Ah, ok. I see that now. That sucks.
- Comment on Did 70% of Wisconsin voters just delete their own constitutional guarantee to be eligible to vote? 1 week ago:
Doesn’t this change the meaning of the statement so much that it’s no longer true that every citizen of age who is a resident is eligible to vote?
I don’t see how it would, but maybe I’m not seeing what you’re seeing. The eligibility of the people in the article did not change. “Only” vs “Every” still includes the same group of people.
What did change was the explicit exclusion of people outside of those qualifiers. This could potentially make challenging votes of “questionable” voters that much more impactful or difficult to defend against, and maybe make adjusting the existing qualifiers harder (the only one I can really think of is age), but that depends on WI’s amendment process, which I don’t know.
- Comment on what should one archive in a fascist regime? 1 week ago:
Depends on who’s in charge. 50%+ of the internet seems to be hosted by amazon and musk rules his little fiefdom. The call to be proactive isn’t unreasonable.
- Comment on Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 will NOT have Denuvo on PC 1 week ago:
It’s not so much “built in” asit is just included by dev/pub request. Lots of games don’t: pcgamingwiki.com/…/The_big_list_of_DRM-free_games…
- Comment on This is the most annoying thing I've ever seen 1 week ago:
This shit is why I resist proprietary apps like this as much as I can. Removing functionality from the website and hiding it behind an app is so shitty and I’m not playing along just so they can sell of the info they get from it.
- Comment on I'm going to try not to swear when you're around. Is this a good apology to a coworker? 1 week ago:
Not everything is about what we’re “required” to do. If op wants to apologize, why try and talk them out of it?
- Comment on Ubisoft boss says it knows players think it has an 'inconsistency in quality,' so it delayed Assassin's Creed Shadows to flip that script 1 week ago:
I have enough shit to go around.

Depends on how you view the monarchy, I suppose.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Why doubt? The party has made it part of their platform to distrust the voting process. It sounds like a threat because it is one.
- Comment on Yep, it's me 2 weeks ago:
It was pretty fluid, easy to understand.

More interesting question - why is ice slippery?

I’m unclear what the gameplay will be like. The vibe feels like something between DRG and Outlast Trials?

Not much to go on, but glad to see something about it!

Some states have lifetime DL terms, while others are still ridiculously long.
- Comment on Goddammit Texas! 4 weeks ago:
That’s fucking dumb. I hope you’re able to rectify it. Sorry you have to deal with that shit.
- Comment on Goddammit Texas! 4 weeks ago:
Won’t matter if it pushes it past Jan 6th and the vote isn’t certified.
- Comment on Why don't we have cool vending machines in the US? 5 weeks ago:
That one is actually pretty hot.
- Comment on Microsoft's LinkedIn: If our AI gets it wrong, that's your problem 5 weeks ago:
On the one hand, putting absolute faith into an llm and regurgitating anything it says as fact is just stupidity manifest. On the other, holding customers liable for their own shitty llm is hilariously duplicitous.
Maybe, if this is a known issue, LI shouldn’t be pushing this crap on their platform in the first place, yeah? But some higher up already fully bought in to the grift and to pull back now would be admitting they got dupped, which will never happen of course.
- Comment on really robs the dramatic tension 5 weeks ago:
Elden Ring really got this right by playing the cool cut scene once and then every attempt after goes straight into the fight. Could’ve done with closer sites/shrines in a few of the fights, though

There are 2 important words there that you’re missing.

“Worth it anyway” to have autumnal functionality?

In short - a lot.
- Comment on Why do phone manufacturers use in-display fingerprint readers instead of fingerprint readers on the power button? 1 month ago:
Most phones have an emergency lockdown that will require a passcode, fwiw.
- Comment on 'let me show you the nether before bed' 1 month ago:
It’s funny when you die in the nether lava ocean ans have to go on a sand excavation to get your stuff back.
- Comment on how do I accept I'll never know why any employer rejected me? 2 months ago:
Not OP, but just a boiler plate response would be fine for me. “Sorry [insert name here]. You are no longer being considered for this position. (Optional) Good luck on other applications”. Could even have it set up to sends those out automatically.
- Comment on Sony announces the PS5 Pro with a larger GPU, advanced ray tracing, and AI upscaling 2 months ago:
That is interesting. Thanks for the extra info!
- Comment on Sony announces the PS5 Pro with a larger GPU, advanced ray tracing, and AI upscaling 2 months ago:
Huh, I wasn’t aware that 4090s use similar tech. That sheds light on a few things. Thanks!
- Comment on Sony announces the PS5 Pro with a larger GPU, advanced ray tracing, and AI upscaling 2 months ago:
The game is rendered at a lower resolution, this saves a lot of resources.
Then dedicated AI cores or even special AI scaler chips get used to upscale the image back to the requested resolution.
I get that much. Or at least, I get that’s the intention.
This is a fixed cost and can be done with little power since the components are designed to do this task.
This us the part I struggle to believe/understand. I’m roughly aware of how resource intensive upscaling is on locally hosted models. The necessary tech/resources to do that to 4k+ in real time (120+ fps) seems at least equivalent, if not more expensive, to just rendering it that way in the first place. Are these “scaler chips” really that much more advanced/efficient?
Further questions aside, I appreciate the explanation. Thanks!
- Comment on Sony announces the PS5 Pro with a larger GPU, advanced ray tracing, and AI upscaling 2 months ago:
Is there an eli5 on how “ai upscaling” is less (or even equally) technologically demanding than just putting in better hardware?

I always think of this infographic illustrating an easy to understand version of districting/gerrymandering. It’s obviously leaving out the real life complexities and difficulties, but it gets the idea across.
