Eclipse SWT ?

There is a partial read-only implementation in native Java. I'm particularly interested in doing an ImageIO plugin using libxl or the rust version. In my field, we work with terabytes of JPEG images for archival/preservation of books and archives. Transcoding it to JXL and reading/writing JXL from our software would be a nice improvement.

he is doing a deep deep Andalusian accent, plus the extra noises and laughs makes hard to understand. The normal Andalusian accent it's perfectly understandable by anyone that understands Spanish.

Spanish native here. Andalusian accent never was known by being difficult to understand. Have other associations, but never that it's difficult to understand.

> you have AI make code, AI review code ... I hope you can see the stupidity here...

You will be surprised how many times, catches errores made by the AI coding agent. However,as you point, isn't deterministic. And you can guarantee the end results is 100% fine code

No. it's just the opposite of Hyper-thereading. SMT it's about maximize the resource usage of a CPU, running 2 or more threads at the same time. AMD used the opposite technique of SMT. It had a technical name that I can't remember now, and wasn't invented by AMD.

I did run a multithreaded CPU only n-body problem resolvers in FX cores. So heavy double precision work and putting each core to 100% . A Fx-8370E would get a speed up around 7.5 times Vs the single threaded version A FX-4300 would get a speed up around 3.9 times Vs the single threaded version

So in a physical heavy computation task, involving double precision math (where the AMD design of share FPU units should penalize most), the FX cores where happy churning numbers with the expected speedup Vs a single core/thread version of the code. So stop saying that FX cores sucks at multithread. They fucking worked fine on that kind of tasks.

I just was to say the same thing. I had a good experience with a FX-8370E. They go for too many cores to early, and sacrificed some of the CPU performance to do it. The gamble gone wrong...

perhaps was 60hz interlaced. I had memories of my first CRT monitor only allowing to do 1024x768 in interlaced and doing a very obvious flickering. But was flicker free at 800x600 and lower resolutions.

c&c Tiberian Sun and Red Alert 2 used Boxes instead of sprites. But yes, PC pixel art was easy to see in the late 90s, specially in RTS games .

Simply, don't use AI to generate posters and pay someone to do it.

I played SimCity 2K without reading the manual as a kid.
