when i realized i'd rather repeatedly slam my fingers in a car door than write that de interleaving code, it became clear the time for the switch had come.

the straw that broke the camels back was the assbackwards way bc5 encoding api is done in compressonator - having to provide two separate regions for each channel meaning you need to deinterleave channels from your input image.

update: moved to nvidia texture tools. once you get past the account barrier, it actually has an ergonomic api and docs that people somewhat care about.

unlikely, i don't really see a legitimate reason for a driver update to do this (guaranteeing that a buggy game will completely lock the system) . otoh, long-running intense compute workloads (so ml inference/training, raytracing) are more likely to need something like this.

when they say "you're a man of culture" this is the culture they mean

well it sure as hell wasn't me...

who tf did this to my system AGAIN?
i hadn't ran any ml stuff since the last time this happened, so i blame blender

For anyone who's tried to use spherical harmonics for lighting and found the notation- and terminology- heavy definitions confusing, highly recommend this classic: grahamhazel.com/blog/2017/12...

I think Graham Hazel's blog was down for a long time, years maybe, but works now!

anyway it's all very sad. cheetahs were always my favorite of the big cats because they're actually kind of docile (as in, won't rip your face off)

I think that when animals are disproportionately represented in the media we consume, its natural to start thinking of them as more common. but just rationally, the habitat where these animals could exist was not that big to begin with, and it keeps shrinking

lions are doing marginally better with a population in the tens of thousands. that is still shockingly low.

upsetting fact i learned today: the global population of cheetahs is only about 6 thousand.

ANANTA is giving me shenmue vibes.

one of the most unhinged sentences I've read lately. lazygit is about as "delightful" as a medieval torture device.

But... We already have pax in expensive city ...

bruh? wine Tuesday?

congrats on the new job!!

situation for desktop is a lot better when you adjust to only account for recent reports, but android still lags behind ufortunately.

Yeah, that's what I use as a reference point. Do you mean that old reports are clogging up the stats or is it that people actually just don't update their drivers?

it has been 5 years since dynamic_rendering extension became available and market penetration is still low. even counting just desktop platforms it seems to be about 50%. very sad.
