  • They're already going to only ship it through Steam. As long as you're using Steam, they don't care.

  • You could use Nsight, it has a Linux version and is very in depth (shows every draw call, also has one that shows very detailed CPU tasks)

    Of course harder to use than presentmon

  • There are very few habitable places in the world not susceptible to airstrikes. The bombs dropped on nuclear facilities last night are claimed to be able to penetrate 60 meters of earth before exploding.

  • I think the average American is making just about enough to get by, and probably would have a hard time, though not an impossible one, affording an extra ~$2k a year. (I can't find a solid figure for the average household living wage in the US, but from what I've seen it's pretty close to the average household income)

    It is a bit weird to define above average wage as rich though. But there is really no definitive class border so I think it's slightly useless to argue about. You can also define above average as rich while still directing your hate towards the .1%.

    Also I don't really detect any hate there?

  • I feel like generally a good way to summarize it is that em dashes can be used basically anywhere there would be a pause in natural conversation. You pause to include some content, you switch topics, etc. It's fairly intuitive.

  • Played through stray for the first time recently

    The game was great, especially for how relatively small the team was, but honestly the reveal of the largest mystery in the game was very underwhelming.

    It's still a good game though, I do recommend it.

  • George Floyd protests had more than that (closer to 8%) and they didn't really change anything.

  • I have this chromebook that has some weird keyboard setup where depending on the keys you're trying to press you might be able to press 7 or you might just be able to press two out of the three. IIRC your scenario probably would have worked fine, I think they probably gave it better abilities in that area of the keyboard.

    Anyways, there's always autohotkey for setting up macros

  • What about an asic makes it more flexible or easy to swap out? I thought it was just a general term for any application specific chip.

    I think NVIDIA's strategy is to have high throughout and compute for fp4,8,16,32,bf8,sparsity,etc and not really commit to much. I guess if the application is very well known there's a bit of overhead in that.

    I'm not in industry or anything so I'm not very confident in this but I don't really see how an ASIC would be that different overall

  • GPUs are basically halfway to ASICs already. Probably about half of a lot of modern GPU die area is dedicated to or needed to support specialized AI hardware.

    I think the next steps are integrated memory and compute, and ternary operations. Integrated memory and compute would probably need specialized hardware, I doubt it would make sense to include anything other than matrix operations and some common AI functions in that sort of processor.

    Also, isn't that just an NPU?

  • choas

    Jump
  • The giant is easy. The ground is easy. The lava though... Do you want the particles to stick together? To visually connect? To collide with each other? To interact with dynamic objects?

  • Game design is a big part of this too. Particularly first person or other fine camera control feels very bad when mouse movement is lagging.

    I agree with what the other commenters are saying too, if it feels awful at 45 fps your 0.1% low frame rate is probably like 10 fps

  • In eastern US, first time using DDG on this device, it shows normal links (searched "Ukraine drone attack")

  • It is probably the most polished map. I would rather use something open source, but it makes sense why they switched.

  • Would be nice if it had a built in calculator and unit converter, that's a ddg feature I use a lot

  • Or large boulders (around the size of a small boulder) ?

  • I don't think Linux VR is particularly bad if you're using steamvr things. Unfortunately WMR on the other hand is much worse (they have to write custom drivers for tracking, and especially controllers are not that far along yet)

  • Computers are still advancing roughly exponentially, as they have been for the last 40 years (Moore's law). AI is being carried with that and still making many occasional gains on top of that. The thing with exponential growth is that it doesn't necessarily need to feel fast. It's always growing at the same rate percentage wise, definitionally.

  • People estimate ~100 million, which is still a lot. Of course it's worth noting that they weren't attempting to launch a payload or really recover much of anything, so the only real cost of failure is that they might need to launch more test flights later than they otherwise would have had to.

    Apparently estimated total development costs are probably a bit less than half of the Artemis program cost, although the Artemis program has actually developed a fully functional and reliable rocket by now. So it's hard to say if SpaceX's development method will be cheaper in the long run. (Discounting the later manufacturing costs because I don't see any reason why a more ULA, Blue Origin, or NASA-like development process wouldn't still be capable of producing a cheap rocket if that was the focus)

    Honestly losing to the US military industrial complex in development cost would be pretty embarrassing. (Congress makes NASA use all the MIC suppliers for their rockets)

  • You're still perfectly visible in shadows and reflections. Anyone who catches you in a mirror will see you completely naked.

    Ambient light occlusion counts too, the area covered by your feet looks perfectly black.

    Edit: You can create this scenario pretty easily in Blender. Here's what it might look like:
