Destiny raids aren’t competitive PvP - it’s cooperative puzzle solving. The puzzles are designed to require communication and cooperation between a team of 6 people. Usually this works by having one player get the information that another player needs in some form.

It also helps if everyone is using meta loadouts or whatever, but that’s not the reason why voice chat is necessary.

I don’t think you understand - a core part of D2 raid mechanics is players needing to quickly and effectively share information with each other.

It’s things like player A needs to tell player B which of 5 buttons to press.

It’s possible to do this communication via the in-game text chat, but there’s a lot of reasons why voice chat is much more effective.

If it blends in your accent use “an university”

Yep turns out frequent use of pesticides kills the bugs we like just as well as the bugs we don’t like :/

If your problem with signal is that it isn’t self-hosted, just self-host it? It’s all open source.

They’ve had their ups and downs. Vaulting content is not the worst thing they’ve done.

Honestly I’m scared for Destiny 2. The game’s on the verge of death already and it’s just awaiting a nail in the coffin, which Sony could deliver at any time.

Yeah throwing a piece of sodium metal into water will cause a violent reaction. Even touching it with your finger is bad because of the moisture on your skin.

But sodium chloride (table salt) dissolves in water easily and safely, resulting in an aqueous solution including sodium ions.

I think if I ate 175 pounds of cured meat, the sodium isn’t what would kill me.

Voroni pattern. It shows up in nature all the time.

The game was sold other places (like the Humble store) without the PSN warning.

Also it’s been sold in countries that the PSN doesn’t support.

This is that “enlightened centrism” false equivalence.

I honestly can’t believe that in good faith you can compare Biden and Trump as equals.

One is a president whos platform is making minimal change.

The other is a president whos platform is to tear down democracy and human rights.

If you honestly can look at these two and say they are equal than I have to conclude you are at least indifferent to maintaining democracy and human rights.

I know the “counter argument” is about Biden and Israel/Gaza, but the thing is, that’s not really up for debate because I don’t believe there’s any chance Trump would be better about Gaza.

There are 2 options:

• death in Gaza and status quo in the US
• death in Gaza and loss of human rights and possibly our democracy in the US

Makes sense because if you want to make freely available code but want to allow commercial projects to use it you want to use a liberal license because if your code is copy left licensed businesses won’t want to use it.

I’ve seen this in action: I’ve seen a business reject working with one research group because their code was copyleft licensed, so instead they turned to another group offering a liberally licensed competitor.

Lmfao I actually wrote that by hand but it does kinda look AI generated

libvlc uses libavcodec

VLC relays on ffmpeg for a lot of video decoding, as do lots of other media programs. Go look up the legal notice on your TV and there’s a good chance the ffmpeg licensing information is in there.

Short answer: Neural Networks and other “machine learning” technologies are inspired by the brain but are focused on taking advantage of what computers are good at. Simulating actual neurons is possible but not something computers are good at so it will be slow and resource intensive.

Long Answer:

1. Simulating neurons is fairly complex. Not impossible; we can simulate microscopic worms, but simulating a human brain of 100 billion neurons would be a bit much even for modern supercomputers
2. Even if we had such a simulation, it would run much slower than realtime. Note that such a simulation would involve data sent between networked computers in a supercomputing cluster, while in the brain signals only have to travel short distances. Also what happens in the brain as a simple chemical release would be many calculations in a simulation.
3. “Training” a human brain takes years of constant input to go from a baby that isn’t capable of much to a child capable of speech and basic reasoning. Training an AI simulation of a human brain is at least going to take that long (plus longer given that the simulation will be slower)
4. That human brain starts with some basic programming that we don’t fully understand
5. Theres a lot more about the human brain we don’t fully understand

If you’ve got a better plan I’m all ears, but I’ve never seen any actual alternative proposed.

I know. It’s obviously better for the consumer, but it makes it harder to base your business around it, as noted in that article.

So if I want to build a business, I have to look for libraries that are not copy left, and if I want businesses to use my software, I should not license my software as copy left.

The problem with a copyleft license is it’s hard to make a commercial software open source because a competitor can simply copy your work and sell it for cheaper.

You don’t get to make a “US Defaultism” comment after implying you had the right to vote in the U.S. election.
