  • yes but if you’re trying to calculate the mass of a pea, but you execute the computation that calculates the radius of the sun, you get the wrong answer. You can’t substitute any mathematical expbession for any other. I know you’re trolling at this point, since nobody could possibly be this obtuse. But I felt generous, and felt like feeding you one last time. Because, by your own logic, if you can’t execute any possible calculation, then you also must not be able to calculate how to get food to your mouth. They’re both just electrical signals running around neurons right?




  • one calculates what the pixel’s color should be. That’s the actual color that that pixel should be. The real one.

    The other one doesn’t try to calculate it and makes an educated guess. That by definition is “not rendering the pixel”.

    It has nothing to do with how realistic it looks. And yes, having written both software raytracers and rasterizers, I am technical about this stuff a bit more than just calling vulkan and having it do its magic. I actually dived in all the way








  • it’s very possible to get linux to run on a processor without having implemented al functionality. You can just not support some onboard peripherals yet and have to do some things inefficiently in software. You don’t need good power management to simply be “running”, etc.

    Getting linux to run is the first step, not the last. It’s the barest minimum you could do to have a product to sell. Running well, taking advantage of all hardware features properly is a whole different game.
