I think this almost has to be the future if most compute development goes to AI in the next decade or so, beyond the fact that the proposed API is much cleaner. Vendors will stop caring about maintaining complex fixed function hardware and

Yeah, I saw this critique show up a few months ago and now I'm seeing it everywhere, even in major financial news sites like Bloomberg.[0] It's certainly worth discussing, but people are taking it as a gotcha to prove the AI boom

These OCR improvements will almost certainly be brought to google books, which is great. Long term it can enable compressing all non-digital rare books into a manageable size that can be stored for less than $5,000.[0] It would also be grea

I don't think China wants to go to war with Japan. I just mean to explain why people are focusing on geopolitical tensions. And the answer is that those tensions do exist, and is partly why some countries are trying to become more self

The weighting of this study is strange. The difference of number of years of education maxes out at 1 point, while being raised in different locations and different school types are each given also 1 point. It seems unreasonable that going

More like a new plant in Iceland, after the PM of Iceland said any attack on Greenland would be a survival-threatening situation for Iceland. To be clear I think the comments about "geopolitical stability" or whatever term we use

Because commenters outside Japan may end up buying products containing chips made in Japan. If it was built in let's say France people would be thinking less about potential invasions. Just as "obviously Japan is going to want to

The built in Steam DRM is very weak. Of course that can change at any time, but at least the current catalog of Steam DRM-only games are not really tied down to steam except via law/licensing.

In any interactive environment you have to upload to the GPU on each frame to output to a display, right? Or maybe integrated SoCs can skip that? Of course you only need to upload the dirty rects, but in the worst case the full image. >g

Fascinating project. Based on section 3.9, it seems the output is in the form of a bitmap. So I assume you have to do a full memory copy to the GPU to display the image in the end. With skia moving to WebGPU[0] and with WebGPU supporting co

I've found the built in gitk is pretty good for some GUI tasks. If I want to view the sate of some file at a given commit, it's easier to navigate using that rather than going through git log, find and copy the commit, git show, p

by fngjdflmdflg 10mo ago
Hundreds of thousands to millions of people have come to the US legally each year for the last thirty years.[0] How is that impractical? In fact the share of immigrants in the US has increased significantly (by 3 times) in the last 50 years

I don't think this is true. Many video game companies pay for DRM protection only for the first few months to a year, then remove it after most of the sales are generated. And before the current mostly uncrackable DRMs came out (denuvo

Is there a reason that some of the linked benchmarks, if I'm reading it right, have Fil-C running faster than C?[0] I assume it's just due to micro-benchmark variability but I'm curious. Some of them seem impossibly fast comp

You can run adb from the phone itself via wireless debugging. From what I understand, you can do this via Shizuku or Termux, and there are apps that can give you a user interface for this. What changes is that users have to enable developer

`abd install` will still work as per[0] so to me sideloading is still possible, so the statement 'Google’s message that “Sideloading is Not Going Away” is clear, concise, and false' is not correct. I think users should be able to

This is from 2020. Valve wanted to be smart and invented a new "subtick" system in 2023 which isn't as good as 128 tick. To make things worse, CS is a paid game, not free like Valorant, and makes probably much more money. The

It doesn't depend on the outcome. If a bank only does prime loans and spreads out it's loans multiple borrowers, has a good reserve ratio etc. and still loses it all, that still wasn't gambling. This is more clear if you cons

By this definition prime loans are also gambling. When you bet on something risky then you are gambling. When you bet on something not risky you are not gambling. Also consider that not investing will generally lose money over time due to t

Unreal has plugins to support other AA including DLSS and FSR (which can both be used just for AA IIRC). I tried FSR and it didn't work as well as the default TAA for certain cases, but I'm pretty sure I just had some flickering i

I have always heard that MSAA doesn't work well with deferred rendering which is why it is not longer used[0] which is a shame. Unreal TAA can be good in certain cases but breaks down if both the character and background are in motion,

Ah, I did wonder how state level taxes were being accounted for, seems like the answer is they aren't. I guess I could have looked that up before posting. The values here[0] are markedly different. It shows Germany at 45%, France at 51
