Can you actually have proper tooling with templates based language? I think just like C++, how much effort goes into IDEs and still they are subpar. Because with templates, the code doesn't exist until you compile it, so at best you ca

I liked D1 more than D2 too. D1 felt to me like a native C#, D2 feels to me more like C++ with GC. And I feel like there's been a lot of effort to satisfy C++ programmers, who will never invest into D anyway because they don't lik

I hope some day D gets some WASM story going. Right now the support is very limited, pretty much only through the C subset of D which defeats the point. Supposedly the GC was the main issue, but other GC enabled languages are already thrivi

Interesting, I remember the speed skating issue being a problem in the copy I had back in the 1990s, but I don't remember the issues in other games like downhill and such. People usually find these gameplay based copy protections amusi

When it comes to things like cars and room interiors, neutral colors have a much better resale value because they appeal to people more widely. For cars, vibrant colors might mean higher insurance rates (red cars are associated with sports

I think a lot of the modern criticism towards E.T. the game comes from AVGN who was often using it in his skits as a game that shall not be named. But when he finally reviewed the game part of the AVGN movie, he admits that the game isn&#x2

In theory yes, but it also depends on the workload. RTX 4090 is ranking quite well on the power/performance scale. I'd rather have my card take 400W for 10 minutes to finish the job than take only 200W for 30 minutes.

Zig looks interesting, I just wish it had operator overloading. I don't really buy most of the arguments against operator overloading. A common argument is that with operator overloading you don't know what actually happens under

Is porn addiction a symptom or a cause? I feel like young men retreat to porn because they can't find a partner. The percentage of men who would prefer porn over a partner is probably very minor. I think the problem with men being sing

Access journalism has damaged reputation of many professional critics. When a new product is launched, e.g. a video game, people want reviews on launch date, they aren't willing to wait. The only way to have a review out on a launch da

If you were to design a GPU several years ago, people would probably tell you designing it for AI is crazy and cryptocurrencies and raw hashing power is where the money's at. In the end, Nvidia kind of got lucky with their bet on AI. W

Nothing generates more clicks and attention in press than a scary "OpenAI so powerful it's taking control" story. Also, it doesn't help that the training material for these AIs includes a lot of stories about AI breaking

I believe most successes of languages happen because of corporate backing and tooling/library ecosystem rather than language. It's not like most people are using Java because they are in love with the language features. Personally

Right now you can generate hundreds of realistic fake nudes of celebrity XYZ and no one cares. Celebrity XYZ accidentally leaks a nude photo from their phone and the entire world loses their mind. I think after the initial moral panic and o

Tools may be vendor specific but they're still portable. I use Intel GPA on my AMD card with no issues, I just don't get the extra counters and features Intel GPUs might get.

It's fun for goofing around. Imagine a conference call with your buddies and each one comes with a different deepfake. Kind of like a costume party but on camera.

On the other hand, if Intel is still committed to the AI business, it all hinges on the GPUs at the moment.

Many of the top influencers have offered a service where for a fee you can "chat" with them. When in reality you pay with an employee tasked with impersonating the influencer. Many of them are outsourcing this job to an AI, so tha

I don't know specifically about OpenCL, but the big thing about CUDA is that it's supported across operating systems and across the whole spectrum of NVidia GPUs. AMD has ROCm, but they have to be dragged kicking and screaming to

"approximately everyone knowing that eating too much sugar is bad for them" That's not really the case. For many people, if they know that too much sugar is bad for them, they think of sugar as in white sugar they add to the

I think for regular folks who just want to quickly generate something it may look like it. But for people who need precise control they will get it. Look at ControlNet extensions for StableDiffusion and imagine something like that but for 3

My understanding is that when "GOTO consider harmful" came out, the typical code flow was to put values into global variables, goto to some piece of code then goto back and continue. Nowadays we have functions with arguments and y

I like D. I just wish it didn't try to chase every trend. Rust has memory safety? Oh we'll add @live and @safe which will kind of implement some of that. Oh, no one wants to put 5 annotation on every function and most already writ
