Sorry, my comment was confusingly worded, but I am precisely thinking about the head-space thing you are talking about. My point is: the fact that image generation models can generate a perfect pelican riding on a topologically correct and

The DGX Spark hits a sweet spot for me where it can simultaneously work for general computing and run local LLM inference fast enough for some hobbyist dabbling. The RTX 6000 Pro Blackwell is more than twice the price (it has increased quit

Many other distros almost work out of the box (as in they boot and run without any modifications). The custom kernel patches you mentioned address mainly non-critical bugs such as a bug where the Realtek r8127 stops working after a reboot (

I know. I'm just thinking about how to make AI create SVGs better... in theory, a sufficiently smart AI could "generate an image in its head", think about it, and then output the SVG paths to produce said image. Intuitively t

I disagree with this in the blog post: > Every single one is a pelican, on a bicycle, first try. When every student gets an A, the exam has stopped grading. Numerous pelicans and their bikes are clearly horribly malformed. In fact none o

I feel like getting LLMs to spit out an SVG is akin to getting a human artist to draw something by just reciting a list of coordinates. It's insanely hard and unnatural. Image generation models nowadays can easily generate a photoreali

I totally understand the point of view from maintainers. Review fatigue of low quality slop is a legitimate issue. The worst ones are fully autonomous AI agents looking for open source projects and adding random pull requests. But in some c

Yeah, if I take a dense grid of photos near my house, it would reveal a 500 m circle. But in practice I don't take _that_ many photos in the neighborhood. Also, the circle isn't perfectly centered on my home.

For my personal website I have a lot of photography-oriented blog posts [1], but I have special code to strip out GPS info from the location if it's close to my home [2]. EDIT: my vibe-coding slop agent put my home GPS lat long in the

The NVIDIA DGX Spark that I use has a fairly decent ARM CPU that's roughly on par with the M3 Pro and AMD AI Max 395+ according to Geekbench, plus a GPU that's very powerful (RTX 5070 level). I'm sure it will be more than pow

There's a Linux amd64 version and a Windows arm64 version. However, I use a Linux arm64 machine, and arm64 machines are going to be a lot more common going forward. I wonder if there are plans to release a Linux arm64 build?

You can't have rotational symmetry with 5 pieces since that would require a piece in the center but the chess board has an even number sized.

Foreign investment isn't fake growth and money being spent in the country is definitely a good thing. It's how Singapore managed to kickstart its economy in the 1960s. Lee Kuan Yew tried very hard, and succeeded, in getting foreig

I was thinking about doing the opposite for the common task of "SVG of a pelican riding a bike". Obviously, directly spitting out the SVG is gonna be bad. But image gen can produce a really stunning photorealistic image easily. Pr

Yeah, you can generally "whiten" the problem by scaling it in each axis until the variance is the same in each dimension. What you describe is if x and y have a covariance matrix of like [ σ², 0; 0, (nσ)² ] but whi

You can think of it as: linear regression models only noise in y and not x, whereas ellipse/eigenvector of the PCA models noise in both x and y.
