When the water comes up and stays there, where exactly will you move 120 million people, Antartica?
You are proving the god damned point I made in spades. You clearly have no sense in scale, at all. Lets put the situation on the table:
Bangladesh has one of the highest child malnutrition rates in the world, with almost 40% of its children being malnourished. 40% of all births in the country are by girls age 18 or less. 127,000 children under the age of 5 die each and every year. 38 out of every 1000 children never even see their first god damned birthday. Only 43% of the population is fucking literate. 43% of the people live below the international poverty line. A massive 77% of the people have suffered severe dehydration requiring oral re-hydration salts.
These people do not need solar panels, or god damned wind farms. What these people need is cheap energy, a stable government, economic freedom, and maybe some fucking help before that meaningful shit happens.
Yet you are here feeling their plight.... about sea level rise. You proved the fucking point you selfish evil prick. You have no fucking sense at all of scale. Typical western liberal statist ignorant asshole. Selfishly doesnt give a fuck about things that really matter today.
If you really cared about the people of Bangladesh you would get a fucking sense of scale, put some cash in an envelope, address it to one of the major charity organizations operating there, and ask others to do the same. But instead we see you justifying your feelings about sea level rise/global warming and quite despicably trying to use the people of Bangladesh as an excuse to push the solution that you feel.
An issue is that often times when optimizing for performance that even though performance is only important in those "hot spots" that the optimization frequently involves large chunks of the code base. If you don't understand this then you probably don't understand real optimization efforts and have just been toying with the kind of optimizations that the compiler should already be doing for you.
The professional optimizers, the guys called in because nobody on the team can get even close to acceptable performance, they werent called in to tweak. They were called in to change the underlying structure of everything. They arent looking to get 10% here or 20% there. They are looking to get 10000%. They cant do that by focusing on your silly "hot spot." They can only do that by changing the problem.
You must have a different definition of "experiencing the effects" than everyone else does.
They do have a different definition. They feel problems. They feel solutions.
If they can't feel the problem (such as the problem that the solution they feel increases the poverty of people other than them) then its not a problem.
These are a shitbags that dont understand that the number one killer in the world is poverty, that more than twice the population of the United States is way below the international poverty line in India alone. They are selfish self-centered coastal living fucks that have no sense of scale. They are extremely concerned that some people (such as themselves) might eventually be displaced by the extremely slow rise of the ocean, but are amazingly not outraged at all that the policies that they have pushed for cause people to die now.
You've heard of 1st world problems? This worry about sea level rise is the extreme form of that. They already feel it, even though they havent been displaced and need to be told by someone else that its even happening. And its more important that what we do about it feels like a solution rather than is a solution.
You do understand that the entire premise of the summary is horseshit based on the simple fact that there is no such thing as an "HD texture." -- but some eye-candy junkies want to make sure everything is called HD, even the textures!
Whats next, HD fonts? That might look real good in my HD text editor.
Ah, yes, because that's exactly what skilled people want: getting paid and hired/fired not based on how good they are or how much they contribute to a company, but based on criteria like seniority and other kinds of b.s. that unions come up with.
I am a witness to new unions doing exactly this. We unionized at my place of work about 6 years ago, and nows its seniority seniority seniority for everything.
someday, in only a few decades maybe the way technology and world populations are going, then the scheme would realize a profit in maybe 50 years
So its profitable then? You do understand that it can trivially make financial sense to begin an investment that wont "show a profit" for even hundreds of years, right?
This is well practiced already in many types of tree investments where the tree can take 30+ years of growth before harvesting begins (either the lumber, or more commonly the fruits/nuts they produce.) As time progresses the plot of land becomes more and more valuable due to whats on it, and can even be sold for a profit far sooner than the 30+ years until any revenue begins.
The telemetry shows that it was too high to be "peeping"
The telemetry also shows that it was at -45.9 feet when it crashed (see the video.) We can presume the telemetry is accurate and it crashed so hard that it buried itself 46 feet under the ground, or we can assume that this "telemetry" is bullshit.
You seem to want to presume accurate telemetry even when the evidence is right in front of you that it isnt accurate. Why is that? Why have you stopped giving a shit about accuracy and veracity? What motivation do you have to be willfully ignorant?
For all intents and purposes the "pro" part of Iris (bolting on EDRAM to the chip) does allow the GPU to do good graphics. It just isnt cost-competitive to buy a "pro" instead of buying a regular cpu with a discrete gpu card. These iris pro's are truly a ripoff.
I did a little comparison myself a few months back because I was backing up a bunch of DVD's.. VP9 was on par with H.264 for targeting 1GB filesizes, but H.265 was miles ahead.. targeted 600MB/movie and it was still better than either.
You seem to be under the impression that the stuff I mentioned are or could be "tunables" -- they are based on specific conditions of a specific rendering scenario, cannot be discerned at runtime without a performance hit, etc.. determined by extensive profiling and statistics gathering, not your imaginary "tunable parameters"
It seems to me that you are quite far afield of your expertise to not know that determining if an edge of a polygon needs to be anti-aliased is something "tunable" - as if the end user is going to be presented with a list of several million polygon edges and enable and disable anti-aliasing on them individually..
I wonder why you bothered opening your mouth at all
Speed increases may be sacrificing some reliability or cutting some corners.
Probably mostly corner cutting.
Don't need the 16x anisotropic shader if the texture isnt viewed from an extreme angle, or if the texture hasnt much high frequency detail,...
Don't need the 16x antialiasing filter on edges of a polygon that connects seamlessly to another polygon, etc...
I was talking about how we determine what benefits society or not
Did you miss the whole mutually beneficial part of free markets?
You think this is "economics of advertising" when its just "economics" -- economics is the thing that tells you what is beneficial and what isn't -- its that whole efficient allocation of resources thing that flusters those that dont even understand what subject they are really talking about, but want to pontificate about it anyways.
You know, the thing about free trade is that when people are free to trade they only do so when they believe that it is beneficial for them to do so.
Viewing advertising is just another kind of cost. Its still trade.
The upshot is that so long as people are free to trade then trades are generally mutually beneficial. The advertiser wins, and the consumer playing that "free" game or watching that "free" program wins. They both win. Its win-win.
Not a zero sum game. The idea that society might lose is ultimately based on the notion that economies are zero sum games, but they aren't. They never have been. They never will be. The idea not only isn't right, its not possible for it to be right.
My employer had an interesting solution about how to get rid of one particular problem employee that was "protected." They promoted him to a position that he couldnt possibly do even passably well. Then they waited for the first big fuckup. Then they fired him.
If the only difference is in opportunities in life for training...
Not only is that not the only difference, you ignored the one he specifically mentioned and showcased, which was cultural differences.
Why did you ignore it? I know why.
because you would look like a real fucking asshole if you went on about how the solution to the problem of diversity is changing peoples cultural differences.
No, I take that back... you wouldnt look like a fucking asshole.. you would look like a fucking racist asshole.

