Q6T46nT668w6i3m··on The Millennium Problems for Biology
It’s strange they are all engineering problems.
Q6T46nT668w6i3m··on Flux 3
I don’t see a problem. It appears to use a shared latent to learn inverse dynamics.
Q6T46nT668w6i3m··on Apple WWDC 2026
There’s tons of Metal updates that will be announced during the platform meeting and workshops.
Q6T46nT668w6i3m··on Dead Internet Theory
Bots are a major problem on Discord. I frequently receive messages to buy MMO gold.
Q6T46nT668w6i3m··on Claude is good at assembling blocks, but still falls apart at creating them
On balance, there’s far more evidence to support the conclusion that language models have reached a plateau.
Q6T46nT668w6i3m··on Claude wrote a functional NES emulator using my engine's API
We have different experiences. Often I’ll see Claude, et. al. find creative ways to fulfill the task without satisfying my intent, e.g., changing the implementation plan I specifically asked for, changing tolerances or even tests, and frequently disabling tests.
Q6T46nT668w6i3m··on Karpathy on Programming: “I've never felt this much behind”
It’s wild that programmers are willing to accept less determinism.
Q6T46nT668w6i3m··on The entire New Yorker archive is now digitized
That’s an incredible idea and I hope you do this! If you do, you should consider adding restaurants too.
Q6T46nT668w6i3m··on CUDA Tile Open Sourced
Slang is a fantastic developer experience.
Q6T46nT668w6i3m··on No Graphics API
But they still rely on fixed functions for a handful of essential ops (e.g., intersection).
Q6T46nT668w6i3m··on CUDA-l2: Surpassing cuBLAS performance for matrix multiplication through RL
I guess it depends on your definition of proof but I’d say the reasoning and justifications sections of a TOMS article qualifies and that’s a standard nearly every popular library meets.
Q6T46nT668w6i3m··on CUDA-l2: Surpassing cuBLAS performance for matrix multiplication through RL
You’re not kidding. I just looked. There isn’t anything novel in that section. I assumed from the description they found novel methods but this is standard GPU Gems advice.
Q6T46nT668w6i3m··on Games using anti-cheats and their compatibility with GNU/Linux or Wine/Proton
Madden and NBA2K
Q6T46nT668w6i3m··on Games using anti-cheats and their compatibility with GNU/Linux or Wine/Proton
Yeah. It’s an erosion of rights that doesn’t solve the problem. You only need one cheater to make a game feel bad and DMA devices or pixel tracking can’t be stopped with these anti-cheats.
Q6T46nT668w6i3m··on Games using anti-cheats and their compatibility with GNU/Linux or Wine/Proton
I was in a similar situation and ended up buying a PS5. It ended up being exactly what I wanted.
Q6T46nT668w6i3m··on OpenAI may not use lyrics without license, German court rules
Masked token prediction is reconstruction. It goes far beyond “quoting.”
Q6T46nT668w6i3m··on OpenAI may not use lyrics without license, German court rules
I don’t follow. You’re punishing the publishing industry by punishing authors?
Q6T46nT668w6i3m··on OpenAI may not use lyrics without license, German court rules
You’re willing to eliminate the entire concept of intellectual property for a possibility something might be a technological advancement? If creators are the reason you believe this advancement can be achieved, are you willing to provide them the majority of the profits?
Q6T46nT668w6i3m··on OpenAI may not use lyrics without license, German court rules
“The content industries.”

Why would people invest in destroying what they love?

Q6T46nT668w6i3m··on Geonum – geometric number library for unlimited dimensions with O(1) complexity
It’s unsound but, thankfully, there’re many sound geometric algebra libraries,
Q6T46nT668w6i3m··on Geonum – geometric number library for unlimited dimensions with O(1) complexity
It’s slop
Q6T46nT668w6i3m··on A bug that taught me more about PyTorch than years of using it
Everyone I know at Meta uses a Mac
Q6T46nT668w6i3m··on A bug that taught me more about PyTorch than years of using it
The tinygrad folks talk too much
Q6T46nT668w6i3m··on 'Death to Spotify': the DIY movement to get artists and fans to quit the app
Because they make less.
Q6T46nT668w6i3m··on 2025 MacArthur Fellows
Yeah! Lauren is the best.
Q6T46nT668w6i3m··on Python 3.14 is here. How fast is it?
LAPACK and OpenBLAS regularly release new versions
Q6T46nT668w6i3m··on Are We in an A.I. Bubble? I Suspect So
Evidence suggests we’re data rather than compute scarce. Nowadays models are trained using other models and we’ve started to see domain collapse.
Q6T46nT668w6i3m··on Scientists say X has lost its professional edge and Bluesky is taking its place
None of these are related to what the OP is about, scientists communicating with other scientists.
Q6T46nT668w6i3m··on Scientists say X has lost its professional edge and Bluesky is taking its place
Twitter played a major role in internal scientific communication for several years (for better or worse).
Q6T46nT668w6i3m··on Scientists say X has lost its professional edge and Bluesky is taking its place
What do you mean? Activism is an essential part of science but maybe I’m misunderstanding your use of “activist.”
