And then we need to nationalize our basic infrastructure. Electricity and Fiber first.

But! Zuck said they recently saw AI able to work on tasks that involve improving the software that manages AI! He said that means we are not far from super intelligence!
the extrapolation these guys make without new paradigm’s in mind is evidence of a bubble for me

SD cards lack durability in my experience.
Hopefully a reason for producing this alternative is improved durability.

The perpetrators reportedly shared ‘hundreds of process integration technical photos’ with the Japanese company [Rapidus], though their exact relationship is unknown and it is unclear whether the chipmaker asked for the said assets.
I look forward to follow up reporting on this part.

Well, everyone discussing this seems to have been confused about it. Is it fucking PayPal and stripe or fucking Mastercard and visa?

Yeah. Tim just wants his shitty App Store in more places so he can make his own anti competitive deals to force people to use it.

Sounds like some of my friends.
That said, the article states they have perfected techniques to counter these issues well enough to do scans.
This article didn’t have enough detail.

- Comment on OmniSVG: A Unified Scalable Vector Graphics Generation Model 3 weeks ago:
This is the first time I’ve seen a model target SVG drafting. Anything you have seen previously about unicorns or whatever was just someone experimenting with interesting edge case usage.
Feeding a language model a bunch of vector art does not seem productive to me. So it makes sense that something like GPT4 sucks at it.

- Comment on Does anyone else find it suspicious that there wasn't any criticism on here about Stop Killing Games until after it hit 1.4M signatures? 3 weeks ago:
I’m not against the goal. But I have voiced that I don’t think this route/configuration of leadership will work.
I only heard about it once people on Lemmy started talking shit about this pirate guy. I hadn’t heard about him either. So it came on my radar as drama. And I ended up having a rough time sharing my point of view. People are really emotional about this intuitive. They take any criticism as an attack that could harm progress on signatures.
In the end the drama with this pirate dork ended up actually bringing positive attention that helped an otherwise flagging initiative for signatures.
I hope this initiative causes positive change.

Thanks! This sounds like community building to me. The peer pressure seems to be a double edged sword, and I can see how it might become burdensome in some cases.

Can you elaborate on the self organizing thing? I don’t think I have a strong intuition on what you mean.

This post isn’t about the games being removed from the face of the internet. It’s just one platform.
It’s too early to panic.

It’s DRM free. Just practice good backups man. No need to jump to piracy.

I think it mostly revolves around how you get 100 players together for a good game. The match making part. I’m skeptical of the quality of match making, but that’s not a showstopper for people committed to playing. But if we set aside the need for someone to maintain hosting, then it becomes peer to peer or a lan party, or a combination of the two.
I remember what it was like rounding up and wrangling 80 people to raid in WoW back in the day.
And none of this is a showstopper I don’t see why we can’t talk about that. It’s not like discussing the difficult edge cases or the feasibility of the details could harm things.
My initial question in this thread framed changing the game design, not networking stack.
- Comment on Statement on Stop Killing Games - VIDEOGAMES EUROPE 1 month ago:
Sounds like that’s the answer to my reply then. Not all this other noise people have posted. 😏
- Comment on Statement on Stop Killing Games - VIDEOGAMES EUROPE 1 month ago:
Man. Y’all really think I’m talking about networking design?
I thought we were talking about gameplay design. That’s why I picked 100 player battle royal.
“Change the game design” implies that, to me. I didn’t pick a single player experience with always online requirements. Or a 4 player game with online matchmaking and no direct connect options.
There’s such a strong, and obsessive need among a bunch of people on this topic to explain and explain, and not parse the precise thing being asked.
There’s also a lot of people who conflate having the opinion that the effort will fail due to its approach and the person/people behind it with not wanting it to succeed.
What I’m doing is poking at how people are behaving and how they talk about this initiative. And how the messaging is confusing and all over the place. It takes 5 people racing to explain it to me when I understand perfectly, and lay out a specific case. Yet no one replies to explain how my example would work.
I’m not the only one who sees this initiative as misguided, and mis framed.
Sorry for coming off like a troll, usually my outlier questions get responses instead of people acting like they are here.
I’ve really dug a bit too deep on this one, and I’ll try to stop replying now.
- Comment on Statement on Stop Killing Games - VIDEOGAMES EUROPE 1 month ago:
You guys…
I picked an actual “online only” example for a reason. Yet everyone is jumping around talking about other things.
Turning a battle royal into a lan only game sounds like the solution I was expecting in my replies. And then yeah, you can even route that over the internet.
But that’s not changing the design, really. It’s providing the infrastructure needed to run it, even if it’s lan only, and would need more to run it over the internet.
- Comment on Statement on Stop Killing Games - VIDEOGAMES EUROPE 1 month ago:
I mean, taking a 100 person battle royal and changing it so dramatically would be quite odd to do.
- Comment on Statement on Stop Killing Games - VIDEOGAMES EUROPE 1 month ago:
Of course it’s not. That’s why I made my initial reply.
