I'd bet my house over a donut that a Spanish-speaking employee at Nvidia came up with that name. As my friend put it: "hmm, CuLitho de envidia."

For those that don't speak Spanish, this is GPT4's frog dissection: > The joke implies that a Spanish-speaking employee at Nvidia might have come up with the name "CuLitho" because it sounds similar to the Spanish phrase "culo de envidia," which means "butt of envy" or "an envious butt." The phrase is often used to describe someone who is envious or jealous of another person's success or possessions.
I feel ChatGPT "understands" the vast majority of things better than me, which is very worrying. It's only going to get better too.
GPT "understanding"[0] more things better than me has never been a worry for me, for the same reason that libraries "knowing"[0] more than me hasn't worried me.
It's the possibility of it understanding what I'm best at, better than I do, that makes me concerned.
What will our John Henry moment look like?[1]
[0] for whatever definition you want to use for these words; I like them in these contexts, but it doesn't matter if this submarine is swimming or not
[1] I'm not sure if this was in a carton I saw as a young child, but I mainly remember a variation of the tale from Civilisation Beyond Earth: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Henry_(folklore)

Cthulu might be the inspiration. Lithography + Cthulhu -> Culitho? Dark Elder Gods of computation, certainly a big gaming influence.
Quick point of clarification here, Cthulhu wasn't an Elder God, it was an Old One. The Elder Gods were the ones who came and rescued humanity from the Old Ones, and locked Cthulhu in the sunken city of R'lyeh.

#94Spanish speaking people getting offended by the name "cuLitho"?
nVidia was like "sin penesar".

#95Article:
>"k1 = A constant that depends on many factors related to the chip manufacturing process"
Me: Then k1 is not really a constant, is it?
?
:-) :-)
But on a serious note, all nitpicking aside, an interesting technology and excellent article!

> Whoa. Even though I'm a Latino, I've never been offended or felt discriminated against while living in the USA these last 20 years. I am glad that you have not been offended or discriminated on the basis of race, ethnicity or national origin in 20 years. That sounds amazing and I hope that trend extends further into the future. The sad part is that it is irrelevant in this context. You could be an elf immigrant liv…
I’m Venezuelan and I lived half my life there and half in Spain. TH is pronounced as T in Spanish. So “culitho” is “culito” which is small ass in Spanish. What a weird discussion.
Don't promote opinions to facts.

Yup this is one of the reasons why when I see people talk about how it can't do this or that I am shocked by the blinders people have. Specially people working in science fields. There are millions of very smart people with access to a lot of data that previously that they might not have been able to use but now they will be able to. I can't read the millions of science papers published over the years but the kinds o…
I call it denial. Given GPT4, I am terrified of what three letter agencies have available today.
Do you think the 3 letter agencies have better AI or just similar LLMs aimed at inteligence purposes ?

While it's true that ChatGPT gives amazing explanations in many context, this one is not particularly good. The point is not that CuLitho is similar to "culo" (ass), as the similarity is not that obvious. The point is that it's practically identical to "culito" (little ass, where "little" is typically not literally about size, but more of an endearing term - another translation could be cute ass). The similarity is l…
Sure, but what does "culito de envidia" mean, other than "little butt of envy"?

I'm from Spain and knowing the average Spanish person, I can tell you that is exactly what would happen, followed by a "no hay huevos" (literally "no balls").
I like to imagine the entire engineering team being a little bit like the minions in this 24 second clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmCxtWrRQJ8
