Motion capture in Stalker 2 was done by obviously real human actors. It's a video game, so you're like "Oh cool, NPCs" but then you see the actual human actor behind the pixels and you're like "Oh. Pre-recorded movie."

The uncanny valley disappears and is instead replaced with mundane disappointment and a feeling of "cheapness". Of course they used human actors for the animation, why wouldn't they?

Never trade your magic of the unexplained for the easy disillusionment.

I'm a big believer in the Pareto Principle where 20% of the users are responsible for 80% of the content.

Lemmy is Reddit's Top 20%.

I'm so mad that my open source software made by a single developer in his free time who loves coding and helping other people is slightly worse in quality than a multi-million dollar dedicated project.

Yep. I do this all the time on highways. I've seen dark red traffic lines on Google Maps as I've driven over them turn green.

Patience and the efforts of a single person in a wavefront can make an enormous difference, like a rock sticking up from a pond.

Doom (1993).

Why: I'm still playing it. Most people know it, and it's the grandfather of all FPS games.

I like how no one on Lemmy has to be explained how that would crash the U.S economy. They just know. The average intelligence of this place surpasses Reddit at its inception.

Contrast that with my idiot Trump-voter "friends" who insist: "He's just bluffing"

I don't think their world view extends past the two meters in front of their nose, frankly. If they're not in pain on some isolated root base-ganglia, tooth-infection level, it just doesn't exist for them. A beastly existence.

Sorry: Just venting. Lost a lot of "friends" due to the last election. :/

Is file compression allowed?

E.g: 100 GB compressed, or uncompressed?

At the end of the universe, there is a café with the last known entities that persist. They exchange stories, favorite experiences and say their goodbyes to one another, ancient and forgotten.

There's a dreaded moment when straws are drawn or a volunteer is called to be the last one to turn off the lights -- to herald the calling of the next universe.

No one wants to do it however, because the last one has to do it alone.

It's in that quiet abyss, in the consuming darkness, the expanse and contracted void of dead light, where stars no longer shine, where trillions of lives existed and were extinguished -- that an epiphany can be had, as one celestial appendage holds over the reset toggle:

Everything matters. Even if no one is around to experience it.

I can't smell ants but I can smell roaches. Any house or restaurant I walk into that has that signature roach scent, I do a 180° and leave.

As to describe the scent of roaches: Pungent, wet/moldy towel smell, worse when they're dead.

Yoooo, this sub is based!

I have watched Klitschko in the ring at Madison Square Garden. He's a modern day Heracles. Insane upper body strength.

Nope. Just GPU board power draw. 60 seconds is also pretty long with how fast these enterprise cards are but I'm assuming they're using a giant 450B or 1270B model.

Paywalled -- any archive.is or guest links?

Woop, noted, thanks

They're probably factoring in cooling costs and a bunch of other overhead, I dunno

Datacenter LLM tranches are 7-8 H100s per user at full load which is around 4 kW.

Multiply that by generation time and you get your energy used. Say it takes 62 seconds to write an essay (a highly conservative figure).

That's 68.8 Wh, so you're right.

Monopoly was originally the Landlord's Game and was designed to teach children the dangers of unchecked monopolies and growth in the concentration of wealth.

Software and by extension, software companies are subject to those same Iron Laws of Oligarchy.

Given enough time, everything turns to shit, and it's up to younger, healthy, energized people to fight back the power creep.

My family survived a famine, 80% of them died in the Holodomor.

I've got literal famine resistance genes.

I now live in the United States with access to delivery food and extra cheese pepperoni pizza.
