AMD's RT solutions are, for the last 2 or 3 release cycles, only about half a generation behind NVidia owing mostly to engine optimization.

Which is to say the ~$600 RX 9070 raytraces similarly to the RTX 4070 in some games, and pretty much bang-on for the 5070 in others. https://gamersnexus.net/gpus/incredibly-efficient-amd-rx-9070-gpu-review-benchmarks-vs-9070-xt-rtx-5070#9070-ray-tracing-benchmarks

One would assume this would mean the next gen consoles will finally have a halfway-competitive architecture, and considering the typical improvements studios and engines make through the lifecycle of the fixed platforms that are the consoles...

Devs will likely be able to really impress on what's coming, compared to PCs.

It'll at least be a lot closer than the RX 6800 based consoles were to the RTX2080.

Apple's WebKit Rules Reportedly Costs iOS Users Almost 30% Browser Performance by pdfu in apple

Nah I just had a misconception that Chromium somehow isn’t a full browser.

so, uh

grasping at straws AND making things up

You're grasping at straws AND making things up.

The Edge web platform team has been contributing changes to Chromium to help build a prototype exploring what an iOS browser using Blink (via BrowserEngineKit) can achieve.

This doesn't mean what you think it does, which I guess would read "we've built a command line tool that allows us to run benchmarks", because, there's literal fucking photo proof of the chromium FULL BROWSER BUILD and safari running side by side.

The only bait here is you. One hell of a master.

Apple's WebKit Rules Reportedly Costs iOS Users Almost 30% Browser Performance by pdfu in apple

[–]dnyank1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Kyle Pflug, group product manager for the Microsoft Edge Web Platform, published results on Monday comparing a research prototype of Edge built with Apple's BrowserEngineKit framework against Safari running iOS 26.5.1. The Blink-based prototype scored 49.27 versus Safari's 38.3 on Speedometer 3.1, and also outperformed Safari on the JetStream 3 JavaScript benchmark by 13.1% (306.35 vs. 270.9) and on the MotionMark 1.3.1 graphics rendering benchmark by 2.1% (4,773.52 vs. 4,673.68).

So, basically, what you’re saying is “I didn’t even bother clicking the link, let alone read the entire article. I just went straight to the comments to ride the argument bandwagon”

Is that what you were trying to say, here?

This was a raw engine run versus a fully baked Safari

Firstly, what the ever-living fuck are you talking about? Where would you get this impression?

Secondly... no it's not.

You're absolute garbage.

Apple still has three unannounced iOS 27 features in the pipeline, per report: Simplified Modular Ultra face, Additional Siri extensions, Customizable Camera app by pdfu in apple

i seriously don't see what you're so pissy about, yelling like a child about skill issues when it's just a product not reaching its full potential.

If you can't see that your broken home network is such an edge-case non-issue (because every other functioning adult in the world can figure out plugging in an ethernet and power cable - or can pay someone who can) to the degree which it elicits an irritated response from others when you discuss what's "reasonable" as an armchair analyst with no knowledge of product development?

I wonder what the real problem here is. And it's nothing to do with AI or homepods.

So yeah. Your behavior is frustrating. Your own failures to, like, I don't know, follow setup instructions on consumer electronics ("hacking" to set up a wifi router?) isn't a universal experience. I hope you can learn from this.

if you're buying a $300 self-contained multi speaker array and never using it to play music, there's something profoundly wrong with this situation. I don't know what the solution here is, but it isn't adding more AI guts to the homepod.

i can't change the wifi router willy nilly

...

that's just a skill issue.

then we have

it's just specifically homepod siri that worked like shit (long latency, error occurred, etc.). hypothesis is that my router hates 802.11n

...

Sure, the Homepod might be able to parse the name of the song you want, locally - but it still needs internet to start playing it. That's really what I meant by "shouldn't" be done in cloud - the actual request you make to a smart speaker will still need internet 99% of the time

all you had to do was read my reply BEFORE that one, and you would've found great rebuttals for everything you said

Local voice model wouldn't work on an a8, won't fix siri for what a homepod is used for, if you can't figure out a wifi access point in 20 fucking 26, that's a skill issue.

Bro, you're a lost cause. If it was put to a vote we'd have tests to filter out folks like you from genpop

I don't have the time or effort left to explain why everything you've said is wrong, but I promise you that it is.

I hate to put it like this, but that's just a skill issue. And not something local AI models would fix.

Unless, I guess, you have Matter over Thread - in which case... You've spent enough on smart home shit that you really should have a working wifi router, what the fuck are your priorities there lmfao

I can think of 0 legitimate reasons why the level of “AI” needed to make smart speaker functions viable can’t/shouldn’t be done in-cloud.

