This is actually a valid brainf*ck program, but it results in 19, not 10.

The free market will decide it’s actually more profitable to shut down bus service entirely and pivot to helping ICE transport bus loads of “illegal immigrants”.

AI has had very measureable negative effects on society in the last several years. Someone’s race doesn’t have any relation to if they’re good or bad, which is why being racist is irrational and stupid. It’s not the same argument.

In terms of art, it’s the difference between being critical of all art because AI slop is common in general (what I’ve been talking about as rational paranoia) vs only being critical of one specific style because you don’t like it and label all of it as bad AI (maybe the analogy for racism you’re talking about).

Ironically AI doesn’t have perfectly recall either, and that’s kind of one of the main problems with it and hallucinations. It can easily get poisoned by a handful of data points in it’s training set. But even then, it can only really blend 2 data points together, it’s got no ability to extrapolate and think outside the box.

I think you’re missing the point here a little. This bias towards being critical of where something is from is entirely justified. The reality is, there’s more gen AI content out there than ever before, and if you’re not questioning things constantly, things will slip past.

I’m viewing this kind of like a “phobia” vs a “fear”. If you’re genuinely in danger of being mislead by AI slop, then having a paranoia about it is perfectly rational.

Bring back Optane! I’m still using a couple PCIe cards in raid as my boot drive on my home server. The RAM versions of Optane were quite interesting too.

It entirely depends on what you’re doing with the computer. Sure people won’t notice a difference between a game running at 60 vs 70 fps, but that card is going to struggle with modern games. From a quick search it sounds like it will barely hit 60fps in Cyberpunk at min settings 1080p.

I’m sure your 10 year old card will have no problem playing 10 year old games. If that’s all you play, then you’re right, you don’t need to spend any more.

An RX 7600 vs RX 480 could be the difference between something running at stuttering 25 fps and something running at smooth 60 fps. Or it could be the difference between running on min quality vs high settings, it all depends on the workload.

Well, you get what you pay for. A $100-300 PC and a $500-750 PC are not really competing with each other when what you get is an order of magnitude faster with one of them.

A useful comparison would either try and match performance at a lower price, or match price at a higher performance.

Based on the news saying the Steam Machine should be roughly equivalent to an RX 7600, it’s going to be 2.5x faster than an RX480. I don’t really think that’s a comparable PC at all.

Considering they built the whole steam machine around the fan and cooling design, and they’re using the very latest CPU tech, I doubt any other mini PC would be able to complete on performance per volume. If the tiny size isn’t a requirement though, I’m sure there are slightly bigger builds that would be equivalent.

So there’s this thing called a Fourier series…

Basically any wave can be created by adding together individual frequencies, and with some fancy math it’s possible to go the other way with a Fourier transform and get how loud every frequency is (like is displayed in a spectrogram).

I think the real black magic is in how our ears and brains can decode the mess of information coming in and identify meaningful patterns.

I guess we’ve learned absolutely nothing from putting all the retirement eggs in the Nortel basket and we’re about to lose everyone’s pensions yet again.

There’s plenty of perfectly fine used vehicles that are old enough to have physical controls, but new enough to still have a reverse camera and Android Auto. Personally I’m not buying any new vehicle with a cellular modem.

By the same argument, why not just play last year’s CoD? It’s not really fun playing the same campaign over and over unless you’re a speedrunner or something. I want new single player experience, just like I want new TV shows and movies. I don’t have time to stay competitive in any online multiplayer games, and it seems like the only ones making single player games anymore are indie devs.

Be careful, you might delete the database if it was designed by Tom.

it kinda looks like they just mistyped “dropping it” and they’re actually talking about some streaming service like Disney+

Save to /dev/null

There’s a few different services you can use to set it up. I quite like Buildkite since they’ve got a pretty easy setup for running jobs on your own hardware, but I think several other CI services have a self-hosting option.

The best part about it for me is I can run GPU tests and do automatic screenshot diffs for my game engine. Normally renting a GPU server is super expensive, but it’s basically free to run myself using my old hardware.

I self-host a decent bit of stuff. My setup has been to rent rack space in a datacenter to put my own storage server in, plus a second server at my house that I mirror backups between. I run my own VPN, “Cloud” storage, lemmy instance, game servers, websites, CI build systems, media streaming, etc… You can find some cheap server hardware on eBay that’s only a generation or two old, which you’ll need if you’re running in a datacenter, but for home servers it’s super easy to just set up an old desktop with a battery backup.

As far as I know, Microsoft has no patents related to linux and how it can run Windows games. Everything has been reimplemented from scratch on the linux side, there’s no shared IP or patented techniques being used.
