As someone with 5,000 hours logged into virtual reality as of 2025, your comment leaves me a little confused. 😵💫
You mean “VR Ready” as like, a marketing terminology, right?
Because high-quality, full-body motion tracking virtual reality is available to everyone today for around $3,000-$5,000. It used to cost $140,000 in 1996.

Hell yeah, I love scientists 😎
You’re right 👍
I guess this makes me an engineer using FP4 and not FP64

F = M×A
So if your F and A are constants (e.g: Where A is the gravity of the Earth) you solve for M.
Also known as a balancing scale.
Magrail works too.

The enormous irony here would be if the author used a generative tool to write the article criticizing them, and whoever commented that he doesn’t get the point is exactly right – it’s like 6 to 10 pages of analogies to unrelated topics.

“Not joking nor serious” is either facetiousness or sarcasm.
In either case, it’s a black flag for Machiavellianism (belief in the superiority of oneself and/or inferiority of others) which is on the Dark Triad Cluster of antisocial behavior.
Someone pulls that shit IRL, don’t trust them.

Oh holy shit.
I think you’re actually right, it’s probably Denuvo tanking performance
- Comment on ‘Doom: The Dark Ages’ DRM Is Locking Out Linux Users Who Bought the Game 2 weeks ago:
You have to enable HDR in the Windows 10 settings, do Win+I, type “HD Color”, and then set your AMD display drivers to “Color Correction” in Display to adjust for the bad Win10 HDR implementation.
My recommendation is:
Temperature: 10000 Brightness: -10 Hue: 0 (default) Contrast: 120 Saturation: 165
Then enable HDR in Dark Ages, followed by FSR and Frame Gen, if you want.
HDR is the key.
- Comment on ‘Doom: The Dark Ages’ DRM Is Locking Out Linux Users Who Bought the Game 2 weeks ago:
I have FSR working (Win10+ AMD 7900XTX), but it’s obvious that they have screwed the pooch in optimization.
I just finished Doom: Eternal yesterday before the Dark Ages came out and it ran fully maxed out at 1440p @ 240 FPS without upscaling and was gorgeous.
Dark Ages looks pretty much the same as Eternal, but runs at 120-144 FPS.
That’s still absolutely playable but how did it lose 50% performance in an IDTech game?

As a long time DooM fan, the constant “use fire hook with double barrel shotgun for armor” got really old, really fast.
If you didn’t do it on the higher difficulty settings, like Ultra-Violence, you simply died.
I’m actually hoping they take a page from HeXen for this installment

If you are using CPU only, you need to look at very small models or the 2-bit quants.
Everything will be extremely slow otherwise.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
I don’t know what GPU you’ve got, but Lexi V2 is the best “small model” I’ve seen with emotions, that I can just cite from the top of my head.
It tends to skew male and can be a little dark at times, but it’s more complex than expected for the size (8B feels like 48-70B).
Do Q8_0 if you’ve got the VRAM, Q5_KL for speed, IQ2 or IQ3 if you’ve got a potato.

My answer to this is yes.
I’m an AI Developer and my only option was to self host because I didn’t want my training data leaking out onto the web and by extension, China and the rest (I trained on my own data, writing, and notes, along with Wikipedia).
Self-hosting gives you complete freedom but also as one other user cautioned, don’t fall down the well/rabbit hole.

Use an executable like LM Studio, and then an off the shelf pre-trained model from Huggingface.
VRAM × 0.8 for max size.
Experiment until you find one you like.

Well, you are absolutely correct. A 1-2% DoD is something for like, the Voyager Probe though, not a smartphone :)

I charge wired (high speed, 18-22W). Wireless is known to be a lot slower and theoretically gentler on the battery.
I also use the phone heavily, like a computer, I’m a “power user”, so my battery thrashing is higher than average.
Us having the same durability lost on our engine despite me driving double the miles is a good analogy.

Depth of Discharge, sorry – 0 to 100 would be a 100% depth (the entire battery), 30 to 80 is 50%.

"Sure, I can help answer this. Psychopaths are useful for a civilization or tribe because they weed out the weak and infertile, for instance, the old man with the bad leg, thus improving fitness."Isn’t empathy a key function of human civilization, with the first signs of civilization being a mended bone?
I'm sorry, I can't help you with that. My model is being constantly updated and improved. - Comment on They should suffer 1 month ago:

No the great filter is quite a lot more basic than that, things like unstable atmospheres, cosmic ray bursts, collisions, etc.
You’re on the right track though
- Comment on Skill issue 2 months ago:
You’re absolutely correct, I had a similar experience
I played CS for roughly the same amount of time; my clan ranges from DMG to Global, but we had a rule that if you were in the clan, we’d 5-man with you regardless of your rank, so if you were Silver, you’d have a chance to rub elbows and learn strategies from the higher skilled players.
Then we got a Global, a girl named Moon.
Holy hell, it’s like people’s brains did a 180°, they were incredibly mean to her, for no reason, and eventually it came out that she was trans, and they bullied her even worse, out of the server.
I kicked everyone who bullied/demonized Moon for being trans; because at the end of the day, it was about being a honest human being, and not just a CS player/gamer.
