You should put some boundaries around the types of problems you want people to solve. ‘World hunger’ and ‘peace in the middle east’ are obviously out of scope of a site like this, but you’ll get others that will fall into the ‘wicked probl

The Split View in edge does this, but it’s temperamental. Surprised this mode hasn’t taken off tbh.

I was thinking the same. It took 30 minutes to ‘several hours’ to produce 23 megapixel renders, which are 100MB max. Either the renders were heavily paging memory to disk, or OP was working at the compositing phase.

The paper mentions that the accretion disc was rendered in Houdini. It also mentions that ‘several hundred’ of their 1633 10-core, 156GB (weird number?) blade servers were used, but didn’t seem to go into details on data storage. Is it poss

Excellent work - a methodical review like this is exactly what I’ve been looking for in these sorts of open source solutions. I know it’s not the focus of a code review like this, but I’m interested to hear your views on the general supply

They’d have rigorous test harnesses, but you can’t really account for the complexities of a highly configurable platform like Windows.

I do have a cheap one, and hate it with an absolute passion. The problem is that it’s 30ft long making it an unwieldy thing to manoeuvre, and the wifi connection means I have to hold the phone at the same time. I’ll definitely just get a tr

They render a single frame though. Admittedly, so does video rendering.

“… evaluated 67,391 burrito-selling establishments…” How does this even work? If a local or federal government attempted to do this type of survey, they would end up having to pay McKinsey seven figures just to plan the whole operation..

It’s around 300 million light years away, so this technically occurred a long time ago in a galaxy far far away. With that in mind, I can imagine that millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.
