The compute shader side of Vulkan is actually fairly smooth compared to graphics. It's not really that different from low level CUDA or OpenCL. The Vulkan complexities overwhelmingly concern rasterization and raytracing.

The next presidential campaign should narrowly focus on the long term effects of existing policies if not corrected and direct blame with name dropping. There is no more moral high ground in this fight. The ugly needs to be pinned on the cu

Then publishing it in this incomplete state is just pointless fearmongering and will just make others fill in this information within the next couple of days. And the good guys likely won't be the first ones to do that.

OK, so this works on AMD Jaguar according to the README. That's a architecture from 2013. There's notes about Zen 3 having a different base address for the memory controller registers, but that's it. What newer CPUs does atta

Corporations are too complex for any single person to truly control. Attention of leadership necessarily dilutes with each additional layer of management. The result is this weird corporate chaos where nobody is completely in charge because

This is a sifferent point than what the thread started with (speed vs. correct output for hard problems). Yours stands, but it changed the direction of the discussion as I understand it. Hence the pushback.

Sorry, but this is just not a complex or hard task in image processing. Image resizing is a staple algorithm as common as bread and butter.

The discontent is real. The deficiencies these people mention are real. And it's not actually getting better. Sure, web devs and CRUD app devs may be screwed over a bit harder now, but when it gets into really deep complex stuff, the u

This is still rather basic stuff to be absolutely honest with you.

The FSF definition can be interpreted in absurd ways; a very uncharitable interpretation would classify any network stack connected to the internet as backdoor because random, potentially misdirected packages trigger code exécution on the t

Some of these offers may be part of visa or green card processes. Some require a labor market test in the form of a job ad and recorded response to it. If a suitable candidate applies, the visa/immigration process fails. Still, most co

For example, the VS Code menu bar is broken because the drop-downs clip against the window frame, not the screen edges. The reason is different in this case, though (electron).

Then continue to enjoy your broken popup menus and combo box drop downs, for starters.

Is it? The temptation to start without a thorough design is now much stronger because the implementation osnperceived to be cheap and easy to replace. But if you start building the wrong thing fast, you still get the right thing later than

That might be. I am not a history experts. I just wanted to counter the notion that that one October 1582 was the singular special month where the switch happened. That was not the case and calendars stayed messy until the 20th century beca

While providing this information to websites without user permission is probably a longstanding mistake of web browsers, windowing systems withholding proper on-screen positioning from native applications is a bug in that system - a bad one

This article presents a grossly simplified version of events. The truth is that only some catholic countries switched in 1582. Britain and its colonies switched in 1752. Prussia switched in 1610. And so on.

At least for native binaries it's not too hard to write a scanner that extracts symbols from the binaries and checks them against the symbol names of the vulnerable code. If the code is properly dead and got pruned by the linker, it ca

The success or value of a solution isn't measured by its quality, but by its utility to the customer. It's a harsh lesson for anyone who wants to build quality.

The naysayers aren't cooked at all. They have really, really good points that align with my own experience so perfectly It's eerie. Vine coding has a price tag attached that will have to be paid with interest eventually. The troub

Well, the US does have one of the outsized shares in the causes of climate change, which is now resulting in these heat waves in the northern hemisphere (US included). Don't throw stones when you're sitting in a glass house.

How can someone say they are "pro life" and at the same time believe this bizarre inhuman nonsense?

The existence of active shooter threats and especially their prevalence shows that the best protection - prevention - isn't working. And in the US, the best possible protection (strict gun ownership laws) is prevented based on an ideol

"Thoughts and prayers". It's always "thoughts and prayers" and invoking an inaginary "good guy with a gun". Can it get much more magical/mystical/performative than that?

You are ignoring the US and EU politics about regulating access to and distribution of and legal use of models. From my admittedly slightly limited perspective, it looks like China is politically more laid back about those developments tha

Did Russia or China already map out US AI data centers as nuclear first strike targets? The more these companies brag about "cyber capabilities", the more likely it becomes that ab adversary sees a need to take those capabilities

Approaches to stylisation different a lot. Feature animation works a lot with physically correct rendering as a starting point, for example. But when a hyper stylized look is the goal, approaches start to differ a lot. For example, algorith

AO is derived from full GI with some extremely crude approximations. Anything that simulates full GI more accurately is implicitly a more physically accurate replacement of AO. Still, AO is not dead because it is still a rather simple and c

One theme that is common to almost all visual art that strives for some form of realistic appearance is that they start out with real material appearances and physical lighting behavior. Both are inescapable parts of the reality in our phys
