AMD has ARM licenses (IIRC, both architectural and for IP cores) and has shipped an Arm Cortex-A52 SoC in the past (Opteron A1100). If Nintendo really wanted, they might be able to order an Arm SoC from AMD directly. But yeah, going with Sa

VR has found one problem to solve – exercise. Beat Saber is awesome. And in the corporate space, various training simulators and visualizations are popping up. Facebook's "metaverse" sounds like a shitty version of VRChat wit

Someone made a constraint based sketcher for Blender: https://github.com/hlorus/geometry_sketcher so that is fun.. But of course using a mesh modeling engine for CAD is not the best idea. You generally do want to wor

It is one of the things asked ("import it into blender"), sort of (yeah of course you have to export in advance using the original software). Mesh export is of course the most basic feature everything can do. B-rep solid export

Of course nothing is more diffable than code, but you can get git to store proper deltas between FCStd (or any zip) files: https://blog.lambda.cx/posts/freecad-and-git/

What closed ecosystem? Nothing becomes any more closed if you switch the ISA of the CPU used in your VPS to aarch64. The only closed ecosystem here is AWS itself, but what takes power away from you is using non-EC2 services like DynamoDB. I

I did just say that "you don't get to touch the machines physically either". What does being able to buy them have to do with.. anything? The concept of renting a VM is not new. The introduction of processors that a VM hostin

If you're fine with the performance of a 2-core Kaby Lake and rather big bezels around the display, the Google Pixelbook is pretty awesome otherwise.

In the server space, there is no good reason to do weird unusual things → even e.g. the "custom" AWS hardware is as standards-compliant as possible (if you look at the ACPI tables on an a1.metal instance, you'll only find an

AWS offers Graviton instances in a bare-metal way too, so you can see for yourself what the SoC offers. It's quite clean, there is a Designware PCIe filtering quirk (same as on e.g. the Marvell Armada8k) but other than that it's S

The ISA doesn't have that much influence on efficiency (other than, like, x86's insane-length encoding requiring spending more power on decoding).

On the other hand, sketching with constraints is very intuitive. Making interesting shapes that aren't trivial CSG demos by fiddling with code just doesn't sound that great. The future dream mCAD for me is something where extrusio

A fundamental problem is that OpenCASCADE, despite being the most advanced open source CAD kernel, does kinda suck. It's single-threaded (FreeCAD has it on the main thread so any long operation blocks the entire UI) and it's… ra

CadQuery should be better as it is using the OpenCASCADE cad kernel (same as FreeCAD) instead of a simplistic ad-hoc thingy.

Lots of apps aren't pure JVM apps, and many apps with native components don't ship x86_64 versions of native libraries.
