I love what these shells do for the linux desktop, but on laptops it makes me bit concerned about battery life. The last time I checked out Dank Material Shell, I saw an impact on power consumption over vanilla Niri.

To be honest, I'm more often than not more concerned about not having smudges on my laptop's screen.

I remember the stock taking a beating after Kimi K3 created all that buzz about the open model designing chips that could run itself (even though the chip in question seemed small in today's standard of massive AI chips). It was only a matter of time before Synopsys released an offering like this. I can almost see the meeting where the C suite demanded working with an external partner over anything in-house they could build.

Why the overall market cap is smaller than both Synopsys and Ansys combined before the merger still beats me tho.

"The following presents a fast algorithm for volume computation of a simple, closed, triangulated 3D mesh."

- we are presented something

"I would be (pleasantly) surprised if the algorithm is novel. Further research after posting reveals the paper Efficient Feature Extraction for 2D/3D Objects in Mesh Representation by Cha Zheng and Tsuhan Chen, which appears to describe the same algorithm, although the derivation is different. It was fun while it lasted!"

- there was an initial expectation, though slim, that it may be novel. then on the discovery that it wasn't, related fun time was insinuated to be over.

are we reading the same text?

see, when I say something reminds me of something else I don't mean a one-to-one equivalence at every aspect one can think of.

anyhoo, it's always a great skill to review the state-of-the-art BEFORE investing in a work/write-up/article - one of the very first things that a post-graduate program would teach you.

reminds me of that 1994 paper that reinvented the trapezoidal rule

have you heard of PhysX, Hairworks, or the CUDA moat?

as gamers, we got burnt by nvidia way too many times. I'm still holding grudge over shutting down 3dfx.

M6 and M5 Ultra both have comparable memory bandwidth per GPU core. I think they will perform well.

no free lunch for a given process node I guess. It's using TSMC’s 3nm N3P.

we could have ended planned obsolescence decades ago if we put strong policies in place. I would really like a systemic solution instead of every-man-for-himself vibe coding. I've been following the "stop killing games" movement for that reason. fingers crossed.

arguing that the application of the law was as expected to people who point out how unjust the expected application of the law is is pointless.

ideally, we would see a stronger legal reaction to the biggest IP heist in history but clearly it's not what's happening. it's only natural for people to criticize the current system until a change for the better materializes, while doing so draw attention to extreme cases such as Aaron's.

I'm mostly taken aback all the solutions devised to go around the issue, especially the container-based ones. I really disliked it when I grabbed the flatpak version of Blender only to find out that it can't have HIP support. (they might have fixed it by now but you get the point)
