Is this is it or did they already lock down "their" hardware so you wouldn't be able to install alongside or solely another operating system? It seems that it's something we shouldn't take for granted as of now that the separation of OS and hardware allows you to install Linux or any other homebrew operating system on "your" computer.

What are atlases used for? https://www.sharetextures.com/atlases

[whizzter → r1chardnl]

Before bindless became a thing (and it's not yet standard with for example WebGL) then doing extra render calls just to change active textures could be an quite expensive operation. Thus a texture atlas is useful to be able to batch a lot of geometry into the same call (Also useful for 2d-like animations).

Atlases are a set of small elements grouped together in one asset. It's usually used for trees and terrain objects.

Thank god. I will finally be able to use my EyeMac with dignity.

Is this similar to binary search or could it be a binary search where you're just excluding all possibilities that you know can't be the probable result that you're looking for?

[nyrikki → r1chardnl]

Feed forward networks are effectively DAGs

With the smaller model size, quantized models have less accuracy and less stable training, but large models take advantage of increased parallelism.

Binary search is more linear, circuits are a better lens than turing machines.

While it still needs to be verified, if you look into what a uniform consent depth threshold circuit is, that will help.

Although I guess binary weights may be in AC0 and not TC0, but that may not hold with billions of parameters.

How does this compare against CEF/WebKit/Electron or any other browser security wise?

Management positions replaced by a supervising AI

[thanatos519 → r1chardnl]

The problem is finding a good training set.

[TOMDM → r1chardnl]

I wonder what your input data would need to be for a competant AI in this space.

Finance, goals, delivery timelines, capabilities of the team, employee availability, which employees work well with each other, office politics, regulatory constraints...

[Filligree → TOMDM]

It doesn’t need to work as well as current management, just well enough to be cheaper.

Perhaps not even that, factoring in loyalty.

[monkeydust → r1chardnl]

Don't see why not, especially for low impact, high frequency decisions. Some AI guided assistance with option to automate. The next level for auto complete I guess.

[nuclearnice3 → monkeydust]

The future is already here -- it's just not evenly distributed.

[r1chardnl]

Played through till I needed a key then stopped. The first gun's feedback felt quite poor, other than that it's well put together. It felt like Quake that I expected the jump grunt sound to play, albeit I don't know how compressible that would be.

Maybe run Windows in a VM with your GPU passed through.

Can't edit my original reply anymore, but fair point, I've changed the keyword 'function' in the AST to a function return type instead. There's no error handling done yet to check whether the variable receiving the function return data matches the function return type, but it's on my todo list.

Then again in C it would work aswell if you type casted the types.

  const char *f()
  {
      return (const char*)123;
  }

  int main()
  {
      int i = (int)f();
      return 0;
  }
