Don't forget Meatball Ron while we're at it.

Has no one here ever used a debit card?

Or a debit card...

Well, if each universe itself is infinite, then there are infinite planets, meaning the number of planets that are not earth is infinite. So, if there are infinite universes that are, themselves, infinite, then the infinity of universes that do not contain earth is infinitely larger than the infinity of universes that do.

With infinite universes, every possible eventuality is realized an infinite number of times. There are infinite universes without earth and infinite universes with it.

VTOL VR is awesome too. The problem with a lot of games that support VR is they don't support the controllers to the same extent. Playing VR with an Xbox controller instead of the motion tracking Index controllers just ain't the same.

I guess I'm wondering if there's some way to bake the contextual understanding into the model instead of keeping it all in vram. Like if you're talking to a person and you refer to something that happened a year ago, you might have to provide a little context and it might take them a minute, but eventually, they'll usually remember. Same with AI, you could say, "hey remember when we talked about [x]?" and then it would recontextualize by bringing that conversation back into vram.

Seems like more or less what people do with Stable Diffusion by training custom models, or LORAs, or embeddings. It would just be interesting if it was a more automatic process as part of interacting with the AI - the model is always being updated with information about your preferences instead of having to be told explicitly.

But mostly it was just a joke.

It's amazing the way you NOTICE TWO THINGS.

Basically, the more vram you have, the better the contextual understanding, their memory is. Otherwise you’d have a bot that maybe knows to only contextualize the last couple messages.

Hmm, if only there was some hardware analogue for long-term memory.

Yes, who knows? If only someone had transcribed the article into the lemmy post and mentioned armed security in the third sentence. But I guess since that didn't happen, we'll never know if the Governor's home is protected at all times by the Massachusetts State Police.

The population is in the screenshot. The guy on reddit who does the benchmarks has better hardware than I do and uses a slightly bigger city, and he gets 60+ fps average depending on settings.

I'll quote you again...

best existing hardware its not running without scratches the 20 fps line from below on lowest settings

Maybe just, like, don't make shit up. K? You're making me take CO's "toxicity" statement a little more seriously.

You really think someone would do that? Just go on the internet and tell lies?

Yeah, I love the game, but I'll absolutely admit it was released too early. The simulation is broken in multiple ways, but it appears to be fixable as evidenced by progress in patches and some mods as well. Then again, personally, I'm glad I have the opportunity to play it now rather than waiting another year, even in the state it's in. The cities I've been building are very satisfying, and like you said the road tools are a dream.

My mid-high tier hardware from 5 years ago runs it maxed out with LOD and anti-aliasing turned up higher than the default "high" preset at 20-40 fps.

Expectations that people made up in their heads. If you followed any of the pre-release media, you knew exactly what you were getting, including the performance issues.

I'm creating cities that look way better than anything I was able to make in CS1 even with all the DLCs, dozens of mods and hundreds of custom assets. Saying this game sucks is a dead giveaway that you've never actually played it. There are problems, sure, and CO's communication has been... awkward. But, the game itself is quite playable and enjoyable.

Of course!

I mean I have 64 GB but I'm not wasting it on browser tabs. I've got people at work who never close anything, they'll have 15 tabs, 28 PDFs and 7 Excel spreadsheets open 24/7 because it takes them an hour to remember where they saved them otherwise.

Literally me when I hear them complain about their slow computer:

I was in the same boat as you about 5 years ago - I had been stubbornly using iTunes, but it was so slow and the store was just an annoyance, it was getting in the way of me actually listening to my music. I ended up choosing MusicBee over Winamp or foobar2000 because it has all the library management stuff (even a sync to mobile device function) and a great interface right out of the box.
