    Ah fair, I forgot Panasonic owned Lumix. Though the lawsuits are more complex with multiple parties suing RED, of which Nikon also fought RED and ended up buying them out to win th…

    Unless I’ve missed it; Lumix has nothing to do with this long standing patent battle. Could you elaborate on the supposed relationship?

    I disagree with your assessment. My twitter feed pre and post Elon’s takeover changes dramatically. Pre his takeover , it would more reliably show me my niches of design, technolog…

    Yes because SwiftUI is way more self contained and minimally verbose, it’s a better fit for LLM use than AppKit/UIKit

    Thank you very much for the corrections here. As someone else who has professionally worked in the film space, it always irks me when people talk about film in digital resolutions …

    A post mortem is a very common term in many industries on how something went after you shipped it. You’re taking it very literally here, it does not involve anything being dead or …

    The commercial Autodesk apps still dominate, as do Maxon apps like C4D for motion graphics and zbrush for sculpting. The big problems are that license cost doesn’t outweigh the pai…

    Do you have comparisons for Apple’s GPU to NVIDIA’s at the same power and thermals? Right now the M5 Max is one of the best laptop compute GPUs for blender rendering and doesn’t do…

    A lot of unreal engine games also fork the engine. If your bar is being forked then unreal doesn’t meet the bar for a lot of people either. 3D Engines of that fidelity are rarely g…

    Your first statement is wrong. The new Indiana jones game is not an FPS and it uses the same engine

    Oh I definitely agree the C-suite at Microsoft needs blame. Microsoft need everything to be framed as avenue into services. But Phil was the one who dug two incompatible holes and …

    Okay so your entire argument hinges on her having the ear of Satya , and out arguing Phil? But even then you wouldn’t be able to deny that Xbox was floundering under Phil. And for …

    How would Asha pull him out? How do you think she even had that kind of authority or seniority?

    Based on what? This just feels like baseless conjecture given she hasn’t been at Microsoft for that long.

    This is incredibly sad for a lot of my friends who are finding themselves out of work despite delivering well received products. But at the same time I appreciate the candor of Ash…

    I found this paper quite disappointing. It requires a fairly expensive precomputation pass and can only work for static scenes. Meanwhile interactive path tracing is fast enough th…

    Anything AI focused in silicon is also valuable for a ton of other use cases. If LLMs and GenAI don’t pan out, that silicon just gets used for other processing. Then they scale bac…

    Where would they make that which isn’t constrained already?

    They’re just as ugly and huge as you spec them out to be. There are tons of ITX / SFF builds that look just as good or better.

    Simply because nobody has successfully pitched the Unicode group to add one. Anyone can pitch new emoji, they just have to go through the fairly easy but strict formal process.

    I’m really shocked you can’t see the sheer hypocrisy on your part here again. You have literally added nothing to the discussion, other than levying criticism and denigrating any p…

    There’s an irony in you claiming my comment is uncharitable and claiming the article is a discussion point when you haven’t even taken up the question I posited and framed them as …

    I have a lot of thoughts about this: I think this is a weakly presented argument. The article doesn’t actually present stronger alternatives or even why anything shown is negative …

    Ironically the two studios you mentioned don’t actively render on GPUs and it’s an area which shows that even these small SoCs can punch way above their weight if you look at their…
