You could convert ~800 lines of scalar float processing templated C++ code that used mixins for wrapping logic and float/double to well-optimised SIMD code for two different ISAs (without using wrapper class helpers, it wrote the full

It's an example of useful work. 11 years ago, I would have been able to use that code in production for the company I worked at at the time, and the conversion would have been very useful. I'm also using Github Copilot at work, bu

The tests and notebooks maybe: not the unrolling and re-architecting to use masking SIMD-ification. I used to do SIMD stuff a lot over the last 17 years, and it would have taken me probably a day to do that (convert 7 algorithms, all with s

I had DeepSeek 4 Pro do a very good job yesterday of loop-unrolling and SIMD-ifying (both SSE/AVX and ARM Neon versions) some very old scalar Col3f image processing and resampling/resizing C++ code I hadn't touched in 12 year

> Live performance revenue reached $329 million, well above pre-Covid levels. Is that inflation-adjusted? And as the article points out, very little of that is local talent, so it's likely some of that's due to the cost of tick

Those still have to be rasterised to a pixel-based frame buffer at render/compositing time.

Yeah, even in like 1996/1997 for certain industries there were hints as to the way things were going, even if it took 4/5 years for the transition to fully take place. For example, in 1996/1997, Digital Domain (VFX industry)

Well, to some extent you might be able to argue they're "just" brute-forcing things (especially with unlimited tokens and hours to spend on a task), but they obviously have detailed knowledge to guide them in their attempts,

The really annoying thing to me about the "Ads" in the system settings for various things like Apple Music, iCloud, Fitness, etc (other than the fact they're there in the first place) is that they appear after a bit of a dela

I mean, it's a spectrum, surely... What about stock photography, IMO as much as I personally hate "overcooked" AI-generated imagery, it doesn't annoy me that much more than stock photography does on blogs. I do however

I mean, the VFX part of the Film industry (and actual location shooting to some degree) has been chasing subsidies / tax credits since around 2002 with the Harry Potter movies that mostly were shot and produced (and more specifically t

Thanks - yeah, sorry, I mis-read that as you using both DS and K3...

What quant are you using, and what tps are you getting with K3?

Hit detection doesn't seem to be always getting the nearest surface to the camera: if there's a folded-over corner in front of the main surface, it almost always seems to move the 'main' part of the 'fabric' be

Out of interest, are you using the DeepSeek plan? (I've been using it via OpenRouter and it's much more than that, but still cheap).

by pixelesque 2mo ago
Cheaper - not cheap! Morph occasionally have lower prices than the standard rates, and: https://telnyx.com/pricing/inference-api Is one which is a bit cheaper... I haven't actually tried K3 myself...

I wish!! No, I'm using it via OpenRouter in pi.dev - I just used it 30 mins ago... Providers (automatically selected): StreamLake and Baidu Qianfan.

by pixelesque 2mo ago
It's cheaper currently on many of the inference providers. Personally, I'm having surprisingly good results with DeepSeek 4 Pro at home, which is very good value for money: it's not as good as Claude / GPT 5.6 (I have Co

Possibly because it's easier to approximate the ball's position moving vs the table than simulating the table's position in space moving (which is what happens in real life with a nudge?) and the ball's trajectory not al

I assume you mean Q8_0, not QB_0? (was confused, as I've not obviously seen a QB_0 before and can't find one now).

Why has one of the images in the header carrousel got it featuring what looks like a refueling probe for refueling other aircraft sticking out the back? The other two don't. It looks like they've taken this mostly from an older Bo

16 GB of RAM for a car infotainment system!! (Maybe it's one of those that supports split outputs for multiple screens for all passenger positions? - i.e. kids in the back? That might be a bit more understandable.)

by pixelesque 2mo ago
I'm curious about this too, and it's difficult to get any information about this given everyone has different setups, workflows and use-cases. I bizarrely had Opus 4.8 this week (in pi.dev within a podman container, using openrout

Only if you host public FOSS projects - it's not a replacement for private repos. It seems a lot of people on here don't understand that.
