I want Intel to succeed — I like tripartite markets, and their position as “the western fab” may be even more important, but they have a very conservative culture that doesn’t charge as hard as Nvidia does.

AI Art Improves Self-Published Book Cover Quality for Independent Authors
By
–
AI art has been a boon to independent authors — cover art for many self published books used to be sooooo bad. Having a little bit of a gen-AI style is a huge step up!

GPU Throughput Increase with Multiple Processes Using MPS
By
–
With workloads that don’t fully load the GPU you can often get a substantial throughput increase by running multiple processes on each GPU, but you need to manually enable MPS to get concurrency: https://

World Rejects Radical Responsibility of Fully Automated Systems
By
–
I agree — most of the world does not actually want the radical responsibility that a perfectly automated system with no recourse entails.

John von Neumann Biography Book Purchase and Discovery
By
–
I bought The Maniac https://
a.co/d/35OG9ak instantly just because it was a book about John von Neumann, and it took me a little while to realize that it was fictionalized and not strictly properly sourced history. I still appreciated it a lot. -
Gaussian Splats as Point-Like Rasterization Primitive for Mobile
By
–
I wonder if Gaussian splats should become a point-like rasterization primitive. You can just brute force it on PC, but on a mobile system you can’t really get to full display resolution with them today.

Atari Games Generate Terabytes of Data for Reinforcement Learning Research
By
–
Classic Atari games are so small that you could include them as inline comments, and yet terabytes of data are generated from them for reinforcement learning research. The emergent complexity of automata!

Skepticism on Robot Scaling Compared to ChatGPT’s Software Advantage
By
–
I would be happy to be wrong, but I think that is overly optimistic. The ChatGPT moment was due to it being software that could scale easily and be accessed by everyone. Robots will probably follow a path closer to EVs, just due to the nature of hardware, and I would say the jury

Recommended Book on Neural Networks and Modern Deep Learning
By

This is a great little book to take you from “vaguely understand neural networks” to the modern broad state of practice. I saw very little to quibble with. https://
