Actually it seems like WebGL is doing it even faster. Which makes sense - machine learning involves a lot of matrix math, which GPUs are made for and CPUs aren't.

This is actually what I'd expect, but the website feels quite misleading. Advertising that a GPU-based approach can outbeat a CPU for neural nets is not a very strong commercial claim :)

I get an SSL error SEC_ERROR_UNKNOWN_ISSUER when I try to load this page. I tried removing https from the URL but then it's blocked by OpenDNS with message "This domain is blocked due to a security threat"

Didn't work here, just a bunch of colored squares on Safari, Chrome or Firefox. The latter actually managed to hang my machine. I could ssh to it but kill -9 wouldn't terminate Firefox. Had to force reboot the machine, haven't done that in years.

Amazing and scary, this WebGL thing is.

iMac 2011, latest OS

Edit: worked on MacBookAir

Worked fine with Safari 10.1.1 for me.

I am receiving the same error when going to it on my companies DNS. Apparently we use OpenDNS for some anti-malware and it was flagged by that

Hey HN! We're really excited to finally share this with you all! This is the first of a series of demos that we're working to release this week, and we're hoping you'll keep us to that promise :) Sorry if it doesn't work on your computer! There's still a few glitches and browser compatibility problems that we need to iron out, and we're collecting some telemetry data with LogRocket ( https://logrocket.com/ ) to help…

Just wanted to note, I ran the kitten demo in Chrome on my Nexus 6P (Android O Beta) and it worked perfectly. Extremely impressed. Keep it up!

It's quite unreal. I remember when the paper and initial implementations came out less than 2 years ago, you had to go through this really long setup process that only worked on certain operating system and was a huge fuss. A few services came out online that would do it for you, but they were slow and limited, with huge queues.

Now, as you mention, you can run it in a few seconds on your phone, or in my case, on my Chromebook, right in the browser, with zero installation. Truly amazing.

Sounds like some dodgy graphics driver on your old iMac
