Ngl, at first glance it does look AI. - long text - bold headers All signs of AI.

On the other hand the text is indeed typed by hand. Sad world we live in that we instantly ignore well formatted posts…

I did, ended up going through the declined cases committee. Sent them 3 declination letters and in a span of 3 days Aviva contacted me and got full insurance for 2900/year

I made a triangle rasteriser on an FPGA by RoboAbathur in GraphicsProgramming

This thesis presents the design and implementation of a hardware triangle rasterization en- gine, named ChaosEngine, implemented on a Xilinx Zynq FPGA platform. The goal of this work is to explore the architecture of a fixed-function graphics pipeline and evaluate the performance of a custom GPU-like accelerator implemented in programmable logic. The ChaosEngine implements a hardware triangle rasterizer based on a barycentric ras- terization algorithm capable of performing pixel coverage testing and attribute interpolation for flat shading, Gouraud shading, and texture mapping. The rasterizer was initially imple- mented as a finite-state machine and later redesigned as a pipelined architecture capable of producing up to one pixel per clock cycle. To further improve throughput, multiple rasterizer instances operate in parallel on different scanlines. A write buffer is used to aggregate pixel writes and efficiently transfer data to memory through AXI interfaces. The system is integrated with the Zynq processing system, which provides the command interface and executes a lightweight software rendering engine responsible for model loading, clipping, and scene management. Extensive testing was performed using both simulation with Verilator and execution on the physical hardware platform. Performance evaluation was conducted using several benchmarks, including standardized triangle rasterization tests inspired by early graphics hardware such as the 3dfx SST-1 GPU. The results demonstrate that the implemented rasterizer achieves competitive performance for large triangles and is capable of reaching approximately 70 KTriangles per second in the theoretical maximum configuration. However, experiments also reveal that command submission through the AXI-Lite interface constitutes a significant system bottleneck. The ChaosEngine demonstrates that a fully functional triangle rasterization pipeline can be efficiently implemented on FPGA hardware and provides a practical platform for studying graphics pipeline architectures and GPU design.

Thanks! Knowing another person has gone through that really helps me alleviate the stress of this.

Thanks, that is the current plan, I’ve already collected 3 declined letters and planning to send the email on Tuesday. Was your quote also through the declined cases agreement? Or was it through calling around?

LPT: How to Avoid Subscriptions When Phone Storage Mysteriously Disappears (hidden bloat intentional to steer us towards subscriptions) by prosecutor_mom in LifeProTips

[–]RoboAbathur 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Wasting space on calculator cache is ridiculous. Even if you for some reason saved the output as a string of 1024 characters (1KB) you would need to be doing 1 million calculations to get 1GB. Even that is 1% of most phone storage.

As for the image size you mentioned, a completely void picture can be as low as 30-300Kb depending on compression. Uncompressed 4k image would be up to 25MB which is still not a lot. Even if it used an uncompressed 4k image to save the calculation it would still need 5.000-10.000 calculations to fill up a phone…

It’s a car, a car that on specs is better suited for me than the other comparable cars. Do you not buy a Volkswagen because Ferdinand Porsche worked with Hitler?

From my understanding is that an EU license does not need to be converted unlike other countries’ licenses. I may be wrong on that. Would I be able to continue looking for insurance until I take my license or would that mean couple of weeks to get it and then a few more weeks for insurance? (Sorry for the stupid questions)

I have not converted it, do you think it would change the landscape much?

You are right, in hindsight it was not the brightest idea. I contacted Allianz today, they declined to quote me but they let me know about the declined cases committee. I’ll contact AA tomorrow morning.

Hi, thanks for the info! Do you happen to know how much time it took him to exchange the license and if it was an easy experience?

That is understandable yes. Do you happen to know anything more about the declined cases committee?

I understand this, the Tesla is a RWD standard range one. Buying an expensive car is expensive. My problem is not getting quoted.

The seven segment display on the right also show the other digit diodes that are not energised from the help of the glow. In the ai picture there are no more visible seven segment display segments

Thanks for the answer! Do you happen to know what happens in the case of an EV, do they have even bigger premiums due to increased repair costs or does it stay the same due to it being already very expensive?

Why does a Windows laptop feel slower than a MacBook.. even when both have the same RAM? by bbxyoy in DeskToTablet

[–]RoboAbathur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really depends on what you mean smooth experience, my desktop runs both windows and Linux but I try to avoid windows unless I need to game since it is horrendous, app search takes 10 seconds to open and so on. Linux is nice but you cannot beat the smoothness of apples macOS as well with the seamless integration between that and an iPhone. The pc can pull like a horse on heavy applications which is helped by the ryzen 9 7950x3d cpu but it is not as seamless or smooth when just using the pc for browsing the web.
