It does texture mapping but that’s all. I think it does very limited, basically gouraud shading.
You have to clip your triangles, basically clip everything.

Ps1 is great because it’s a mips core, a funky 3d engine and the main weirdness is the spu.
The n64 is all weird (albeit with a similar but 64bit mips core).

They’d gain 10 approval points in the south.

There are, but at that point you’re probably buying big iron already, cost isn’t an issue.
Sun literally made their living from those applications for a long while.
- Comment on Data centers will look ridiculous with tiny future servers. 1 week ago:
Yes, but they weren’t as fast, vt-x and the like were still fairly new, and the VM stacks were kind of shit.
Yeah, docker is a shame, I wrote a thin stack on lxc, but BSD Jails are much nicer, if only they improved their deployment system

Seriously, it’s like nobody else ever had to deal with a pathological narcissist or someone with BPD before in their lives.

128-192 cores on a single epyc makes almost nothing worth it, the scaling is incredible.
Also, I happen to know they’re working on even more hardware isolation mechanisms, similar to sriov but more enforced.

It made some sense before virtualization for job separation.
Then docker/k8s came along and nuked everything from orbit.

Have that problem ourselves, they didn’t provision power or cooling for this kind of density, and how do you pipe in multiple megawatts to a warehouse in the middle of nowhere?

I’m old, from when it was first revived, it’s slightly snarky and removes seriousness from a topic in the middle.

Does this joke make you feel uncomfortable?
If so, can I recommend some ants?

It can be out for a matter of minutes.
Humans are just ludicrously overdependent on aerobic respiration, our brain metabolism is overcharged to the point of being broken.
Most other animals have a lot more room to function sans oxygen, they’re more limited by stored energy reserves.

- Comment on After they kill Wikipedia history will be AI hallucinations. 1 week ago:
Good luck with that, Ai is funded to do the opposite.
Also, what we want to hear isn’t always what we should hear.
Maga is hearing 100% what they want to hear, there is a large section of the country who want nothing more than to hate loudly and proudly.

They want to make us all like their voting base in the south.
Inbred, ignorant and hateful.

The problem is:
So many of those voices are idiots.
So if you can get enough idiots to say something, it kind of becomes the truth.

Delusional optimist, assuming any of us will make it to 2100.

Yeah, have an offer, normally prefer startups but this isn’t the best time for those.

That team is hiring.

It has some wobbly bits, but it really exposes the most powerful parts of linux.
And it’s still somehow more user friendly than basically anything else in linux. Or windows for that matter.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
So, I love Debian, and it’s an excellent distro.
But personally something like suse makes more sense, it’s more user friendly and is so German it’s painful.

Which increases ESR and effectively reduces current, requiring larger cells/more cells in parallel.
