A high-performance and high-level purely functional data-parallel array programming language that can execute on the GPU and CPU.

Introduction 3D Gaussian splatting is a technique that answers this question: given a dataset of pictures of a scene, how can I reconstruct it in 3D? This is achieved using a machine learning algorithm that, for many different camera angles, does the following: render the scene, compare it to the picture taken at the same camera angle, and update the scene to reduce the difference between the rendered image and the ground truth. However, unlike traditional 3D renderers, 3DGS does not use triangles as primitives, but objects called Gaussian splats, making the rendering algorithm unique to 3DGS.

Intel ME and AMD PSP: The silicon layer nobody certifies

An exercise in spotting agenda journalism: dissecting a 2022 𝑁𝑒𝑤 𝑌𝑜𝑟𝑘 𝑇𝑖𝑚𝑒𝑠 article on teen vaping sentence by sentence to show how it pins an EVALI hospitalization on legal nicotine vapes while never quite saying so—since the actual cause was illegal THC products. Every misleading sentence is technically true.

In which I revisit one of my favorite bugs, the invalid surrogate pair.

While I spend most of my time reviewing modern ‘retro’ handhelds (devices built to emulate everything under the sun) I’ve found myself wanting to go back to the roots of everything. The first‑party machines that actually started it all. And for me, that always leads back to Sony’

Albert Camus has long been misunderstood, but a new translation of his complete notebooks offers a corrective.

Crying in the shower. Taking mental health leave. This is what it’s like to work at the tech giant during the AI job apocalypse.

Someone shared a real Monet painting as an AI image and asked for critiques as to why AI art is inferior to the real thing. Hilarity ensued.

I like books. You’d probably know that if you’ve seen my bookshelf page. But, I don’t like physical books. Yeah they do look good on a physical shelf, and I do like that part of them. I just don’t like reading them.
The main issue for me, is that not every book is printed the same way. Different fonts, font sizes, spacing, page color, etc. With me being mildly dyslexic, physical books can be a dice roll. This is what I love about ereaders. You can make every book, look the same1.
