Also imagine people having their own cheap 2TB rigs at home for their own usage/inference, or a multitude of small providers serving/sharing capacity thanks to cheap available hardware. But we cant have that, as the big guys are h

There are arguments that the brain is quantum, as in parts of it locally using quantum effects. Which if true, might make a counter-argument, as there will be bigger data centers needed if the goal is to simulate the brain classically. On t

A 3D transform is built into the BVH, which the ray follows when evaluating the BVH. This adds animation information too. The upside is i think, that the animation is evaluated on the fly, in parallel by each ray. No need to update anything

I am wondering if it would be possible to print a splat similarly as it is shown on the screen, so not voxelized, but like a hologram with overlapping transparent gaussians. It looks like the model from the outside at the given angle, but t

Hate to be the one saying this, but that rootkit is there to prevent you from molesting/cheating other players. So its not an one-sided issue. It is unfortunate that the developers found no other way of fighting cheats, sure. And by al

You don't have to tell all this to me, or try to convince me. I was just describing what the general attitude is. Oracle's behaviour is a risk, even if Java is open source.

Once i heard a manager explain "we must get rid of anything Oracle, including Java, because of license reasons". I see this attitude everywhere since. JavaScript people are too afraid to use Java, that is why something like TypeSc

I have this principle of "5% scripting". If the high level scripting on top of C++ consumes about 5% of frame time, then the language of the script does not matter.

A DLC and AI slop is not the same thing. Tho Steam reviews will burry both AI slop and bad DLC accordingly. And players do care about reviews.

Gamers hate AI art as it is, developers hate unreliable AI made code. Lets make something with both.

The problem is the way surface lighting/scattering is calculated, which does not match what traditional offline renders do. My issue with UE is the opposite, the engine went too far into cinema production, and making it a performant ga

Yes. If you get 120M+ in funding, you no longer qualify to be called indie.

I had a WTF moment last week, i was writing SQL, and there was no autocomplete at all. Then a chunk of autocomplete code appeared, what looked like an SQL injection attack, with some "drop table" mixed in. The code would have not

I read somewhere, that it might not have been a process, but a unique event. Dogs are not just gradually tamed wolves, but domestication might have been started with a genetic defect that made them tame.

-10 for modules is fair, only 4 for lambdas is not. My programming style changed after using lambdas in Java, even when using a different programming language later that doesn't have lambdas as such.

Substitute orangutans for Australopithecus. That is (one of) the branches that did evolve more intelligence, but didn't survive. I suppose there were lots of such branches, that either merged back into humanity (like the Neanderthals),

I am familiar with SAP, all that you say is only true if you don't know how to do it. I see this a lot, people that are familiar with "normal" technology, try to invent ways to do things in SAP. What is wrong with writing an

Who does even run Netweaver Java AS today? Apparently some do, but that was a bad idea from the start. It is an optional server component letting Java applications run in the SAP server. In my eyes it was always an unnecessary additional so

I think the success is completely logical, in hindsight, when you consider that the majority of the crypto traffic is bots (to hide the traceability, money laundering, scams), or linked to plain real-world illegal activity.

I think what is relevant here, is that there is a separation between the inside and the outside of the black hole. Since there is no communication between the two, on the inside it could be anything. And its not just the matter and space, e
