Humans have a habit of doing shit that produce graphs like this and finding out what happens:

I’m from Buenos Aires and I say kill em all!

I fucking loved this game, it’s a shame it didn’t sell better. The performance was bad in some places on my pleb PS5, but mostly fine. It would go from fine to absolute shit, only for it to go back to fine when I went further into the level. So I think it was just bugged, I hope they can fix it.

Returnal for me was the better game tho, I liked the level design better in that one and the guns felt better. Saros was still very very good.

Not to be that guy, but that’s 100% on you for not having backups of important work. It’s 3 years and your fucking research dissertation, how the fuck do you keep that all in one place?

This time you got fucked by Microsoft for having shit software. But it could have been your hardware that exploded, your house catching fire, your shit being stolen, you downloading malware from that one site you told your girlfriend you’d never visit again, shitty infrastructure causing power issues or flooding, you yourself having a nervous breakdown and nuking the thing.

Keep everything important at least in three places, one of which should be in a physically different (remote) place. Backup often, keep to the schedule and test your backups.

Jeez man, using Microsoft software and not having backups is like walking around with a loaded gun pointed at your dick. It’s all well and good till you get your dick blown off.

This quote has to be bullshit. Cameron Diaz had a lot of work done and has been open about regretting that. It’s too late now tho, her face is all plastic and will never look normal again.

Edit:

Looked it up, not bullshit, she actually said it. 20/20 hindsight…

Fun fact: Life went from the water to the land and back multiple times! It wasn’t a linear thing, evolution just does whatever because it’s random by nature.

Weren’t they found out to have a chase vehicle for every one of them? Alongside continuous remote control.

The only upside I see is their stock has fallen since this announcement. Perhaps the market is finally getting that companies pushing AI isn’t a universal good thing?

Since we’ve stopped using CFC gases in our air conditioners and fridges, this has been mostly a non issue. The biggest issue also wasn’t the leaking, it was improper recycling. Things were just thrown away, leading to the gas escaping. These days proper recycling is mandatory in most countries and programs have been setup to do so.

Modern airconditioning systems mostly use a pure form of propane (R290). Which is still not the best thing to release, but has a very low environmental impact. Fridges have mainly used R134a for the past 30 years or so, which also doesn’t have a major environmental impact. R32 is also still used a lot, but is being phased out in favor of R290.

I think this is mainly a solved problem. But if they want to spend a few million to figure out if they can do better, more power to them.

I hate to break it to you, but when someone states anything in metric, I immediately have a feel for how large that is. That’s because we usually state everything in metric, so we don’t need to refer to random stuff and just learn the sizes of everything.

This is absolutely fake, I was at antifa hq just last week and spent significant amounts of time in the ball pit.

Yes I have the same on my laptop from work. It’s a Lenovo with integrated AMD, but also dedicated Nvidia for certain engineering applications that don’t play nice with integrated AMD.

Work doesn’t allow me to install Linux on the thing and some of the applications we use for work don’t run under Linux anyways. But I investigated if it would be possible, so I could decide to go pester IT asking if I could. I researched and found the same answer everywhere, it’s a pain in the ass and nothing but trouble. The main workaround is to completely disable the Nvidia chip, which obviously means not having access to that performance if required.

Would be really nice if this somewhat common use case could just work out of the box.

Well you say that, but then you start playing Resident Evil Village and suddenly it all makes sense.

Thanks for responding. It’s good to get different people’s opinion about it.

Running stuff locally is really cool, I’ve messed about with it. I think the tech is super interesting, it’s just a shame about all the downsides in the way it’s used right now. Unfortunately what I can run is very limited, my most powerful machine has a 4070 GPU with 12GB of VRAM. The lack of VRAM really limits it to very small models which are fun to play around with, but not for anything serious.

I would love to get my hands on something with more VRAM or one of those unified memory ARM systems. However AI has pushed prices for anything like that into the stratosphere.

Sorry, I thought you were making a joke since the book is about memory loss.

This is the book:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/There_Is_No_Antimemetics_Division

I would highly recommend, one of the best books I’ve read in a while.

What book? I don’t remember reading anything like that in a book.

That there might be huge monsters in the world or even monsters in the room with me right now. I see them, I’m aware of them and then I forget all about them before I can act on them.

I’d wish we would have some kind of Antimemetics division in our government to handle it. But I don’t think such a thing exists.

Out of curiosity, why have you been expecting a softening? From what I’ve seen AI tools for coding have gotten worse recently, not better. And companies are now jacking up the prices, to be more in line with costs. I’ve heard people irl complaining they went from $10 per month to $1000 if they were to continue using it the same way. Most have capped themselves or stopped altogether, as with that price it isn’t worth it anymore.

So my personal experience is more people complaining, but I’m interested in your view.

To me it’s more like yellow.

I think technically it’s a bonded familiar, but you are right
