The row of three pics near the top of the article are from a new model they have in the works that uses SD under the hood. It was available briefly as a test run. MJ’s additional magic over SD gets even better results.

I’ve been playing with tech like this in various Discord servers for over a year now and I’m still fascinated every day. Knowing how incredible it is and then hearing people say “Sure. But, Discord. Ew.” is a shaking-my-head moment. The D

I’m an ex-graphics expert and this is a sufficiently good summary. GL is based on a very outdated model of the GPU as a register-based state machine that grew bigger and bigger for decades. Meanwhile, the hardware moved towards being able

I’ve been playing with tech like this for over a year now. It definitely requires getting to know the AI to get good results. The tech gets better fast and makes old techniques obsolete. But, the gap between beginner and expert prompters st

I’ve used Midjourney for months now. Artists love it. It will lead to fewer people creating art the same way the cars led to less people traveling. It’s like having a pre-concept artist for for concept artist. Instant style boards to run

I’m general, most Deep Learning processes these days are non-deterministic because 1) they only care about statistical correctness 2) there are some speed advantages in ignoring the existence of race condition bugs if you don’t care about b

Yep. There has been some work to figure out frame-to-frame coherence on a sequence of images in 2D. But, I think this skips over that problem by working in 3D.

On top of being power architecture, both the 360 and the PS3 chose to push the 4 GHz clock limit before everyone else. To do this they sacrificed lots of speculative and out of order execution features of the CPU. The thinking of the hardwa

I wasn't looking for an exact answer. Just an something that indicated they were aware of caches at all. When asked to go into detail about their estimate, people who guessed 2x would start counting arithmetic operations.

I would use this as an interview question just to see if the person had ever been taught or given any thought to memory caches. "How much slower is it to iterate through a linked list vs. an array?" I mostly interviewed fresh-fr

Fun fact: The PlayStation2 (and maybe PS1?) had an "MDEC" coprocessor that was basically a JPEG decoder chip. So, in one game we used low-rez MJPEG streams for the characters' pop-up, talking-head, conversational clips. The
