The reason they dominate at PPW, is because they are on TSMCs 5nm process. No one else has made a cpu chip on this process yet. AMD are scheduled for later this year (they are currently using 7nm). It will be interesting to see the differen

The problem is that N7 process, is from 2018. thats 4 years that TSMC have been developing their N6, N5, N4, N3 processes. N5 (which Apple uses), was late 2019 with the A14 processor with AMD starting to jump in this year with it. N3 should

Yep. Used heavily for editing works, colour grading works for tv / film, sound works. Pretty much anything professional, they will discard what the GPU is doing (and inbuilt audio) and use these sorts of external devices. This way, you

This is the thing, i hate their new ui... and if ever they get rid of their 'old' ui I would leave reddit. Their "New UI" was brought in in 2018, and to me was like a digg moment. To me, Hackernews is what Reddit was 10

I believe if you are definetly moving the camera in a 'robotic' way and predictable way, using a tool like PTGui and their Align to Grid function, will help for those shots which dont have distinct features.

Cycles X, is essentially a rewrite of Cycles. Cycles-X no longer exists as it has been merged back into cycles. Crazy performance gains!

it probably is a lot of 1). Right now, Cycles does not have any GPU acceleration on Mac. Windows and linux its fine, but mac is very limited. Having a group of people, even if its a small number, be vocal about avoiding their computers and

The other advantage is if you are working with other industrial design people (for stuff such as roads / bridges / buildings)... Having it all spatiall mapped correct to each other makes life SO much easier (and more realistic). I

For those looking for a RPI Smart Home Hub Software that supports a lot of different IOT devices, look into Home Assistant - https://www.home-assistant.io/ . It supports Zigbee & ZWave (as well as most major IOT brands)

The thing is, that this can work alongside humans. say you have 5 people bricklaying and one of those is this humanoid robot. its not a dramatic change from whats currently possible. They are a drop-in replacement. Think of it as a stepping

If you are working in 3D... it is trivial to output 3 different videos compared to one. All it takes is a bit of time to animate each camera and boom, you have 3 different videos all record it from different perspectives.

by greenknight 5y ago
Though that being said, it would be great to be like hey google, ill do the conversions for you! but then they would have to trust that the bitrate isnt too high / not going to crash their servers etc.etc.etc.

Imagine someone using a 10 year old computer to upload a 1 hour video. not only do they need to transcode to multiple different resolutions, but also codecs. This would not practical from a business / client relationship. They want the

essentially yes, and even then with the current level of thickness, they coudlnt fit the power supply (or an ethernet port) inside the imac itself.

Also remember that AMD had Jim Keller back in the day, for an integrated ARM / x86 CPU. They have done a lot of R&D already to date, not something recent!

Correct, back in those days digital photos on a phone were also non-existant, which would have made the many pages to transfer everything so much more convienent. Golden Sun also had a feature where you could put your GS1 game into sleep (a

Oh, i signed up but didnt see the small disclaimer. Having a cross platform product would be super powerful, as we are using Linux and Windows machines for our heavy lifting, only dealing with Macs for exporting to Prores formats.

One thing you havent mentioned in that the Zen 3 processor, is on the 7nm process from TSMC, whereas the M1 is on the 5nm process.
