The RT in a lot of those games is broken if DLSS is not turned on. Many games’ implementation of RT is fundamentally broken in terms of providing a glitch free experience.

I dont think people have problems with the use of ray tracing per se, it’s just with Nvidia’s and Unreal’s implementation of it that causes graphical glitches and bad performance for little gain in quality.

Pretty neat. Right now 1gbps downloads can often be bottlenecked by CPU, so a more efficient algorithm like zstd will probably speed up downloads.

Ä is the swedish way of writing ae: “aegg”. Basically identical to the english pronunciation, but the vowel is a little higher in the mouth.

Apparently the English pronunciation is actually adopted from the norse word, instead of the older “Ei” germanic etymology. If English hadn’t adopted the Norse pronunciation, it would be closer to “Ey”.

Yeah I would say there’s a spectrum of intelligibility of English - Dutch - Swedish - German.

Organic outdoor eggs are about $0.50 an egg in Sweden near me. The eggs in the picture are free-range indoor and are less than $0.10 per egg.

That’s true. Ray tracing libraries and engines like UE5 are a lot easier to develop on than older engines.

But I’m not sure it’s such a simple comparison. 3d acceleration made games look better, and the weakest gpus didn’t make your fps tank afaik. Your average gpu these days will tank your FPS in ray tracing and cause awful visual artifacts, either from bad denoising algorithms, or from the upscalers used to hide the bad FPS and bad denoising.

This move reduces development costs, but given that the consumer doesn’t get any benefits from it, it’s hard not to have the cynical view that this is just greedy cost cutting on Microsoft’s part.

Microsoft getting me to buy this game requires me to care.

Not buying a new GPU for a new Doom game.

there’s an African I work with, I think you guys should investigate him because hes really bad at his job and he’s been posting extremist content online. He’s obviously a DEI hire and I really think he needs to be fired. His name is Elon Musk.

what the fuck is a deia contract. Do they just want a list of scapegoats they can be racist, sexist, and bigoted to?

They also have Liberapay, OpenCollective and Patreon:

yes, I run my matrix server 24/7. I’m not really the expert on this, but I believe the way federation works on matrix is that downtime means that users on that instance will not be able to see/write messages, but users on other messages will still be able to write messages, which will later be picked up by the crashed instance when it comes back up. Not sure how it affects rooms.

Right, and wouldn’t the rings be pretty fragile considering how long they are? So it would probably have similar bioactivity as like olive oil.

Not really. I mostly used Element, but I also tried fractal which seemed decent.

The tough thing is that the supported features are changing rapidly, so what might be a good client one year might be out of date the next year. I also had a lot of issues with Element randomly logging me out on my self-hosted server :/

I wish Matrix video calls worked better so it could take over

Space elevator companies seem to think that materials exist that are strong enough, just that they are not long enough.

Very much layman conjecture, but my assumption is that this material is stronger than carbon nanotubes and graphene.

Basic democratic principles and checks and balances will be largely undermined, the legislature, law enforcement and media will be robbed of their independence and misused as a political arm, Big Tech will be given co-governing power

I think this mainly means that tech companies will be able to regulate online speech and commerce, which is forbidden in the EU under the DSA and DMA.
