@stevesi What PassMark does after 5m full-bore, or when running on macOS or iOS using developer.apple.com/documentation/… is, I'm guessing, you know, a different story.

@stevesi yeah, Intel didn't "get" ARM - what a waste of their inexpensive ARM Architecture license to Marvel/XScale in 2006 :( - or that graphics was the new infinite consumer of transistors. Of course a little disengenous in these specs to compare peak vs sustained performance, though.

@ckindel omfg. yeah classic FTE = "full time employee". I mean, what there were 4 of us?

@natbro I don't think I've ever seen either Word or PowerPoint call the EnumFormatEtc() function.
English
@halberenson @ckindel lol yeah definitely was in ice-storage. took a few days for the little man to find the Zip drive and spin it up. now can I recall my niece's and nephew's birthdays? no, no I can not :(
English
@ckindel You just need the little man in your head to go down to the salt mine, get the floppy, and reload the data. In my case, much of that involves a 9 track tape and a prayer it hasn’t been shredded by the TS11.

Jeebus Christo. How in the hell does n@ remember this shit?
Just proves I’ve forgotten more about COM and OLE than most people will ever know.
Nat Brown @[email protected]@natbro
@EricLengyel niiiice. that's an olde timey PPT issue, can't believe it's still happening. iirc you just need to respond positively to the first IDataObject::DAdvise for CF_METAFILEPICT and it should also ::DAdvixe for CF_ENHMETAFILE.
English
@EricLengyel PowerPoint was an early adopter of OLE2 and I think didn't sort out doing ::EnumFormatEtc properly / ever.
English
@EricLengyel whether it does or doesn't, return the CF_ENHMETAFILE data even when it's asking for CF_METAFILEPICT. it will handle it properly if I'm remembering this correctly.
English
@EricLengyel Still fire away I would love to trouble shoot something OLE, it will remind me of my mid-spent youth.
English
@EricLengyel There are high-level COM interfaces?! Sir don’t jest with me.
English
@natbro Are you volunteering to talk about low-level COM interfaces???

Can anyone point me to engineers working on Microsoft Office who might be able to chat with me about an OLE problem I'm having with PowerPoint?

@stevesi At an intern party one year we snuck away to university village (then nearby bill’s home) and bought up all the yo-yo’s we could find and Mike taught us tricks while telling us stories about Bill and his family. He threw a mean yo-yo.
English
@stevesi As a young engineer, I understood being in meetings with Bill and Steve and Paul and others with technical slant but was at first very confused being in meetings with Mike because I didn’t yet understand the cultural, product, timeline aspects. Mike was also hilarious.

Not something I was expecting to read in 2024… about 34yo COM and OLE
Eric Lengyel@EricLengyel
After a week buried in COM code, I finally have full OLE integration between my standalone C++ application and Microsoft Word. • I can insert an object from inside Word to automatically launch my app and start editing. • I can read the current style (font size, etc.) at the insertion point from my app. • I can place vector graphics in a Word document as an inline shape from my app. • I can adjust the vertical position of the graphics from my app to align the baselines correctly. • I can store arbitrary data along with the graphics to maintain editability. • Double-clicking on an existing object in Word automatically reopens my app for editing.

@SebAaltonen No custom h/w this is a standard share codes this version.

Anybody knows whether PS5 AI upscaler (PSSR) runs on the GPU (using standard shader cores) or does it have special hardware block?
This matters since running on the GPU uses GPU cycles. Most PS5 games already run temporal upscaler on GPU. PSSR would just be a bit better...