Its sexist and a war on women to ever take mens issues into consideration.

Go fuck yourself you selfish evil prick.
Clearly the solution is to popularize "basketball uniform" as masculine business costume, so we can all be comfortable at 24 oC.
At 24C I'm not even comfortable naked and I'm pretty sure that nobody else would be comfortable with me being naked either.

For some insight into this, check out the classic book "Graphics Programming Black Book" which is available online in many places for free (such as ) Chapter 17 (on the well known "game of life") is good on this, but the entire book is a good read.

If I can overlook the choice of words, perhaps you could.
Could is different than should.
Graphics matter.

It doesnt have to be altered in order to be bullshit.
In the video, the telemetry says -49.5 feet after the crash. Thats NEGATIVE 49.5 feet. It must have been very high to drill itself so far underground.
The telemetry shows that it was too high to be "peeping"
The telemetry also shows that it was at -45.9 feet when it crashed (see the video.) We can presume the telemetry is accurate and it crashed so hard that it buried itself 46 feet under the ground, or we can assume that this "telemetry" is bullshit.

The shooter lives in a city where you can't legally fire guns into the air
Good thing that he fired his gun into a drone instead of into the air then.

Surely It's also a balance of how useful something is when used correctly compared to the damage it can do when misused.
Subjective bullshit and I can prove it.
I declare that nothing you have ever done or potentially will ever do is useful. Now head off to jail, criminal.
It would be nice if all the tunables
You seem to be under the impression that the stuff I mentioned are or could be "tunables" -- they are based on specific conditions of a specific rendering scenario, cannot be discerned at runtime without a performance hit, etc.. determined by extensive profiling and statistics gathering, not your imaginary "tunable parameters"

Yep. Also, no NBA players with disabilities!

Yes and he made it quite well.
But I sense that UberASSIST availability is severely limited...
And we sense bullshit. You know why and how we sense it? Because you are using "sense" as an fucking argument for your Statist Fascist belief system.
Some people recognize the benefit of having the government involved in regulating certain markets.
Yeah but this guy in particular wants the government to regulate every market, completely.
Dont make excuses for him. Don't try to downplay it. His belief system is based on the notion that the government rules and fuck individualism.
