fpr MP games the server code ¹ should be released to the community when finally taking the servers offline

¹ (or at least binaries with minimum standards for support/documentation)

obviously this is all just my opinion, but it seems evident to me:

the oligarchs.

they’ve realised their best shot at power is by dividing us cos there’s no way this shit would fly otherwise. that’s why they’ve been flooding us with every single possible topic of division, black vs white, straight vs lgbqt, even lgb vs trans (!!!), young vs old, boomers vs millenials. city vs rural.

all of that said, if you just don’t think you can stomach the wedding event then you’re nta imo.

the current pantomime is clearly designed to divide us and it’s working quite well.

you wouldn’t be an arsehole, but divide and conquer is exactly what they want

I wonder if the context of ‘tech person’ vs average person is what they meant?

A genx tech person in their field is going to be on avg further along than millenial in the same field - because they’ve literally been doing it longer, more experience, learnt more, exposed to more fundamentals.

imo the distinction is the average (non-tech) genx probably will have less tech exposure than avg millenial, millenials were coming up during the shift of the average person thinking “computers are for geeks” to “tech is cool”.

disclaimer: generation names are kind of arbitrary divide and conquer bs anyway.

Here’s why knowing the above i still donate to wikipedia.

Because we don’t want them to be in a position where they take money with strings attached. Imo its good for them to be reminded they serve the public first and foremost.

yes but the main point is anyone can pick it up again.

with proprietary it’s most often significantly more difficult and legally fraught if not near-impossible.

congrats on the excellent project.

how many pieces of the piezo and which frequency of operation did you use?

how did you design/source the acoustic lens design?

seriously well done!!

Always good to see competition which benefits the end users.

Any idea who they plan to use for fabrication?

fascinating, thanks.

no doubt ushered in under some notion of “protecting” us from well funded groups, yet mysteriously didn’t include a minimum threshold so poor folks with $4.25 in their account are still included in these broad sweeping laws.

pretty much, but its really crossing some thresholds lately which i find impressive

+1 for huygen optics, this dude is legit

out of interest, whats the deal with banks needing to know where you sleep at night?

is it a serfdom thing?

or is it only in the case of eg. that being the place you hold a mortgage with them on?

freecad is actually getting fucking good for the price

@op looking back, what was the specific cringe aspect of what you described in your story?

that you’d hope for this seemingly impossible outcome, of being a positive force in an established group with a clear bigoted direction?

or that you feel foolish for relapsing into believing religious topics again?

or something else?

may i ask why you believed that and why you stopped believing?

what piece of knowledge changed things for you?

surely you already knew all the reasons why that sounds pretty fantastical, even back then?

tangent away mate

seems like i’m mostly telling people in this thread not to feel bad about their prior cringe…

i really didn’t follow this closely AT ALL. but i feel like back in the day libertarian ideas were much more left of center than they are now. to my inexpert perception, it feels like libertarianism (and alot of other things) have been co-opted by conservatism over the years.

which version of the hollow earth are we talking? if you mean a giant hollow shell, then yeh i’m not sure how well supported that is.

if you mean the honeycomb earth idea, where there could be myriad of huge deep caverns. then i’m kinda open to that possibility.

(not that my geoscience knowledge extends beyond highschool geography and the odd wikipedia article - so would welcome an opportunity to discuss with someone adept.)

yes, as i said

from the article it’s not clear what the performance boost is relative to intrinsics

(they don’t make that comparison in the article)

so its not clear exactly how handwritten asm compares to intrinsics in this specific comparison. we can’t assume their handwritten AVX-512 asm and instrinics AVX-512 will perform identically here, it may be better, or worse.

also worth noting they’re discussing benchmarking of a specific function, so overall performance on executing a given set of commands may be quite different depending what can and can’t be unrolled and in which order for different dependencies.

from the article it’s not clear what the performance boost is relative to intrinsics (its extremely unlikely to be anything close to 94x lol), its not even clear from the article if the avx2 implementation they benchmarked against was instrinsics or handwritten either. in some cases avx2 seems to slightly outperform avx-512 in their implementation

there’s also so many different ways to break a problem down that i’m not sure this is an ideal showcase, at least without more information.

to be fair to the presenters they may not be the ones making the specific flavour of hype that the article writers are.
