You're looking at constructs mostly related to C++26 reflection. It's very new, so that might be why it looks like it's from a different planet. They necessarily had to invent some new syntax for it. I think C++26's refl

Just a heads up - it looks like the "Path Tracing Off" shots have ray tracing disabled as well. In the shots starting at 1:22 (the car and then the plaza), it looks like they just have the base screenspace reflections enabled. Pat

I don't get where the author is coming from with the idea that a diffusion based LLM would hallucinate less. > dLLMs can generate certain important portions first, validate it, and then continue the rest of the generation. If you pa

I'm sad to see this happen. I bought an M2 Air a year ago and I've been running Asahi on it since the day I got it. It hasn't been without hitches, but that was something I signed up for. I'm incredibly grateful for all

This is such a trite take. Whenever I hear it, what comes to my mind is: "bro, do you even play games?". The gaming industry is huge and gamers are varied. What is fun and play to one person is boring and vapid to another. I t

Just a quick note that the basic form of std::make_shared (which is the one that is relevant here) has been in the language since C++11.

This is neat I guess. Maybe I'm just blase with seeing yet another AI demo where I'm supposed to fill in the blanks in coming up with ways to make the tech actually useful . The "Step into Paintings" section cracked me

Thanks for the correction, I appreciate it! The double negative was not intended :)

I want both... Some days, in particular when working hard or focusing on something, food is just fuel and not something I want to spend time on. I'd definitely take that first pill for those days. But I also really like cooking. If I h

It could be that they're plowing billions of dollars into engineering and missing some obvious solution. I think it's more likely that once you get down the details (which are going to much more intricate than a post like this can

Tracking down memory leaks is just one of things that valgrind can do.

It wouldn't be effective in practice. There are tools like pngquant that does lossy compression of png. That shady CDN could just as easily recompress png files. https://pngquant.org/

HP Dragonfly Chromebook exist with up to 32GB RAM and has pretty good specs (good screen with touch), but it's very expensive for what you get. I have one of those at work and it's a nice device, but I don't think it's w

Right now there doesn't seem to be much point. IIRC they had a 1000 LOC limit on the core part of the code when the project was early. The README no longer mentions the limit and it looks like they just raise it whenever needed. Three

OOP is a tool like any other and isn't always suitable. A similar example from geometry: all squares are rectangles, but you wouldn't implement a square type by deriving from rectangle because it breaks LSP. > Adding a new oper

It's just Apple's price ladder. The prices on their different SKUs are laid out carefully so that there's never a too big of a jump to the next level. https://talkbackcomms.com/blogs/news/ladder

One of the advantages with wuffs is that it compiles to C and wuffs-the-library is distributed as C code that is easy to integrate with an existing C or C++ project without having to incorporate new toolchains.

The literal ":>\0" gives us a 4 byte char array with the last two bytes being 0. I did this since the algorithm always does a 4 byte read from the passed pointer.

But the `as_str` field is never used. The type punning (and all the wonderful endian issues) is already happening in the memcpy.

The SWAR algorithm accepts the 6 ASCII characters after '9'. It'll parse ":>" as 114. int res = parse_uint8_fastswar(":>\0", 2, &num); Returns true and num is 114.
