> Stuff like DLSS show we're getting stuff that could generate a game's graphics frame-by-frame

A key point of DLSS (5) is that it is significantly guided by ground truth rasterization or raytracing info. It's not intended to replace graphics pipelines, it augments them to produce more detailed surfaces and interpolate frames more efficiently than calculating all of it traditionally is. But you have to calculate some of it to get these results, it can't be a purely AI solution without looking incoherent.

> Arguably hardware companies like Nvidia have incentives to subsidize open models to drive GPU demand

Not speaking on behalf of my employer and I have no insight into this strategy at all, but I feel like the sale of consumer GPUs is so small by comparison to data centers (more than 10x from what I can tell online) that more users of open weights wouldn't likely make much difference in the earnings report.

Gemini on my phone has a "4 Argon' option. I have the plan through Google One.

This past year, with agents' assistance, I've implemented a lot of ideas I had since 2022 or so. The quality isn't exactly where I had hoped but I improve that part over time and it feels nice to finally have something down in text files.

An LLM, a decent prompter, and a weekend could certainly out perform Windows Terminal.

I was banned about two years ago. This has moderately decreased the time I spend reading Reddit, but I severely miss participating in r/cpp, which is even where I found my first job.

Until recently leaving, somebody at Nvidia was working on a really cool PTX assembler with a pleasant syntax that had support for generic routines and types. I'm a bit sad that's seemingly abandoned now.

That sounds so cute. I'm surprised something like this is even possible within Factorio.

Besides lamp shading what are arguably Elon's biggest/most interesting flaws, it contained factual errors that he had to retract later.

I remember having this issue ALL THE TIME with Gemini CLI but personally I haven't experienced that yet with agy.

I had this experience at work trying to optimize a little high level Pytorch. It can't really get better than it already was, but LLMs were quite willing to pretend they will. The real solution is I need to open a PR for one of Pytorch's tracking issues.

> Then somewhere along the way, they decided they wanted to be a real browser for some reason

I had the impression all along this was the goal. The initial message was "You CAN build a modern browser" which includes JavaScript, modern CSS, WebGL, WASM, WebGPU, etc. The initial article that Ladybird very loudly proclaimed to be antithesis to asserted these are why you can't make a web browser.

> If people find a life partner they drop off the site, and you constantly have to find new users to replace them ... As a result, some of the less-scrupulous sites purposely make it less likely that you will see people who seem like great matches

I've often heard this sentiment, but I'm very skeptical. Firstly, most users in my experience seem to prefer casual relationships even if that's not what their profile indicates. Dating apps are also one of the highest vectors for cheating today, and one man even confessed to me on our second date that he has a wife in Rajasthan.

But I think the fact that the major apps' user bases all grow over time indicates they have a naturally healthy replacement rate. People turn 18 every day and desire a partner. People break up every day, etc.

Is Jeevansathi really that different mechanically from a casual dating service? I don't think it has a literal swiping motion (many dating apps don't either) but I've heard complaints that modern matrimony apps are even too similar to dating apps before.
