- Comment on Nvidia "confirms" DLSS 5 relies on 2D frame data as testing reveals hallucinations 2 days ago:
The thing is, it’s not rushed. ‘AI’ as in what we call LLM today exists for quite a few years now and is just a tool which is used for a lot of I’ll fitting uses. Training also has its limits and it will not suddenly not hallucinate or get sentient.
Yet it was sold this way. It’s the sunk cost fallacy, stupidity and the attempt to cut literally every corner. And it’s failing hard.

Seriously, an organization that does this?
Wtf man. I understand protecting animals and going vegan. But stuff like that is just over the top and revolting. And I don’t even care much about cooking mama, which is / was a game ffs.

Also adds to this on multiple levels, yes. Eyesight for one but also with lower resolution the developer had to focus on what to display.

Indeed, still thought I’d chime in.
- Comment on I am only now discovering the sheer addictiveness of Sid Meier's Civilization. 1 week ago:
You’ve got a good point there that I am also often making when talking about gaming and maybe also trying to present gaming to non gamers.
There is so much implicit stuff grown over decades that for some series the barrier of entry is almost impossible for newbies. Be it the control scheme of some fifa or the complexity of a strategy game that just has to surpass its predecessor, not many developers consider this. Sometimes it’s even part of a reason for downfall.

This argument needs more trumpstein.
- Comment on Why are public school teachers so underpaid in the US? 1 week ago:
Not raising the education of the public is an easy control method and also easily keeps up the myth of the USA being such a great country while completely obviously contradicting itself.

By the way Microsoft was going the last 10 years you’ll have exactly your first paragraphs work on windows too, anyhow.
I am still running windows on a gaming only device but I am regularly amazed at the amount of effort that goes into breaking things.

Europe could also let the USA bonds default…

I see, they did the ‘new recipe!’ thing.
Thanks!

Hm. Bear with me. I’ve used jira on prem for a very long time and have used a multitude of other products.
Jira was quite good in comparison.
What am I missing?
(aside from the whole cloud requirement and atlassian behaving AI-shitty)

Yeaaah well. I’m just gonna say everything is free now.
- Comment on Are achievements still relevant in 2026—especially when mods disable them? 2 weeks ago:
Idgaf about achievements. It always was a scattered mess and (imo) epeen length comparison. I play for the experience and fun of it.
Ymmv. Have fun however you’re having it!

Yep, removing sexuality from humans would remove a lot of challenges.
(Also some positives. Don’t quote me on this)

Which is par for the course on current ‘AI’.
- Comment on It makes me shudder 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, sugar intake, I’m aware of that and fighting for a long time. But no, it’s officially no drug, hrhr. Fun stuff to look up, the sugar cartel.
Anyhow, my condition is okay but I’ve got too many neurological issues which basically make it impossible to read my own body, so that’s there, too.
- Comment on It makes me shudder 3 weeks ago:
Thanks, I found out that was the case whan I played mmorpg and assumed some bad English speakers were not native speaking, but they were. Interesting thing in fact.
Still, some things are lost with specific wording or also culturally - worst of all are the things that seem identical but are different (not the average false friends stuff).

Hm, maybe I should keep some dextrose on me then.
