One simple solution would be to convert both operands to 80/128 bit float, which should avoid any precision loss, and compare those?

I think bazel is the tool lot of people are converging towards, but turns out that maintaining complex build setups is a lot of work.

If you want relatively small low-power box with ECC, checkout Asustor AS6804T. It is nominally a NAS but really you can use it for anything you want, it is just an x86-64 server with some disk bays. You also get nice 2x10GbE, which is rare

I'm pretty confident that dfp is used for financial computation. Both because it has been pushed heavily by IBM (who certainly are very involved in financial industry) and because many papers describing dfp use financial applications a

32" 4k is pretty much the worst of all worlds configuration. It is just dense enough that traditional 100% scale is not great, but not dense enough to get that super smooth hidpi effect either. I'd argue that for desktop monitors

I'd imagine for most people the HDR perf difference is more noticeable than the resolution. This new monitor can do 1200 nits peak with local dimming, PA32QCV can only do 600 nits peak with no local dimming. Also Dolby Vision.

Feels like everyone is doing that sort of thing these days, it is very common to see Cortex M series core integrated into big SoCs. Quickly checking TI, NXP, and ST all have M4 (or similar) cores integrated to their SoCs

I like hyperrogue but I think it is arguable that it is not very good as a roguelike; I like it more as a puzzle game. The thing is that in hyperrogue each of the worlds is almost entirely self-contained, and the choices you make in one wor

It doesn't help that nics usually are not available in narrow pcie cards. PCIe 5 x1 is 32 Gbps (afaik) so it should be able to handle 25GbE, but good luck finding such nic. Either you get some 400GbE pcie5 monster or some ancient pcie3

Yeah, Collabora has done good job on rk chips, but even then there are still missing bits and pieces. At least for rk3588 they are documented nicely: https://gitlab.collabora.com/hardware-enablement/rockchip-35...

My biggest frustration with Intel Twin Lake (2025 Nxxx series) is its anemic PCIe configuration. 9 lanes is pretty restrictive, but the real kicker is them being only PCIe 3.0 in a SoC released in 2025(!). It is not directly comparable, but

Working with single fixed bit depth is imho different than being bit-depth agnostic. Same argument could be made about color spaces too.
