The only reason to do this is to #consolidate #power , and this is likely because they are about to do something that requires it. I highly suggest you #watch #taiwan . This will be bigger than #russia 's #invasion of #ukraine .
Awesome #effort to #speedup the #rendering #performance of #openscad https://ochafik.com/jekyll/update/2022/0.. Some very #promising exploration going on in that space!
I recently checked out #ytdlp - an #alternative or #improvement to #youtubedl https://www.funkyspacemonkey.com/replace.. This offered #significant #speedup in #downloading #youtube #videos - I really suspect that Youtube attempt to #detect the use of youtube-dl and #ratelimit it. This now means that #ytoff - my #invidious alternative loads alot faster: https://github.com/danielbarry/ytoff I will write a #coffeespace #article about it soon.
Speak about some #quick #gains - this #compiler switch for some #pinephone #library sees 5 times #speedup ! https://pineguild.com/maui-applications-.. Got to love them quick wins!
Nice discussion on whether #halfprecision #floats are worth the effort or not, specifically using the #gpu https://futhark-lang.org/blog/2021-08-05.. Turns out the #speedup really isn't so much. I suspect it *may* be better when you have large vectors, you can literally keep twice as much in #cache and larger models in #ram ... But still, it's worth checking whether you actually get the expected speed-up or not.
