What i don't get is why people gravitate toward trying to show off how many symbols they're able to manipulate in their brain without screwing something up. It's a computer. It doe…

Well he DOES have a threadripper now.

slightly off topic but I would like to understand better why there is handwringing going around about cryptosystems being broken by future quantum computers. Don't we already have …

Thank you. I hope to see progress in these areas when I visit later. I was hoping to be able to go all in on wgpu but if there are still legitimate reasons like this one to build a…

Do you know if these things I found offer any hope for being able to continue rendering a scene smoothly while we handle GPU memory management operations on worker threads? https:/…

> WGPU doesn't support multiple threads updating GPU memory without interference, which Vulkan supports. This is really helpful for me to learn about, this is a key thing I want to…

I wonder how much less ergonomic is is for getting there via Vulkan. For the ray tracing shaders.

Damn that is pretty impressive. I just drive my 3d printer and run the unifi controller interface with mine. Thanks for the inspiration.

I've been hoarding apple devices too. I have a 12 inch macbook, recently brought it up to Ventura. But the blasted thing won't hold a charge. The battery is fine over 90% health bu…

I have 2x 3090 do you know if it's feasible to use that 48GB total for running this?

Ouch. I got this wrong and was under the impression that GPT4 got this wrong for half an hour, and then figured out after reading it again after returning from a walk that this is …

There should be an option to control and limit the severity of flashing that is brought about with the flash light for notifications accessibility setting. I like to use it because…

Could you give some examples of how BDDs are impactful?

The commenter you're responding to is talking about Lovelace architecture based GeForce RTX 40x0 products. The Quadro line isn't even released yet on this architecture. You are tal…

For other readers, it took me a while to figure out that esm.sh is a website you can go to which explains what it is.

The point your parent post was making was that regardless of whether or not you actually got fired doesn't actually matter. The signal you should be paying attention to (which you …

It's hard for me to believe that a modern brick school costs the same as 1.667 miles of concrete pavement, but it does not change the point he makes. It just makes concrete pavemen…

You took the words out of my mouth. What on earth did I just read? Don't they have video recordings?

As an avocado fan I have trouble grappling with the concept of guac made without them. Isn't that sorta like orange juice made from things that are not oranges? Feels almost oxymor…

Small pain point while browsing HN. I have to decide whether to open the comments or open the article. I almost always regret opening the article because i have to go back to hunt …

It's like a little puzzle snack type of a thing that I've certainly never been lucky enough to need to solve in 15 years of programming yet. Yes, I think it's really limited in uti…

Based on the linked (very cool) map, I don’t think what you say is accurate? A flyby of Ceres would be slightly harder than entering Mars orbit, and entering Ceres orbit would be h…

And the Babylonians, whose base-60 system's legacy lives on in our timekeeping, used the finger segments on one hand and entire fingers on the 2nd hand to count to 60.

I'm not sure that is optimization is relevant now that your CPU's native architecture will be just as efficient with the 8 byte length as the 4 byte one.

I find the refrigerator and McDonald's bathroom stall both to be a fairly straightforward metaphysical deduction from the generation of life on this planet and its consequent bloss…
