  It’s the diminishing returns on additional processing power enabling them to look better, e.g. instead of unlocking entirely new effects that were obviously missing from games before, they’re just getting slightly more accurate. Also gpu prices inflated by crypto and AI mean top of the line gpus are less available in both PC and consoles.

  Let’s say you and I go toe-to-toe on bird law and see who comes out the victor.

  That shows a different cover, this is the cover that was modified: m.media-amazon.com/…/91jeN-jF02L._AC_UF1000,1000_…

  Yep, it’s just when they only do wage theft on the most disadvantaged employees that are the least likely to sue them or quit as a result.

  Could be really nice to have for seated VR games such as racing games if they can get the game to detect the display as a VR headset using steam vr or something.

  Original image is from Here Comes Peter Cottontail (1971) if anyone else was wondering.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI-generated phishing emails are getting very good at targeting executives⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Technically correct 😅

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨is feeling disrespected reason good enough to change jobs?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  People also quit because of low pay. I guess I’m lucky to have never had a bad manager, but that hasn’t stopped me from quitting 😅

  It’s a thing in New Zealand, where they actually cook in the geothermal springs, done traditionally by Maori in the area that has geothermal activity(they also dig a hole sometimes, not sure if that depends on the tribe or just what they’re cooking). Apparently there’s a restaurant that does it too: whakarewarewa.com/experiences-traditional-food/

  I haven’t tried it so can’t speak to the flavor, but Id imagine it would be somewhat sulphour flavoured, which doesn’t seem appealing, maybe it’s an acquired taste?

  Cesspool is an acceptable nickname

  Is it though?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do the ultra-rich consume popular media?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s kind of a dark comedy at times 😅

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do the ultra-rich consume popular media?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s a good video about this from Wisecrack_2 on YouTube: youtu.be/294qm3oV60s

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨But yes.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It can be done with boiling water, but it’s not very efficient.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨same as it ever was⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I guess this means Norsemen is more historically accurate than Vikings

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨your mom falls significantly faster than g⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I wonder how many frames per… picosecond you’d need to capture that on camera… And what zoom level you’d need to see it.

  I think the roughness of the surface of the bowling ball would have a bigger impact on the time…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are we building homes when so many are standing empty?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Should have a tax on empty houses, top dicincentivise land banking with properties that are unoccupied. That could also bring a means to take over properties where the owner is unknown, when the taxes are unpaid long enough.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨More trustworthy than what's currently on the road⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m over 30 and was only vaguely aware of it because it was mentioned once in a youtube video.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New Playstation firmware is going to make it harder to play games offline.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  But you’d still need to download the games onto the ps5 in the cabin in the woods, assuming this doesn’t apply to games on disc.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GOTY⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You’ve heard of correspondence chess, how about commode-ance chess?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do our brains process reality? I heard our eyes were just low-res cameras and our brains were doing all the heavy lifting in 'rendering' reality.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re right that is a continuous process, so there’s no frame rate as such. 24 fps is just the lowest framerate that doesn’t look “framey” in videos, but can go as low as 12 and still reliably perceive it as movement, which is why most stop motion films are done at 12fps.

  The amount of motion blur we see on fast moving objects is similar to a 24fps camera with a normal shutter angle setting, but we don’t perceive any blur when we turn our heads or move our eyes like a camera at that fps does.

  There’s also our reaction time, which can vary a lot depending on a plethora of factors, but averages around 250ms, which is similar to 4fps 😅

  They mostly just provide a good summary of various companies privacy policies, for whatever that’s worth 😅

  Oh I see, I guess the hype had died down by the time I was old enough to be aware of any.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Time Crisis Is Returning With A New AI Powered Gun That Works On Modern TVs | Retro Dodo⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The new part is using AI as a marketing buzzword, it was previously mostly just used as a descriptor to put complex systems in simple terms, but now it’s being used in marketing to pretend things have something like Data from Star Trek’s brain running them 😅
