You can't engineer luck.

Cleanest phrasing of P vs NP I've heard.

NP is the magical computer that always tells you which path to take. P is what current silicon can do. Tetris is NP-complete. Chess is EXP-complete.

DLSS-like upscaler in WebGPU.

First screenshot is TAA, second is the neural network upscaler.

Note that this is 550% zoom.

[Oliver Prompts @oliviscusAI]

Someone just open-sourced a desktop app that generates 3D models from images and runs 100% locally.

It's called Modly. Drop in an image, it generates a fully textured 3D mesh on your own GPU. No cloud.

→ Photo to 3D mesh in seconds
→ Runs 100% locally on your GPU
→ Pluggable AI model extensions
→ Windows + Linux

Seeing all the insane consistent assets people are dropping with GPT Image 2.0

I built Presets so you can easily copy the prompt masters

You (or someone better) nail the perfect prompt + reference images once

Then anyone can load that exact setup with one click

Do you have intuition on fp precision?

float256 - observable universe at Planck length

Now you have!

𝐕𝐢𝐬𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐛𝐥𝐨𝐠 on Vision Transformers is live.

Learn how ViT works from the ground up, and fine-tune one on a real classification dataset.

CNNs process images through small sliding filters. Each filter only sees a tiny local region, and the model has to stack many layers before distant parts of an image can even talk to each other.

Vision Transformers threw that whole approach out.

ViT chops an image into patches, treats each patch like a token, and runs self-attention across the full sequence.
Every patch can attend to every other patch from the very first layer. No stacking required.

That global view from layer one is what made ViT surpass CNNs on large-scale benchmarks.

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐥𝐨𝐠 ��𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬:

- Adapting transformers to images: patch embeddings and flattening
- Positional encodings in Vision Transformers
- Encoder-only structure for classification
- Benefits and drawbacks of ViT
- Real-world applications of Vision Transformers
- Hands-on: fine-tuning ViT for image classification

The Image below shows

Self-attention connects every pixel to every other pixel at once. Convolution only sees a small local window. That's why ViT captures things CNNs miss, like the optical illusion painting where distant patches form a hidden face.

The architecture is simple. Split image into patches, flatten them into embeddings (like words in a sentence), run them through a Transformer encoder, and the class token collects info from all patches for the final prediction. Patch in, class out.

Inside attention: each patch (query) compares itself to all other patches (keys), softmax gives attention weights, and the weighted sum of values produces a new representation aware of the full image, visualizes what the CLS token actually attends to through attention heatmaps.

The second half of the blog is hands-on code. I fine-tuned ViT-Base from google (86M params) on the Oxford-IIIT Pet dataset, 37 breeds, ~7,400 images.

Implemented the Slug Algorithm in WebGPU.

It uses a pure TypeScript text shaping pipeline to convert Inter.ttf into Bézier curves completely without Harfbuzz or WASM.

Tysm for dedicating the patent to the public domain.

This is amazing news, Slug has become the gold standard in this domain for good reason. Huge props to Eric for making this decision, this will benefit us all immensely in the long run.
