Skeletal animation was borked and pulled from 4.0 during beta: https://godotengine.org/article/dev-snapshot-godot-4-0-beta-... They're working on it and plan to bring it back in 4.x.

There are 4 freezes[1]... the soft freeze (the current one) basically freezes which packages will be in the release and the hard freeze (the next one) gets everything stabilized. [1] https://release.debian.org/testing/f

The legacy OpenCL implementation doesn't support modern AMD (at least since RDNA) cards. RustICL seems to be the path forward but it's still a work-in-progress for AMD.

It all depends on how far you're willing to go. If you merely object to Apple's iron fist approach, you've got Windows for desktop/laptop and Android for mobile. For some of us, that's not good enough and so we op

Because as more attention/money goes to other tech ecosystems, it weakens their position in the market. The computing world used to revolve around Windows/Office, now it's increasingly a tangential legacy player. It used to

I think Google internally has a different perception as to the quality of their services vs. the general public and especially tech enthusiasts. Your comment about 'a certain mindset' reminds me that I still[1] have to do exactly

Not necessarily. The big issue they've got to overcome is hallucination. If they can do that, these LLMs will have some staying power in providing search responses. If not, they'll still be useful creative tools. Another possib

With the exception of drivers (currently), yes. But almost everything that exists is targeting developers and server infrastructure. If open source graphics infrastructure were in such a state, no one would even be running a GUI desktop o

That's fair push back. I absolutely get that re: no centralized control/decision making. However, places like FOSDEM are where I've seen people raising community awareness on larger issues like this in the past. So I just

Inference is much more common than training just as using a word processor is much more common than writing one. Even from a training standpoint, there are a lot of interesting things you can do with DNN models that aren't at the larg

I count two talks that appeared to discuss machine learning which is better than nothing. But it is a bit sad to see that machine learning, and GPU compute more generally, is yet again practically nonexistent at a major FOSS conference. I

It's a similar reaction that Intel supporters had when it was clear AMD had become a credible threat. There were claims that Intel had 1-2 unreleased CPU architectures just ready to drop at a moments notice to counter anything AMD cam

Probably not overtake from a market share standpoint, but they could definitely get a much bigger slice. It looks like Bing is somewhere in the 3-4% market share range currently. So if they could get to even 15-20% over the next couple ye

It's corporate-speak for 'we're not letting the threat going unanswered' without actually delivering anything yet. It's mostly a placeholder for shareholders and especially the media to move the story away from &#x

It was just about Google Play policies from 2016-2021. App Developers get a pro rata share of the settlement fund based on the commissions they paid Google during that period. It's basically a partial return of commissions over 15%.

For the larger channels such as LTT, the YouTube ad revenue is likely approaching rounding error compared to their sponsorship/merch/platform revenue.

Whisper has done extremely well for me with a number of challenging audio transcriptions: background noise, heavy accents, music playing... you name it.

It can only interpolate, not extrapolate. So the 'new' things you're seeing are just rearrangements of the (millions/billions of) things that the DNN was trained on. It has no understanding of what it has 'learned

Depending on the age of the devices in question, 'simply' may not accurately reflect the solution as Android vendors generally stop updating devices as soon as they can get away with it, security issue or otherwise. Unless these

Google's reputation is, and has been for years, so bad on this front that most of their initiatives are stillborn for this reason pretty much from the day they are announced. Three years ago we had this regarding Stadia: https:/
