Yes and no.

Yes, there is a large amount of circular money on the books.

But also they’ve induced a FOMO race to buy hardware where all the big tech companies are selling off chunks and raising money/debt as fast as possible to acquire more GPUs, lest they lose out on the AI race.

The cost to train a bigger model scales exponentially with increased performance (in theory, with current architecture). So you can only beat your competitors by buying a multiples mire GPU than them.

NVIDIA is making money, they’re also inducing demand by juicing the race to try and build that FOMO.

Unfortunately these companies are paying 20x more than consumers are for the same wafers, so for the allocation of RAM to become favourable to keep consumer lever RAM production running prices will need to increase at least that much.

This is why they restrict Mythos and similar.

They want the vulnerability machine, and they don’t want you to have it.

You guys have phones right?

I don’t think there’s any way this works out AND Xbox lives. I do remember my old Windows Phone with my little Xbox avatar guy waving to me as I open sudoku. I guess that’s what Xbox becomes.

But I don’t know this’ll work.

I guess you have to look if LoL Wild Rift was a success, because that would be the closest thing to a template for this.

You get a billion users on FarmVille type shit.

Why? You can put FarmVille in a browser or phone in front of a billion users.

They’re going to need to sell a lot of X boxes to get AAA size games in front of people.

I think it’s pretty reasonable. I just wish they’d gone a little more aggressive for their performance goals.

Everything else, from the clean design, open specs, etc. is great.

I foresee what happens is consumer level hardware just stops getting made, except devices like phones and tablets.

Oh, you wanted DDR5? We stopped making that. Hyperscalers pay a 20x markup for the same wafers. You want a motherboard? Sorry, demand dried up and we don’t make them.

You can rent our computers through GeForce Now and stream straight to your iPad though!

I do not disagree, it’s too easy to ship unoptimized crap in the name of shipping velocity

:|

Not surprising, I’m actually a bit shocked they pushed the 4k thing so hard when they had chosen this config a while ago.

Sucks for valve. I was hoping this thing would be a knockout just a little pricey due to ramagedon.

At half the price this would be more attractive. I’m sure it’ll get dev support like the deck. But it’s hard to be excited for last gen perf at higher prices.

You can and it works very well now

If you install home brew 90% of the issues go away.

The problem is that most Linux software assumes it can do whatever it wants, and immutable distros do not let you write to the system files.

This creates confusion, because you see a guide for Fedora and it said dnf install xyz, but dnf doesn’t work. The solution is to add it to your image tree (no) or to create a toolbox with that package (complicated, requires setup, gets complicated if your tool needs access to Wayland for clipboard or something).

Bazzite solves this by using brew, which is a package manager built for macOS which has had immutable systems for years. Brew solves most of the issues.

For me by the time I went immutable it just made more sense to go full declarative with nix, but nix is also a steeper learning curve.

Why nerf infinities?

I like them… I went on the Reddit once and a lot of the setups required custom game modes.

It’s not like a competitive pvp game, trying to break it is most of the fun for me.

The RNG stuff is interesting, it won’t be fun to dive into that. I don’t know if I want to watch an 8 hour video though

Why did they announce TES6 anyways?

Like, I thought it wind be 2-3 years out from announcement. This is kind of insane.

GT6 is pretty similar too.

~100gb with images and the max image.

Asides from my kiwix clone of Wikipedia, in the apocalypse there’s not much value to most of the things I self host.

I self host backups, code forge, some AI tools (all my AI chat and completion are local now).

But realistically, in an apocalypse situation I’m going to leave my suburban home and migrate somewhere safer and more directly connected to food+shelter, and probably spend my days dealing with trying to survive.

My self hosting is primarily designed around avoiding US based tools and systems, so that I have more control over privacy and don’t find policy I disagree with.

Yeah, hockey and baseball cards used to be fine, then they became speculative assets.

Now, you have YouTube videos of kids opening packs and talking about how much they’re worth.

It’s fucking gambling. I did some work for that industry, 80% of sales were from addicts. I’m talking about people spending thousands a week on baseball/basketball/football cards. People openly talked about it in the industry as gambling. I’ve personally seen the numbers.

It’s fucking gambling.

Hurray, just charge a subscription and you’re exempt! Make micro transactions a practical necessity and you’re exempt!

This is going to make the industry so much better!!!

/s these exceptions are going to create a whole cancer on the games industry.

I feel like that well describes a border collie.

Wants to do stuff, but if you don’t attend they’ll find stuff to do.

This one does not spark joy for me

How do you know when you have a coloured orb vs there being colour under the cursor?

That actually looks okay
