  whether you factor backwards compatibility or not is irrelevant. Those are still ps4 games. There are comparatively quite few ps5 games

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI was a common theme at Gamescom 2025, and while some indie teams say it's invaluable, it remains an ethical nightmare⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  there are barely any. I can’t name a single one offhand. Open weights means absolutely nothing about the actual source of those weights.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do i tip my bartender $2 per drink and per bar food order but 20% when I order food from a waitress? Am I tipping wrong?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  there is already a federal law about it. Minimum is already minimum for everyone. Tipped positions simply let the employer save some of that money. If you didn’t tip, the employer must pay the full wage.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why doesn’t Apple/Samsung/Google use new tech like every other phone maker?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  what trend? they made thi ipod, they made the iphone, they’ve been late, really really late, for very basic features on either. And a bunch of just plain bad stuff.

  Butterfly keyboards, magic mouse, touch bar on macs, not cherry picked at all. There are tons of examples

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why doesn’t Apple/Samsung/Google use new tech like every other phone maker?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  that would be more believable if they didn’t release the apple vision pro.

  Or the years they took biding their time before they finally implemented battery charge time estimation on ios.

  Or the time biding their time refining, erm, copy and paste?

  Come on!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How does AI use so much power?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  that’s why they need huge datacenters and thousands of GPUs. And, pretty soon, dedicated power plants. It is insane just how wasteful this all is.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How does AI use so much power?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  imagine that to type one letter, you need to manually read all unicode code points several thousand times. When you’re done, you select one letter to type.

  Then you start rereading all unicode code points again for thousands of times again, for the next letter.

  That’s how llms work. When they say 175 billion parameters, it means at least that many calculations per token it generates

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon turns on raytracing⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  raytracing still needs to do subsurface scattering. It can actually do it for real though. It also “wastes” a lot of bounces, so is usually approximated anyway
