As AMD, Intel, Tenstorrent, and other companies develop better hardware, more software developers will be inclined to design for these platforms, and Nvidia’s CUDA dominance could ease over time. Furthermore, programs specifically developed and compiled for particular processors will inevitably work better than software run via translation layers, which means better competitive positioning for AMD, Intel, Tenstorrent, and others against Nvidia — if they can get software developers on board. GPGPU remains an important and highly competitive arena, and we’ll be keeping an eye on how the situation progresses in the future.

I hope this plays out like this. Compete on the hardware and provide open source access to acceleration. If you provide the best value for the hardware, people will continue to buy it over your competitiors.

I remember being addicted to the first one until i managed the hard mdoe w.o. dying once. With that i find SML to also have great replay value.

I just heard the 7th book as an audiobook last week. The amount of unforgiveable curses just casually casted by “the good guys” is staggering.

Seems to Rowlin the ends justify the means.

But for that you need all the parts, including the gunpowder. And for the gunpowder you need a special permission for handling explosives, at least in my country. So you just move into areas of even more difficult to procure things. it seems far easier to just buy a gun and ammunition somewhere else and take it over the border into California.

Why are these an issue though? It is not like people can just print the ammunition too. So they can only buy them with a gun license anyways.

This i find so infuriating. If there is no legal way available to enjoy an IP because the right holder is discontinueing service, it should automatically become public domain, be it books, movies or games.

Iirc. the US even has a law, that land not used by the owner for a long time can be legally used by anyone. Why do we not do the same for IP, where noone is actually losing something?

Embrace analog computing

To be fair everyone with poor documentation thinks the code is blindingly obvious when they write it.

What is so difficult to learn about pointers? I am not a programmer, i just used to dabble in C++ and a bit of C# and java for school and now python for uni. I found pointers in c++ much more straightforward, then memorizing when a function is doing call by value or call by reference. I still hate java for doing it half half and not letting you do it differently.
