It seems like a pattern that Meta hardware usually sells relatively well, but then struggles with user retention. It happened with the Quest and so far it's happening with the glasses too. People like the idea of the products much more

It is pretty wide, but 288 cores with 8x FP32 lanes each is still only about a tenth of the lanes on an RTX 5090. GPUs are really, really, really wide.

The comedy option would be to use the new multi-memory feature to juggle a bunch of 32bit memories instead of a 64bit one, at the cost of your sanity.

Oof, that's unfortunate. I'm sure there's good reasons why WASM works like it does but the requirement for OOB to immediately abort the program seems rough for performance, as opposed to letting implementations handle it sile

Has anyone benchmarked 64bit memory on the current implementations? There's the potential for performance regressions there because they could exploit the larger address space of 64bit hosts to completely elide bounds checks when runni

There's a weapon in Final Fantasy 9 which can only be obtained by reaching a lategame area in less than 12 hours of play time, or 10 hours on the PAL version due to an oversight. Alternatively you can just leave the game running for tw

They do the same thing for Mario, Zelda, Link, Kirby, Donkey Kong, Pikachu and more. Are those also sinister wokeism or are you maybe reading too much into this?

If you're up for a project, you can swap the guts of those 5K iMacs for an aftermarket controller board which turns it into a regular monitor. It's a bit janky but a hell of a lot cheaper than buying a new 5K monitor.

3kb of RAM and 24kb of flash is a bit tight for Doom unfortunately. It has been ported to another Cortex-M0+ microcontroller, the RP2040, but that has 264kb of RAM plus megabytes of flash and the game still barely fits.

If you know of an example of GPL code being cleared for release on consoles I'd be interested to hear it because I'm not aware of any. The game Wrath: Aeon of Ruin was built on a fork of the Quake engine, but then they had to sp

The problem with forking IdTech is that it's GPL, which is a problem if you ever want to release your game on consoles. The vast majority of new Quake-inspired boomer shooters take the pragmatic approach and just use Unity or Unreal in

It feels like the new ultra-thin phones from Samsung and Apple were probably designed with this technology in mind, but for whatever reason it just didn't make the cut for their first generations. Instead they ended up having to ship p

You think a Cortex-M0+ in a disposable vape is wasteful, wait until you see the ones with colour touchscreens and Bluetooth radios. It's probably only a matter of time before they start running Android on them.

Doesn't that depend on the implementation? There's a trade-off between performance and determinism for sure, but if determinism is what you want then it should be possible.

Even when using forward+ style rendering it's still common for certain effects to get handed off to deferred passes, which precludes easily supporting MSAA anyway. For example the recent Doom and Call of Duty games use that hybrid appr
