So is a GPU

The story is literally about Tesla buying 1.5B usd worth of it. Sure Elon has some interests in the direction but I doubt Tesla is going to use the bought Bitcoin for drugs.

You are not querying the mesh you are querying the accel structure.

To show why it is wrong: Change the mesh every frame.

Think of it like so:

float distance_to_surface_of_model(x, y, z);

For every point in 3d space you can get the distance to the surface. So, if you have a camera you can shoot a ray into the scene and pick some points on it to ask if it is inside the model. if so you paint that pixel with the surface material of the model. Then it's just a matter of picking a good way of sampling points along the camera ray. usually this distance function is some basic math (distance to sphere or so). But here they take a 3d mesh and create a neural network that can answer the question of distance to it (since meshes are very slow at that).

Did you do the same for this?

> If it’s controversial, the writing will tend towards the careful middle.

No, it will tend towards the side of those who has the most admin rights and most time for reverts. They will have no interest in neutrality

The first letter of it is the character 'S'.

They (Nvidia) have not actually been given the green light to do so (buy Arm) yet.

Great! I will then sideline all your ideas from now on.

If you challenge it before hand you have no damages to base a case on.

If only there was some way of auditing an election to calm peoples fears.

Yes they did. Democrats cried about Bernie Sanders getting defrauded of his election by other Democrats.

Hillary is still going around claiming they stole the election from her.

'had input' = can be accepted, not 'is also based on'

Often it has been that Vulkan is closer to how GPUs work simply due to GPU manufacturers having to change their GPUs to work well with Vulkan. To for example add a co-processor to the GPU so that it can do job scheduling in a more Vulkanish way.

Vulkan was after all a spec from one GPU manufacturer (AMD), there are a handfull others with their own archs developed with their own assumptions.

OpenGL supports multi-threading via creation of multiple contexts, sharing resources (textures, shaders etc) between them.

Mithraists, in Norway, 1200 years ago?

AArch64/ARM64 was developed from the ground up, not bolted on to the old 32-bit ISA

What's unreasonable about it?

I claim to own Iceland.

Here is Aristotle describing evolution through natural selection some 1300 years before that (in Physics book 2).

The creator of the Big Bang theory, george lemaitre, was a roman catholic priest

If discriminating on the basis of race is morally incorrect then discriminating (collages) on the basis of race is also morally incorrect.

This theory posits that consciousness evolved by ... consciousness being a solution to a problem.

This passes for a scientific theory?

is a mountain in Nepal a google maps url?

Yes, and it will give you answers, it will give you an answer that is a blend of answers to similar questions asked before.

That 48PB is mostly just old video game roms and isos though

There is no reason why you can't run AMD/Nvidia GPUs alongside ARM chips. The GPUs do not run x86.

Further, the average laptop consumer is happy with their intel integrated graphics. All they do is browse the web and punch some numbers in excel.

No, the 14% figure is for people that self-requested testing. You can see it as an upper boundary, but it won't be the actual figure, which is likely around 8% or so.
