what trend? they made thi ipod, they made the iphone, they’ve been late, really really late, for very basic features on either. And a bunch of just plain bad stuff.
Butterfly keyboards, magic mouse, touch bar on macs, not cherry picked at all. There are tons of examples

that would be more believable if they didn’t release the apple vision pro.
Or the years they took biding their time before they finally implemented battery charge time estimation on ios.
Or the time biding their time refining, erm, copy and paste?
Come on!

yep. you could of course swap weights in and out, but that would slow things down to a crawl. So they get lots of vram
- Comment on How does AI use so much power? 2 weeks ago:
that’s why they need huge datacenters and thousands of GPUs. And, pretty soon, dedicated power plants. It is insane just how wasteful this all is.
- Comment on How does AI use so much power? 2 weeks ago:
imagine that to type one letter, you need to manually read all unicode code points several thousand times. When you’re done, you select one letter to type.
Then you start rereading all unicode code points again for thousands of times again, for the next letter.
That’s how llms work. When they say 175 billion parameters, it means at least that many calculations per token it generates

- Comment on Anon turns on raytracing 5 weeks ago:
raytracing still needs to do subsurface scattering. It can actually do it for real though. It also “wastes” a lot of bounces, so is usually approximated anyway

he was forced to release it quickly to coincide with the film’s release. For comparison, it used to take a team of devs a couple of months to make a game. He had 6 weeks

when climbing out of the pit, it was very easy to immediately fall back down (due to the pixel-perfect collision detection).
And here is an excerpt from the manual: “Even experienced extraterrestrials sometimes have difficulty levitating out of wells. Start to levitate E.T. by first pressing the controller button and then pushing your Joystick forward. E.T.'s neck will stretch as he rises to the top of the well (see E.T. levitating in Figure 1). Just when he reaches the top of the well and the scene changes to the planet surface (see Figure 2), STOP! Do not try to keep moving up. Instead, move your Joystick right, left, or to the bottom. Do not try to move up, or E.T. might fall back into the well.”
- Comment on A game you "didn't know it was bad 'til people told you so"? 1 month ago:
it was actually way ahead of its time, for a game. One small bug (the workaround for which was in the manual) ruined its reputation. But I genuinely think it was a good game.
Also written in 6 weeks by one guy. Freaking impressive

- Comment on That's a good question 1 month ago:
he could have just, you know, forgiven them. Like he preached. If I kill myself over a grudge I hold towards you, that just makes me an idiot. And, If I go around preaching forgiveness to everyone else, a hypocrite
