Oh man, phone keyboards in general. One of my most common "nightmare" dreams is having to type something on a phone. Never typed one correct word until waking up
-
Glad you're a happy mother, but you didn't have to insult me like that
-
@Demolishun > who ruins their pro-
Nvidia. Every time -
I'm not sure he's arguing that all content nowadays is easy to make, but more like that content nowadays *can* be very easily made (with obviously dubious quality) and that he wonders what the difference between them is
-
@Demolishun A few years back when miners bought up all the GPUs, nvidia introduced LHR (lite hash rate) which is basically some driver/firmware thingy that tries to detect if you are using a gaming card for mining and limits performance
Guess Im somehow triggering it. Maybe high compute throughput and low memory usage or something? -
@jestdotty I feel like theres an xkcd about this.. the more features you have the slower it gets. And then some newcomer comes and is insanely fast.... until they have feature parity, at which time they are just as slow lol
-
@Demolishun No, it's basically what UE5's Nanite is doing. It's pretty crazy though because "compute shader all the things" has been a meme for quite a time now, but holy shit, I didn't know that "don't use the literal built-in hardware at all" was also a thing
-
@retoor forgot to imagine the no homo *face palm*
-
Oh and the worst thing is, even if I remove the call to the rasterize function, at which point the shader has no externally visible side effects and thus should be optimized to basically a no-op, it still takes 0.25 ms... of 0.6 ms total... without doing literally anything
Does jensen huang have a deal with the devil or something, sacrificing babies in order for this graphics cards to be able to go backwards in time and compute things before they even exist?? -
Don't let your destiny distract you from the fact that destiny is a girl name
-
@Demolishun It really sucks because this is by far the best way to implement order independent transparency
Like the guy in the github issue recommends you can also implement this with something called "depth peeling" which I guess most other games do, but it's worse because it's slower, more complex to implement and worse in quality if you are looking through more than two transparent surfaces (which is literally just one hollow transparent object) -
@Demolishun Funnily enough AMD *does* support the extension on both macOS and linux but not on windows... I don't know man
-
@kobenz It is! I wanna use the damn vulkan extension for my game engine but it's only supported on intel and nvidia. The guy in the github issue recommends manually rendering the first two alpha layers but that is both slower (you have to render all translucent objects twice) and even then only sorts the two first layers of translucent objects. Everything behind that will looked screwed up
-
@retoor Intels not to be confused with incels
-
@Elendil Yeah, FSR 2 is a bit worse than even XeSS, which is quite a bit worse than DLSS
-
We should all really just stop buying chinese products. Fuck china and fuck xiaomi
-
Lots of normal people voted for Israel out of protest against the far lefty anti-semites that sadly are the current political status quo
I frequent a 4-chan-esque website which the average normie would call "far right" (it's not) and A LOT of people posted images of them voting for Israel out of protest lol -
Every second time you accidentally drive into the wrong lane and have to reverse out
-
@lorentz Well sure, but at least that's just every few years. Imagine how often such a thing would happen if it was in grasp of the average user (hacker)
Re china: It's called "root of *trust*" for a reason. At the end of the day it's all a made up fantasy anyway so if you can't trust your government to follow the (imaginary) rules... I mean then you're just fucked in general -
Web assembly is very sandboxed. In fact you CAN'T even access files or anything of value since those APIs aren't even standardized yet lol
I don't really see how this is a big problem apart from the insane over engineering just to layout a damn font -
Creative software is unfortunately mostly exclusive to windows and macos since that is where the user base and the money is
-
How else can you guarantee authenticity? Your root of trust has to be somewhere and, like it or not, huge companies are just the most trustworthy place for that. At least they have a lot of incentives (investors and money) to *not* fuck over users and issue unauthorized certs
-
@c3r38r170 You're thinking about real life :D
-
@possum Not wrong, but that seems to be the norm in Rust
-
@tosensei Bro what do you mean KDE Plasma rocks. Better than that babys-first-desktop-environment looking ass garbage that is gnome
They really think they're steve jobs by being asshole geniuses. Unfortunately they are just assholes -
@msdsk Thats retarded
-
He's so obviously botting it's not even funny
Would be a real shame if something happened to his updoots... -

@ostream It's a pretty bad way to have a respectul conversation and I am not very sympathatic to it
-
@ostream That's not what I'm saying. But screaming at people on the internet sure doesn't solve anything either
