Depends on what state you’re in, but yeah. Sometimes stuff like GTA might as well be a documentary for how people react here XD

You can using the steam beta builds feature. I believe it’s the earliest one.

That’s a self-inflicted wound brother. It’s like playing a leaked copy of a game before release.

Tbf the only broken multiplayer is on the opt in unstable branch. It’s not like b41 mp vanished.

…and multiplayer, overhauled animations, 3d models, new textures, and mods galore :)

In that case, I guess that potential vector is moot. Although it could be that data wasn’t available until recent training of the weights.

Not necessarily color theory, but archived comics from the 1970s and prior tend to be yellowed due to time in their original prints (which were then scanned). It could also be the colors available to print artists at the time which were more muted compared to today.

Ah in terms of the Steam inventory API, it’s completely unregulated. All purchases are steam platform only, but trades between players are unmonitored (with the exception of requiring both sides to authenticate the trade).

Unlikely? There are 3rd party websites that allow liquidation, but that’s all outside of Valve’s sites. The closest you can get to liquidation officially is buying Valve hardware like a Steam Deck with your store credit, but they don’t ship steam hardware to russia.

Californian here, same with the states unfortunately…

They started their business in there a while ago (I believe they were the first online distributor who managed to succeed in the Russian market, despite media fears of mass piracy), and I would imagine that revoking all of the users’ Steam Libraries wouldn’t be a popular move, or terminating all their accounts.
I’m not sure why they continued purchases after 2022 though. Maybe their Eastern Europe payment processor doesn’t ask too many questions?

When I made my example, I used an algebraic expression, but yeah, the original question was arithmetic, sorry. Not very good at explaining things XD
- Comment on I dunno 6 days ago:
Fair enough, I’ve heard “math problem” and “math equation” used interchangeably.
Also you would be surprised how many people do not know basic algebra, at least in the US rofl
- Comment on I dunno 6 days ago:
Technically roots are a form of exponent, just fractional (square root is power of 1/2, for instance). I can see how it could be easier to conceptualize when you break it down like that though. Neat to see the differences compared to the US breakdown :)

Some forms of programming syntax, although there are the fringe cases where an equation is represented by a symbol in conjunction with a parentheses input.
For example:
y(x) = 2x+3
5+y(1) = 10, as 1 is substituted in for x in the prior equation.
- Comment on I dunno 6 days ago:
Presuming PEMDAS is our order of operations and the 5 next to the parentheses indicates multiplication…
2+5(8-5) -> 2+5(3) -> 2+15=17
Other than adding a multiplication indicator next to parentheses for clarification (I believe it’s * for programming and text chat purposes, a miniature “x” or dot for pen and paper/traditional calculators), this seems fine, yeah.
…I worry about how many people may not understand solving equations like these.

The market will - and it’d be foolish to underestimate the market forces valve will spark by making viable alternatives mass market.

Used market prices, probably. An 8GB VRAM video card and an appropriate CPU that wouldn’t bottleneck performance could easily fit under $500. I guess nowadays the RAM would be the hangup lol.

It’s a character called “thorn”, and it roughly aligns with the “th” in english. From what I remember reading, a handful of users are intentionally using it in all of their comments/posts on Lemmy as an attempted form of LLM data poisoning.

I’m 100% an outsider on the topic, so I’d definitely defer to the wikipedia article. Feel free to let me know if there’s any holes I should patch in the post though.

My father is a history teacher - and he inspired me to always keep learning about every part of the world that I can (and also about unique hobbies and technical fields, since I aspire to be an engineer).
I have to thank him again for all the amazing books he shared with me (and techniques for analyzing sources on the internet).
- Comment on Had to look this up 2 weeks ago:
Definitely.
