@GolerGkA @SebAaltonen There’s a fairly famous example of a company full of graphics engineers pivoting to AI called NVIDIA

@SebAaltonen What’s stopping graphics engineers from pivoting to ai

It's funny that AI engineers are re-discovering all the graphics programming tricks. I remember reading the NeRF and Gaussian Splat papers long time ago, and found a lot of inefficiencies that we fixed years ago. Later they have been optimizing the techniques.

@finbarrtimbers For the networking side there’s nccl tests github.com/NVIDIA/nccl-te…

Is there a good way to test a Nvidia cluster to see how close the deployment is to an official deployment? Like a script I can run to see if it hits the right bandwidth/flops/etc

@QuetzalThoughts @besttrousers @KelseyTuoc @TheArgumentMag Do you have a link?

@besttrousers @KelseyTuoc @TheArgumentMag Unrelated but I'm curious. Did you see that QT of the History of Econ prof arguing slavery did produce more wealth than the consensus view? I'm not qualified enough to assess the claims but it seemed interesting

I was planning to write up a short response to @KelseyTuoc's recent piece in @TheArgumentMag, but... theargumentmag.com/p/giving-peopl… (1/19)

so even in their own words they are literally deporting her for writing an op-ed

This might be the first large-scale application of AI technology to geopolitics.. 4o, o3 high, Gemini 2.5 pro, Claude 3.7, Grok all give the same answer to the question on how to impose tariffs easily.

@hankgreen Couldn’t outperform GPT-4V on 10-shot HellaSwag though 😔

I’m going to need someone who isn’t an AI to explain to me what “outperforming human experts on MMLU” means.

As OpenAI and others close up about publishing research details on commercial scale models, Nvidia should strive to become a haven for open oriented scale researchers. Open models “commoditizes their complements”.

Announced at #GTC22, researchers and developers using JAX or GNN frameworks can now get significant performance boosts and improved experience on NVIDIA GPUs. Watch to learn more: JAX: nvda.ws/3f5GL8l PyG: nvda.ws/3Lz5bU1 DGL: nvda.ws/3C1LL6X

@jodyavirgan Yes, but mostly for in-network promos where I was already tangentially aware of the other hosts

@ChrisVolkernick @hankgreen From your link

@hankgreen @hankgreen ser please respond

A law we need to pass immediately: Starting in ~2030, there must be zero proprietary electric charging stations. You never run out of gas because the gas station is a Ford and you drive a Chevy. Same should go for EVs.

That game had everything: Tom Brady losing, Tom Brady almost not losing, Tom Brady losing again, Tom Brady getting a penalty for yelling at a referee, and Tom Brady losing.

@gmalone There’s No relax champ. No relax when I’m on Twitter. I’m on 10 until the second I close the app. You relax!!

@jodyavirgan @alexismadrigal @samswey You’ve got me looking back wistfully at What’s The Point

Holy shit
