Sort-of? They both compete in rendering, specifically for ArchVis. But otherwise they complement each other more than they compete. Likely why Epic is also a member of the Blender Development Fund.

I'm not sure I understand... Is obfuscating the CF a good thing?

I mean, If git's been around for ages by now, and this doesn't exist for even json + xml already and robustly, there must be some sort of problem?

Correct, Pixar is notorious for using fairly low detail SubD surface control cages for almost everything.

It's brought up in multiple other comments, so I won't bother going into detail, but the empirical testing, is flawed and is actually measuring changes in other details about thread launch behavior.

> GPUs at 1-2GHz to maximize power efficiency As a nit, they run at 1-2GHz to maximize thermal efficiency. high-end GPU's aren't really power efficient at all, they are built to maximize throughput while minimizing melting.

Yeah, please see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27898421 Having watched the video, I'm fairly certain what is being observed is not really tiled. I'm not however sure what a "tile-based immediate-mode r

It's been often quoted that Nvidia has switched to tile based for their Desktop renderers, but I haven't seen a source that confirms this. I suspect this is speculation due to changes in raster order that produce side-effects that

Those are going to require some serious citations. I'm quite sure most desktop GPUs don't run as tiled renderers at least under normal circumstances.

I don't think that's an accurate description... Fair use is a defense for cases of copyright infringement, which means you're starting of from a case of copyright infringement, which sort-of muckys up the whole "innocent

I think what the parent is stating is that even though the patent questions can have debate, once you settle the question "Is it Novel" as yes or no you can determine if the item is patentable... wheras for fair-use, the questions

awesome, I'm going to give this a try... One thing I notice, is this url is just given, without much context: ` https://hydra.nixos.org/build/142828023/download/1/nixos-sd-... ` But I (think I) know e

Ok, here is my problem... I’ve dabbled in NixOS, I have it installed in a second desktop under my desk, and occasionally use it for Linux tasks... Most of my Linux projects though have been doing stuff on raspberry pi or pine phone, or any

You can have the advantages of a publicly verifiable blockchain without the hassle of distributed consensus if you have a trusted entity that can perform consensus. QLDB is a corporate owned example, no reason the government can't do t

Well, the Cadillac of that category might be the Breville Smart Oven Air. In which case you might be missing out on a lot. Having said that, there are sometimes cases where the cheap item does the job perfectly well, and for you, the cheap

Looks neat, and similar to ddg's bang searches. I set ddg as my default search engine, and use it similarly, `!tw Joe Biden` in my Firefox search bar to search for tweets about Joe Biden and the like.

I’ve been using CapnProto, and while I like it, it certainly has a small community, and support can suffer due to that. I haven’t tried it, but have heard good thing about flatbuffers, and would def give that a second look if I were to mak

Honestly, I really like CFN, but raw templates are a bit of a disaster... Most of the rest of my infrastructure is powershell, so I acutally write the templates inline in Powershell something like this: New-AWSTemplate -Resources @{

Yeah, that seems like it would be on Backblaze, but this might not apply here, as 164.312 only applies to PHI, and it's quite likely that Backblaze will only sign a BAA for their B2 service, and not their standard backup service.

I mean the whole point is being small c++ libraries for rendering. CUDA sortof defeats the whole stated goal. Also Embree isn't really comparable to CUDA, Embree is libraries for BVH generation and traversal, CUDA is a language and too

Yeah, it’s technically supported, and I have seen the patient ship it in limited use. But it’s certinally not a well tested path and the stability leaves a lot to be desired.

No, that’s neither true nor “technically correct”. Services that the user provides health information to for their own purposes aren’t considered covered entities or their business associates, and thus HIPAA rules don’t apply. This is why D
