Ironically when we did compression quality evaluations, me and my colleague found that PSNR way better matches our perception of quality, than LPIPS or FLIP. Our assumption is that LPIPS is biased towards quality artifacts that is not repre

> And OpneGL is worse I disagree. OpenGL is truly bad, but there is no API in this world as bad as Vulkan.

Shaders aren't the issue with Vulkan. Writing 50 lines of code for things that should be one-liners is.

Ironically, the Vulkan discord always complains about the bad support of Vulkan on mobile devices, and how OpenGL ES is still better supported.

> Personally, I would recommend WebGPU to people who want to get into graphics programming. Unfortunately WebGPU is like 5 years behind OpenGL 4.6, which is already 8 years old. WebGPU is pretty ancient.

WebGPU has the issue that feature/capability-wise it is essentially 5 years behind OpenGL 4.6, which came out 8 years ago. And the other downside being that it adopted old Vulkan concepts that even Vulkan started to ditch, like render

by m-schuetz 2mo ago
Vulkan is garbage. It's completely needlessly overengineered. Like, you literally have to write 50 lines of code just to allocate GPU memory, which is a one-liner in other APIs like CUDA. These 50 lines include things like heap type sh

Time. I have the time to maintain a single GUI. I do not have the time to maintain three GUIs. Of course they'll be 99% the same, but checking that this 1% difference behaves and looks fine accross systems adds a substantial amount of

They may care, however, if they get anything at all. I do not have the resources to target something to all platforms, so the alternative wouldn't be "Users get UI targeted towards their OS", the alternative would be "Us

by m-schuetz 3mo ago
The alternative is not that users get a UI specific for their OS, it is that users get nothing since I do not have the resources to develop for multiple systems. So yes, it is also an advantage to users.

I have better things to do than spend my time adopting UI for various different systems. If Electron gives me the option to easily create a UI that looks the same everywhere, then I'll pick Electron over anything else any day.

by m-schuetz 3mo ago
Consistency is the reason why Electron is great. Consistency of the UI across operating systems.

The map does not look plausible to me. I live in Vienna and spent quite a bit of time in the Netherlands. There is absolutely no way that Vienna scores better than Dutch cities when it comes to the question "Can you see three trees whe

I switched from Firefox to Chrome a couple of years back because Firefox always dragged its feet when it came to implementing important developer features. Like, DataView was excruciatingly slow in Firefox; WebGPU support didnt go anywhere;

I prefer windows over others because I'm used to it, but "offensive trash" is pretty fitting with the direction they're going. Windows has been severily enshittified in the past few years. I remember the windows search b

The feature that sold me was the domain block feature. Search results are so much better when they dont include SEO'd garbage, sites with entirely AI generated content, or userbenchmark.com

C/C++ is a perfectly fine term for C or C-style C++. The languages can be very close, and personally I prefer C-style C++ miles over some of the half-baked modern nonsense. I mean, I do use C++23 since it has some great additions, but

by m-schuetz 4mo ago
Search results are 80% SEO low-quality garbage nowadays. Very often, the sites even generate their content with AI. So for many use cases I stopped bothering with search and directly ask LLMs instead.

I still found it insane to display passwords that easily. Sometimes I give brief access to my PC to friends, family, acquaintances, or even colleagues, and they shouldn't be able to see my passwords with a simple button. It's like

For geometry, fixed-precision integers are better. But for computation and usability, floats are great. Scaling a 10 meter model in floats to 13% of the size is a trivial multiplication by 0.13f. With integers, this can get tricky. Can&#x27

Problem is, NVIDIA has so many quality of life features for developers. It's not easy getting especially smaller scale developers and academia to use other vendors that are 1) much more difficult to use while 2) also being slower and n
