“Any comparison of the Soviet and U.S. Navy must be viewed from the context that we are a maritime power dependent upon being able to maintain sea lanes of communication necessary to conduct military operations overseas and to support our allies. The mission of our navy is a far more difficult one than that of the Soviets of denying us free use of the seas. We have given up any chance of matching the Soviet Navy in number of ships. Therefore the quality of our ships must be superior. It is axiom

Unreal Engine ray tracing stuttering in AMD RDNA 4 GPUs linked to Nvidia-optimized game code

What just happened? Ray tracing was supposed to be faster and smoother on AMD's latest GPUs, yet some demanding games still struggle. A closer look now points to the real reason behind the disappointing performance. It's not just hardware limitations at play – engine choices and driver quirks are also shaping the experience. Radeon RX 9070, Radeon RX 9070 XT, and other RDNA 4-based cards should perform much better than they have. AMD's latest GPU architecture promises improved ray tracing perfo

JSON is not a YAML subset People on the internet believe that JSON is a subset of YAML, and that it's safe to parse JSON using a YAML parser: Following this advice will end badly because JSON is not a subset of YAML. It is easy to construct JSON documents that (1) fail to parse as YAML, or (2) parse to valid but semantically different YAML. The second case is more dangerous because it's difficult to detect.

Silicon Valley's AI talent war just reached a compensation milestone that makes even the most legendary scientific achievements of the past look financially modest.
