While I agree that this setup is not very good, the EU Commission is essentially the equivalent of a government in a parliamentary or presidential democracy, and almost all such democracies I know about either have or have developed "w

Indeed, I find quite ironic that some people in tech in the US complain about EU "regulations first" approach, but then their government seem to arbitrarily stop things from being released because, well, there is no established po

Oddly, the website lists "M4 Ultra" which however does not exist... Also, it does not account for Apple Silicon chips to have up to 512GB of memory in some cases, but that might be only a limitation of the gathered data.

There is no real difference between "Ray Tracing" and "Path Tracing", or better, the former is just the operation of intersecting a ray with a scene (and not a rendering technique), the latter is a way to solve the integ

Living in the UK but being from another EU country, I definitely see that happening. However, a lot of times it is just due to habits, wrongly-placed mistrust, or not being well settled-in yet because, at the end of the day, there are eg. b

I always thought linking all the main things not working in the actual world to the alienation caused by too much digital consumption to be wrong/not really making sense. However, gradually, I am getting closer and closer to that concl

His take was not really "novel" however, John McCarthy said basically the same thing multiple times in the 90s and maybe even 80s? He would say something along the lines of "If we ever get to an algorithm that expresses gener

I am not an expert on geometry processing pipelines, however Mesh Shaders are specced differently from GS, essentially one of the big problems with GS is that it's basically impossible for the HW, even after all the render state is set

I am looking at solving this challenge in a specific way: using high-perf, GPU-accelerated HW simulators and ML algorithms to tune a new HW architecture automatically. Best ML HW => run on it the best ML models => produce new best HW

I have always been fascinated by the problem of quantum gravity but, well, it somehow happened "too late", after I got also very deeply into "computing" (mostly HPC, GPGPU, rendering). Does anybody know if there is a way

Metal is a modern - and under many points of view, pretty good - rendering API that allows you, for example, to declare the rendering pipelines/dispatches fully without you having to call multiple "change_state" in your CPU c
