I would have expected the filters to run as a shader on the GPU which would make them much more efficient. I remember implementing two-pass gaussian blur in GLSL almost 20 years ago.

Game productions have overtaken movie in terms of budget for the largest ones. The game industry is also about 6x the size of the movie industry.

I tried TypeSafe’s Jev playground. It outputs the model latency and network latency separately. The model latency was 100-200ms in my tests.

How is the cache invalidated when: - The permissions change? - Directories are moved? - Hard-links are added? - Things are deleted? Also: Is the cache limited in size?

I have heard this take many times. But I don’t get it. For me 80% of the experience is the music. I can easily enjoy a club for a whole night without taking any drugs if I like the bands or DJs. Choose the night/venue accoring to your music taste and then it’s just like a really long concert.

I don’t think that a generative model is a good judge to assess if a text was written by itself. This article has a super stong “written by AI” smell to it. Once you notice all the em dashes and “it isn’t X, it’s Y”patterns you can’t unsee it. That plus the sloppy images, make it really hard for me to finish reading.

The Orthogonality Thesis (by Nick Bostrom) says that intelligence and ultimate goals are independent. Those non-instrumental goals can’t be stupid nor right or wrong. Increasing intelligence will not change the goals only the capability to reach them.

At first I noticed that for many questions two or three of the answers are obviously wrong. So in many cases the correct answer can be guesses easily. But then I noticed that in 90% of the cases the correct answer is the longest of the four. This makes guessing even easier. The whole thing has a vibe-slopped feel to it.

We run into this issue when watching Korean movies/dramas. My wife prefers Japanese subtitles and I prefer English/German. I haven’t found a way to enable two subtitles in Firefox (via extensions). So in those cases I usually download a release which contains subtitles in both languages and use a script to extract them via ffmpeg and then combine them into a single srt. Now the issue is that the lines of the different languages don’t always appear/disappear at the same time. This leads to text jumping up and down. I have tried to mitigate it by injecting white space where only one line is visible, but this again fails when the video player breaks long lines or when the location of the subs change to the top (because there is hard-coded text in the image). I feel like there must be a better way…

LLVM (Low Level Virtual Machine) != LLM (Large Language Model)

Why run something in a few CPU cyles on a 40 year old home computer when you can do the same (but worse) on a billion-dollar GPU cluster?

Excuse my ignorance, but you can set up your own Discord server? I thought it‘s a SaaS kind of offering.

When the rocket launches it already moves with earth's rotation at that latitude (and is stationary with respect to the ground). That's in fact the reason why many rocket launch sites are near the equator: Free velocity.

Why is it launching with a horizontal velocity? It initially moves to the right even when pointing up perfectly.

For me the page only shows a title but no content (Chrome, iOS). Or am I missing the joke? (That AI researchers and economists have nothing to say about the topic.)