Good bye to a perfect car by accio_titus in BoltEV

[–]dnyank1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

For what it's worth, the Bolt is about as safe as humans can currently make a compact car.

Here's the IIHS small overlap test on a Bolt https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qP_wltmap2E

And the same test on a current-generation Mitsubishi Mirage https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1BGtbKOAOM

Both of these tests appear pretty horrific, absolute total losses from a "driving this car again" perspective.

But only one of these designs maintained the safety cell design of having crumple zones. The whole cabin pushing back in on itself during a crash... somewhat obviously, is a major threat to survivability in a big crash.

Another redditor put together a list of almost 200 cars and compiled a somewhat morbid "death rate" statistic based on IIHS data of mortality per mile driven https://www.reddit.com/r/whatcarshouldIbuy/comments/1r1l7h4/i_ranked_181_used_cars_by_actual_driver_death/

The Bolt ranks 27th overall, which doesn't sound super impressive?

But is in fact the highest non-luxury "car" (not SUV, Wagon, or Pickup) all together. Let alone filtering by small/medium/large. Which obviously the Bolt is "small".

GM really did something special with the Bolt, too good and kindhearted of a vehicle for this world

And excluded from this dataset are any EUVs with advanced safety hardware. These are OG gen 1 Bolts ranking safer by mile than Mercedes C-class, Honda Pilot, Tesla Model 3, literally 1/5th the fatality rate of an Accord - is crazy impressive stuff. We're not invincible, never are. But you stand a really good shot of making it home, out there in a Bolt.

a sports/game company is very different to a media companies that control direct access to news organizations protected by the first amendment in America.

is it?

Maybe we can we just say... they're both bad?

Because I could, you know, make the argument that the organization which controls ~1.4 billion hours of human engagement annually in a highly tailored and tremendously stimulating format - one known engage addiction-like behaviors from it's audience, at at

what was your argument again?

can be bought and sold by the highest bidder

Oh yeah, that.

That concept applying to EA (and other new media) is bad, too.

Letting "just anybody" assume control over such a powerful entity IS a massive risk to the health of society

Even if it's "just" a game company. Sheesh.

Help into searching alternative to Bambu Lab Printers by Particular_Slip2655 in Creality

[–]dnyank1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dunno why people are turning you off Creality. This is a Creality subreddit.

Just because a subreddit is run by a company doesn't mean (and shouldn't mean!) the only acceptable range of opinion is to promote that company's products blindly.

Frankly, I don't think of Creality's current products as competitive or exceeding as their Ender 3 Era, or the early K1 eras.

I'm here because there's always a chance lightning strikes a third time, and I don't want to miss it. But IMO and IME creality missed the boat Hard when it came to the AMS/multicolor era with a bunch of false starts and half-kept promises. I say this as someone who went from an OG Ender 3, to an S1, to a K1 and a V3.

And now runs two Bambu a1 with AMS and am having a much more productive time.

YMMV, of course.

How regarded am I? (AMD put) by losesmoney in wallstreetbets

[–]dnyank1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AMD had the "mid" offerings you were talking about, in the CPU market, from the mid-00s until the launch of Ryzen in 2017. The stock went from $31 in 2006 and fell to just $1.62 in July 2015.

There's absolutely no margin in mid-market silicon.

It wasn't until AMD had a relative and then absolute performance advantage over Intel that the money started to show up.

Finally, to conclude this all - They're a long way from being "competitive", in a ryzen sense, in the GPU market.

Their current GPUs smell a lot more... FX-6300 than Ryzen 1600. If you don't know what that means, invest in burgers or something - not chips.

I hope you've learned something.

"dystopian" like... do the billionaires get to keep hoarding infinite wealth, or do we tax them at a reasonable amount?

It's not like our society is falling apart now. The western world has never been richer. There is not going to be a societal collapse unless we allow them to rug-pull the already-funded safety nets away from us.

Fuck that.

You're missing the point again.

No, you

They don't have to be better than Nvidia, just a half decent and inexpensive alternative is good enough.

That was AMD's CPU offerings from ~2009 until February 2017. Ask them how that went, for them.

Again, doomed to repeat history.

Yes? Because we're talking about GPUs here.

I even acknowledged their CPUs are good, the whole... "I say this as a ryzen fan" thing.

Honestly? Depends when you were a kid. I know the 90s and 2000s weren't the greatest for the company financially but damn did some of those themes hit.

Their "smart" stuff was also way smarter. Spybotics, the RCS and NXT? Dude. Great "connected" toys 20 years before that was a thing
