- Comment on Are those of us who grew up on older games more attuned to latency? 11 hours ago:
I believe OP is referring to input latency, which isn't so much a result of the system slowing down due to increased load, as much as running in a consistently slowed-down state causing a delay on your inputs being reflected on-screen. There's several reasons for why this is happening more often lately.
Part of it has to do with the displays we use nowadays. In the past, most players used a CRT TV/monitor to play games, which have famously fast response times (the time between receiving the video signal and rendering that signal on the screen is nearly zero). But modern displays, while having a much crisper picture, often tend to be slower at the act of actually firing pixels on the screen, causing that delay between pressing Jump and seeing your character begin jumping.
Some games also strain their systems so hard that, after various layers of post-processing effects get applied to every rendered frame, the displayed frames are already "old" before they're even sent down the HDMI cable, resulting in a laggier feel for the player. You'll see this difference in action with games that have a toggle for a "performance/quality" mode in the graphics settings. Usually this setting will enable/disable certain visual effects, reducing the load on the system and allowing your inputs to be registered faster.

It's still a step up from iOS, which has had similar restrictions since they started.
- Comment on YouTube secretly tested AI video enhancement without notifying creators 1 day ago:
Although, this is a distinction without a difference—it's still AI of a sort being used to modify videos.
It's actually a big difference. "AI" is an almost meaningless term without specifying what type of AI it is. ChatGPT is an AI, Sora is an AI, the "magic eraser" in your photos app is an AI, the AOL chatbot "SmarterChild" was also AI. "AI" can mean almost anything even remotely adjacent to "machine learning" right now. Just calling a tool "AI" says literally nothing about what the tool is or what it does. This sort of reductive, dismissive attitude toward anything an author doesn't understand in tech articles is getting really worrying lately.

So your grandson has an understanding on the biology of reproduction, but is stumbled by the idea of adoption? I think the kid might be dumb, big chief.

The fact that your webwrapper frontend app, which could just add easily not exist and the core product will still work with 100% functionality, has up be updated so frequently is actually a bad thing, Elon. It means your developers can't code for shit. Probably because they're using Grok to code Grok.

@dual_sport_dork does a weekly-ish post in !pocketknife called Weird Knife Wednesday, where he talks about a weird knife from his collection. His reviews are often hilarious, sometimes heartwarming, and always entertaining. Even people who aren't knife nerds pop into his posts each week. Definitely worth reading them!

Who IS this "four chan"?

"4chan has broken no laws in the United States."
Pump the brakes, council. Are you sure that's how you want to say this? Because we all know that isn't 100% factual, at least not without some very significant qualifying criteria.

Launched an investigation? The answer is simple: Elon is a disgusting little bitch with too much money for his own good.
There. Didn't require a whole investigation, you guys. Holy shit, the government really is wasting resources these days.
