this is great. would’ve cited it in the diss if I had known it existed !

Found an awesome (though extremely technical!) article about various types of anti-aliasing algorithms, their strengths, weaknesses, examples of their implementations & the journey towards a new & unique type of AA: Analytical Anti-Aliasing. Article link: blog.frost.kiwi/analytical-ant…

Bell Labs Record, February 1926. "The Microscope as an Industrial Tool," bears a striking resemblance to Robert Hooke's 1665 "Micrographia," the first work to include illustrations based on microscopic observation, and the first major publication of the Royal Society.

When this came out I called best buy and they said they had one, but when we got there they said they didn’t, at which point my mom told them in the most grave tone ever that they were gonna go in The Back and find one. And they did. also the only game left was Asphalt: GT

We have a new CFP! Special Issue on Craftwork with the Digital, guest edited by Christina Corfield and Whitney Trettien. Proposals are due February 15, 2025: online.ucpress.edu/DocumentLibrar…


it is fascinating to see the bottlenecks of a technology predicted in real-time. ofc you’d imagine that the current tack of quantization would hit a limit of some sort, but knowing where that limit is, is when decisions start to be made.

[1/7] New paper alert! Heard about the BitNet hype or that Llama-3 is harder to quantize? Our new work studies both! We formulate scaling laws for precision, across both pre and post-training arxiv.org/pdf/2411.04330. TLDR; - Models become harder to post-train quantize as they…

this is a perfect proof of my theory that if you had eternal life, you would inevitably get stuck, (infinitely) many times, sometimes for millions of years at a time. and the realization would be SO much worse each time that you get stuck. rly bad thing to wish for 0/10

a wonderful description of this Lytle (sorry) book, “The Moiré Effect” cabinetmagazine.org/books/shaw.php

The Journal of Continental Philosophy has just published my article, “The Computational Search for Unity: Synthesis in Generative AI”. I address the representational reality of LLMs through the philosophical concept of synthesis. Online First PDF here: pdcnet.org/pdc/bvdb.nsf/p…

Really interesting result of Twitter's thumbnail compression here: when you see this tweet on your timeline, a lot of the lines appear green; when you expand the tweet, there are fewer; and when you expand the image itself, you discover that there are no green lines at all

The first 1,000 numbers. Every yellow line represents a prime number.
