Decent I think, as long as you don’t want to use XeSS

Yes, looks like it’ll usually be pulling 20 watts or less. Still a lot though

This guy has one already through the developer program and make a few videos about it https://youtube.com/watch?v=MbFGt-KUv9M

Sure, I could definitely see situations where it would be useful, but I’m fairly confident that no current games are doing that. First of all, it is a whole lot easier said than done to get real-world data for that type of thing. Even if you manage to find a dataset with positions of various features across various biomes and train an AI model on that, in 99% of cases it will still take a whole lot more development time and probably be a whole lot less flexible than manually setting up rulesets, blending different noise maps, having artists scatter objects in an area, etc. It will probably also have problems generating unusual terrain types, which is a problem if the game is set in a fantasy world with terrain that is unlike what you would find in the real world. So then, you’d need artists to come up with a whole lot of datat to train the model with, when they could just be making the terrain directly. I’m sure Google DeepMind or Meta AI whatever or some team of university researchers could come up with a way to do ai terrain generation very well, but game studios are not typically connected to those sorts of people, even if they technically are under the same company of Microsoft or Meta.

You can get very far with conventional procedural generation techniques, hydraulic erosion, climate simulation, maybe even a model of an ecosystem. And all of those things together would probably still be much more approvable for a game studio than some sort of machine learning landscape prediction.

I don’t know of any games that use machine learning for procedural generation and would be slightly surprised if there are any. But there is a little bit of a distinction there because that is required at runtime, so it’s not something an artist could possibly be involved in.

you can download the arch wiki on kiwix (for android), it’s like 30 megabytes

Are there any alternatives that are decently fast for large files? My computer and my phone both get at least 300 mbps from the router, and I have yet to find a local file transfer application that will be anywhere near that fast for large files (destiny, local send, kde connect, might have tried others, I don’t remember)

the gpu is weak, but with proper foveated rendering it is absolutely good enough I think

I’m someone who has gotten sick in cars before (rarely) but I have done a lot of crazy stuff on VR and never felt remotely sick. I’m an outlier though

As a native English speaker I certainly won’t process the words of a lot of songs without a conscious effort

Lyrics are so often indecipherable as well. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jGLYJQJh9c8

One that I remember is that I had heard the song “believer” a number of times before learning its name, I always thought they were saying “pick me up and pick me up and leave me, and leave me”. I don’t think I even tried to decypher the rest lol

I think the “proper” way to simplify it is would’ve, which is pronounced the same as ‘would of’

A lot of mistakes have just become incorporated into the language in the past. Maybe ‘would of’ is just too blatantly wrong for that to ever happen though

Maybe not really a ‘mistake’, more of a normal shortening but my personal favorite english-ism is “bye” being descended directly from “god be with you”. People just kept collapsing it more and more over time.

Edit: also “a pease” -> “peas” -> “a pea”

Freecad is pretty good, but unfortunately there’s no foss cad software that’s better. If you don’t care about foss, I would recommend onshape if you’re fine with the “public by default” thing, else fusion360.

For art, blender is great. Plasticity seems neat too, it’s a more traditional software licensing model (pay per version I think, not cheap not insanely expensive)

this game is great, i installed it just now. I heard the game is bad, but even still, i assumed the ui problems must have been from running the game through proton. but no, it’s literally just that bad

also, on wikipedia there’s a picture of the truck climbing a steep mountain. but what it doesn’t show is that the truck actually goes much faster up steep mountains than over flat land because the physics system is terrible and the car doesn’t slow down at all horizontally when it starts moving vertically.

It says in the article

15% of these subreddits contained content likely posted by bots or corporate trolls specifically designed to promote companies or organizations.

The title is just misinfo I guess

GPU stuff and ideally easier parallelism. The same binary could be executed on a GPU from any vendor, any CPU, anything that supports OpenCL, and could maybe even be extended to support FPGAs in the future.

On the high performance compute / GPGPU side the AdaptiveCPP JIT compiler seems very good for cross-platform operation

look at EV prices in china for a more accurate depiction of the battery progress that is being made

apparently the government EV subsidy for outright purchases ended in 2022, but they’re good enough at the manufacturing now that EVs are still exceptionally cheap. 70-80% of world lithium-ion production also takes place in China, so it makes sense.

There’s a lot of reasons that I don’t like the Chinese government, but they have been doing a whole lot better than the rest of the world with investment into the future of technology from what I’ve seen. The number of top-rated CS and EE schools in China is doing a whole lot on its own.

they’re actively manufactured for consumers, and cheap and available enough to be relatively competitive with lithium ion on there

i hope isdt releases a firmware update for the q6 nano for that if RC sodium ion packs become available.

although afaik energy density per volume and weight isn’t quite there yet

I do feel like unseriousness/unsophisticatedness is generally frowned upon here. Usually things are more debate than conversation

Idk, people just seem a lot more relaxed on like nerdy public discords for example

Ok, just read the artlce cited on wikipedia and it sounds like calling him a Trump supporter is a bit of an exaggeration. He seems basically centrist. Which is not great but not nearly as bad.
