Andy Masley is doing heroic work trying to explain to people why not to worry about the climate impact of their LLM searches:

This is a great post

New blog post! "Load store conflicts", in which we look at some performance sensitive code that has surprisingly dramatic performance swings based on the compiler and the microarchitecture used. RTs appreciated! zeux.io/2025/05/03/loa…

Communism means the government owns everything. Authoritarianism means it controls everything. And ownership and control converge. So while it's well known that communism yields dictatorship, it's also true that dictatorship yields communism.

Our #SGP25 work presents a gradient filtering method to stabilize the optimization of *point-based* geometries. Our approach unlocks a wide range of possibilities—like elasticity control, acceleration, and extreme deformation of Gaussians—all within a gradient-based workflow.

python is not slow, it computes nearly 5x faster than a human would by hand

Bluesky serves a useful purpose: Keeping dumb takes in a place where susceptible people won’t see or be influenced by them. Like the containment dome over a nuclear reactor, it ensures that whatever meltdowns occur within produce minimal fallout. joshbarro.com/p/bluesky-isnt…

It's barely standing, but it's home. Waterfront - our last refuge before the demons claim us all. The wealthy cowered behind their walls & left us outside to rot. They say all hope is dead & we should accept our fate. They are wrong. ~ Mikel Share and follow (revive) if you

Light version of Pierre Terdiman 's Zero-Byte-BVH here: skal65535.github.io/BVH/ The idea is to order the triangles as a binary tree by groups of 6 triangles, each group defines a bounding box to test. If hit, recurse both half of the remaining triangles. Corentin Wallez : WebGPU!
