i think so too. But I choose to believe otherwise haha

i’m still waiting for naughty dog’s first game this generation. I tried rebirth, but it had been so long that i forgot everything from part 1 and just couldn’t get into it again
- Comment on What happened to NFTs and what where they in retro spec? 2 weeks ago:
what they were: paying for the receipt, and proudly flashing the receipt around. Meanwhile you never actually got the “product” that the receipt claimed that you own and the seller could take the content itself offline after the fact.

i haven’t turned mine on at all this year. which reminds me i should at least once a year.

yeah I just don’t see it with a context size of a gigabyte

my point is that neural “rendering” being geometry aware is just impossible

i would love to see how they fit a million triangles at 32 bytes per vertex, + textures + game state into the context of one model…

that too, but I w as referring to enabling shittily coded games to run on midrange hardware
- Comment on DLSS 5 comes with a massive 50-60% performance hit, so I hope you like lower frame rates with your dose of AI image enhancement 4 weeks ago:
at best. that’s just framegen. You forgot upscaling. it internally renders at 540p…
- Comment on DLSS 5 comes with a massive 50-60% performance hit, so I hope you like lower frame rates with your dose of AI image enhancement 4 weeks ago:
in some cases only 1% of pixels are actually rendered.

total polar opposite of its original purpose.

- Comment on Experimental Build Of Nvidia’s DLSS 5 AI Slop Filter Leaks And Turns Beloved Video Game Characters Into Uncanny Valley Weirdos 4 weeks ago:
it required a dedicated 5090. There’s only so much you can optimize something
- Comment on Experimental Build Of Nvidia’s DLSS 5 AI Slop Filter Leaks And Turns Beloved Video Game Characters Into Uncanny Valley Weirdos 4 weeks ago:
what i meant is that there is no way they could get it running acceptably on midrange cards
- Comment on Experimental Build Of Nvidia’s DLSS 5 AI Slop Filter Leaks And Turns Beloved Video Game Characters Into Uncanny Valley Weirdos 5 weeks ago:
fall is a month away, and the last demo they gave required a dedicated 5090 just for dlss.

- Comment on I hate Android! 1 month ago:
you’re talking about caching, which is not counted and does not count as in use. Closed source != magic. They don’t do anything open source stuff can’t (I still can’t believe you thought a cellular connection was magic)
- Comment on I hate Android! 1 month ago:
What do you think they’re doing that requires gigabytes of ram?
Thinking having a cellular connection is significantly any more memory intensive than a wifi or ethernet connection tells me that it’s you who doesn’t have the faintest idea of anything. You’re projecting
- Comment on I hate Android! 1 month ago:
well actually, yes we do know, by actually checking. You cannot guarantee anything.
- Comment on I hate Android! 1 month ago:
in my laptop, not my pc, but yes. And it doesn’t make a difference. It needs a couple of megabytes of ram. Not gigabytes. A cellular modem does its thing in its own firmware, the driver side is tiny in comparison.
When you work in embedded stuff with kilobytes of ram, you learn to appreciate just how much a little memory could go. Yes, I do know, this shit is my bread and butter
- Comment on I hate Android! 2 months ago:
my pc also has a full networking stack, just like the phone. And it has a bunch of services running. And i didn’t count cached memory for either, just what is in use at the moment.
If you had 64gigs of ram you’d want 60+ to be used as cache, not to be “in use”. And i force closed all apps except the one I’m using to write this comment.
Why is it so hard for you to believe stuff is bloated and can actually be significantly more efficient?
My phone doesn’t have all the services my pc has either…
- Comment on I hate Android! 2 months ago:
my pc at home, which doubles as a server, which runs plex, qbittorrent and other stuff, idles at less about 1.5 to 2 gigs.
The phone i am typing this on is currently sitting at just under 5gigs in use, jerboa is the only open app.
- Comment on I hate Android! 2 months ago:
the fact that systems exist which don’t, but still do the same things
- Comment on Civic duty 2 months ago:
oh ok. then that’s the same here
- Comment on Civic duty 2 months ago:
here we didn’t get to bring our own meals. We weren’t even allowed to go home or keep our phones at all
- Comment on I hate Android! 2 months ago:
read the op’s complaint. And all those extra services shouldn’t need gb of ram anyway.
- Comment on I hate Android! 2 months ago:
yes i know that obviously. But what do modern oses do more than they did with the memory limitations back then? They serve you more ads and they convince that taking up literally half of your memory and not even leaving enough resources for two apps is somehow necessary, when older computers hosted the os and the apps comfortably in a tiny fraction of that.
- Comment on I hate Android! 2 months ago:
the question is: why do two, not even three, apps consume all of the 4gb?
- Comment on I hate Android! 2 months ago:
ah today’s young ones… can’t imagine a whole computer with less than 128 mb of ram and still being able to multitask better than a phone with 12g of ram
