We'll see. Taking away local control over land development is going to be controversial. A lot of rich and politically connected people are not going to like this. The last three decades in the west has been an endless series of victor

They’re unifying the architectures. AMD will move to UDNA for both gaming and data center. The next graphics cards after RDNA4 will be UDNA. Makes sense given how ML-heavy graphics has become.

Afaict TT only cares about dwell time and maybe if you comment or something. These dislike buttons do nothing. In fact, since they increase dwell time using them makes it more likely for such content to reappear in your feed than if you sim

Cool to see another project using Chisel. Anyone in the industry know what direction things are moving in? Seems like Verilog and VHDL are ripe for disruption. I remember one of them as outright unpleasant from university.

Compiling the chip, right, not the code?

Us it, though? I worked with it tangentially and found it deficient compared to Postgres. Why pay for a product that's worse than the best free product? In the old days there was a question of who to pay for support that was easier to

Financing. Germany doesn't have financiers with a "we'll figure out how to monetize it later" mindset. B2B is seen as safer that way than B2C.

LLM autocomplete is on an entirely different level. It's not comparable to traditional autocomplete and mostly does not even compete with traditional autocomplete. LLM autocomplete will sometimes write entire blocks of code for you, wi

I was one of the people that were really enthusiastic about Scala. But back then even as an enthusiast I had to admit Scala had a lot of drawbacks. Every bad thing inherited from Java, to start, and the leaky abstractions that forced, as we

I think Rust is a good fit for webdev, if you have programmers who already know or actively want to learn Rust, and if you don't need libraries not available for Rust. Admittedly those are some big caveats, but better latency and throu

I think we can all agree that whenever Rust comes up there's a high amount of "I like to program in C/C++ and don't plan to change, thankyouverymuch"-style comments. Was there a similar backlash against the rise of

Depends. Good models are big, and require a lot of memory. Even the 4090 doesn't have that much memory in an LLM context. So your GPU will be faster, but likely can't fit the big models.

wgpu would be awesome. Too little ML software out there is hardware-agnostic.

Just use the rust-lang org's regex crate. It's fascinating that you managed to pick one of like 3 high-level use-cases that are covered by official rust-lang crates.

Yes, basically. Someone who is a dependency maximalist (never write any code that can be replaced by a dependency) then you can easily end up with a thousand dependencies. I don't like things being that way, but others do. It's wo

A lot of capital investments only makes sense at scale, though. The machines are more productive when manned 24/7, and the machines are often more efficient the larger they become.

310 employees is not very small. Anyway, the sweet spot for company size depends on what the company does, as productivity gains in certain tasks can be bought through capital expenditure. Heavy industry is an obvious outlier on the bigger-

Small companies don't have spare people to allocate to contributing to government reports.

Any chance we might see Vulkan extensions to close this performance gap? Was really hoping Intel and AMD would team up to vreate an open standard that we could all have installed by default, but instead we get these clumsy vendor-specific s

Often, the market demand moves on from what the company is used to making, and institutional inertia makes it hard for it to respond to that change. Probably the most common reason. It's worth noting that big companies are simultaneous

Easy: If something is wrong with the physical gear it's OVH's problem rather than theirs. It also means no one has to ever go to the data center which is probably important for a geographically distributed team (I assume they are)

This is the core weakness and strength of the Forgotten Realms. It has everything but if you think about it nothing makes sense. Paizo did the same with Golarion, probably because they saw that the versatility of settings like FR more than

The Cypher system is definitively kinda shit. It’s easier to DM in some ways, but it’s just very unrefined, and badly in need of a 2nd edition subject to more playtesting.

The American market rules supreme. Any setting and/or ruleset popular with Americans will be able to afford much higher production values than its competitors. Those production values in turn attract non-American players.

Pretty much. It's all feel-good stuff. We cannot stop global warming unless the entire globe plays along. Individual action is completely nonsensical. Even action on a national level (in, say, Germany) hardly moves the needle and is mo
