That's a quite different thing, OpenAI has billions of USD/year cash flow, and when you have that there's many many potential way to achieve profitability on different time horizons. It's not a situation of chance but a…
It's also because around 20 years ago there was a "reset" when we switched from x86 to x86_64. When AMD introduced x86_64, it made a bunch of the previously optional extension (SSE up to a certain version etc) a…
Also when you visit most japanese websites you can see this phenomenon. I've read an explanation once that this is because culturally, japanese people perceive a wealth of information and choice as being re-assuring and…
Sure but all pre-made, battle-tested tree datastructures you'd use in production in all languages already come with some form of iterator that you can just for-loop over, so the original articles point is still moot.
I think figuring out the fastest version of a shader at runtime is very non-trivial, I'm not aware of any game or engine that can do this. I think it'd be possible in principle, because most APIs (D3D, GL, Vulkan etc)…
It looks more like Desktop GL might move to mobile devices soon. nvidia seems to be pushing really hard in that direction. But it'll remain to be seen where things go.
Eh, a lot of the recent articles on hackernews about GL have been fairly low-quality and were badly researched (like the guy who complained about timer queries blocking, because he blatantly didn't understand how…
No, that would make no sense whatsoever. You seem to be somewhat misinformed about GL... * OpenGL core profile is quite clean and lean. Both apple and intel have already decided not to implement OpenGL compatibility…
I use chromium with a 5760*1080 resolution, and I frequently have > 150 tabs open across 3 browser windows, and I really have no complaints. I also occasionally peruse or develop WebGL/ASM.js/emscripten applications, so…
It's a matter of perspective -- to someone who has taken a university class on lambda calculus/on logic that had a chapter on lambda calculus (e.g. as part of a M.Sc. in mathematical logic or CS), anything in RWH would…
AFAIK dynamic languages have gone away from compiling to native code because there is almost no benefit to it, if all you're doing is basically unrolling your interpreter into a unnecessarily huge binary. Methods like…
Category theory is pretty popular IME, I've seen lots of mathematician talk about it. It seems fairly popular especially with algebraic geometrists and algebraic topologists. OTOH I've never seen any mathematician use…
When I visited the university of Göttingen, it was everywhere. Students also seem to have it adopted as the drink of choice.
Your anecdote may tell us something about the "typical grandma end-user" situation, but it is totally irrelevant for situations that arise in large "enterprise" IT facilities, where the admins set everything up for you…
They use them less because they are less practical and due to their purity are unable to fulfill peoples (real, rather than theoretical) requirements. Measuring LOC required to implement a task is meaningless. If you…
Check if your iMac defaults to software rendering for some reason.
It still hurts everybody, because it bloats your files with unnecessary opcodes and forces the JIT to sift through it and optimize it away, instead of spending its time to do useful optimizations. It might only seem…
You need to write lots and lots of code to write a successful application in any language, really...
Well, WebSockets are somewhat more efficient in terms of overhead, the latency will probably be a little better, can be handled more efficiently/easier on the server-side and it doesn't have the other drawbacks Comet…
Boards for high-end FPGAs like that are not cheap to make yourself either (needs like 6 layers or more, because they have SO MANY densely packed pins + you need one or two layers to feed its gratuitous hunger for…
I was also staring at the title for half a minute, puzzled as to what's the deal about failing to designing a CPU with a megaflop...
p.s. I'm glad to hear about the addition of the flux capacitor
I'm mainly referring to the article here, which is rather ambiguous and mis-stated in its wording, as well as the submission title, which is entirely missing the point of what Fabric does. I don't doubt that you have…
Reality check: [x] Claims to support a multitude of languages with wildly varying semantics while still achieving some goal that seems unrealistic (or thus-far un-achieved) even for a single one [x] Claims to achieve…
