see, when I say something reminds me of something else I don't mean a one-to-one equivalence at every aspect one can think of. anyhoo, it's always a great skill to review the state-of-the-art BEFORE investing in a work/write-

as gamers, we got burnt by nvidia way too many times. I'm still holding grudge over shutting down 3dfx.

M6 and M5 Ultra both have comparable memory bandwidth per GPU core. I think they will perform well.

no free lunch for a given process node I guess. It's using TSMC’s 3nm N3P.

we could have ended planned obsolescence decades ago if we put strong policies in place. I would really like a systemic solution instead of every-man-for-himself vibe coding. I've been following the "stop killing games" movem

arguing that the application of the law was as expected to people who point out how unjust the expected application of the law is is pointless. ideally, we would see a stronger legal reaction to the biggest IP heist in history but clearly i

I'm mostly taken aback all the solutions devised to go around the issue, especially the container-based ones. I really disliked it when I grabbed the flatpak version of Blender only to find out that it can't have HIP support. (the

according to appimage recommendations as long as you build against glibc with an earlier version than the system it's run on it should be fine. https://docs.appimage.org/reference/best-practices.html I hear you ab

One big aspect that made Bezier popular was local support, i.e. moving control points resulted in expected changes in the same direction. It's interesting that this is the result of a search for 'a curve family better suited for i

It's a useful figure in that it shows how fast an industry, which shouldn't exist, grows: "Swindle said that CoreCivic's total revenue went up by just over 27% this spring compared to the same quarter last year, for a to

I get the consumers' ick when I see an AI-generated menu, logo, or sign as much as the next person. Beyond that, there is an argument to be made about the discrepancy between the pictorial depictions of a food item and what you are act

we have already gone through multiple cycles of remote and edge compute (mainframe to pc, pc to cloud, cloud to phone). as the software/hardware landscape changes, the economics of what can be run on what device will change accordingly

if you look at how GPU memory grew in the last 15 years, it's about 10x. Sadly, 10x from today doesn't get us to a typical frontier model size of today which is a quickly moving target. some other advancement needs to happen to ge

I'd like to pick on the word 'invisible': if the user can get into a flow state with a tool where work becomes the major focus. I can argue that you can get into that state with any tool with enough practice. And sometimes th

politics being the inflammatory topic for you or not, you seem to seek a particular type of comment section that only includes the information you are personally interested in and nothing else (garbage as you put it). imho, it's an unr

From the June 4th article: "These patches are a result of a collaboration between a couple of Qualcomm engineers taking part in an internal sprint and were created over 3 days." it's not giving me any warm and fuzzy.

I'm just guessing here but similar to a CAT scan, having actuators/probes at all angles could mean you can get an image around such obstacles. skull is probably an exception and it's the reason why we don't see any head

Massive fumble imho. I'm still sad about the SGU cancellation. It had so much potential for the third season. If Amazon won't commit to a new Stargate show it should at least release it for others to do so. Currently, it's ke

Same. The third season was great and left me wanting for more. Alas.
