Good stuff. If that excites you, check out Roslyn source generators too.

The ratings are really all over the place. Jshell is a 6/10? What is the rubric?

The weight means diminishing returns, which makes it even more expensive. If you cut the weight, you do get a cost reduction.

"Windows' <integrated VM> for Linux" makes some sense.

You're saying a periodic VRR stutter is a shader compiler issue?

Imagine living in a reality where the studio exec picks the engine based on getting screenshots 3 years later when there's something interesting to show. I mean, are you actually talking from experience at all here? It's really mo

There's likely still room to go super wide with CPU cores and much more ram but everyone is talking about neutral nets so that's what the press release is about.

I think this is probably on the docket. Epic seems to be in a push to offload a lot of animation work to more cores. The industry is going that way and that was a big topic at their last conference.

Ratchet and Clank is a good one too.

Looks different. But for quick previs before the bake, this is done.

Devs get paid either way, consumers just pay for more dev waiting instead of more game.

I don't know, I think it's conceivable that you could get much much better results from a custom upscale per game. You can give much more input than a single low res frame. You could throw in motion vectors, scene depth, scene nor

They're both great engines. They're popular and gamers will lash out at any popular target. If it was so simple to bootstrap an engine no one would pay the percentage points to Unity and Epic. The reality is the quality bar is in

You still don't get it. It's just not possible to ship a precompilation of every shader permutation for every supported hardware permutation.

by jayd16 1y ago
You know the hardware for console so you can ship precompiled shaders. Can't do that for PC so you either have long first runs or stutter for JIT shader compiles.

It doesn't change the geometry, it just changes the lighting to give that appearance.

This assumes a static market but higher energy density means more range and more use cases, right?

Agreed. It exemplifies what parallelism is on the table but also how many more guarantees need to be enforced to get it. You're almost swinging the pendulum back to a fixed pipeline and I don't think you can get that for free.

Sure there's work you can throw into ECS but its a paradigm shift that is not implicit and also highlights how much doesn't work.

I guess you can argue that instruction reordering, SMT/Hyper-threading are already eating the easy wins there. And as you said, it seems like the gains taper off at 2x. I'm not sure why games would be a good target. They're

Yeah but they're a crappy shape for A LOT of tasks. It's not ideal but it's a versatile solution.

Can we just slap some arms on a washer/dryer combo unit if we think that'll work? We skip having to design bi-pedal balance, increase the power envelope, and greatly reduce scope and cost. Surely there's a market for an appl

Talking about the thinness of a humanoid, maid robot is pretty hilarious.

I'd watch that game show.

There have always been things that sucked. The difference, in my mind, is that we now dismiss the idea quality ever existed, an impossible hypothetical.

What part of that is inconsistent with what I said? Over a long period of time, including 20 years ago, the trajectory of cultural value has been going from consistency to usually acceptable but at least it's cheap. It wasn't sta

20 years ago, you could consistently pick up a phone, get a dial tone, and then call a human to solve a problem. Sure, plenty of stuff didn't work. The issue is we're not bothering to make anything that does. It's a clear c

That's $3M down but what's the likely upside? Is it a net gain?

This comment feels pretty high emotion for how much it didn't seem to actually read what was written.
