For image gen I don’t have a good use but it is very complex which means sometimes I can just lose an hour or 2 fumbling around in a complex network of nodes.
What I found fascinating was how strangely good the results were when I created an image, then fed the result back as input, and repeated that process.
The only useful thing I used image gen for was creating references for an artist to create a PFP for me that looks rad as hell.

As for LLMs, also not really. I think about 90% of the time LLMs either give a useless or just wrong answer. I can’t seem to find the thing that LLMs are supposed to be good for. One thing all LLMs I tried have failed consistently at was finding a movie from a vague description I gave.

Amogus but you have to pay $5 per match to get the color you want and $10 for a chance to become impostor

At this point I’d rather play CoD than ubislop assassins creed 43 here we go assassinating again

Not my fav but to post something different: dir en grey - shitataru mourou https://youtu.be/TLXtwCViVQk

Again?

No mate look on the right side, the number 20 is repeated. Ye imperial units are fucked but we are not at a point where 20 Celsius is equal to 2 different Fahrenheit values.

Why they take this pic in the matrix tho?

Joke’s on you, I’m into that shit

I get what you’re trying to say but I’ve definitely experienced performance problems even on lowest settings.
The issue isn’t that everyone tries to run the game maxed out. The issue is that fundamental problems are often left in the games that you can’t just fix by lowering quality settings.

No. The thing is AAA games are now being released in an unoptimized state way too often. Even if you still get good FPS microstuttering and short lag spikes still occur frequently.

Of course this can make you wonder if this is a you problem and you just got too sensitive.

Nope, this is an industry problem. Why would you optimize a game? No, legitimately asking. It doesn’t affect sales numbers, it often doesn’t significantly tank your steam review score (that most publishers don’t care about), there are practically no downsides to not optimize your game.
But if you do value optimization, it lowers dev velocity, requires more training/awareness for devs and artists, and you won’t be able to ship as fast anymore. And on top of that you get… nothing. A few more sales maybe?

I had a super underpowered PC I grew up with and it influenced my imagination. For a long time stuff I’d imagine also ran at like 15-20FPS. Really weird effect.

Ah yes, the 29th of OJ

The very tl;dr is that Apple has been catering to shareholders first and foremost to the point that all else suffers. To elaborate a lil more:

The video shows an internal email from the iPhone VP of marketing that basically says they should only add features that are good enough and that what the iPhone already offers could be considered too much. “ Anything new and especially expensive needs to be a rigorously challenged before it’s allowed into the consumer phone”

Then there’s the thing where Cook allows stock buybacks which Jobs didn’t. I am not sure what this means exactly but it plays into the broader point that Jobs was a product genius and Cook is a financial genius. (also, they spent $77 billion on stock buybacks, this will be relevant in a second).

Lastly there is AI. Apple is lacking in AI chips so there was a request to double their amount, which would’ve cost about $10bn. But this request was denied. So they had to not just work with their own aging chips, but rent cloud computing infrastructure from Google.

tl;dr Cook is cooked or something idk

Recently heard that they filmed all the scenes for Groundhog Day in several weather conditions each. Maybe not a holy grail but really funny to think about all the stuff they didn’t use.

Funny thing is that despite being on my PC all the time (literally, if I don’t eat, sleep or shit I am in front of my PC) I very rarely dream of computers.

Last dream I rember was me standing somewhere I don’t recognize and watching a bridge collapse lmao.

Craig Robinson.

It’s not really his acting but more the roles he played that make me dislike him.

The worst role of his is the Pontiac Bandit. I despise that character. He shows up once every season of Brooklyn Nine-Nine just to make Jake look like an incompetent ass hat, when most of the time the show portrays Jake as very competent but aloof.
Though this is also the best acted role of his that I’ve seen.

Then there is Darryl from the Office. I don’t hate him as a character there, but I think he’s mostly just mediocre.

Don’t get me started on This Is The End though, yuck.

If you think $32k is so much to spend on MTX to call him John Microtransaction I’m sorry to say that he’s probably still just a medium sized fish.

Yeah I was just pointing out that this comment made it kinda sound like $200 is not an expensive subscription
