Agreed. After mastering the basic cascade, Mills Mess is a great beginner pattern to learn next, but there are way more challenging ones. Burke's Barage is another more challenging pattern.
This was posted before. Not really 3d printing. It's more of a quick casted mold maker, since it just uses a conventional CNC machine to "draw" the shape in sand and then it pours molten metal in the sand mold.
A clever enough idea, but the results are mixed. It's limited to fairly simple 2d shapes and the quality of the "prints" are quite poor and require a lot more post processing than true 3d metal printers.
Be sure you aren't using photo quality from your phone as your baseline for comparison. Spending the better part of a second on post-processing and enhancements isn't an option for a low-latency video feed.
Also, given how important the cameras are for high-end smartphones, and how damn many cameras the Vision Pro has, it wouldn't surprise me if the Vision Pro's budget per camera is actually less than on a flagship smartphone.
OP here. I mean the passthrough cameras, and I mean they suck compared to the expectation of this being "AR, but rendered in VR" (I also have a 'first impressions' post that goes into more detail on this).
They're definitely not as good as the cameras on my iPhone, either.
I think the author is being far too harsh. It most certainly isn't phone quality. It most certainly is a good enough quality to do most tasks. Eating, drinking, making coffee, etc... all work perfectly fine. Fine detail is less good (reading my phone is difficult but not impossible). All things considered, they probably aren't as good as they were sold, but they are still pretty amazing.
high pixel count != good quality. With all of the smartphone cameras, the sharpness in the details is poor that the image quality is comparable to a mirrorless with half the resolution or less. And then there's low light performance and artifacts which the computational photography introduces
I'm guessing he means it falls short of "reality". The adds convey the idea as if you are purely looking at the real world around you, but the quality is very much that of a camera -- and he concedes there are some limits to what you could do with that form factor.
The initial report he's responding to, one saying operating systems will try to schedule non critical tasks to times when electricity is cheaper, is actually a good idea.
For most consumers, power is cheap enough where that level of optimization isn't really noteworthy, but for larger industrial systems where power demand is a huge expense, that could actually save you a ton of money
And make sense energy wise. Sun is strong at day and sometimes there is strong wind ... sometimes none of both. But the main computation is done already, or soon mainly on GPUs. And there is the limiting factor currently not energy, but avaiable GPUs. So you want what you have to run 24h.
I am not sure if CPU tasks can make a huge difference. At least CPU tasks that are not needed now.
I remember that being the norm as early as about 15 years ago.
Thus the reason behind the security mantra, "If it's not secure by default, then it's not secure".
Because normies know very little, if anything, about IT security. And to be fair, they shouldn't have to. When you buy a house or a car, how often do you take time to examine the mechanism in the door locks, and check to see how easy it is to pick them? Or do you rely on the locks generally being secure, albiet far from Fort Knox-grade.
That is true, BUT people are willing to learn about securing their cars and houses. They will take precautions. People do change their locks, buy security systems for their cars take care that they do not leave keys lying around. They are willing to make an effort to lock their doors, keep and eye on things. They will avoid buying things with weak security.
When it comes to IT they expect someone else to do it. The problem is no one else cares about your security as much as you do.
No, I started last year, by myself, didn't actually know this organisation, I just get training locks on shops and unlock them, I also see that they are specifically in US, I am from Italy, so there is no one of them around me :(.
Is that even logistically possible for rivals at this point?
You think AMD doesn't want to carve out a chunk of that pie?
What Nvidia is doing is hard and the engineers with the skill to design those chips are few far between. I'm sure Nvidia's already hired most of the best in the business.
Anyone who wants to unseat Nvidia will need very talented people, who aren't cheap, and that means massive investment capital which largely doesn't exist.
If you look at graphics performance, AMD already is pretty much on par with Nvidia. All of the math with graphics and ML is largely the same.
The thing that is missing is AMD focusing their software engineers that develop the drivers, and making them put work into RoCM to make it usable across all cards, all driver versions, like with NVIDIA.
That's true. AMD does make some attractive Radeon cards.
However, the real killer feature now is CUDA. Everyone's coding for CUDA, which AMD's hardware doesn't support, so even if they have a GPU that's on par with Nvidia, most libraries still can't make full use of it.
To an extent, I agree, but it depends on what you're doing.
A CNC can get accuracies and scale that's hard to reproduce by hand. Also, a lot of hand tools can be very hard on your joints.
Once that slippery layer on your bones between the joints is rubbed down, it never comes back and then you have painful arthritis for the rest of your life, so anything you can do to avoid grinding your hands down, you should do.
