It's at least used in RTX Global Illumination as far as the nvidia site mentions it, and I heard rumors about Cyberpunk getting it, but unsure if it's used in current tech or not. I think I heard mentions of it in some graphics review of a game.

I don't think it will happen, and especially not for something this high profile, but Jury Nullification is essentially the "he did it, but we don't see his actions as punishable". It'd be a huge uproar if that happened too.

Made my own (windows only) to learn programming. Primarily because nothing beats Ctrl-C, Alt-Tab, Ctrl-V, Enter, Alt-Tab to download something. Then profiles, textfile with link support, and parallel downloads since some sites rate limit downloads.

Somewhat crude (don't ask me how the profile are stored behind the scenes, it's a mess)

That's true, i didn't think about that when I wrote it.

I'm used to the world being pretty simple though, so for me that slash has always just been a visual representation of the location of the branch if that makes sense. We don't have to have a slash in the branch name, only to use it to represent where that branch is located. It could have been something git only used for presentation.

I never considered branch names to be a vector, but in hindsight it makes total sense when put into a workflow like that. What possibly surprised me even more, was that branch names weren't limited to basic characters or at least no special signs. I obviously see the case for all the extended characters outside the latin alphabet, such as Chinese characters, but I totally expected restrictions on special symbols like ", ', /, \, ;, etc.

It's said right in the article that games benefit from only using the main CCD (where half the cores are, those with the X3D cache) It's nothing new for dual CCDs to have overhead of splitting work across the two CCDs. So 8 cores makes sense here, especially when only one CCD has the "infinity cache".

The other thing is SMT being disabled. If I understand SMT, it's what gives the 2 threads per core. So maybe it should have been 8 cores, 8 threads in this case? Edit: I googled but didn't find a good answer apart from seeing someone benchmark the with the boost on, and the normal had the doubled core count threads, while the "turbo mode" only mentioned the core count (at half)

How do you view diffs and merges when you say you don't use git GUIs? External tool or terminal/command line?

I use Jetbrains IDEs and most of my life has been IDE based git interaction. And I honestly love it, easy access to see my diffs, the most common commit, push and stage(or shelve as Jetbrains does it, which is better than visual studio). Hassle free and available beats writing anything to me.

My own disks won't survive the house burning down, and while obviously feasible, aren't accessible when I'm not home. I don't need it often, but sometimes I do. But the extra safety of a cloud disk is nice.

The thing he wanted looks AI generated as well...

Just got reminded of the silencer gun battle scene in one of the John Wick movies. That was perhaps the most unrealistic thing I'd seen in those.

What do you think the effective power generation and heat production is for whatever that reactor is producing, when not in a suit?

If memory serves correctly, the entire outer shell is a round metal cylinder, so that's a fairly large surface area to transfer heat to the body. Tony might not need winter clothes if he's got a portable heater in the chest.

I use it for coding (rarely pure copy paste), explaining code, use/examples, finding tools to use. Better translation than Google translate for Japanese. Asking for things that search engines only gives generic results for.
