I think so: I couldn't even save 8192 x 5464 full res examples from the R5 with it: it wouldn't even do 8000, seems to be limited to the "film" 8k resolution which is a bit less.

I recently tried out HIEF and AVIF to try and save high resolution panorama images to, and discovered that AVIF currently doesn't support images > 8K, despite saving the resolution in 32-bit ints, which is a bit disappointing in 202

You can use various forms of projection mapping, i.e. triplanar projection or surface gradient projection... That way you only need point positions in the mesh, and no UV or normals. However, I think (at least in games: in VFX we go the oth

Yes. Many European countries, Canada, some Australian states/territories and New Zealand.

If you stopped DST, you'd surely have to also change things like school schedules as well to compensate for darker mornings? Studies (in both the US and Europe) have shown that DST improves road safety for both cars and pedestrians at

If it's the same as in the UK, Australia and NZ, then the rates are "fixed" for sub-durations within the overall length of the mortgage/home loan, and at the end of the sub-duration, you negotiate what the "fixed&qu

You'd probably convert it to bicubic patches or something, and then rasterise/ray-intersect those... I'm not really convinced curves are that useful as a modelling scheme for non-CAD/design stuff (i.e. games and VFX&#x2F

If you want to run compute on AMD GPU hardware on Linux, it does work - however it's not as portable as CUDA as you practically have to compile your code for every AMD GPU architecture, whereas with CUDA the nvidia drivers give you an

Doesn't std::unique only generally work on consecutive items, and effectively requires the items to already be in a container (or at the very least have access to iterators to the items)? If so, that sounds fairly limiting to me (i.e.

There may be contrived situations where std::map<T> is actually faster due to the operator < work being possibly cheaper than doing the full hash of the key, but that will only work if the key type is very well distributed early on

I agree too on the peak being 3.3 or so - I'm still using 3.3.2 on my Intel Linux machines - unfortunately on my main new AMD machine I had to move to newer versions due to core plugin crashes in older versions in order to get it to ru

Sometimes, but not always: it likely depends on the style of the map and how accurate it is as well I think, and maybe depends on people's perception: thanks to computer UI buttons from the 90s, it is common for upper and left-most sur

The newer Thinkpad keyboards are getting worse unfortunately: I have a T480S which I really like the keyboard of (other than the annoying positions of the pageup/down keys), but I tried the T14S Gen 3 and preferred the M1 MBP 14's

While it might not be fully-ready for games yet, you can see from the Blender GPU rendering benchmarks ( https://www.phoronix.com/review/blender-33-nvidia-amd ) that compare nvidia CUDA (no ray tracing hardware accelerat

Browsers have automatically done the "correct" thing (converting to "bot%20detection") under-the-hood for years in my experience. I remember MS FrontPage-made sites with spaces in the name and IE would work with them.

Are CSPRNGs as fast as general high-performance (and non-secure) PRNGs like MT, PGC or Xoroshiro256+? For many use cases in statistics / sampling / monte carlo simulations, you often need millions/billions of well-distributed
