People also said similar things in the past (I'm a musician as well: guitar, piano and bass) about Synths and Drum machines (and things like GarageBand which can do backing drums and even basslines semi-automatically now). Some of thos

Not if you want better fidelity: the VFX industry for film moved from rasterisation to raytracing / pathtracing (on CPU initially, and a lot of final frame rendering is still done on CPU due to memory requirements even today, although

It's not clear that is does affect Airbus does it? It looks like only the LEAP-1b engines are affected by this, and I was under the impression that LEAP-1b was 737-MAX-only? (A320 has LEAP-1a as far as I can see).

It used to in older (pre 2.0) versions, but due to Python's GIL lock (and the fact Python's quite a bit slower than lua anyway), it was pretty slow an inefficient using Python with AttributeScripts, so 2.0 moved to Lua with OpScri

A 256-item float32 LUT for 8-bit sRGB -> linear conversion is definitely still faster than doing the division live (I re-benchmarked it on Zen4 and Apple M3 last month), however floating point division with the newer microarchs is not as

I've tried a lot in the past as well, and after getting annoyed with proprietary OS X software (iBank in particular) back in 2009 or so, and not really liking GNUCash and KDEMoney (at least back in 2009) ended up writing my own open so

I think the throughput is currently quite limited because of low levels of water in the natural lakes close to Panama which are used for both Panama's drinking water and for the locks in the canal, so they're restricting the numbe

Is it possible they're just hearing the sound of them (you can often hear the sound they're making a few seconds before it hits where you are - I live in NZ) before us due to their much better hearing?

Yeah, I've noticed this as well with DDG recently: even with the localised checkbox disabled it still prioritises them, which often is very frustrating as the results are then almost totally useless. However, more generally, I've

In my experience with llama.cpp using the CPU (on Linux) is very slow compared to GPU or NPU with the same models as my M1 MacBook Pro using Metal (or maybe it's the shared memory allowing the speedup?). Even with 12 threads of my 5900
