@sastuvel People give python a bad rap but man is the string functionality nice.

@twominutepapers Something that has been bothering me for a bit, and I'm sorry, I have to call it out.

This video is titled as "NVidia's New Tech.." however, you cite multiple papers in the video that are NOT written by NVidia authors and give no indication otherwise.

@artbyrens Ima let you finish but the Microsoft Sculpt Keyboard is the best of all time.

@sidefx Houdini 20 integrating the @GPUOpen MaterialX Library! https://t.co/D5ms1Oro4s

Looks like some cool updates.

[Brian @bhsavery]

@yiningkarlli Hmm, I think ranking wise I'd put the imac g4 (the lamp one) slightly above the trash can... (excusing the display being outdated by modern standards)

And slightly behind the trash can mac pro, I'd put the g4 pro "cube"

I got llama.cpp running on Windows using the 7900XTX the other day. It uses the HIP SDK for Windows. llamav2 q4_0 7b and 13b results in the screenshot. Thanks to the PR @SlyEcho started and the community helping out with it!

@johannes_wilde @Dade916 I’m genuinely curious how you define “best”. Have you exported to Mitsuba or pbrt to get something like a reference/correct render?

[MacKenzie Shirk @mac_shirk]

This has over 1.5 million trees, each tree being over 3.5 million vertices. Thats over 5.25 TRILLION verts being handled here (not rendered obviously) and its running at around 50fps @ 1440p on a 3090. Nanite is insane
