In the US it could be Tang instead, a powered drink mix stirred and in a pitcher, or reconstituted frozen orange juice which, like a lot of fruit in the US, is often fresher than stuff on our grocery shelves given when it’s frozen.

If it tasted like a kiwi I’d be all over it. Ripe kiwi are amazing.

“I’m pro-life”

It may be a reality of the actions, but a lot of this sentiment is rooted in capitalism’s aims of “income = morality”. It ends up being classist often punching downwards to folks who utilize “buy now pay later” services. They operate on the idea of preying on people who aren’t paid their due for the work that they do, and are trying to be able to afford some nice things.

Possible OP isn’t low income and just utilizing it anyway, but it’s a bad sentiment to lever at anyone. Blame the shitty practices and systems designed around fucking over people, not the people who get screwed by the systems designed to do so.

How does that compare to WaterFox or similar? I’m guessing it’s not running a dated framework like PaleMoon?

doesn’t help half of electron apps decide to theme themselves. It’s a massive pain on Windows too.

It’s mostly that a feature on it went from “okayish” to “far more consumer-friendly”, which was incredibly unexpected of them to do. Everyone figured Steam library sharing would die but instead they roll out Family that has far looser restrictions than the system they’d had for over a decade.

Can’t play the same game at the same time unless both own it, and DLC isn’t shared, but my partner being able to play anything I own that I’m not playing is pretty rad of a positive change.

Meanwhile Nintendo’s system got worse instead.

But much more loosely-so, not nearly as heavily. It was more like a seldom-used term to say that it might be like what machine learning actually was.

Now they’re all being called it heavily, forcefully, by corporations which started using it for capitalistic hype reasons. Hence, the push for strong distinctions between a field that’s been around for quite a while as algorithms in mathematics being a variety of types, and lazy slop that “just one more prompt bro” and “we can replace workers”. Even DLSS wasn’t called “AI” until the hype train started, and now Jensen Huang can’t call it that often enough lest he be unable to afford yet another leather jacket as if they’re disposable glasses wipes.

It’s not AI, it’s neural network models in the same way voice recognition in devices has been working for over a decade. Even Dragon has been utilizing language models vectors for a very long time, just requiring voice training instead of utilizing a premade research or open-source data set.

I hate generative AI and it’s slop too, but getting angry about neural network models in general is not only absurd, but playing exactly into what corporations want – conflation of the underlying basic technology concepts with the capitalistic vampirism of art.

EDIT: to add, “research” here can be closed source – voice models utilized with these tend to be internally-sourced for much of them, at least earlier ones do.

I don’t think “don’t chime in if you don’t actually know, or just ask instead of make a baseless assertion”, is “insulting”. If anything it’s just bluntly pushing for better nettiquette, and coming out swinging in the manner your post did does no favors.

Just take time before posting to ask yourself “is this asking a question, or am I making an assertion I’ll excuse as being a question later instead of just asking?” Your post was very much the latter. I don’t think you intended it, but it’s a byproduct of conditioning short-length social media engagement has kind of created in many of us overtime. It’s healthy to undo that.

Are they, or are they nyantilis?

I haven’t had disk issues, am running a 980 Pro SSD currently, but I’ve definitely noticed other weirdness that sure feels more like that? Half-Life crashing repeatedly in map loads sometimes succeeding fine and other times not. Firefox broke wholesale until I reinstalled it and even then had to do a refresh to fully solve it. I haven’t seen anything else weird thankfully but this definitely has me concerned and glad I’m backing up with a very long rolling period just in case. Gonna uninstall this update for sure.

My assumption was it had something to do with the drivers for the controller, and the update flooding it faster than it could take data and not caching everything it couldn’t cram into controller DRAM, causing parts to just get dropped wholesale.

TIL! Thank you for the added detail, I hadn’t read the full write up but had watched his presentation in English and it was wild to hear presented.

You left out what I feel is the best part: even in the “uncompressed” mode, even when that was disabled, it was still happening sometimes.

I think the problem is that you think you’re talking like a time traveler heralding us about the wonders of sliced bread, when really it’s more like telling a small Victorian child about the wonders of Applebee’s and in the impossible chance they survive to it then finding everything is a lukewarm microwaved pale imitation of just buying the real thing at Aldi and cooking it in less time for far tastier and a fraction of the cost.

If you want to argue in favor of your slop machine, you’re going to have to stop making false equivalences, or at least understand how its false. You can’t make ground on things that are just tangential.

A computer in 1980 was still a computer, not a chess machine. It did general purpose processing where it followed whatever you guided it to. Neural models don’t do that though; they’re each highly specialized and take a long time to train. And the issue isn’t with neural models in general.

The issue is neural models that are being purported to do things they functionally cannot, because it’s not how models work. Computing is complex, code is complex, adding new functionality that operates off of fixed inputs alone is hard. And now we’re supposed to buy that something that creates word relationship vector maps is supposed to create new?

For code generation, it’s the equivalent of copying and pasting from Stack Overflow with a find/replace, or just copying multiple projects together. It isn’t something new, it’s kitbashing at best, and that’s assuming it all works flawlessly.

With art, it’s taking away creation from people and jobs. I like that you ignored literally every point raised except for the one you could dance around with a tangent. But all these CEOs are like “no one likes creating art or music”. And no, THEY just don’t want to spend time creating themselves nor pay someone who does enjoy it. I love playing with 3D modeling and learning how to make the changes I want consistently, I like learning more about painting when texturing models and taking time to create intentional masks. I like taking time when I’m baking things to learn and create, otherwise I could just go buy a box mix of Duncan Hines and go for something that’s fine but not where I can make things when I take time to learn.

And I love learning guitar. I love feeling that slow growth of skill as I find I can play cleaner the more I do. And when I can close my eyes and strum a song, there’s a tremendous feeling from making this beautiful instrument sing like that.

Ain’t called the “imperial” system for nothing.

Brits gave it to us and then we changed the spellings and decided it made us special I guess.

So, partial credit where partial credit is due. It’s just way the fuck older.

I’ve seen multiple emulator devs frustrated with how demanding the project itself is, but moreso toxic behavior from the lead developer towards emulator devs and users alike. Can’t handle any kind of even constructive criticism worth a damn and when people understandably are frustrated by him lashing out he then turns it back around to say they’re out to get him.

Agreed really, but less about the RetroArch part and more just in general with the way this person in particular is. In my mind, if you’re not ready to be able to turn the project over to the community to maintain instead of yourself because you’re as much of a controlling prick as this guy, then you should never make it even source-available and should just keep it private source.
