I think the point of the article is that the science supports the fact that there are sex differences in the brain. Ideas that the article does not propose include: - Men are better than Women or vice versa. - Men are better suited to X act

Also totally happy with my 2016 MBP, keyboard and all.

In general, when modelling reality (either for games or offline simulation/rendering) developers are focused on techniques that have a significant impact on the perceived realism of the result while also offering the possibility of an

It's also bad if you drop your ASP to the point it hits profits though.

When you say the machines are too costly, who are you implying that's bad for? Presumably not investors?

So is it the case that the compatibilist imagines three possible classes of decision. 1) Where the decision is coerced. 2) Where the decision is not coerced and so ostensibly 'free' but determined by external factors (ie. the laws

So it seems the crux of the matter is how we regard the process of a person making a decision. A compatibilist would say that for the purposes of discussion we describe this event as the exercising of will, even though from a physics perspe

Could someone with better understanding explain compatibalism to me? I’m struggling to grasp how it can allow for both determinism and free will.

I'm not sure configuring a Linux distro to work better really counts as 'hacking' either though.

Same, I love the keyboard on mine. The older keyboards feel mushy in comparison, I enjoy the solid click I get with the new design.

They already own large cpu only render farms. Production render scenes commonly require upwards of 64Gb of memory for texture and geometry caching. It is used in some niches, and there are efforts to leverage both for interactive rendering

I like thin. When I pick up my gf's previous gen MBP it feels heavy and bulky. I imagine that's also what the majority of the market feels, hence Apple's design choices.

Exactly. It's rather hard to estimate the probability of an event for which there is only one known example.

I'm also a Houdini user and a realtime DAW with the flexibility of Houdini for creating tools and creating relationships between parameters would be a dream come true!

Yes, exactly. If you're creating electronic music then the key aspect is how you modify the sound over time, so a flexible modulation system is crucial.

by MrScruff 9y ago
I'm really not interested in a flat UI from Ableton, this looks cluttered to me. What I want is proper modulation system, rather than the hacks you currently have to go through with Max for Live to achieve a result.

I can't speak for everyone, but for me there's a big difference from wanting to know everything about the computer and needing to, particularly when I'm not at work.

I treat Adam Curtis (or any other documentary maker) as a source of ideas for further research, but with a heavy pinch of salt. His work is designed to ping the same sense of delight in being party to a secret that motivates conspiracy theo

The web is supposed to be a universal platform. It doesn't make much sense to limit a feature to the subsection of web users who install graphics drivers.

Shipping WebGL is not the same as shipping OpenGL support, which they don't do. WebGL on Windows browsers is built on DirectX. Apple ship a WebGL enabled browser.

by MrScruff 10y ago
Intel doesn't have a production quality Vulcan driver as of now. Considering that browsers implemented WebGL on top of DirectX, why would it be any different for a proposed new API? In which case it's reasonable to at least have a

It runs in a web browser sitting on top of different underlying apis though. Which is basically what's being suggest here.

The proposal in this case appears to be coming from the safari group rather than the metal one. Even if that weren't the case, for a standard to be a success then pragmatism is more useful than idealism. Telling the maintainers of most

But isn't the Vulcan situation on windows similar to the OpenGL one? You need to install drivers... In which case won't browser makers target directx anyway, as they have with webgl?

by MrScruff 10y ago
It makes no sense to judge the quality of an API by the power of the available hardware it might be running on. The discussion is not about what platform will run VR the best. In addition, Apple will be rightly considering iOS when evaluati

In my opinion it's a niche because it's an expensive product aimed at illustrators. One of the main features is the pivoting stand that lets you use it like a drafting table. It's cool and all but why would someone who doesn&
