Which means disconnecting it’s WiFi, because some may connect to open hotspots without asking.

When life gives you a wildfire, bake potatoes, I guess?

It has almost never failed. We added 254092 ifelse statements, ensuring every possible state will be dealt with. It only fails if the user does something unexpected, like clicking too fast. Damn. That makes 254093.

Don’t forget:

“conventionally attractive” and “ugly and woke”

Just wanted to say the exact same thing.

Projects can be treated like games too. You had some fun, learned a bunch, challenged yourself, and when there’s only uninteresting stuff left; why bother?

Average guy?

Have you not heard of the president and his friends?

The demographic that used to rely on DNS/hosts.txt-based ad blockers and then switched to more integrated solutions like NoScript, uBlock, or uMatrix.

Seeing ads (especially given how aggressive and ubiquitous they’ve got) is now just low key upsetting. All that bandwidth and processing power for distracting me while I’m trying to find something.

I remember seeing a auto-playing video once on mobile, checking my data and it just ate 2MB of my 100MB monthly plan. Fuck, I was so angry, I blocked the entire site.

Well, there’s “Imagine how cool that would be, bro”.

And they are kinda right, if you imagine it a fair bit cooler than it would actually be…, bro.

Other than that, you’d have to pretty much disregard anything learned from this. And you’d have to disregard the entire issue of getting rid of heat, powering a power hungry system that’s in earths shadow half the time, maintaining a server farm that’s constantly 500-1500km away from any technician and also in a vacuum, along with managing a solar flares, 500ms of latency and bits of sand traveling at 10km/s hitting your servers - oh and your boss being on drugs half the time.

But it’s not all robot wolves!

Why is she choosing the bear over the robot wolf that makes no sense. The bear is clearly stronger!

(just in case)

They will copy the slur into the text completion machine anyway to get a explanation, a summerized list of arguments along with their thoughts.

A slur is just being efficient.

Electronics are mostly solid state and are therefore virtually wear-free.

If it’s designed well, they could actually be more reliable than pushing fluids through tubes. But pushing fluids through tubes is already pretty fucking reliable.

I think the main point is to eliminate rusting brake discs from EVs, which rely largely on regenerative braking anyway. I know mine are constantly crusty; like I can always hear them scraping for the first few hundred meters of driving. Which is prolly not great.

Is the issue solved and doesn’t require any action anymore?

YSK: Cellulose can be made extremely durable and water resistent. The wallet I’ve been using for a decade now is made of cellulose. The stitching was kinda bad from the start, so I’ve had to repair it once. But the material itself is still holding stong. And it feels nice and is very grippy.

Would you concede that there is a difference between an hobbyist making minor adjustments to a image and a multibillion-dollar company that’s promoting a solution that effectively replaces the entire image with a new a one and that creating a ecosystem depentend on such a solution may go the same way PhysX did?

Do you guys turn your graphics settings to lowest to make sure not to interfere with “artistic vision”?

This such a bad take and demonstrates a total disregard for the role of technical artists and design.

Anti-aliasing aims to overcome an inherent limitation a raster (of pixels) may present, in oder to bring the actual result closer to an artist’s vision. The same can be said for any other technique. The common denominator is, that they all attempt to bring a artistd vision for their work closer to reality.

DLSS5, on the other hand, brings the result closer to Nvidias vision of what “good” looks like. And I think it looks bland and badly photoshopped and I want to see more good looking games.

Because of some comments, I’d like to add:

“Optimization” isn’t the same as “high fps”. Optimization is a game of priorities. Take the demo scene: these programs may be 64KB in size (on disk) but are capable of choking a 5090 to death.

This may just mean we get even worse performing titles, because the “quadruple-A” guys don’t give a fuck.

I will use this to make my code unattractive for AI.
