yeah.. sure they did rolls eyes

Which is kind of funny because the 1996 N64 RSP was a programmable GPU with Hardware T&L.

you could give it an entire spec, let it rip through everything that it is assigned and let another model correct the failures. Or similarly there's uses as well as an asynchronous adversarial review agent which basically ends up being an extra pair of "hands" to help out where performance isn't critical.

lol given the state of Gemini at the moment, they probably used Claude.

Someone created an AR sandbox using it on the Quest 3. The player draws platforms and mario can jump around on the platforms and on your couch and stuff. That is probably the killer app of VR that everyone has waited for.

Dude, inflation is eating away at any gains from the 3% yearly wage bump. Like in the last 5 years, the cost of goods and services has nearly doubled.

It will pair well with his Palantir pre-crime division.

It will normalize though once everyone is out of a job

Worth separating “the algorithm” from “the trained model.” Humans write the architecture + training loop (the recipe), but most of the actual capability ends up in the learned weights after training on a ton of data.

Inference is mostly matrix math + a few standard ops, and the behavior isn’t hand-coded rule-by-rule. The “algorithm” part is more like instincts in animals: it sets up the learning dynamics and some biases, but it doesn’t get you very far without what’s learned from experience/data.

Also, most “knowledge” comes from pretraining; RL-style fine-tuning mostly nudges behavior (helpfulness/safety/preferences) rather than creating the base capabilities.

I have a script called catfiles that I store in ~/.local/bin that recursively dumps every source file with an associated file header so I can paste the resulting blob in to Gemini and ChatGPT in order to have a conversation about the changes I would like to make before I send off the resulting prompt to Gemini Code Assist.

Heres my script if anyone is interested in as I find it to be incredibly useful.

find . -type f \( -name ".tf" -o -name ".tfvars" -o -name ".json" -o -name ".hcl" -o -name ".sh" -o -name ".tpl" -o -name ".yml" -o -name ".yaml" -o -name ".py" -o -name ".md" \) -exec sh -c 'for f; do echo "### FILE: $f ###"; cat "$f"; echo; done' sh {} +

It’s not even just about that. The real advantage is being able to dock a phone and edit photos or videos shot earlier in the day within a desktop-style environment directly on the device. This removes the need to transfer files to a separate editing system. The phone itself becomes a complete creative workstation that can sync to the cloud whenever needed.

As of this week you can use gemini-cli with Google AI Pro

Nobody is saying that it is caused by one thing, only that one of the causes are directly attributed by acetaminophen. This is coming from studies by Johns Hopkins University, Harvard University, and Mount Sinai to name a few.

You're joking right? Google is integrating photo editing features that can exist at the point of inception. It doesn't get more integrated or fit better than that.
