They spell out the problems on the page: * If you are a VR dev, popping in and out of a headset dozens of times a day is a pain. * If you are in marketing, getting someone passing by to put on a headset is a challenge. * If you are a player

Can anyone in here explain why there are so many vague "I don't trust Kagi" comments in here? I don't know who they are. And, I haven't seen anyone expand on why.

So, you’ve got a portable deck wired to augmented reality glasses. Just need a chordic keyboard and you’ll be a full-on Neuromancer/Snow Crash gargoyle :)

I never see mention of https://holepunch.to/ I think it would be great if we had more serverless apps.

Here’s a recent demo made by researchers at Nvidia trying to render the most detailed, realistic scene possible using AI tech to a small degree -mostly as asset compression, but also in material modeling beyond what direct approaches can cu

Because our ability to simulate/render a realistic world in real time using direct equations is still very limited. We’re accustomed to these limitations and often feel “graphics are good enough”. But, we’ll always be decades behind “I

Having spent 20 years making game engines and the past 4 years playing with AI image gen, I believe you are right. There have been musings for a while now that 3D rendering is going to switch from “lay down the scene’s albedo & specular

Nvidia’s marketing team uses confusing terminology to make their product sound cooler than it is. An Intel “core” can perform AVX512 SIMD instructions that involve 16 lanes of 32-bit data. Intel cores are packaged in groups of up to 16. And

I’m only an armchair expert on Erlang. But, having looked into it repeatedly for a couple decades, my take-away is the “Let it crash” slogan is good. But, also presented a bit out of context. Or, at least assuming context that most people d

Working on a rented GPU would not be local. But, renting a low-end GPU might be cheap enough to use for hobbyist creative work. I'm just musing on lots of different routes to make hobby AI use economically feasible.

There is certainly a market/hobby opportunity for "discount AI" for no-revenue creative tasks. A lot of r/LocalLLaMA/ is focused on that area and in squeezing the best results out of limited hardware. Local is great

There are DX/GL interop functions in the CUDA API. But, they are a bit tricky. Unless you really have a strong, specific need for something only available in CUDA, you are better off using compute shaders.
