Maybe that makes it a separate thing then if people can’t recognize the original context, what movie is this even from
- Comment on I agree 1 week ago:
Even if it wasn’t perfect, there is legitimate appeal in a past where our lives were not dictated by abstract bureaucratic systems and better resembled our natural environment. We didn’t evolve to live this way and the only way we can is by contorting our minds into deeply uncomfortable arrangements and constraining our actions to what is demanded.

It doesn’t look like it is literally shutting down, just ceasing development:
“With that update, we also intend to release the game out of early access and make it free for any players who want to check it out in the future. We are also investigating offering refunds to players who have purchased the game.”

First I’ve heard of it. Is it any good?
- Comment on Toilets: to caulk or not to caulk? 1 month ago:
However, leaks are usually noticed from the floor below the toilet when looking up. Leaks under the tub are often found in the same way. In apartments, it is common for the tenant below to be the one who first notices a problem.
Ugh, been there
- Comment on What type of computer setup would one need to run ai locally? 3 months ago:
If your focus is LLMs, get a 3090 gpu. Vram is the most important thing here because it determines what models you can load and run at a decent speed, and having 24Gb will let you run the mid range models that specifically target this amount of memory because of this being a very standard amount to have for hobbyists. These models are viable for coding, the smaller ones are less so. Looking at prices it seems like you can get this card for 1-2k depending on if you go used or refurbished. I don’t know if better price options are going to be available soon but with the ram shortage and huge general demand it kind of doesn’t seem like it.
If you want to focus on image or video generation instead, I understand that there are advantages to going with newer generation cards because certain features and speed is more of a factor than just vram but I know less about this.

When I see this type of thing my default assumption is the actual source is ChatGPT. The article is attributed to “the editorial team” but that link just goes to a list of other articles and credits no-one. But somehow they’re putting out like 20 a day, all of them similarly lacking sources or authors, and only linking to other articles on the same site.

I wonder how many people living below the poverty line have substantial investments in the stock market though

Yeah he is just being a huge asshole in this presentation, basically shitting on all art that plays on reactions of horror to uncanny movements, there’s no meaningful commentary on technology here.
