They’re just as ugly and huge as you spec them out to be. There are tons of ITX / SFF builds that look just as good or better.

Simply because nobody has successfully pitched the Unicode group to add one. Anyone can pitch new emoji, they just have to go through the fairly easy but strict formal process.

I’m really shocked you can’t see the sheer hypocrisy on your part here again. You have literally added nothing to the discussion, other than levying criticism and denigrating any points made just because you either don’t agree or don’t actu

There’s an irony in you claiming my comment is uncharitable and claiming the article is a discussion point when you haven’t even taken up the question I posited and framed them as a strawman. Can it be possible to make everything during a u

I have a lot of thoughts about this: I think this is a weakly presented argument. The article doesn’t actually present stronger alternatives or even why anything shown is negative to the user. It might be negative but otherwise this is the

Ironically the two studios you mentioned don’t actively render on GPUs and it’s an area which shows that even these small SoCs can punch way above their weight if you look at their pure compute power. Disney’s Hyperion is CPU based and Rend

As a professional in the space, a ton of people DO care about mobile performance. If you’d go to SIGGRAPH in the last few years you’d see how the landscape has really changed. It’s not going to be the primary place of creation but there’s a

What x86 chips have the same or higher number of cores in the form factors that these chips are available in and are also more performant? Strix Halo is 16 cores. Intel Core Ultra 9 285HX is 24. Apple is 18. Qualcomm is something similar to

That’s only if you consider FP32 specifically. On average the M5 Max will pull ahead for tasks like GPU raytracing (it’s currently the fastest mobile GPU for Blender rendering) and token generation and other things that benefit from the hig

Ah I see. But the only C2C equivalent on the Apple side is the UltraFusion which is 2.5TB/s if I recall correctly.

This feels fluff to me on the part of the author (whose work I don’t want to trivialize) but I don’t think they’ve actually looked deeper than a paper spec sheet on this. 1. Yes it has the same number of cores as a 5070 mobile. It’s also ru

Where did you get those numbers from? DGX Spark has a maximum of 273 GB/s bandwidth in ideal scenarios (hard to reach) That puts it between an M5 (153) and M5 Pro (307)

Splats would work and it’s what a lot of automation folks use. But the risk is that your splats aren’t tight to the surface and that can cause false positives. For training you can do a hybrid geometry plus splats workflow. Have geometry th

I know this comes up a lot on HN because its not primarily a graphics community but: 1. Gaussian Splats are very expensive to render. They capture a lot of detail which makes them seem cheaper than an equivalent raster render of that qualit

Why would you limit one to your local hardware and one to a cloud infrastructure? Both can be done locally or on cloud? the comparison point becomes moot if you change the parameters that drastically

I'm curious how the RTX Spark will perform and what it'll cost. The big things it has going for it are CUDA and DX support...but performance wise this is pretty weak. It's a 5070 (mobile) equivalent core set but in a <100W

Not traditional Gaussian splats since they have their lighting baked in but there are alternate forms that have the ability to do so but largely in academia or very specific use cases

Without some extra solving most full body IK systems won’t give you walking motion. It’ll just be like pulling a doll by its limb or QWOP You need a proper motion controller on top to actually have realistic walking motion driven by steps.

It means that you can lock the end point to a position and figure out the rest of the pose. Imagine a character walking with forward kinematics. Every time you move the characters hips , you’d have to rotate the leg joints and make sure the

It’s not trying to be a gotcha, it’s pointing out the sheer arrogance to criticize someone for your own decision to take a commonly used metaphor literally, and then to go on and act high and mighty because you’ve decided to be the outlier

You must be a hoot at parties. Getting to pick and choose what you and everyone else around you should care about and how they define terms to fit exactly what’s important to just you. Orthography may be independent of language, but shockin

You know many words can be used colloquially and not literally? Language is contextual and ever evolving. I’d also be hesitant to call people out for sloppy language when you can’t be bothered to even capitalize stuff.

Nobody is moving the goalposts. You just poorly choose words. I don’t think you actually understand the problem space of what you’re describing or you wouldn’t call it DRM. And as such I don’t think you actually have a grasp of what is affe

I’m not sure what part is confusing you or how to word it another way to make more sense to you. What I’m saying is that instead of using the secret AMX instructions, just use SME , assuming they have the hardware available to them. AMX isn

This is a pretty phenomenal article. Even for those who don’t care about LLM use, this is just a great article on optimizing Swift performance, which is sadly something that doesn’t have a lot of written material for. I’m curious if the AMX

That’s a bit of an absurd rebuttal. 1. I’m not making the claim it’s selling well. I’m just saying the article puts forth no supporting claim beyond the authors own repetitive opinion. 2. Your lived experience is (no offence intended) meani
