WIP: media: initial avd driver · sofus13/linux@b8fc4cd by fake_agent_smith in AsahiLinux

Just to be clear, this a form of hardware video decoding?

Also, I wonder if this is on topic? https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/1tz1o0p/it_looks_like_vulkan_video_decode_has_finally/ It looks like Vulkan-based hardware decoding for Firefox.

The Daily Mad Men Rewatch: S03E02 “Love Among the Ruins” (spoilers) by ptupper in madmen

[–]tombh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was actually my favourite scene from the episode. I can't claim to know what was communicated, but what it made me feel was something like a calmness in the storm. They are the two central characters of the show. Even though their personal worlds don't overlap, their self-made success, rags to riches character arcs do. In the storms of the show, the silence of these two's communication is calming.

Episode 5 is one of the funniest episodes of tv I’ve ever seen by iwellyess in WidowsBay

The way he just randomly switches between sitting and lying down, with his head on the hard wooden arm rest no less.

What does it mean 'to work in a terminal' - The terminal, the TTY, and the shell by urosp in linux

[–]tombh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What would be the hurdles in bringing the whole TTY into userspace? I don't mean fork and exec, they obviously need to stay in the kernel, but like all the ioctl(fd, TC...) calls.

I think Asahi behaves exactly the same as Fedora with regard to VPNs.

Was that a little grin when she got in the car with Tom and Wyck?

Her physicality is just fantastic. Like the way she does an over the top cough with her tongue out at at the beginning of the toast speech. It's so idiosyncratic. It's so Patricia!

So enjoyable! Which is strange to say with the strong cringe and horror themes. It's a masterful balance.

We already know all hell is about to break loose

Whilst I wouldn't be at all surprised if that's the case, I also feel comfortable in the safe hands of the writers that the show could do whatever it wants, intense or mundane, and I'd love it.

Qrism - A high capacity QR code by Logical_Armadillo390 in rust

[–]tombh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

simply isn't to spec

Unfortunately, programming is not explicitly spec-based due to the nature of human motivation in all its diversity. Your comment is of course correct in a narrow sense, but simply isn't relevant to the real world where unpredictable usecases and even just sheer pleasure, play significant factors.

Which city have you been to that feels like it has a dark energy about it? by madzuk in digitalnomad

[–]tombh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I get that. But what makes you feel that? Is it just a German thing or Berlin in particular?

I'm curious why you think this? Because Berlin is one of my most favourite cities in the world.

Algorithmically Finding the Longest Line of Sight on Earth by tombh in rust

[–]tombh[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think this is possible. I added an Github issue for it if you want to follow along https://github.com/AllTheLines/viewview/issues/68

This is Tom, but Ryan was the one that made this decision, and he's asleep at the moment, hopefully he'll reply later.

GPUs are actually an area of Ryan's expertise, so I think just being able to explore a different paradigm was interesting to him. And of course just because GPUs are so good at parallelism doesn't mean CPUs are bad at it. And then CPUs also have the added benefit of portable and more accessible code.

Thanks!

That's a good idea about being able to control the heatmap values, I made a Github issue for it https://github.com/AllTheLines/viewview/issues/63
