I feel you need to clarify which mobile apps are "medium-sized" for you, because if we just interpret this comment literally it's just laughable.

Thank for explaining what DLSS5 is! I don't think it has anything to do with "Nvidia is going to give up gaming market" narrative though.

They're advertising DLSS5 just now though. > I really don't think it's an if question but a when because it almost feels like an afterthought I feel your reasoning is very weird. Are they losing money by selling consumer G

I think the impact is heavily exaggerated. Yes, it means mathematics will be transformed into a field that relies on tools instead of your mind alone. Just like most fields. Doctors heavily rely on (really expensive!) tools to make diagnose

I'm so glad landing pages are more or less standardized. If I need to spend even 0.1 second to guess where the 'price' button is, it's 0.1 second wasted. I hope they keep standardized and boring.

Anthropic literally rewrote the whole runtime CC is based on in another language. And even then they still not dared to migrate it away from React.

First of all I put "generosity" in quotes because I don't believe a corporation as big as OpenAI is even capable of acting out of generosity. It's always one of the three: A) PR B) commoditizing complements C) stupidity.

The irony is that OpenAI got into this trouble only because they tried to play "nice". They told Buckmaster that he could publish the final result as the author as long as he removed Alpöge from the author list. They wanted to giv

Yet, neither ChatGPT desktop app nor Claude Code CLI is native. Mind you these are made by companies with practically infinite tokens.

It is. However, "Tesla statistically saved lifes" doesn't make an exciting news article.

Yes, that's why we should deanonymizing the internet. Everyone should need a government-issued license to access websites. That's exactly what the modern society needs. (in case it's not super obvious, /s)

The answer is people want that. It's not a novel idea. Huawei's folding phones are even bigger and they sell like hot cake at least in China.

There should be laws taxing people who insist on driving themselves. And the money should be used to subsidize people who switch to self-driving or install automatic assisted systems on their old cars. That'd partially mitigate the ext

It more or less reminds me of that Rick and Morty episode. They were playing an asteroid shooting. > Morty: it's boring. crank up the realism slider to max > Rick: why does it get even more empty? Wait, I got it... because the

Except it's not AI generated. The interactive interface is, but the meshes are not. Another evidence that human slop is the weakest link of the chain :)

Frontend development in the early days was nightmare. I don't know why people pretend there was some kind of golden age but there really was not. You could still develop frontend in the old way. Most browsers are very good at supportin

It's a really bad analogy then. So bad that it's hard to find an analogy describing how bad it is :)

That's why those "we prefer human writing" polls (such as the one cited in [0]: whooping 98% readers say they prefer human writing to AI!) are just noise. To quote myself: > People are really, really good at lying to the

Oh, you're the dev of diffui? It's completely off-topic, but I've notice that RMB -> Download image will download an .png but it's actually a .webp and it can cause issues (e.g. file explorer doesn't show thumbna

No way gpt-image-2 is as cheap as SDXL. (I dont concern about gpt-image-2's consumption either, just pointing out it's not a good comparison)
