You do realize that this is likely a 10 trillion parameter model that takes something like 20 terabytes of RAM to run inference? Calculate the price for all this VRAM .... It's not getting cheaper in the next few "months".

Blatant low effort self-promotion. Your website still has a Vercel favicon.

dannypovolotski — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 21:00:12 +0000

Witcher 4 is a game that is pushing UE5's limits. Unreal comes with its source available, and CPR had to write their own world partition streaming engine, create a new type of non-actor asset for environment art, introduce a lot of multi-threading improvements. That's why it serves as a good tech demo source. Lots of people in the industry are looking carefully at how this move from a proprietary engine to UE is going for CPR, and this kind of tech demo serves are great marketing towards other companies with an in-house engine considering a move to UE.

I gave up on Warp a long time ago when it started memory leaking like crazy: https://github.com/warpdotdev/Warp/issues/2611

Also I've never quite found the AI stuff "smart" enough in the terminal to make me feel like it's contributing to anything I'm doing. More often than not the stuff it suggests is useless and worse than a naive autocomplete.

I had the exact same thing, but with Instagram. An old account that I used for years suddenly wanted to scan my face.

Isn't this piracy of sorts?

I absolutely love the new UI and have been enjoying it every day since. Some people will just complain no matter what about having their world disrupted.

It's not. Operating loss is when expenses are greater than the revenue.

Did you try to search for "public bath near me" instead of just "public bath"? That tends to work better for me when I search for stuff on Google Maps.

Larian is just using UBB.threads. Nothing special about their specific implementation of it.

Could Google be using a purported security feature to kneecap competitors?

CTO with hiring experience here, if you provide me with contact details I can also give a honest feedback on what might be wrong with your CV/interview process/experience.

New comment by dannypovolotski in "Is there any effort to prevent using web3/blockchain to host ilegal content?"

dannypovolotski — Thu, 18 Nov 2021 08:58:56 +0000

Funds don't appear on the blockchain out of nowhere. They need to be sent from another address on a PUBLIC ledger. They are ALWAYS traceable. A person who would upload illegal or pedophilic content to the blockchain would be traceable through exchanges, transactions e.t.c

That's why you don't see lots of that behavior currently. (there may be some, but nowhere near any significant amount)
