The game is released on both PC and PS5, the latter of which was designed (and marketed) to take advantage of SSD speeds for streaming game content near real time. The latest Ratchet and Clank, the poster child used in part to advertise the

This assumes your model is static and never needs to be improved or updated. Inference is cheap because the final model, despite its size, is ridiculously less resource intensive to use than it is to produce. ChatGPT in its latest form isn&

Interesting title, but folks seem to forget the double-digit MHz processors straining to hit 30 FPS back then on Doom unless it was in a smaller rendering size. This would have killed the performance even on my mighty 486 running at 33 MHz

Reminds me of a commercial where an artist attempted to convince their friend in excited terms how amazing their new masterpiece was, only to reveal its a blank canvas and they ran out of paint. Edit: Ah, found it. https://youtu.

Have to agree. The market needs a correction. And history for the states definitely seems to encourage it, if not flat out reward it.

That was a Salesforce instance with largely public data, rather than something owned and operated by Google itself. It's a bit like saying you stole from me, but instead of my apartment you broke into my off-site storage with Uhaul. Te

Yep; it will just screw the employees, the investors (or at least those that didn't suddenly get clairvoyant and find an exit right before it hits the fan), and many, many apps relying on their APIs.

This sounds useful, but the lengthy attempt to describe what it solves is rather confusing. Is it caching a list? An actual type of object? The type of the object itself? The diagram, clearly well-intentioned, doesn't really answer my

Read up a bit on the effort needed to get a fab going, and the yield rates. While engineers are crucial in the setup, the fab itself is not as 'fungible' as the employees involved. I can spin up a strong ML team through hiring in

Age of Empires got me into tinkering with content generation. The flexible map rules were fantastic in making this possible. Minecraft is of course the poster child for very large worlds of interest these days. Dwarf Fortress crafts an enti

I frequently use one-time alarms for early morning travel a few days away. What makes them great is that the alarms in general are much more robust in their requirements to turn them off; I can accidentally dismiss a calendar alert, but I h

I heard older TVs being turned on and off as well as CRT monitors. Now, its that very range I 'hear' all the time. Part of me wonders if it was sensitivity to that spectrum that damaged my hearing when I was around multiple CRTs s

I'd love to know the kind of phone you're using where the voice commands are faster than touchscreen navigation. Most of the practical day to day tasks on the Androids I've used are 5-10 taps away from a lock screen, and get

Not sure how this argues their moat. The context window in pretty small (at best 192k on 5 with the right subscription). Once you run past it, history is lost or becomes gimmicky. Gemini 2.5 Pro by contrast offers 1M. Llama 4 offers 10M (th

I believe it's in part because of our experience reading things at angles. In this case, it looks to me like letters tilted backwards on a table, and I'm peering at them just above their horizon. Legible, but not comfortable.

I haven't felt compelled to give up my S23 Ultra. The 10X lens is just too useful, and I enjoy the way they did the S-Pen. My previous S21 Ultra is still in use and still going strong.

You are probably right. That would track well with prior behavior. I suppose it will also depend on how affordable/accessible these models will be.
