- Comment on Nvidia Announces DLSS 5, and it adds... An AI slop filter over your game 2 days ago:
Nvidia actually used two RTX 5090s for its demos: one plays the game, the other exclusively runs the DLSS 5 technology. The use of two GPUs is required right now as DLSS 5 still has a long way to go in terms of optimisation - both in terms of performance and its VRAM footprint. However, DLSS 5 is designed for use on a single GPU and that’s how it will ship later this year.
So much easier when you can just throw 2x the hardware at things. Let’s wait and see how it works on a single card.
Also, guessing it will be set up so developers can turn it on and off as needed in their game. If they make it a user-facing global setting, it will quickly turn into a meme generator.

Beautiful works!
If viewed on an iPhone or iPad, you can take it into AR mode and drop the piece on a table in front of you, then walk around it. Don’t know if that works on Android.

- Comment on From millions of dollars to under a grand: The dramatic fall of the NFT 1 week ago:
The way money-laundering works, you take ill-begotten funds and somehow churn it into legal tender in ways that can’t be traced back to the source. Another angle is to create corporate entities that show loss against gains, so you can deduct and don’t have to pay taxes on your windfall profits.
In the olden days, these were physical, degrading assets. Like strip malls, real-eestate, and dodgy, money-losing businesses that somehow stuck around forever. At the end, you were stuck with physical entities you couldn’t unload.
Crypto and NFT were just digital variations of the same financial model, minus the hassle of having to manage the property.

- Comment on Claude Code deletes developers' production setup, including its database and snapshots — 2.5 years of records were nuked in an instant 1 week ago:
Given that the infrastructure description included the DataTalks.Club website, this resulted in a full wipe of the setup for both sites, including a database with 2.5 years of records, and database snapshots that Grigorev had counted on as backups. The operator had to contact Amazon Business support, which helped restore the data within about a day.
Non-story. He let Terraform zap his production site without offsite backups. But then support restored it all back.
I’d be more alarmed that a ‘destroy’ command is reversible.

- Comment on Lenovo’s New ThinkPads Score 10/10 for Repairability— Repair goes mega mainstream with the launch of Lenovo's new T-series laptops 2 weeks ago:
There’s a difference between ‘repairable’ and ‘upgradable.’ Most of the comments seem to conflate the two. Lenovo isn’t doing a Framework.
It’s a smart move. Differentiates them from other laptop-makers for corporate IT, who can do the parts swaps themselves. Also smart is associating the brand with iFixit and working to get a 10/10. That’ll be what sets them apart from all the others, at least for the next year or two.

- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
When LLMs first came out, I asked them a few fun logic puzzles. The kind that Martin Gardner used to publish in Scientific American.
Got total gibberish answers. A while later, tried again. This time, perfect word-for-word responses. Had LLMs become sentient and developed logic? Turned out they had found all the old Scientific American back issues to train on.
Guessing the same is going on with the carwash question. The more posts come out about it, the more likely the LLM responses will get closer to publisher answers.
Lather. Rinse. Repeat.
