  • China solves 'century-old problem' with new analog chip that is 1,000 times faster than high-end Nvidia GPUs

  • Thank you for the link, it was very interesting.

    Even though analogue neural networks have the drawback that you can't copy the neuron weights (currently, but tech may evolve to do it), they can still have use cases in lower powered edge devices.

    I think we'll probably end up with hybrid designs, using digital for most parts except the calculations.

  • What's a genre of music you're waiting to have a resurgence?

    Jump

  • Every genre is deeply connected to the time it appeared and the events that shaped it.

    I don't expect punk rock to have a resurgence any more than I expect disco music to come back. They had their time and function. They will influence new things to come as did all the stuff that came before.

    Having said that, I expect everything will become a mishmash of AI slop, so who knows?

  • This was bound to happen. Neural networks are inherently analog processes, simulating them digitally is massively expensive in terms of hardware and power.

    Digital domain is good for exact computation, analog is better for approximate computation, as required by neural networks.

  • Fellow 'Fediversers,' what keeps you hanging on here despite the "FV" being a work-in-progress, with all its built-in, various bumps & difficulties to experience along the way?

  • Nearly 90% of Windows Games now run on Linux, latest data shows — as Windows 10 dies, gaming on Linux is more viable than ever

    Jump

  • I've been gaming in Linux since the days Unreal Tournament had a Linux version, or even before that.

    The only game I want to play that still doesn't work is Heretic II, which probably is based on some cursed DX9 engine or something.

    Newer games I don't even bother to check before buying, they just work.

    Edit: Hexen, not Heretic.

  • The new survival game VEIN looks awesome with intelligent AI and interactions with nearly everything

    Jump

  • I guess AI is the new mandatory buzzword in every piece of software out there.

    In games you can probably get away with adding some more variables to a character and simulate intelligent behaviour from simple formulas like attack = strength + rage - hunger - fear, you don't really need to push a neural network into the game.

  • It could be worse.

    You could have lived through the 80's and 90's when we were on the verge of global thermonuclear war, but at least the music was great. Imagine living through that and now having to deal with this shitty dystopia with even shittier music...

  • I feel this is true about much of what you see online currently. Videos that could have been an short how-to, articles that contain mostly AI generated filler. Also, if you want support on that you better join our discord.

    I have genuine gratitude to people who share their in depth knowledge online using old fashion HTML.
