A similar note that gave me pause. (I eventually pulled the trigger and bought a model 3 but it took me a looong time.) - I want to be able to hook up a small, efficient generator, maybe as a back-mounted module. But Teslas can't be ch

I mean, that page only describes ABI differences. I was thinking I would find ARM architecture differences in the silicon. I understand that the ABI is considered part of the specification for 64-bit ARM silicon.

Piling on the speculation, the dynamic power draw when raytracing was enabled, especially the memory access patterns - and the poor performance in spite of the increased power draw - might have been the final blow. But if an entire h/w

Reduction in e-waste and reduction in forced obsolescence: the more open this secure element is, the more it sets a standard. Then that creates a robust ecosystem around it. (For example, see the Raspberry Pi which helped spur an ecosystem.

Blender gets a small shout out at the end, for completeness. In my opinion Godot and Blender are symptomatic of the future, and also need healthy competitors.

Vulkan adds new features by first adding an extension for the feature. Then a later version of "mainline Vulkan" will upgrade those optional extensions to include them in the non-optional API. Even then, the feature underneath it

Serious and thoughtful question here, since this may sound flippant - Could the Apple ecosystem of devices be the factor that enables the distribution of market caps? (Very interesting point, by the way) I wonder if it explains the somewhat

JDK-8180450 is probably affecting my performance as well. https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8180450 Hopefully with a client as large as this, it gets addressed.

I see the sibling comment, so here's my two cents - I wonder if there's some confusion because LinuxBoot is being talked about relative to Oxide. LinuxBoot isn't trying to do that. It was originally a project called "Lin

I would guess it's probably physics. Specifically the complexity of the signal path routing for the predictor core must be pretty heavily optimized, and probably are where AMD (and Intel) have invested heavily in advanced design softwa

In all fairness, a forum thread would collect a bunch of anecdata but is not an official way to request a sale. If the Raspberri Pi foundation doesn't want to sell you their product, there's no way you can force them to sell you o

Just hypothetical 3D curved spaces here, not saying this has any physical reality - If the X axis curves into Y (i.e. wraps around the Z axis) and also has a slight negative Z component (i.e. to move in a helical fashioin) each of those cur

I'm going to skip the more philosophical part of your question. Or in other words, if you're asking, "is there any observable evidence of something outside the observable universe?" My answer is: no comment at this time.

Nah, nobody writes raw Vulkan for every new implementation. It'll show up somewhere and then everyone will copy/paste it. Or github copilot it - which is the same thing...

I'm pretty excited as well. This is another big step away from legacy hardware that implemented the OpenGL 1.0 API in the hardware. In case that sounds judgmental, it was awesome back in the 3dfx Voodoo days to have this kind of hardwa
