It’s very popular in scientific computing

Depends on the nature of the project. Is it a pure software project or is it a physical device + platform? Is anything implemented yet?

It’s also the basis for a popular hardwaregeneration language, chisel. No clue why they chose it

I don’t think engineers need encouragement to be cynical. More often engineers need to lighten up.

OK, but not everyone produces technical debt at the same rate and not everyone takes responsibility for what they produce, so the point is still relevant.

The IEEE standard actually does not dictate a rounding policy

The amount of CPU time compiling code is usually negligible compared to CPU time at runtime. Your comparison only really works if you are comparing against something like Rust, where less bugs are introduced due to certain guarantees by the language.

Regarding “language constructs” it really depends on what you mean. For example using numpy in python is kind of cheating because numpy is implemented in C. However using something like the algorithm libraries in Rust woulf be considered fair game since they are likely written in Rust itself.

Not sure I understand your comment on multithreading. pthreads are not very hard to use, and you have stuff like OpenMP if you want some abstraction. What about C is not ideal for multithreading?

Thanks for the details! I have done MPI work in the past, so I was curious how an MPI implementation and iceoryx2 might be similar/different regarding local IPC transfers. It’d be interesting to do a detailed review of the two to see if they can benefit from each other.

Can you explain on a high level how iceoryx2 is able to achieve low latency? Is it as simple as using shared memory or are there other tricks in the background? Are there different transfer methods depending on the payload size?

Sure, it meets the technical requirements to be a comic. But it doesn’t meet the practical requirements to be a good one.

Yeah but comics are also supposed to be creative. This is a essentially a lemmy comment with illustration.

Does your school have a robotics team or something along the lines of computing? That would be a good option. Also if you are still in high school and plan on going to college, you still have plenty of time to learn.

Well luckily AI researchers have achieved plenty in over 60 years. We call the ideas and innovations resulting from this research “AI.”

So the entire field of AI has produced no AI. Gotcha 👌

OK what qualifies as AI then?

Oof, programmers calling LLMs “AI” - that’s embarrassing

…but LLMs quite literally come from the field of computer science that is referred to as “AI.” What are they supposed to call it? I’m not a fan of the technology either, but seems like you’re just projecting your disdain for ChatGPT.

This is such a high level description that it is a meaningless comparison. The fact that Fallout doesn’t take itself nearly as seriously as Westworld is already a huge difference. Sometimes the implementation is what is valuable, not the idea.

This would be cool if this ended up being “Alien Isolation but with dinosaurs,” but I am not quite sure that’s the direction they are taking based on the trailer alone.

open-world action game

It’s amazing that devs are still crapping out games in this genre.
