Servo is still making quick progress though.

Every source I’ve seen has shown rust and c++ to be very similar in terms of performance.

Is there context here that I’m missing? I’m confused

Like “I need to lock in and finish this essay” sort of thing

I’d say it’s telling someone to focus on a task at hand

Blender was also used a bit in Everything Everywhere All At Once

Is ecosia going to become actually decent? I used it for like 4 years but then tried DuckDuckGo and the results were just a lot better. I like the idea of ecosia, but I’m not willing to put up with that low of quality of search results.

Why not just turn on offline mode on the steam deck? Its easier than blocking it from the internet…

Yea I edited to say RISC-V specifically, thx

In theory it should be able to be more power efficient. In practice, less development has been put into RISC-V CPU designs so they are still less power efficient than Arm (and maybe x86 even)

Still, a fully path traced game without the loss in detail that comes from heavy spatial and temporal resampling would be great

And with enough performance, we could have that in VR too. According to my calculations in another comment a while ago that I can’t be bothered to find, if this company’s claims are to be believed (unlikely) this card should be fast enough for nearly flawless VR path tracing.

It’s less exciting for gamers than it is for graphics devs, because no existing games are designed to take advantage of this high of rt performance

Rasterization could be simulated in software with some driver trickery, but apparently it has less fp32 performance than the 5090 so it would be significantly slower

Still, a RISC-V based GPU is very weird, normally I hear RISC-V being slower and less power efficient than even a CPU.

I expect it to be bottlenecked by complex brdfs and shaders in actual path tracing workloads, but I guess we’ll see what happens.

Swift is decent, one of the biggest .net (c#) people gave a talk at godotcon about whay he likes it better than c#

It works cross platform, it’s just developed by apple

Unfortunately NASA rockets are also made by corporate assholes because everything is outsourced to the military industrial complex

Stylistic, it takes extra effort to do that

It’s hard to say. “Open core” means that most of the software is open source (licenses vary) but some features are locked behind a paywall. Gitlab takes this approach for example, also maybe onlyoffice.

Servo is another wip web browser, managed by the Linux foundation’s European branch. It’s a little less far along but is making relatively quick progress now. Apparently discord already mostly works, with sending messages currently being a problem.

There are some pretty corporate “open core” software companies tho, that’s a more grey area

Idk if the tech for 3d printers is really more complex. All of the parts are readily available, basically nothing needs to be specially made except the hot end (one single metal part)

The consumer experience for 2d printers worse IMO but that’s probably because I’m stuck on Windows with its terrible printing system

Bernie’s going to be almost 90 years old by then
