The original had an M68k @8MHz w/ 128k of RAM. It might be possible to emulate it on a Raspberry Pi Pico which has 2x133MHz Arm with w/ 264k of RAM for an even smaller package. This has been done on an ESP32 which has similar spec

It's somewhat silly to read about animation using a static doc. My preferred intro to quaternions in the context of motion is the pair of articles at https://acko.net/tag/quaternions/ . They were critical help

The two quotes below seem inconsistent. In the first case, devs use ChatGPT to generate code which upsets all the people worried about AI stealing jobs from human devs. The second quote sounds like people used ChatGPT for automatically gene

As a Xoogler, I was really annoyed that Google has massive layoffs while raking in so much profit. It shows a level of short-sightedness that went against the ideal Google culture mentioned in the original article.

Are there articles detailing the tradeoffs between an A100 system and a consumer system in terms of perf/$? E.g, if you're a startup trying to be scrappy and your choice is between a $100k+ A100 system and an off-the-shelf RTX 40x

I was able to get Stable Diffusion and other similar ML systems working in WSL2 on Win11. There might be performance differences between WSL and a native system. I haven't benchmarked AI in different configs, but my main use case is Ru

One drawback I ran into with wgpu.rs was that targeting WASM builds would result in a much weaker set of GPU features on the browser than a native Rust build. I don't know if this affect Bevy or your specific use cases, but it annoyed

Is there a good set of benchmarks available for Stable Diffusion? I was able to run a custom Stable Diffusion build on a GCE A100 instance (~$1/hour) at around 1Mpix per 10 seconds. I.e, I could create a 512x512 image in 2.5 seconds wi
