It is really sad to see them leave. They were one of the best open source citizens I know. We only have 1.0 today because of them (and many other contributors).

I was always sceptical about them having a valuable business model. And I thought they’d have bigger pockets. Becaue IMO FC/Ondsel is only now starting to get usable enough for anyone whose time is measured in $ per hour. Paying 1000 $ for a license is not much, if it saves your worker only 1 hour each week. Just yesterday I had troubles importing a step file into FC. Some worked two didn’t. Ondsel could import them. That’s when I read the sad news…

It has a display and even bluetooth. The Firmware is open source. The schematics are available.

Imo open source is not that important for an iron unless you want to add a klingon translation. But the iron is pretty good, although it is often rather >50 bucks including shipping.

Hand written assembly is pretty common in video, no matter what they say. All modern video codecs have hand written assembly for all modern SIMD extensions, even on ARM. They didn’t say anything about where these numbers come from. Likely compared against unoptimized C code. There will never be a case where having AVX-512 will give you that kind of speedup, because there will be fallbacks for more common extensions.

If qbits double every year, we’re at 20 million in 15 years. Changing crypto takes a very long time on some systems. If we’re at ~20000 in 5 years, we better have usable post quantum in place to start mitigations.

But I’m not convinced yet, we’ll have those numbers then. Especially error free qbits…

Whatever they say. DLSS is a dll shipped with the game. Old games don"t automatically get an updated DLSS.

You can usually replace the dll in a game with newer ones and often get better quality.

Idk, maybe they ship some parts of DLSS in the driver, but games don’t use it automatically.

Having said that, Nvidia does ship game specific fixes in their driver. But it’s less “retrain ai” and more “fix what they fucked up”.

Can the press be above the voting population? Surely not. So they shouldn’t be allowed to publish articles with uncomfortable thruths about a candidate? Also the democrats, they say bad thruths about trump. They shouldn’t be allowed to say that.

Not that it means a lot, but any inndvations it the “pack of card” games lately?

How else wold you feel a sense of pride and accomplishment, unless you constantly paid for it?

If 10% voted for some third party that would make the headlinds.

And be drowned in the rest of the election news and one of the two would win anyway.

Hypothetical then.

You can vote for whoever you want. But you will get one of the two.

Voting for someone else is basically the same as not voting. Sure you make a point, but the result will be the same.

Like I said, if there is nothing else you care about, vote for Pedro or whatever.

You know the cracking the cryptic Suduko puzzles?

Two dudes on youtube feature and solve medium to super hard variant sudokus. You can skip the videos and just solve the puzzles if you want.

The GAS puzzles are easier.

Please enlighten us? Just a hypothetical or a realistic one?

Then maybe there is other stuff you care about?

You’re getting one of them. There is no third option.

If you don’ care about the other topics at all, then don’t vote.

“The computers are not general purpose, but rather are designed for quantum annealing. Specifically, the computers are designed to use quantum annealing to solve a single type of problem known as quadratic unconstrained binary optimization. As of 2015, it was still debated whether large-scale entanglement takes place in D-Wave Two, and whether current or future generations of D-Wave computers will have any advantage over classical computers.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D-Wave_Two

I’m not aware this has changed.

On the plus side: they have >5000 qbits

D-wave is not a classical quantum computer. It is known to not be able to run Shors algorithm.

I hope they can build on some work from the lua devs. Isolating stuff like that is not always easy. But given lua is used extensively for embedded scripting, there is a good chance they can.

I played some minetest and then looked at Minecraft. Is minecraft really limited to -64 +256??? I read it a couple of times but still can’t believe it. Ho can a game with °mine° in its name be so limited? More like Buildcraft Imo.

Online play is 100% unencrypted or authenticated. Client executes lua code sent by the server. I hope the code is kinda sandboxed but wouldnt put my hopes up there.

I write business letters in HTML. I have a custom letter.css and a base letter.html+.js that loads individual letters into a template. I have some custom tags for date, address and similar. The individual docs are super clean. I can export compiled html files with embedded css (no js needed) and images that render perfectly and are even smaller then the pdfs I export (print) and those are small too.

Two downsides. The biggest problem, I didn’t find a way to do proper multi page docs. And especially Firefox has limited print css support.

Second: everything is crudely hacked together and in no way usable by others…

maybe chatgpt can rewrite the code better, so I can publish it?

I know million dollar machines that ship without MS office, but with Openoffice (!). The problem is, the Software can copy graphs to the clipboard in WMF (or something like that) that neither the super old Openoffice nor a recent Libreoffice can import. So wordpad is the only ootb software able to use the data.

Their reason is that 90% of their customers have an office subscription anyways…
