All depends on the maturity of the process. 10% for a new design on a bleeding edge process is possibly viable. You'll then tweak the design and process to get the yield up.

  • 12.5miles per $electricity-dollar (17.1c / kw-hr home charging costs)
  • 17.1 miles per $gasoline-dollar ($3.10 per gallon last fillup).

UK figures:

  • Right now my electricity price is 6p/kWh, but the wind is rather high today (Storm Darragh). Still there are tariffs that guarantee 7.5p (9¢) overnight for car charging. That gives 24.3 miles per $electricity.
  • Petrol is ~£1.40 a litre here ($5.30 per US gallon). So, 9.8 miles per $gasoline.

....ish

The maths was right, except it was all being done on colour values than already had the CRTs response curve baked into them. You may have heard of "gamma correction". Well, this is when you correct an images colour values for the display you'll view it on.

Blending before gamma correction and after gamma correction produce very different results. The cards were doing it after. This story is about doing it before.

Paul Debevec had similar observations around the same time. His work at the time was all about HDRI and that was put into Source a few years later.

...but then you're losing quick copy and paste.

Select text then middle click on the window you want to paste it. No keys. Select and a single click.

Of course, if you have more than three mouse buttons you can do both.

It's arch. There'll be no issue here.

Eco chambers sound like a good thing.

The graphics API isn't something superficial. The source engine was designed from the ground up around APIs from 20 years ago. Any Vulkan adapter will be a bodge.

This sounds like a good thing. I don't care if the manufacturer of my equipment trusts the software. I care if I trust it.

Could the oldest profession be one of the first to be replaced by AI?

No.

I'd rather a slower, less intense burn tbh. More time to escape.
