From a mature architecture to another, versus going to a "pretty much only used on embedded devices" arch? Yeah, they really have got their work cut out for themselves!

It's impressive, but still ways to go. Impressive nonetheless.

Most likely. Let's not kid ourselves, there would be more players sharing those if they felt it was worth it.

Bandwidth means much less if those numbers aren't crunched faster.

Yes, the tiled-based architecture of their "GPU" is undeniably less performant. Even comparing to lesser GPUs.

These are not low/mid tier machines when talking about "consumer-grade".

Sure, but there was a new generation of consoles in the meantime. The example I gave of Shader Model 3.0 had to do with the same thing, new consoles appeared. The real culprit here was the chip shortage, cryptocurrency bubble bursting, risi

Most certainly, yes.

That GPU came out almost 7 years ago, it's only natural its lack of modern features starts being apparent. I still remember not being able to run new games once Shader Model 3 became standard, it's sad but what can you do?

It's more... about the user having that control, not the service provider. I would wager it would still work all the same. Perhaps, some websites would stop being so hostile if they were considered as such and blocked by a higher perce

I was arguing against the idea of only being used in "sundry small other specialized business applications". So much of computing is still about being chained to a chair and table, using an ill designed keyboard layout, with a poi

The military just gave the go ahead to Microsoft to continue developing their HoloLens. I would say it's a fairly big player on this.

With Apple joining in on the space, Valve being there for ages, and Microsoft's being reborn from the dead [1]... one wonders what's this whole thing against VR/AR applications. [1] https://www.theverge.com/20

It doesn't need to be about money. Think about research. They do a lot of it. And honestly? They seem quite more open about it.

Oh, thanks for the insight! Hopefully that feature will get through!

Your remark on buses being hampered by sharing the road with cars is on point. I've lived in Porto, and Malmö. Both have done considerable efforts in making certain roads or lanes exclusive to public transportation. In Porto, for examp

The constraints on autonomous public transport systems make them viable. You create a safer system that way. Additionally, you prevent unnecessary work getting multiple vehicles to the same location roughly at the same timeframe. I understa

I'm surprised that Mastodon doean't provide a RSS feed itself? Other Fediverse platforms seem to do that. Maybe the author wanted more fine control, but still, it would make its solution a bit easier.

Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't notice that extremely important part. That is... more than kafkaesque. I thought the conversation was around marketing, not user posts.

There needs to be a line drawn from those who service a large number of people, and those who don't. Either way, only those who are big enough can be actively monitored and accounted for. Before the obvious argument "where do you

Very much true. Marketing content should be carefully vetted, filtered. Whom you wish to project that content for may want to take back control from addictions they suffer from (i.e. food).

From a human-computer interaction standpoint you do raise a fair point. Even if in reality the AI misses _considerably more_ than that, there's a good argument to be made that such hints may steer the human from their initial, correct

It seems quite a well positioned university. This dismissal seems unwaranted.

It seems strange to me how BlueSky chose to implement an entirely different protocol when ActivityPub exists. My assumption for this was "for privacy". As in, not being completely public. Looking at their FAQ, they state that acc

Correct me if I'm wrong, but O.MG Cables do allow to circumvent these phone defaults, don't they?

Well, Iceland is... ironically, always of "fire" though. Geothermally speaking.

If one has a reasonable understanding of 2 concepts that make up a larger system. And, such a system has little else in addition to those concepts, one is able to come up with that system by itself. Even though, it has never seen it, or the

Yeah, the blog author should fix the license. Not ok at all. This is not the case of zero knowledge reverse engineering or something on those lines even.
