Hint: The new models are really good at burning tokens. I've had to use it a bit for work, and it's been remarkable watching the degradation in performance with the default suggested current models (Opus 5 as a prime example) vs t

Yeah, data layout/cache aware layouts are really key if you really want to unlock making something that ends up in a hot loop fast with SIMD. Also, avoiding allocations or vtable lookups or a lot of indirection in the part of the code

Can you cite any information on this not being possible for the vast majority? Or is it simply that the correct prompt hasn't been written for all possible cases? I also fail to see the difference if logic/harnessing is added arou

In what universe would a sane person allow any LLM or remote calling software access to their user folder with sensitive data in it? I swear, people hear the word LLM and their brain resets when it comes to good software practices. Did VMs

Yeah, EA open sourced their STL, although now that C++23 is supported (aside from on MSVC? Still not flat_map there?!?) there is some replication in the STL. Not uncommon for audio companies to also write their own containers and internal S

Who cares if it crashes? The users. We can all agree it's not medical systems, but audio DSP and game dev both end up rewriting a lot of STL stuff to suit their needs, and often using a restricted subset of modern C++ features for simi

It depends what you want to get out of it, and what you think art itself really is. If it's nothing but an end product, that needs to fit a specific aesthetic, with a specific sound, then I probably agree. AI is making that "point

This works for simple apps, utilities, and demos/mvps. Not great for actual applications. What about when you're embedding your GUI into an existing application? or for use on an already taxed system? (Audio plugins come to mind)

Yeah, it's a decent rubber duck. As soon as it starts trying to write actual code or generate a bunch of files it's less than helpful very quickly. Perhaps I haven't tried enough, but I'm entirely unsold on this for anyt

I can definitely say I wouldn't know half of what I do and probably wouldn't have kept at it with writing GLSL and learning more about how GPUs really work without a lot of his freely shared knowledge over the years. His articles

Who wants to rent? I have money, give me a file for money. DRM is laughable anyway, if you give me the data I have the file if I really want it. Let me, the consumer, legally purchase a high res copy of media I can own. Why is this so hard?

Video games too. Try to buy Need For Speed Most Wanted (2005). You can't.

Not agreeing with either side here, but, printing money and handing it to an investment class who then launders it through their companies, to acquire more assets vs printing money that goes into infrastructure, works projects, or R&D a

To sum this up a bit: Harmonic distortion is well accepted, unless done to an extreme amount. What people seem to struggle with most is intermodulation distortion, cross modulation, etc. If you ever want to hear a guitar sound as rich as a

There definitely are. I don't see anything touching most of the telemetry here, cortana, etc. This looks like a basic default apps store uninstall and not much else.

Yeah, if they'd messaged this release as a significant architecture change (that will be more significant over time, and in specific cases, like anything actually using a 512-bit data pipeline) and an efficiency gain they wouldn't

This is an odd critique. Many interpreted languages consume easily upwards of 50x the energy at runtime...

Why not run a filesystem that maintains this? (ZFS exists, storage is cheap)

Seen some audio engines that do this too. You can come up with an elegant non-blocking lock free allocator and pass updates from the user thread out to system and reserve the memory, or you can just up front allocate everything that's

Vinyl off gasses and isn't suitable for use in internal air spaces.

Yeah, remote work should really be required for jobs that can do it. That's a lot more reasonable of an immediate achievable climate action.

Hey, This doesn't ban ships. Just saying. Not saying I agree or disagree, but you're acting like limiting air travel would stop travel.

Ever heard of pine beetles? Looked into what causes them to survive winters that used to control the population? Seen the effects they have on tree populations and the health of forests?

Intel removed AVX512 from their recent consumer chips, no?

I haven't looked into the code for these but are they possibly pipelining multiple ops per clock? If it's not dependency chained they probably calculate a few cycles at once.

I've also run into this thinking, and have been looking to solve it in codebases I'm working on. I've run across: https://github.com/aff3ct/MIPP but have not worked with it extensively yet. It looks to b
