   I've used the xReal Air on a plane. The Air has 1080p screens for each eye, so it's pretty much the worst possible option that kind of works. I would pay 2x what I paid for the Air (~$400) in a heartbeat for a 4k option to have

   If you insist on running models locally on a laptop then a Macbook with as much unified ram as you can afford is the only way to get decent amounts of vram. But you'll save a ton of money (and time from using more capable hardware) if

   But FAISS has their own implementation of those ideas ("FastScan") which is what GP linked.

   For people who have tried this, how good is the latency from when I press ctrl-r [first letter] to when I start seeing results? If it's not instant it's just going to frustrate me.

   I could easily believe the constraint being the tiny number of k-12 teachers who themselves understand math well enough to teach it like this, no matter how small you'd like to make classes.

   GPT4 is so much better than 3.5 at virtually everything that I don't think it's worth trying to figure out which ones 3.5 is almost adequate enough for. Also, the pricing is per token, so even with 4 it is close to negligible unle

    More generally, searching for solid wood furniture should turn up some high quality local options in most places. Here in Austin, that includes Amish Furniture, Furniture in the Raw, and a couple other places that I'm less familiar wi

    Error handling in Rust is actually a lot worse than you think. In fact it may be the single worst aspect of the language. Fundamentally it is difficult to impossible to fix bugs without knowing what code caused it. Java-style exceptions gi

    Me, neither. The other one I see on Google is HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Search, and that doesn't exist either.

    God damn, Ian has been releasing super creative code since before I started paying serious attention to Python circa 2005. Great to start 2023 with another one. The opportunity to hire someone of his caliber doesn't come up often.

    I was super unimpressed with the 1.0 release of Photo AI; in particular, the sharpening was a LOT slower than standalone. But that's fixed now, and unless Topaz starts backporting the improved models to the standalone tools -- so far,

    I spent a lot of time last month using Gigapixel (actually the improved version in their new Photo AI product) last month on dozens of images for my dad's memoir. There were a couple failures where the input image was just so blurry o

    What kind of form factor do you use for 4x3090? Don't people usually use the datacenter product line when they're trying to get more than one into a box?

    My understanding is that it's absolutely normal for the headline to be written by an editor maximizing for clicks, rather than by the article author.

    I was actually testing Photoshop's new colorizing filter this week, so this is timely. My first impression of Palette in comparison is that it does a comparably good job of colorizing. Sometimes Photoshop does better, sometimes Palett

    I tried using a 40" 4k tv as a monitor a few years ago. It was big enough that I had to move my head to see different parts of the screen. I didn't like that and now I'm back on around 30".

    Completely agree. I've had about as much visibility as possible into the job of tech startup CEO from zero to 500+ employees, across two successful CEO transitions, and it's a very, very demanding role. Very few people have the sk
