Hint: The new models are really good at burning tokens. I've had to use it a bit for work, and it's been remarkable watching the degradation in performance with the default suggest…

Yeah, data layout/cache aware layouts are really key if you really want to unlock making something that ends up in a hot loop fast with SIMD. Also, avoiding allocations or vtable l…

Can you cite any information on this not being possible for the vast majority? Or is it simply that the correct prompt hasn't been written for all possible cases? I also fail to se…

In what universe would a sane person allow any LLM or remote calling software access to their user folder with sensitive data in it? I swear, people hear the word LLM and their bra…

Yeah, EA open sourced their STL, although now that C++23 is supported (aside from on MSVC? Still not flat_map there?!?) there is some replication in the STL. Not uncommon for audio…

Who cares if it crashes? The users. We can all agree it's not medical systems, but audio DSP and game dev both end up rewriting a lot of STL stuff to suit their needs, and often us…

It depends what you want to get out of it, and what you think art itself really is. If it's nothing but an end product, that needs to fit a specific aesthetic, with a specific soun…

This works for simple apps, utilities, and demos/mvps. Not great for actual applications. What about when you're embedding your GUI into an existing application? or for use on an a…

Yeah, it's a decent rubber duck. As soon as it starts trying to write actual code or generate a bunch of files it's less than helpful very quickly. Perhaps I haven't tried enough, …

I can definitely say I wouldn't know half of what I do and probably wouldn't have kept at it with writing GLSL and learning more about how GPUs really work without a lot of his fre…

also how raytracing works with bounding volume hierarchies and how occlusion culling worked with BSP trees in Quake if I remember correctly as well

Who wants to rent? I have money, give me a file for money. DRM is laughable anyway, if you give me the data I have the file if I really want it. Let me, the consumer, legally purch…

Video games too. Try to buy Need For Speed Most Wanted (2005). You can't.

Not agreeing with either side here, but, printing money and handing it to an investment class who then launders it through their companies, to acquire more assets vs printing money…

Also see https://michaldrobot.com/2014/04/01/gcn-execution-patterns-i... A bit of an older article but still very relevant. I've found with webGL2 you can also skip the whole uploa…

To sum this up a bit: Harmonic distortion is well accepted, unless done to an extreme amount. What people seem to struggle with most is intermodulation distortion, cross modulation…

There definitely are. I don't see anything touching most of the telemetry here, cortana, etc. This looks like a basic default apps store uninstall and not much else.

AMD Zen5?

Yeah, if they'd messaged this release as a significant architecture change (that will be more significant over time, and in specific cases, like anything actually using a 512-bit d…

This is an odd critique. Many interpreted languages consume easily upwards of 50x the energy at runtime...

Why not run a filesystem that maintains this? (ZFS exists, storage is cheap)

Seen some audio engines that do this too. You can come up with an elegant non-blocking lock free allocator and pass updates from the user thread out to system and reserve the memor…

Vinyl off gasses and isn't suitable for use in internal air spaces.

Yeah, remote work should really be required for jobs that can do it. That's a lot more reasonable of an immediate achievable climate action.
