What does the "Google Antigravity" mean? The link is http://antigravity.google/docs, seemingly a new product but now routing to the Google main page.

We self hosted Kratos only as our IdP: three million total users, about 200k login/logout/session/jwt queries a day, using only four 1C 2G k8s pods with one extra for courier, a standard proxied 4c8g Postgres, everything works fine. Really easy to maintain with simple configuration and fully featured API.
But their documentation is really bad, especially in OSS suites. I generally use Claude Code to read their code, find the matching implementation, and try to figure out how to properly configure.
Anyway, if you need self host your IdP, just go for it, you cannot go wrong.
lxdlam commented on A cartoonist's review of AI art, by Matthew Inman theoatmeal.com/comics/ai_... · Posted by u/ChrisMarshallNY
I'm reading some literature(fictions and non-fictions) reviews these days, and realized that literature itself, is just recording our lives in thousands or even millions of different views. The events in the real life can be similar or even identical, but will finally result in many different books, some of them are bad while others are masterpieces. Then I suddenly realized that why I hate some AI work as a long time content consumer, because that the creator behind them are just utilizing AI as a "tool", to quickly generate something meanlingless only for sensory stimulation, which stays at the surface-level, becoming a sort of cheap sensationalism works.
In contrast, I must admit that there are some AI assisted creations really shine , for example, generate an AR annotated POI image with nano banana(https://x.com/bilawalsidhu/status/1960529167742853378). But sadly, there are only 1% of creations, regardless it's an image, an audio or a video, are good, inspiring and exciting as previous ones.
Before AI can get a consciousness, it's a tool, no matter how "smart" it looks like. Only the human who use the tool smartly will create outstanding works.
Really happy to see some company that plays a key role that publish such a statement. Creativity comes from humanity, from our experience, our work, our connection.
AI may be not a theft, but it just sophisticated combinations from our wisdom. Until it can really create, the human will always win.

The 5090 TOPS number is with sparsity at 4bits, so it doubles the value compared to the 8bit sparse number for 4090.
The real jump is 26%, at 28% higher power draw and 25% higher price.
A dud indeed.
It really sucks. BTW, how did you find the statement? I cannot find it in any place.

I have a serious question about the term "AI TOPS". I find many conflicting definitions while others say nothing. A meaningful metric should at least be well defined on its own term, like in "TOPS" or expanded "Tera Operations Per Second", what operation it will measure?
Seemingly NVIDIA is just playing number games, like wow 3352 is a huge leap compared to 1321 right? But how does it really help us in LLMs, diffusion models and so on?
lxdlam commented on OpenAI is Visa – Buttering up the government to retain a monopoly sherwood.news/tech/openai... · Posted by u/gpi
From my very own perspective, to compare OpenAI with any others is meaningless: AI is far different in terms of resources and business models, maybe similar to some others, but it may collapse or have the rug pulled out by another significant technology evolution, e.g., quantum computer which may ridiculously speed up the training, or a more self-update-friendly model architecture.
To the rest of us, training a usable model these days is relatively affordable, and it seems to make no difference to use a "most intelligent" model against a subtly small model. The current business blocker is to find the application fields that work for models, which is not an area where OpenAI has an advantage.

I must say this is tremendous. There are many different AIGC explorations in 3D topics, with such high quality dataset, it will greatly assist current workflow and accelerate the 3D creative evolution.
lxdlam commented on Pat Gelsinger was wrong for Intel bcantrill.dtrace.org/2024... · Posted by u/hasheddan
Bring back Pat.
Was Pat perfect, no. But Pat acknowledged Intel’s problems - something Otellini, Krzanich, and Swan never did. These CEOs, all non-technical, focused on dividends, buybacks, and next-quarter results while Intel fell behind in advanced nodes and innovation.
Gelsinger inherited a disaster: 10nm delays, TSMC pulling ahead, and no GPU strategy. He had the courage to cut buybacks and slashed dividends. He poured billions into fabs in Arizona, Ohio, Germany, and Ireland. He delivered Intel 18A, powered on first silicon, released PDK 1.0 for Microsoft, and secured Microsoft and Amazon as customers. There were even rumors Apple might join.
Contrast this with Nadella at Microsoft back in 2014. He didn’t reboot the company by tearing everything down. Instead, he built on Ballmer-era wins like Azure, Office 365 while shifting Microsoft’s focus to the cloud. Gelsinger had to start from scratch in many ways, tackling years of neglect while facing harsher challenges.
Yes, Intel’s stock dropped $150 billion, but Gelsinger was upfront - it wouldn’t turn around before 2025. He was trained by Gordon Moore and Andy Grove, and while some saw him as arrogant, that confidence came from decades of technical leadership.
The real issue? The board. Full of people like Boeing execs. They don’t get engineering. Trusting them to fix Intel is like hoping a plane door won’t pop open mid-flight. They’re the ones who should be replaced.
I've watched the talk in 2022 between Linus and Pat. It's a common talk as a company PR but I think Pat showed me that he is a real engineer to drive this huge and years-old company, not the Wall Street managers.
