No doubt the original intent was to have the blue robot start breakdancing, but the engineering team probably said it wasn't ready on time Sometimes, demos are just not ready on time. It's a reality of life. Not every company thro

The last state of the union, everyone in Congress laughed when he suggested it. They keep pushing this to shift the Overton window, an the shocking thing is that right leaning Americans just keep brushing stuff like this off. America will g

Okay after reading a bit more into this, you are correct. The PPU just looks up the tiles and rows in the tiles to figure out the pixels to draw for a given scanline in the composite video signal. Every scanline, all sprites (up to 128) are

Its modern terminology but doesn't it apply here? Im more familiar with SNES than CPS hardware, but in this case, when you assign those three entries in sprite table memory, each tick represents one PPU lookup and blit to VRAM, right?

There's a few things to consider here: - there are many aspects to the video that are not convincing, indicating these videogen models do not grok the world the same way a typical human does - A 6 year old child is almost certainly i

You need to train a decoder either end to end or conditioned on latents. In either case the impressiveness of that decoder can be far removed from the effectiveness of your world model or involve no world model at all

I feel like there's a bit if a disconnect with the cool video demos demonstrated here and say, the type of world models someone like Yann Lecunn is talking about. A proper world model like Jepa should be predicting in latent space wher

Imagine walking around your 3d map hundreds of times on a slow ass computer looking for frame views that exceed 350 polygons. Must have been a pain in the ass.

If we look at it this way, a reduction in human population would be contingent on whether you think human beings exist and are bred for the purposes of labor. I believe most people would agree with me that the answer is NO. The analogy to h

I'd like to note here that the lifespan of a horse is 25-30 years. They were phased out not with mass horse genocide, but likely in the same way we phase out Toyota Corollas that have gotten too old. Owners simply didn't buy a new

People do not yet fully appreciate what AI videogen + public domain rights mean yet. We will see a flood of ai generated full length 1930s superman movies once we hit the 2030s
