Are you aware of the work that has been done with shaders to trace through depth maps in real time? http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.138... This shows relaxed cone mapping, which is a very elega

Again, I understand what they are doing very well. They noticed that colorization tends to track things in video. Of course colorization tracks to objects, it wouldn't work if it didn't. This is essentially automatic video image s

I realize that. They are for some reason saying they can track things with their colorization, when their colorization is extremely unimpressive as well as the tracking that results from using it. There is no reason colorization needs to ha

I'm very skeptical that there is any merit to the 'tracking' over other techniques, as well as the colorization being better than this 14 year old paper: http://webee.technion.ac.il/people/anat.levin&#x2F

Or we could work to make sure that traffic is always encrypted. Solving the ISP knowing who your packets are going to is more difficult, but no longer having clear data passing back and forth should have been a solved problem by now.

I would hate to see how bad they are at whatever comes second.

Nixon was forced to take the US fully off the gold standard since Charles De Gaulle was exchanging his treasuries for gold, exposing that the US could not keep it's dollar pegged to gold at the current price. This lead to significant i

When writing multi-threaded programs, data structures, etc. you have to make sure problems can't possibly happen - anything else and it's broken.

You seem awfully desperate to guess at the limitations of a technique you knew nothing about a day ago.

First, if it worked without intervention it could be used on desktop and mobile OSs, not just servers. Second, I already mentioned what you suggested.

If BOLT can work directly on binaries, is there anything stopping it from being integrated as a kernel module into the OS, so that binaries are continually being profiled and optimized? It seems to me that an optimized OS image could be als

I don't think that is true. Even without memory bandwidth constraints, jumping to instructions that aren't in cache is going to incur memory latency. If the instructions are all packed together, the next instructions could be pr

Can BOLT optimize a shared library as well?

The question I was replying to was about aliasing.

by AboutTheWhisles 8y ago
He did not say it causes aliasing, he said it is inviting aliasing. More resolution is going to be fine if the pixels are filtered well. If they aren't, that could certainly invite aliasing. Pixel filtering, especially in a scenario

It's practically a resume cover letter. People don't deserve to be told something is journalism when it is an advertisement. I'm not sure why you would even want to defend something like this, let alone be a lackey for some

How is it different from cable? One person can dig a trench and lay cable through a large yard in about two hours. This is essentially how cable tv and internet are hooked up.

> they have plans to hire 10,000 people here That's a lot of lawyers. Could this be a plan to shut down one place, open up the same jobs in another and shed people who have worked there for a while and have inflated salaries?

I think C++ classes and templates are incredible for data structures. In the java world, people try to make their entire program out of data structures, even complex data transformations, and unfortunately it ends up being a disastrous case

All H-1B salaries are public information, broken down by company and position. In a small to medium sized company you can narrow each entry down to a handful of people.

I thought the same thing, although I've tried LUT approaches to other problems like gauss curves and the results were much slower than I expected. The LUT may stay in the L2 cache, but whatever was going on, there was actually a big d

A lot of these were the recruiter having no understanding of what they were asking, but the bit counting is just nonsense. A lookup table requires an extra memory access that by its nature is incoherent. Contrast that to being able to read
