using text or audio prompts to control acoustic style. On automatic metrics of music quality, Magenta RealTime outperforms other open-weights music generation models, despite using fewer parameters and offering first-of-its-kind live generation capa…

Streaming Sequence-to-Sequence Learning with Delayed Streams Modeling
We introduce Delayed Streams Modeling (DSM), a flexible formulation for streaming, multimodal sequence-to-sequence learning. Sequence-to-sequence generation is often cast in an offline manner, where the model consumes the complete input sequence before generating the first output timestep. Alternatively, streaming sequence-to-sequence rely on learning a policy for choosing when to advance on the input stream, or write to the output stream. DSM instead models already time-aligned streams with a …

How YouTube prepared to stream, for free, the Brazil NFL game globally: it partnered with NBC for production, ran multiple tests, and set up backup plans (Janko Roettgers/Lowpass)

The story behind YouTube’s NFL livestream
YouTube is for the first time streaming an NFL game for free to everyone. Here's how the service is pulling it off, from fiber links to hardware transcoders.

The first trickle from filter to pool pond.
The main pond is not quite 3/4 full, but I thought it was important to make sure the filter was completely full and ready to start filtering. So I have shored up the low edges of the filter, taken away the temporary stream, and now the water is starting to flow from filter to pond. In time it will connect with the pump bay. Then I can turn on the pump and start circulating for real.
😆
The reason this is happening now is not the best reason. Our view to the southeast is not encouraging.

A #pandemicpond post.
The bog-barrels that I added last summer have done an absolutely incredible job at keeping the water crystal clear and almost completely algae free this summer.
Only the much warmer stream between the ponds has more algae than I really like.
I also added the bigger pump at the same time which likely helped a little but the added flow also raised the level of the top pond just above the liner in some spots. So yesterday when I topped it up, I took away the flat border stones to inspect where it was leaking. It turns out, almost everywhere!
So I added some handfuls of pebble taken from the #poolpond filter since I know there is extra there..: and stuck it under the liner to raise it an inch or two all the way around.
Here is a before and after. The first pic with the purple lilly
pads is last year with the algae that was common in the summer before the big filters. The second pic is a few weeks ago when the pond was full, clear, but overflowing, notice the water overtop the flat stones. The last two pics are today after raising the liner a little under the stones.
And a pic of the happy dual-barrel bogs (which are just small versions of the giant filter I just finished in the backyard). The marsh marigolds have not bloomed in the bog barrels. Not sure if they will this year. It is quite shady for them.
Oh and a lilly is about to bloom!The fish are also very active and happy.
