Notable that this is how extreme they have to be to differ from reality

What about an asic makes it more flexible or easy to swap out? I thought it was just a general term for any application specific chip.

I think NVIDIA's strategy is to have high throughout and compute for fp4,8,16,32,bf8,sparsity,etc and not really commit to much. I guess if the application is very well known there's a bit of overhead in that.

I'm not in industry or anything so I'm not very confident in this but I don't really see how an ASIC would be that different overall

GPUs are basically halfway to ASICs already. Probably about half of a lot of modern GPU die area is dedicated to or needed to support specialized AI hardware.

I think the next steps are integrated memory and compute, and ternary operations. Integrated memory and compute would probably need specialized hardware, I doubt it would make sense to include anything other than matrix operations and some common AI functions in that sort of processor.

Also, isn't that just an NPU?

The giant is easy. The ground is easy. The lava though... Do you want the particles to stick together? To visually connect? To collide with each other? To interact with dynamic objects?

Game design is a big part of this too. Particularly first person or other fine camera control feels very bad when mouse movement is lagging.

I agree with what the other commenters are saying too, if it feels awful at 45 fps your 0.1% low frame rate is probably like 10 fps

It says 3% of Americans are atheists, but about 29% of Americans are "religiously unaffiliated". I would say the poll only overestimated by 4%.

Yea idk listening to the clip it's probably not a new idea of his, just thought the cover was kinda funny

Anyways, he literally says in the clip that the American dream (of at least middle class prosperity) was mostly real for the baby boomer generation so I don't really know why they titled it that

 

like really, you're just realizing that now??

Went there once when I was like 12 or smth. Was cool to see snow in the summer, where I lived we normally only got snow for like 2-3 days a year

In eastern US, first time using DDG on this device, it shows normal links (searched "Ukraine drone attack")

It is probably the most polished map. I would rather use something open source, but it makes sense why they switched.

Would be nice if it had a built in calculator and unit converter, that's a ddg feature I use a lot

I don't think that's how it's supposed to display, they disappear instantly in sequence for me

What New York might look like with a double slit as your camera aperture.

With the smaller 14b model (q4_k_m), just letting it complete the text starting with "why do I"

edit: bonus, completely nonsensical (?) starting with "I don't" (what could possibly be causing it to say this?)

 

I was thinking about how hard it is to accurately determine whether a screenshot posted online is real or not. I'm thinking there could be an option in the browser to take a "secure screenshot", which would tag the screenshot with the date, url, and whether the page was modified on your computer. It could then hash both the tag and the image data and automatically upload this hash to some secure server somehow. There would need to be a way to guarantee that only the browser could do this, or at least some way to tell exactly what the source was. I'm not much of a cryptography person, but I would be surprised if it isn't possible to do this. Then, you could check if the screenshot you see is legitimate by seeing if it's hash exists in the list of real hashes.

 

mitosis or some such

 

I'm sure everyone's fine with this

 

reference image if you have no idea what I'm talking about:

I know this is a minor nitpick, but it's something that annoys me.

I got this graphics card mostly because it was the best deal on Amazon at the time (gpu shortage), and I also thought it looked decent from the images they had. However, when I actually installed it, all I see is the relatively unattractive looking black metal backplate with some white text. The other side is always the side shown in the promotional images too - not a single one of the pictures in the Amazon listing even shows the side that you'll be seeing 99.9% of the time. Do they think everyone hangs their PCs above them from the ceiling, or has open-air testbenches? Why do they never even bother with the other side? I know they want the fans on the bottom so the cooling is better, but the air in front of the CPU shouldn't be that bad, a lot of cheaper GPUs don't need that much cooling, and a ton of people have watercooling now anyways so the CPU radiators just go on the sides.

 

my reasoning: the actual colors we can see -> the wavelengths that we can extrapolate to -> basically extrapolated wavelengths plus an 'unpure-ness' factor -> not even real wavelengths (ok well king blue and maybe lavender if I'm being generous could be)

I've often seen this sort of thing in videos advertising GI in minecraft shaders, and tried it out in blender.
