- Comment on China releases 'UBIOS' standard to replace UEFI — Huawei-backed BIOS firmware replacement charges China's domestic computing goals 10 hours ago:
GPU stuff and ideally easier parallelism. The same binary could be executed on a GPU from any vendor, any CPU, anything that supports OpenCL, and could maybe even be extended to support FPGAs in the future.

On the high performance compute / GPGPU side the AdaptiveCPP JIT compiler seems very good for cross-platform operation
- Comment on The Sodium-Ion Battery Revolution Has Started 3 days ago:
look at EV prices in china for a more accurate depiction of the battery progress that is being made
apparently the government EV subsidy for outright purchases ended in 2022, but they’re good enough at the manufacturing now that EVs are still exceptionally cheap. 70-80% of world lithium-ion production also takes place in China, so it makes sense.
There’s a lot of reasons that I don’t like the Chinese government, but they have been doing a whole lot better than the rest of the world with investment into the future of technology from what I’ve seen. The number of top-rated CS and EE schools in China is doing a whole lot on its own.
- Comment on The Sodium-Ion Battery Revolution Has Started 3 days ago:
they’re actively manufactured for consumers, and cheap and available enough to be relatively competitive with lithium ion on there
- Comment on The Sodium-Ion Battery Revolution Has Started 3 days ago:
i hope isdt releases a firmware update for the q6 nano for that if RC sodium ion packs become available.
although afaik energy density per volume and weight isn’t quite there yet
- Comment on Does anyone else notice an up tick in hostility on Lemmy lately? 1 week ago:
I do feel like unseriousness/unsophisticatedness is generally frowned upon here. Usually things are more debate than conversation
Idk, people just seem a lot more relaxed on like nerdy public discords for example
- Comment on Firefox is adding profiles to separate your browsing sessions 2 weeks ago:
It’s the same as about:profiles
Just an easy way to separate people’s browsing histories, cookes, bookmarks, etc I guess. And you can have them sync independently as well. For if other people want to use the same computer
- Comment on Framework supporting far-right racists? 2 weeks ago:
Well, I guess he has tried to make his views fairly plain on his blog. it’s just a bit hard to find unless you’re looking for it
- Comment on Framework supporting far-right racists? 2 weeks ago:
i do want to point out how hard it is to even find out about the views of these people, if you just look up the names of the projects and aren’t specifically looking for this information there’s no way you’ll find anything about it
even looking up the name of David Heinemeier Hansson, the more vocally bad of these, i had to go to the 5th link to find anything even vaguely mentioning his views

- Comment on "Very dramatic shift" - Linus Tech Tips opens up about the channel's declining viewership 1 month ago:
Yes, it’s definitely a more mainstream entertainment channel than pure info
aimed more at gamers than tech people I think
- Comment on Internet discourse is wonderful 1 month ago:
for anyone wondering: hsl(38, 79%, 51%) for orange and hsl(136, 64%, 42%) for green, that’s oklch(0.747 0.151 74) for orange and oklch(0.665 0.181 147) for green. interestingly the normal digital color model shows orange as more saturated, while a perceptual color space shows them as a little bit less
(not trying to be the sort of person the comic is making fun of, I just like color lol)
- Comment on How long do we have before PCs get locked bootloaders and corporations ban installation of "non-approved" software? (for context: Google is restricting sideloading worldwide on Android ETA 2027) 1 month ago:
For phones Google gets to decide, as an os maker. For PCs, there are multiple OSses so hardware manufacturers get to decide.
I personally don’t see AMD or Intel doing that anytime soon, and if they do, at least Arm and Risc-V are making some good progress in the desktop space

- Comment on nooo my genderinos 2 months ago:
practical importance to gender
As perceived by me
(only the most scientific of measurements)
- Comment on nooo my genderinos 2 months ago:
I would say gender is probably centered about around psychology, ranges mostly from sociology to biology, with a just little bit going into chemistry

Not a petition exactly but I found fightchatcontrol.eu
There might be others, I didn’t look that long and I’m not in the EU so idk
- Comment on CALL FOR URGENT ACTION to stop Chat Control legislation in EU 2 months ago:
The linked petition says:
The European Parliament MPs must vote AGAINST Chat Control legislation during EPlenary vote in June-August 2021.
It’s not even up to date. And it only has 1.8k signatures.

- Comment on Battlefield 6 cheats day 1 of early access. Depite kernel level anti cheat, forced secure boot TPM 2.0 2 months ago:
I suspect that if you’re now playing where everyone else gets the same advantages, that ruins the fun of having cheats
If not and the cheats themselves are just that fun to use, sure, add it in as another gamemode
- Comment on My latest hyperfixation 2 months ago:
ldk, avif looks really good at the really high compression ratios. My problem with it is that usually it includes lots of details, except those details weren’t the actual details of the original image. It just kinda hallucinates them
Also ofc the unlimited layers, great lossless mode, and high color depth etc would still make jxl a better universal choice, but avif just looks better at the ultra low end
- Comment on YSK that Gerrymandering allows politicians to choose their own voters. In many countries, it's illegal. Gerrymandering is common in the United States 2 months ago:
The limit (with infinite districts made of infinite people) is theoretically 1/4 support, in a 2 party system, with a choice made from separately decided districts. If you add another level of districts, it could be 1/8, another would be 1/16, and so on.
In practice you can’t make a district with a actually 100% support of the opposing party, and you need to leave a little room for error in the districts you plan to win. Also there aren’t an infinite number of districts lol
- Comment on A 2003 complaint about Half Life 2 2 months ago:
A lot of that is shadows and lighting data, sometimes in unusual data structures without readily available compression methods. Compressing textures also impacts load times, obviously decompressing 10gb of jpgs could take a while. Still probably there are good compression methods and good tradeoffs to make, if any AAA studios actually cared about storage space (They do care a lot about GPU memory, just not storage space).

- Comment on ATT SMTP port 25 unblocking 3 months ago:
I don’t really stay on top of my gmail that often, but my spam folder has basically exactly the same stuff in it that my inbox has. Just a bunch of random emails from services that I signed up for an account on or bought something from and none of which I particularly care about. There’s not really much that I can tell differentiating what gets marked as spam or not either.
