Lots of things are used for benchmarking. Very few are made with it in mind. Crysis' system requirements at launch were so far above what most people had that I'll give you that. Control wasn't that way at all.

These things go in cycles and predate Ryzen by a lot. The late-model Pentium 4 chips were overheating power-guzzling garbage compared to the Athlon XP, and the Athlon 64 was a serious competitor to the Core 2 series. Ryzen is the current

Best practice is to assume the network is compromised - a VPN doesn't provide as much guarantee as people would like. In large fleets, devices are regularly lost, damaged, retired, etc. In organizations with high target value, physic

How often are video game soundtracks created by well known artists? Especially without AAA studio resources? Have there been that many big names in the space? Nobuo Uematsu for JRPGs, Jeremy Soule, Yasunori Mitsuda....who else has done en

Writing markdown is decidedly not WYSIWIG. Storing documents with a WYSIWIG editor in a markdown-like format isn't viable either - look how frustrated word processor users get if changing one element repositions another ("all my p

A book is a credentialed source that can be referenced. A book is also something that not everyone may have on hand, so a pointer can be appreciated. LLMs are not that. If I wanted to know what they said I'd ask them. I'm asking

This is getting downvoted because it's ludicrous. Users want WYSIWIG - documents that are what appears on the printer page or when people they share the document to open it. "Interoperability" is something technical enthusias

There's a significant overlap between well educated technical minds who you want to do information work and people who want to live in a vibrant city. This isn't new and it shouldn't be shocking.
