I know this is not entirely what this article is about, but I love software rendering for desktop apps. It seems to me that the performance impact with proper paint invalidation is negligible, but doesn't suffer from the same driver issues as hardware accelerated rendering seems to have. Bonus that it doesnt use any GPU resources in the age of AI
should you not be worried more about sending data to providers of your own country? I think they are equally bad personally, but if you think one of them is acceptable, why do you prefer it to be your own government that has more ties to your life?
I have a different experience and find them just as good as the latest anthropic and openai models. But then, we probably can just have opinions on this as benchmarks are probably used for marketing to a large degree. I find it hard to find truly independent benchmarks that don't have any ties to the cash flow of openai and anthropic, can not be trained up on etc.
I find it curious that almost every AI post has way more comments than other posts, and I sometimes wonder how big of a part agents play here. I can't seem to distinguish whether it's just real interest in the subject or a big campaign trying to influence people's opinion
It's on top of mind for everyone in the software development industry (be it SWEs, product people, designers, managers...), as it's such a "cross-cutting" concern, I am not surprised it's always on the HN front page.
Sure, some Rust 1.98.7-beta release is interesting to some, but AI affects most of us, one way or another.
I (and many other people I personally know, so they are not botfarms) feel many different strong emotions regarding AI on a daily basis: anxious, frustrated, tired, bored, suprised, entertained, empowered, optimistic, pessimistic, usually all of it almost every single day.
