Was the original locked to 30fps? The article doesn’t specify. If not, yeah, I’d rather just to native 60fps. I know path tracing is demanding but I’d scale back quality to hit 60fps long before I’d turn on frame generation.

I have to agree.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m a fan, not a hater. I don’t hate-watch TV. I’m here to have a good time and I’m gonna have a good time.

But I miss “normal” episodes. Almost every episode in season 3 was “SNW does _____”. Either a spoof or a remake. It’s great to do that once or twice. They could easily get away with that many in a traditional 26-episode season. But when you only have 10 episodes you need more focus.

I’m going to start saying “that’s a one-brainer” to describe decisions that are simple but not quite obvious.

I have lots of places I can use regex to match strings, but otherwise have no easy way to say “match any in list”.

Is it stupid? Sure. But I can’t fix the umpteen web consoles I manage; I have to work with them as they are.

At this point, hiding from OpenAI and Anthropic is almost as hard as hiding from Facebook and Google. It doesn’t matter if you personally Just Say No, when you have no way to control what everyone else in your circles will with your information.

For example, when you exchange phone numbers with someone, you don’t know what apps on their phone have “contacts” access. Every fucking social media app they use now knows your name, phone number, and at least part of your social graph.

With AI, let’s say you send someone an email. You have no idea what their email client will do with that. Microsoft won’t fucking quit with AI integration. And even if they’re using decent software that doesn’t automatically funnel everything into AI, otherwise-sane people paste fucking everything into ChatGPT themselves. You cannot realistically protect yourself if you collaborate with anyone.

13.x is Trixie. 13.7 is new. Not a whole new version, just a point update to Trixie.

Released last year as stable. Perhaps you were running it when it was in testing, going back several years.

Ideally the ranking algorithm would be transparent (open-source) and customizable. I DO think it should be regulated, but I don’t think mandating chronological sorting is a reasonable solution.

There should also be a way to easily sort things. Bluesky has a custom feed system, and I think Mastodon does too. I’m not a huge user of either so I’m not sure which is better. But ideally I would NOT have a mix of news, politics, art, friends, family, etc. That’s probably why I prefer Lemmy’s community-centered format to most social media’s account-centered format.

Here on Lemmy, I don’t typically use “new”. My subscribed communities are low-traffic enough that I suppose I could without losing my mind, but “hot” or “active” become better as activity increases.

People who want a chronological feed are stuck in a 2010 mindset.

It worked back then, when the primary use case was just real-life friends and family. It does not scale to a “friends” list of 1000+ accounts, with news, politics, etc.

“Algorithms” are not the bogeyman. The problem is what they do, and the corrupt incentives behind them.

This is in no way an endorsement of the status quo.

Most of them were full of bots and scammers even before the AI craze. I can only imagine how bad they are now.

I’ll say that I had a good experience with Coffee Meets Bagel but that was years ago. Their gimmick at the time was that they only showed you up to 10 profiles per day so it didn’t incentivize doomscrolling like Tinder.

3060s are popular at a certain price/performance level for certain AI workloads, because they have a lot of VRAM for the price. And underclocking GPUs is also somewhat popular because AI workloads are bottlenecked more by memory bandwidth that compute speed.

At least…in theory. I’ve never heard of people underclocking 3060s specifically. I’m skeptical. And at $500 I think they’ve thrown price/performance out the window.

I’m sure some crazy person is going to put 8 of these in a jury-rigged case made of scrap wood.

Fucking NIMBYs.

I’ve seen this on smaller scales everywhere I’ve been. Some gentrifying asshole moves in across from a bar, proceeds to complain about ordinary bar noise. Police issue warnings, maybe the city council forms a committee.

If you are hypersensitive to noise, maybe don’t move across from a bar. These idiots make their idiocy everyone else’s problem.

Did Rebirth have Denuvo on launch? It doesn’t seem to now.

It’s not kernel-level though. It’s application level.

Steam doesn’t even have admin access, let alone kernel access.

Yeah, this is the first time I’ve thought about pirating a game I could buy in like 25 years. Good job, Square!

Those people playing the games should be reconsidering their relationship because of how insecure their partner is.

Seriously. I mean, maybe talk things out before going nuclear, but don’t accept such controlling behavior as okay. A little therapy can go a long way.

Sure, there are some people who have unhealthy relationships with video games (and fiction in general), and that shouldn’t automatically get a pass. I’ve seen some crazy shit in the Baldur’s Gate 3 community. But for the vast majority it’s just a game. I mean, I’m not going to fuck a bear, a half-devil, or a squid in real life. I promise.

Overall, our results suggest a moderate labor supply effect that does not appear offset by other productive activities.

Okay but also fuck you.

That’s the exact opposite of what your graph shows. Did you not see the huge spike after Trump’s second inauguration in the graph you posted?

More arrests under Trump, with a lower conviction rate.

Next you’re going to tell me that my fridge is not a database either.

IIRC research shows similar brain activity between reading books and listening to audio books.

But splitting attention is another matter. I listen to podcasts a lot, and often I’ll finish an episode and realize I have no idea what happened because I was focused on work.

When it comes to audiobooks, I try not to split my attention because of that. Sometimes I’ll listen to the audio book while reading along. For me that seems to improve my speed and focus compared to either one on its own. I’ll crank up the audio speed to around 3x, which is too fast when just listening but fine when reading along. And the audio keeps me at a steadier pace than reading alone.
