Picking up a game engine without prior knowledge and making something on your free time, I assume that would be the aim.

This is stepping over the line, I'm not even arguing over piracy. The real issue is having the infrastructure in place to control media. It's concerning this is even attempted to begin with.

Try to use the runfile provided by Nvidia and use DKMS. The biggest issue is just that flatpaks aren't really updated for CUDA drivers, but you can just not use them if your distro isn't old or niche.

I suppose it comes down to ROCm support. https://docs.amd.com/en/docs-5.7.1/release/windows_support.h...

For me, my Valve Index has completely changed how I do 3D modelling, I suppose this would do the same for many people. We programmers are quite the outsiders, and sometimes its hard for us to understand how others see computers. It's b

This reminded me of a conversation with a historian. He requested the reconstruction of a monument in France that a game studio had already made. The studio told him the model was their property, and they wouldn't share it. Peculiar re

It'll, even if they guard their secret sauce. Let's not be naive about this, obfuscation is and always will be a minor nuisance.

Could you go a bit in more depth on what those features are? I thought it was comparable to what others are doing, but take that as a lack of knowledge on my part.

Wholeheartedly agree with your conclusion! Thankfully we're seeing a shift to more nuanced skeuomorphism called neuomorphism.

From an empirical assessment, volume has gotten bigger. Part of it stems from the devices getting bigger as well. However, I would wager energy density hasn't improved as much as the increase in volume, given that devices got bigger fi

Their OneAPI is really interesting!

To be fair, if anything, that table still shows you'll have compatibility with at least 3 major releases. Either way, I agree their strategy is getting results, it just takes time. I do prefer their open source commitment, I just hope

Given the current geopolitical landscape, I'm not sure it's utility is overall positive. Now, I'm myself torn on this, but I wonder.

Microsoft only managed to sell 140k Xbox Ones in Japan. Just throwing a comparison.

True understanding will always topple these attempts at brute forcing our way through, but here we are. I really think we should focus on the science first, as you've hinted at, and these desperate pursuits for compute are making that

How is Counter Strike small? It has consistently 1.5 million daily players. It's about the same as Fortnite.

This makes me think the musl people are right. Glibc is quite a large attack surface.

One shot CI keys. I guess I shouldn't have used that term, it certainly is more work that doing otherwise. Nevertheless, their advantages offer nothing of value in this context. At least, I think so. Correct me if I'm wrong.

It's a recall, just one that you don't need to go to a dealer for. I understand your point, but it is still a recall.

No established GNU/Linux distribution is going to half ass GPG signing as you've implied.

Yeah, I just randomize mine and keep all of that local. It's a bit strange seeing people doing the same, but over the wire though.

Early access for planes. The next step in commercial aviation. Feel the thrill of life threatening bugs!

Didn't know about your second point, makes sense

In a tangential but related topic, you can improve floating point arithmetic precision by varying bases :)

Are there any advantages to this besides being the convention? Always wondered that.

I hope those get more mature and stable, I do have one but it's kind of a mess to have things not break on you. Updates corruption and all. This is on the Pinephone Pro btw.

Well, it's important to make the distinction between the Play Store and Google Services (the software). Plenty of things _depend_ on Google Services, some of them you have no option, like bank apps. It's true however that you can
