JXL is badly supported but it does offer lossless encoding in a more flexible and much more efficient way than png does

Basically jxl could theoretically replace png, jpg, and also exr.

Not going to surprise anyone but Windows Mixed Reality VR headsets aren’t great on Linux, at least with controllers

Although that is improving!

There are very few habitable places in the world not susceptible to airstrikes. The bombs dropped on nuclear facilities last night are claimed to be able to penetrate 60 meters of earth before exploding.

George Floyd protests had more than that (closer to 8%) and they didn’t really change anything.

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?

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

I don’t think Linux VR is particularly bad if you’re using steamvr things. Unfortunately WMR on the other hand is much worse (they have to write custom drivers for tracking, and especially controllers are not that far along yet)

Computers are still advancing roughly exponentially, as they have been for the last 40 years (Moore’s law). AI is being carried with that and still making many occasional gains on top of that. The thing with exponential growth is that it doesn’t necessarily need to feel fast. It’s always growing at the same rate percentage wise, definitionally.

I think the general idea is that the ar/vr stuff would be non invasive

The startup here is making stuff for medical conditions, not games.

Medicine in the US is very expensive. There is a lot of money in helping with neurological conditions or paralysis.

I recently switched to Android. IPhones work great, the hardware is all there, the software is probably more polished, etc… but on Android you can get the phone to do basically anything with a bit of effort. There’s an app that lets you easily install most linux packages, and one that can emulate most Windows apps and games. There’s a ton of open source software, and you can actually find apps that don’t shove in-app purchases in your face (because devs don’t have to pay $100 a year just to stay on the store)

I got PrusaSlicer to work on my phone, through the Windows emulator, and sliced one relatively complex 3D model with it. For some reason it crashed every time I tried to start it after that, but it’s still pretty neat that it worked at all. PrusaSlicer has a linux build for ARM so whenever I find the time to set up one of those linux desktops on my phone I’ll probably try that.

That’s anticheat, not drm

Yeah, it’s probably not something I would have chosen if I had the option but I don’t really care about the curved screen.

Yea, I got the op 12 because it was just $50 more than the r on Amazon at the time.

It’s definitely powerful enough but I’m slightly disappointed by the software, arcore is just completely broken, and hdr is fairly spotty (works in yt app and photos app but doesn’t work in chrome or Google photos)

Can an LLM be sad, happy or aware of itself and the world? No, not by a long shot.

Can you really prove any of that though?

They train it on basically the whole internet. They try to filter it a bit, but I guess not well enough. It’s not that they intentionally trained it in religious texts, just that they didn’t think to remove religious texts from the training data.

If it wasn’t the LLM it would be random letters on license plates that drive by, or the coindence that red lights cause traffic to stop every few minutes.

You don’t think having a machine (that seems like a person) telling you “yes you are correct you are definitely the Messiah, I will tell you aincient secrets” has any extra influence?

We have ai models that “think” in the background now. I still agree that they’re not sentient, but where’s the line? How is sentience even defined?
