I was always curious about its performance. How is the latency compared to alternatives like Parsec, HP Anywhere or NoMachine?

Content creation usually, which consists of audio, photo, and video editing mostly. The hardware and software integration makes video editing on a Mac really superior, specially with their ProRes codec.

You can get a good experience on a Windows or Linux machine with DaVinci Resolve, but that’s mostly because of the way better GPUs like the 4090/RTX series you’ve got at your disposal.

Question for pros: I'm a Python dev who recently started diving into C++, hoping to build plugins for DCCs. However, every time I read these threads, I feel as if I'm on the completely wrong path. Positive views like the OP's are rare.

While I understand that not everyone gets to work on a John Carmack level codebase, is working on a C++ project really as challenging and unrewarding as it seems? Is the productivity that low, and do every step feel so difficult that they eventually drive developers away?

Most countries should study the Brazilian system called Pix. It's faster than Interac, controlled by the central bank and very accessible to its population. https://www.bcb.gov.br/en/financialstability/pix_en

I know nothing about Zig, but this is pretty interesting and looks well designed. Linus was recently very mad when someone suggested a new semantics for overflow:

—— I'm still entirely unconvinced.

The thing is, wrap-around is not only well-defined, it's common, and EXPECTED.

Example:

   static inline u32 __hash_32_generic(u32 val)
   {
        return val * GOLDEN_RATIO_32;
   }

and dammit, I absolutely DO NOT THINK we should annotate this as some kind of "special multiply". —-

Because it creates more problems than it solves. A movie set is expensive and moves fast – and keying is not as big of a problem as they made it out to be.

For example, Niko doesn't seem to be aware of the IBK keyer (based on his comments in the VFX subreddit), which is the keyer used on almost every shot in high-budget movies. While it's not a single-click solution, it's the main tool to tackle thousands of shots with defocused edges, motion blur, and semitransparency every year.

Niko deserves credit for bringing Paul's incredible experiment, but Corridor is at its core a group of entertainers, and most of them have never had experience in a large production/VFX environment. Take everything they present with a grain of salt.

I'm seeing shots that would be incredibly expensive for some productions - even if we ignore the ones requiring visual effects work. Some of them would need small crews, permits, rentals of expensive equipment, casting, and travel. It's impressive and concerning at the same time.

Looks like Temporal and Prefect had a baby. I hope this gets traction and best luck to the team.

Is there any i3wm alternative that works with Wayland on Nvidia hardware (proprietary drivers)? I tried Sway and Hyprland last month but found neither ready for daily use.

The terminal window from VSCode still gives you all of that, with some extra ergonomics from the GUI. No need to remember ctrl b + % to split a Tmux window, scrolling and find just works, no need to install plugins to save sessions.

If a company train the model from scratch, on its own dataset, could the resulting model be used commercially?

This already happens with chess - despite the machine being superhuman, people have never been more attracted to the human game.

Perhaps what will happen is that we will have more time to play/watch more?

The GDPR in Europe doesn’t allow you to use publicly available information without explicit user consent, especially if involves personal data. Even doing some Google Analytics can in theory result in large fines.

I went through this rabbit hole about 2 years ago. I assembled 2 versions of also 34 keys designs, split, low profile keyboards. That helped a lot with my RSI but eventually my thumb got stressed since is constantly requested for the layers.

I eventually assembled a design with a few more keys, pretty similar to the Voyager.

I switch between this and the Microsoft Sculpt, and it definitely helped me with the constant discomfort.

Because most people prefer spend their free time consuming art instead of staring at a wall. You just forgot that art embraces games, music, movies, tv shows, comics, books or even some Youtube.

Pixar/Disney used AI to enhance their latest Elemental characters. They did a technical presentation 2 months ago month at Siggraph: https://dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.1145/3587421.3595467

There are videos showing the results with/without the AI detail pass.

What would be a good library /tool to auto arrange a complex graph (DAG) like the Blender/Unreal/Houdini node interfaces?

I would expect some options to set constraints, like the first input staying always aligned with the previous node.

Here is one of these DAGs: https://cdnb.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/026/099/2...

Most of the high-end 3D work is rendered on CPU render farms, specially due to how large and complex the scenes are.

Even high-end cameras that can shoot in Log, like the Sony A7 series, apply some noise reduction on their end. This is important for most compressed formats.

However, most people would be horrified to see how noisy and unsharp the images from top cinema cameras are when most post-processing is disabled.

I would also love to have an auto layout that considers more than just uncrossing lines. I spent some time trying to find a solution for organizing Nuke node graphs (for VFX) that would follow a few additional rules, but I didn't get very far. Not a perfect example, but getting something along these lines would be ideal: https://headjack.io/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/Huge_script-1...
