@boris_steipe do they have a way to incrementally update the model now? 😮

I thought that was a major difficulty with Generative *Pre-trained* Transformers...

I just updated the AmigaOS page on #Wikipedia

Uh, what? Signal Desktop is now requesting a verification, but the clicking "Continue" does nothing, and canceling the dialog brings up a warning that verification is essentially obligatory 😞

wtf, #signal...

@fedithom @linuxiac Well said! It's also a more constructive form of competition, in which projects can freely exchange ideas, code and infrastructure.

I'm already fantasizing a raytraced mandelbulb 🙂

@penguin42

@penguin42 Tutorials say that it's an opaque, hardware-dependent data structure. The part that's visible is AABBs (axis aligned bounding boxes), which are similar to BSPs, but the hierarchy is defined manually.

These bounding boxes can contain regular triangle meshes or procedural primitives defined by a user shader.

"We're nowhere near this Singularity where we're going to have this human-machine war [sequence with Terminator 2 crushing human skull rolling]. I mean, it would be cool; I would love to have that happen; I would love to see the machines win, quite frankly, but I think we're still quite a ways away from that."

Exceeds my expectations, but I can't tell if this is what a sensible implementation would actually look like...

@penguin42 #ChatGPT #Vulkan #RayTracing

@penguin42 Oh man, I just had to ask...

I'm hesitant to ask for a full code example... will it generate sensible Vulkan code?

@benoit You can speed up For All Mankind by pressing the ']' key in mpv, or '>' if you're watching it in YouTube.

Yes, too much ChatGPT is giving me brain damage 😂

I resumed my #Vulkan #RayTracing studies. One thing I still don't quite understand is how you'd move objects around without rebuilding the acceleration structure every frame.

I tried asking #ChatGPT, and the answer, if correct, implies you *have* to rebuild the AS every frame!

This might be fine for my demo, but how would it scale to complex scenes with hundreds or thousands of objects like the roads of Night City?

@penguin42

@boris_steipe I'm still in the wait-list for #BingChat. How well does it work for questions which require a search? What else can it do? I would expect a chatbot integrated with a Windows Live account to be able to schedule appointments, tell me if I got email from work, etc.

ChatGPT is naive in its own peculiar way, and I find it amusing.

It knows so much, understands so little. Presents silly conclusions with the eloquence of a scholar.

@freakazoid

@freakazoid I'd be quite perplexed: which neurological disorder would cause a human to give the correct reason ("flies" as a verb vs "flies" as a noun), but then immediately add: "this interpretation emphasizes the fact that bananas are relatively easy to throw, and therefore move quickly." 🤦♂️

It's amazing how many slightly incorrect explanations #ChatGPT can generate for the same sentence 😂

Actually, with some guidance #ChatGPT can get both right at the same time...

...but then it goes on to explain the semantic ambiguity, and gets confused once again, repeating twice that fruit flies are insects attracted to bananas.

#OpenAI

#ChatGPT could correctly interpret the meaning of these two statements, but can't get both right in the same answer 🤦♂️

@benoit You might have reached that critical age when metabolism slows down, and we start gaining weight more easily. For me it happened around 35yo.

The bad news is: from now on, you have to stay constantly hungry if you want to maintain your current weight! 😏
