If that actually happens and the label becomes redundant, then we can talk about removing it.

Or better, inverting it to a “No AI” label for the people like me who will still care.

Tech bros always act like this : they don’t want to actually win by making a good solution. Instead they try to make you feel like their solution is inevitable and they have already won…

For a group of people who claim to be all about meritocracy and the “marketplace of ideas”, they sure like to short circuit those whenever possible…

I’m in Europe, so if anything that would benefit us x)

Ray Tracing is still not good enough and needs “de-noising” which basically just blurs the image.

DLSS is also absolutely horrible for blur. I would rather have a clear pixelated image than an upscaled mess. (And AMD superFX is barely any better)

A combined off switch for TAA, Ray Tracing, DLSS, frame generation, and all of that nonsense.

I hate that games now turn to soup when in motion, even with motion blur off.

To paraphrase the Dao De Jing : “Only when the nation is in peril, do nationalists begin to exist”

A healthy nation needs not be defended so.

In moments like this I always wonder if I should temporarily make my PC unusable by reselling the component that’s overpriced.

Then wait out the shortage and buy 4x as much RAM then x)

Almost did it with my GPU during covid.

I use ed too…

Except I have alias ed=$EDITOR and export EDITOR=nvim in my .zshrc x)

If only

JavaScript is great for making websites !

The real solution is humane working hours. If you can’t wake up on time, it means you shouldn’t even be waking up at that time.

Some people sleep late. That’s normal. It should be accommodated for.

Zero tolerance is idiotic. We don’t even have zero tolerance for murder for crying out loud 😅

Everything is subject to context.

Good idea, maybe. Neurons are unbelievably efficient compared to circuits ; I think bioengineering is going to be the future for many industries.

The savings to be made, in terms of money and resources alike, are just staggering. Our current approach to almost every domain is just brute force with a few extra steps, computers included.

Games you can’t pause. I love Dark Souls, but PLEASE give me a real pause button !

I’m okay with the inventory not pausing, that’s part of the game design. I’m not okay with the fact I can’t pause at all, so if my neighbour rings for their spare key when I’m fighting Kalameet I just have to die 🤷🏻‍♀ (true story btw)

Every game has controller remapping with Steam ! But the on-screen hints might get mighty confusing 😅

Yes and no. “Real” programmers care about engineering choices ; and JS is the cardboard of programming languages.

Perfect for packaging (which in this metaphor is UI), horrible for building a bridge with. And vice-versa, I wouldn’t try and make amazon packaging out of reinforced concrete.

JavaScript really depends on the people writing it restricting themselves to a sane (ish) subset, just like C++

My personal gripe with JavaScript is how horribly slow it is. C++ at least has the merit of being fast once compiled. I wouldn’t feel great contributing to a JS project knowing fully well that a rewrite in a faster language would be 10x as effective as anything I could improve as is.

On the power user side, the nice thing about NixOS is rhat moving your config to another computer or server gets you a perfect clone, every time.

If you could go and muck around in there, this promise would be lost. Immutability makes it rock solid reliable.

The only correct kind of faucet is the kind with a thermostatic handle for temperature, and a separate handle for flow.

They are almost exclusively available for showers and that’s stupid. It’s the correct solution for the problem, with extremely few drawbacks.

The only improvement I could see is making the temperature handle short circuit to the drain until the water going through is hot enough. But I dont know if that’s really possible without electronics, and I really dont want my faucet handles to be plugged in or take AA batteries.

This kind of article, that just stretches out a simple point over a few hundred words, is absolutely infuriating to read.

TL;DR : Steam Machine has a laptop-grade low consumption GPU and will probably be more console-class than desktop-class. (Also, author has likely never taken a statistics class)

What movie is this ?
