Wow you just shined a ton of light on a problem my company had. We wanted to implement a medical imaging system from one of their subsidiaries, and it took an average of 3 months for the salesperson to respond to EACH of our emails

Lots of people ITT complaining that Lemmy is blanket anti-business, meanwhile I’m just surprised that something involving Nintendo isn’t being downvoted into oblivion
This place is getting more diverse, I like it

You’re welcome, you caught me at a good time lol I’m currently playing through the series (currently on Tooie) after not touching them since childhood
Usually, the N64’s C-buttons get mapped to the Switch’s right stick, which is actually perfect for these games since they mainly control the camera and aiming
- Comment on Yooka-Laylee: A Patient Gamer Review 1 month ago:
Is Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts a good representation of the series?
Definitely not. While I do enjoy Nuts and Bolts, it’s like they took all the good aspects of the N64 games and thought “ok but what if cars?”.
Or is the original Banjo-Kazooie (or its sequel) so good that I should look past the age of the game and give it a go?
Definitely yes. The official N64 emulator on the Switch has Banjo Kazooie and I think it’s a great way to play it. The controls translate to a Switch Pro controller pretty well and the graphics look nice, except for the text dialogue.
RetroArch with the Mupen64-Plus Next core and the ParraLLEl plugins also run Kazooie & Tooie without issues

The dual stage triggers made it the dream controller for Rocket League IMO. Mapping boost to the second stage freed up my right thumb to control other things

There are different kinds of infinity
“Countably infinite” means an infinitely-large set of numbers that could be generated by infinitely following an algorithm with a finite number of steps. For example, integers/whole numbers are countably infinite because they could be generated by following this simple algorithm:
- Start with the number 1
- Add 1 to your number
- Repeat step 2
The set of real numbers, on the other hand, is uncountably infinite because you can have an infinite number of digits after the decimal place. You can’t define a finite generation algorithm like the one above simply because any precision you use wouldn’t cover the full range. In other words, if you wanted to modify the above algorithm, and chose 0.1 as your starting number, your algorithm would miss 0.01. If you chose to start at 0.01, you would miss 0.001, and so on

- Comment on Whistleblower 'would not' put family on Boeing 787 jet 2 months ago:
The government has already stepped in several times. If you’re in the mood to get mad, read up on the results of these interventions. Basically, Boeing was almost forced to deal with actual oversight, but was able to convince the government at the last minute that they could handle the oversight themselves internally (thanks to the wonderful process of lobbying of course)
- Comment on Court Bans Use of 'AI-Enhanced' Video Evidence Because That's Not How AI Works 2 months ago:
Ok but before you go, just want to make sure you know that this statement of yours is incorrect:
In the strictest technical terms AI, ML and Deep Learning are district, and they have specific applications
Actually, they are not the distinct, mutually exclusive fields you claim they are. ML is a subset of AI, and Deep Learning is a subset of ML. AI is a very broad term for programs that emulate human perception and learning. As you can see in the last intro paragraph of the AI wikipedia page (whoa, another source! aren’t these cool?), some examples of AI tools are listed:
including search and mathematical optimization, formal logic, artificial neural networks, and methods based on statistics, operations research, and economics
Some of these - mathematical optimization, formal logic, statistics, and artificial neural networks - comprise the field known as ML. If you’ll remember from my earlier citation about artificial neural networks, “deep learning” is when artificial neural networks have more than one hidden layer. Thus, DL is a subset of ML is a subset of AI (wow, sources are even cooler when there’s multiple of them that you can logically chain together! knowledge is fun).
Anyways, good day :)

LLMs are artificial neural networks

A network is typically called a deep neural network if it has at least 2 hidden layers
- Comment on Court Bans Use of 'AI-Enhanced' Video Evidence Because That's Not How AI Works 2 months ago:
Sorry, it’s just that I work in a field where making distinctions is based on math and/or logic, while you’re making a distinction between AI- and non-AI-based image interpolation based on opinion and subjective observation
- Comment on Court Bans Use of 'AI-Enhanced' Video Evidence Because That's Not How AI Works 2 months ago:
Interesting example, because tickets issued by automated cameras aren’t enforced in most places in the US. You can safely ignore those tickets and the police won’t do anything about it because they know how faulty these systems are and most of the cameras are owned by private companies anyway.
“Readable” is a subjective matter of interpretation, so again, I’m confused on how exactly you’re distinguishing good & pure fictional pixels from bad & evil fictional pixels
- Comment on Court Bans Use of 'AI-Enhanced' Video Evidence Because That's Not How AI Works 2 months ago:
Normie, layman… as you’ve pointed out, it’s difficult to use these words without sounding condescending (which I didn’t mean to be). The media using words like “hallucinate” to describe linear algebra is necessary because most people just don’t know enough math to understand the fundamentals of deep learning - which is completely fine, people can’t know everything and everyone has their own specialties. But any time you simplify science so that it can be digestible by the masses, you lose critical information in the process, which can sometimes be harmfully misleading.
- Comment on Court Bans Use of 'AI-Enhanced' Video Evidence Because That's Not How AI Works 2 months ago:
Both insert pixels that didn’t exist before, so where do we draw the line of how much of that is acceptable?
- Comment on Court Bans Use of 'AI-Enhanced' Video Evidence Because That's Not How AI Works 2 months ago:
Everyone uses the word “hallucinate” when describing visual AI because it’s normie-friendly and cool sounding, but the results are a product of math. Very complex math, yes, but computers aren’t taking drugs and randomly pooping out images because computers can’t do anything truly random.
You know what else uses math? Basically every image modification algorithm, including resizing. I wonder how this judge would feel about viewing a 720p video on a 4k courtroom TV because “hallucination” takes place in that case too.

Which really wouldn’t be that bad if instances were more clear about how they operate. Like, on the user signup page, there should be a big ol checkbox saying “I UNDERSTAND THAT ANYTHING THATS NOT A POSITIVE POST ABOUT COMMUNISM WILL GET ME BANNED” or whatever

- Comment on 23-year-old Nintendo interview shows how little things have changed in gaming 3 months ago:
The Switch came out right around when people were bitching about phones getting rid of headphone jacks, which the Switch does have. I really don’t see the problem with including a headphone jack from the start, focusing on releasing a stable system first, and adding Bluetooth headphone support later.
Adding Bluetooth audio support is not as simple as slapping a bluetooth radio in your system, especially when you have a custom operating system like the Switch’s

Pre-smartphones, my parents were always yelling at my brothers and I to stop texting at the dinner table.
Post-smartphones, it’s now vice-versa and unless we remind them to put their phones on silent beforehand, their phones inevitably erupt in alarms at full volume reminding them to call Marianne back or whatever

1 decent exclusive every other year
Absolutely hyperbole. Just last year, we got Tears of the Kingdom, Mario Wonder, Pikmin 4, and Advance Wars Reboot. Doesn’t matter if these aren’t your kind of games, they sold well, were critically acclaimed, and won awards.
lag behind the industry by 5-10 years
For graphics, sure. For creativity, accessibility, and all the other things that matter in video games? They lead the industry

Author is a doofus, but there is one context in which I sorta agree with this sentiment.
It drives me up the wall when, according to my browser, a page is done loading, so I go to click on something and bam, a subscription/cookie/whatever popup appears and steals my click in the millisecond between when I decided to click and when my finger reacted.
