How does it compare with deterministic physics engines, given that their appeal for multiplayer is that they can perform rollback?

I'm more worried on the advertising clause, which would afaik make it gpl-incompatible for anyone else. (and probably also unfit for osi defined open source)

they are not an extension, they are part of core 1.0 vulkan.

Although its true that they are an optional feature (as is tessellation).

> At Vulkanised 2023 discussion round Khronos admited that they aren't going to improve GLSL any further, and ironicly rely on Microsoft's HLSL work as the main shader language to go alongside Vulkan.

That sounds intriguing, but I haven't been able of finding any references to it(I guess it was discussed in the panel but the video of it is private) do you have any reference of more information into it?

is it related to adding hlsl support to clang?

To give another example, in spain most mobile carriers will place everyone behind a cgnat with no ipv6.

In fiber some do the same, although thankfuly most place v4 behind a cgnat while offering ipv6.

The whole 1 ip 1 user even if dynamic quite false and is a mess.

They did try, apple made OpenCL and released it to khronos to make a standard, but never got wide support(well, they got plenty of manufacturers on board, not so much users).

By that time nvidia already had an advantage with CUDA and their opencl support always lagged.

I Just looked at it, I remember that the original source was available from the support page(don't remember if you had to have the product registered though), but I can no longer find it. Maybe they switched to a manual request process?

When companies are so big that operate in multitude of markets, yes, and depending on how many and the size of those disapproving the merger gets cancelled or parts of the business split, accommodations for those disapproving and so on.

Which is why such mergers take a long time.

Now, being both based in the US, the US could say no and it would not happen and no need for any other regulator to consider the merger.

to nitpick: windows also needs to provide a main function(why shouldn't?)

but I agree that the fact that the standard allow for 2 different declarations of main in a language without poliformism doesn't help.

Not to start with the whole implementations are free to define extra entry points part.
