I guess you and the other poster just have different standards. I've personally never found Ray Tracing to be worth the performance impact. I have a 3090 and a 7900 XT at home, on different computers. When opening a new game, I just ke

Depending on your access patterns, maybe you could have a hash table mapping entities ids to indexes in your SoA. Perhaps that's viable if looking up a single entity is not typical to your use case? > Which leads to my theory… I fee

PSA for anyone considering reading it: this article is full of LLMisms and was probably generated from a prompt. That being said, I agree with the premise. Most of those cultural preservation issues wouldn't be a problem if users had c

Assuming ordering isn't a concern, can't you just have a field called "removed" and skip those when iterating? Or swap it with the last monster, and keeping an index for the last monster alive.

> All of our releases thus far are source available, and will be open source 4 years from the release date. So, the current up-to date version is proprietary.

Note to others, since it wasn't obvious to me at first: their database is proprietary. Regarding the benchmarks themselves, they would've been more interesting with reproducible steps and more hardware variety.

While the tinkerer in me would love to, the pragmatic side of me cannot ignore the speed boost, specially for prototyping programs. If I write everything by hand, I know I'm leaving velocity or quality on the table. If I use LLMs, I ca

"Protected" is the wrong word. "Restricted" is much more honest regarding what Denovo does. Good riddance.

It does feel like a shift, and sometimes coordinated signaling. This post was at the top of this thread not long ago. Now it's all pro-age verification posts.

So if a social network tool does the exact same thing, but uses the user's own GPU or NPU to generate the content instead, suddenly it's fine?

So, if someone hosts an image editor as web app, are they liable if someone uses that editor to create CP? I honestly don't follow it. People creating nudes of others and using the Internet to distribute it can be sued for defamation,
