Beauty can be appreciated even when it is vast, even when it is beyond one's comprehension. I don't think this release should be primarily viewed as an outcome of competition. Instead it is revealing truths about the universe that were always there and always beautiful, even if we hadn't seen them yet. I believe there are infinitely more such beautiful truths currently hidden and waiting for us to discover.

Integration cost is very important to DLSS.

More information is better, but more games is also better.

That’s why we cook food. Cooked grain is way more nutritious than raw grain. The kitchen is an external stomach.

I wore a glucose monitor for a few months and tested my blood sugar response to different foods. The worst spike I ever got was American Chinese food: rice+sugary sauce. Brown rice vs white rice makes no difference.

Ice cream didn’t make much of a spike - all that fat. Waffle with maple syrup and peanut butter is completely different profile than waffle without peanut butter.

Most important thing for my blood sugar was portion size. Eat a lot, get a big spike.

Frustrating to me that people argue so much about “processed” vs “unprocessed” food. The real issue I believe is portion sizes.

The Nemotron 3 family uses Mamba-2 because that is what we had validated when we started building the family.

Changing the SSM backbone is a major revision, not a dot release. At least for us.

Something poignant about the knowledge in this paper staying lost behind a paywall.

"A founder-engineer driven company. Facebook is one of the few Big Tech firms whose founder is an engineer, and still is the CEO. Netflix is the other one where founder and co-CEO Reed Hastings was also a software engineer before starting the company. Amazon was the other example of this until recently, but it’s not the case at Google or Apple."

So funny how people overlook Jensen Huang repeatedly. As if NVIDIA wasn't big tech, or Jensen wasn't a founder, or an engineer...

I have been in an SF muni car with someone actively smoking something that was not marijuana or a cigarette. I think it was fentanyl but I’m not sure. This was about two years ago. I hope this is tolerated less now than it has been.
