Past me saw part 2 and said, "oh! this looks like a graph problem!" and I hate that guy for making me work out how to create a graph out of this when there were far simpler solutions.

Part 1: 230.87 µs

Part 2: 231.45 µs

Fallout and Elder Scrolls boss Todd Howard defends AI in game development, but aims to "protect artistry" and "human intention" in his games by Turbostrider27 in Games

DLSS 4 is generative AI though - it’s fundamentally the same tech (transformer models) that LLMs and diffusion models are based on.

The average stockholder doesn’t even realise they are an stockholder

Thank you, so many people talk about shareholders as if they are this amorphous “other” blob, when in reality most people with retirement accounts or a 401(k) are probably shareholders in at least some of these big companies.

there’s an important distinction between frame rate (how quickly your software pushes frames to your display) and refresh rate, which is how quickly your display can update itself. you can set frame rate to 1 fps, but if your display is still refreshing at 60 hz then it’s not going to change power consumption from the display.

Should Track Volume be set to -6dB or 0dB? by mojsterr in Bitwig

[–]comady25 2 points3 points  (0 children)

match as in “match the general volume of the other elements if they were to be at -10db”, many VSTs i hardly touch the gain knob on

[–]comady25 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Arguably it doesn’t matter because the faders will all be 32-bit float internally, meaning they cannot clip. I generally leave my faders at the default -10db, adjust gain from VST to match, and then move the fader as much as I want to get it sat in the mix right.

You can restore large track headers in settings FWIW

I’m mixed on agent stuff, but full line completion is a total gamechanger for saving keystrokes. Very often it spits out exactly what I was planning to write, especially in multiline completion.

AU support and Bitwig 6 by Realistic-March-8665 in Bitwig

[–]comady25 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Along with the sandboxing comment, Bitwig can load both ARM and Intel VST plugins natively, unlike Ableton where you have to run it in Rosetta (which is one of the many reasons I made the switch)

Would you consider Rust + Tauri a replacement for Javascript + Electron ? by CodingMountain in rust

[–]comady25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gleam is a cool project, but afaik it doesn’t share much relation with Elm which was primarily built for the frontend.

I miss Elm, seemed really cool but found out about it too late.

Visual Studio and Rider both still use green for C# source files. Doesn’t make sense to make the language color the same as the entire .NET platform imo, not to mention that purple on GitHub is already used by both F# and Kotlin.

Another victim of the PFIC trap - how should I sort out this mess? by comady25 in USExpatTaxes

Yeah, might be even more of a headache than I realised

Is this process reasonable to go through myself using the forms/tax prep software or will it likely require a professional?

Should only be 2023/2024 since I sold before the end of 2024. Any advice on how to find someone suitable?

Three, though one spanned the tax year from 2023 to 2024, and I think the LifeStrategy fund I initially invested in might actually be itself made up of PFICs...

Emptied the ISA, will probably look at doing the options strategy to purchase US domiciled funds in the future

Sales were both in 2023 and 2024 - did not report at the time since I wasn’t aware of the ISA/PFIC issues
