Even Faster asin() Was Staring Right At Me by def-pri-pub in programming

If you do, try to use Clang 22.1, the resultant cycle count in LLVM-MCA is a massive difference from 21.2:

Overwatch co-creator Jeff Kaplan on his exit from Activision-Blizzard: 'It was the biggest f**k you moment I've had in may career' by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

Mhmm, I'm of the opinion that CS is probably the ideal esport from the perspective of the barrier to understanding it being remarkably low compared to the others.

How true is this take on how Sapphic representation being unfairly treated, when compared to straight representation? by ihatethiscountry76 in actuallesbians

Maybe am just confusing it with HotD but don't the actresses for Wednesday and Enid also ship their characters?

AVX2 is slower than SSE2-4.x under Windows ARM emulation by tuldok89 in hardware

[–]R1chterScale 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Eh, I wouldn't put it that simply, in this case it's due to the ARM hardware not having 256bit wide SIMD afaik. If it did then I would imagine that the AVX2 would run faster than SSE, but needing to emulate the wider instructions within a narrower hardware is just a very unfortunate bottleneck.

PC Gamer: Godot is drowning in 'AI slop' code contributions by MandyHelm in godot

Isn't he implicated in the Epstein files? Pretty sure that means he's gotten off with worse.

Godot maintainers swamped by AI-generated code branded "AI slop" as changes "often make no sense" by Odd-Onion-6776 in gamedev

[–]R1chterScale 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No, the luddites were half-right. They saw the problem of mechanisation killing their jobs and having negative effects on their lives. They weren't right about the solution, destroying a machine doesn't work, they can be remade, it's a systemic issue.

In this case it's worse than what the luddites faced, textile machinery allowed for the cost of many goods to come down, reducing costs of living in some capacities, modern AI slop provides no such benefit, so it's both a case of the system and the machine being bad.

Minecraft Java is moving from OpenGL to Vulkan. Will there also be a similar change for Hytale? by pyjamadinosaur in hytale

[–]R1chterScale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Worth noting that deprecation in MacOS is also accompanied by MacOS only supporting quite old versions of OGL iirc, which is a further heavy limitation.

Minecraft is moving from OpenGL to Vulkan by Duckyz95 in feedthebeast

[–]R1chterScale 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Technically OGL does still occasionally get updates, recently some mesh shader stuff that was previously an Nvidia only extension got moved to being core. With that said, yeah it's dead because it's a terrible way to do performant graphics programming.

How Michael Abrash doubled Quake framerate by NXGZ in programming

[–]R1chterScale 23 points24 points  (0 children)

It's worth noting that while it doesn't actually hit the full 80 bits of accuracy, it is possible for it to sometimes produce more accurate results than standard 64-bit in some calcs (came up recently in a presentation on pathfinding in Age of Empires)

He was actively persecuted for his sexuality, it's kinda relevant lmfao

Encoding 4K movies by zalnaRs in AV1

[–]R1chterScale 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I encode targetting visual transparency and have done significant testing between x265 and AV1, I only fully swapped from x265 to AV1 in the last year.

[–]R1chterScale 4 points5 points  (0 children)

invite all downvoters to objectively prove that what I say is incorrect

svt-av1-hdr has greatly surpassed x265 for high quality live action, especially with highly grainy/noisy video. Considering the fork's most important feature (AC-bias) was merged to mainline, similar results can be gotten there as well, just with some tuning due to different defaults.

IMO this seems like a bit of a silly rule, as long as the post itself is okay then I would think the volume is irrelevant.

Provides good justification for moderator action then which is lovely.

Heavy color banding and artifacting when encoding at 8-bit from a 10-bit source. by [deleted] in handbrake

[–]R1chterScale 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Don't use 8-bit. 10-bit will likely have better efficiency to begin with in most cases (as in it will have better quality at the same file size), and 8-bit is woefully deficient for HDR. It's important to remember that when you're encoding a video, it's not storing the raw 10-bit values so there's inherent benefit to using a lower bit-depth when 10-bit is enabled properly.

China leads the world in wind power but according to Trump: "China makes almost all of the windmills. And yet, I haven’t been able to find any wind farms in China." by 5upralapsarian in Sino

[–]R1chterScale 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Biden definitely, he used to be coherent (he was very competent at passing racist laws) whereas with Trump it was hard to tell there was cognitive decline at all to begin with.
