    Supermarket prices and house prices are ultimately set at whatever people will pay for them. Whatever price the market will bear. If everyone has less money, things will cost less.

    Oh god it's an Overwatch clone, just what we needed. The whole development cycle of spending 5 years to clone a game that was popular 5 years ago can't possibly be working, can it? FFS the level design is a direct Overwatch ripoff, Blizzard should actually sue.

    WOTC has made 20 years of incredibly dumb decisions and grown in spite of it, just based on the strength of the products themselves and having pretty good brand strategy in the bigger picture. Their products cost, comparatively, nothing to make. They print money, margin wise. But they cost a...

    Multiple PCs into a single big monitor solution.. Help

    No, for what you want, you still need a monitor that accepts 4 inputs, or an HDMI picture-by-picture combiner that accepts 4 inputs. But you still need MWB to be able to move the mouse and keyboard seamlessly across all 4.

    Multiple PCs into a single big monitor solution.. Help

    I think you're confusing outputs with monitors. 4 HDMI outputs from 4 machines going into 1 monitor is still 1 monitor device per computer, so MWB would still work.

    I really like my Gesture. It got rid of pains that I was not even aware were being caused by my previous chair. But we're not remotely the same size.

    Try a Steelcase Gesture. It might still be small though. Does the Embody not come in larger sizes like the Aeron does?

    That movie also came out at the same time as American Fiction which is about the same shit and did critically well and tripled its budget in revenue. If you make the same movie as someone else, but worse, and release it at the same time, you're gonna have a bad time. This is how all big budget...

    Except we're actually living in the opposite.

    If the dollar drops, imports and anything priced globally like oil, even if produced entirely domestically, will go up. If more tariffs get put in place, that's even more CPI inflation on common imports. But other than those two scenarios, where's the inflation pressure going to come from...

    At this point, cutting closer to the election does nothing. It takes at least 6-9 months for fed policy to actually impact people.

    Mouse Without Borders is what you want for controlling multiple computers. This is included in the new Power Toys for Windows or standalone, but the standalone is no longer updated (still works great though.) For the monitor, the Dell P4317Q did what you want, but it's not something easily...

    Self-driving combines a whole bunch of different approaches, some real-time and some not, some local and some not. Not directly comparable. And a ton of work and person-hours has been thrown at it to some very mixed results.

    "Running" is the inference part. Still requires a shitload of compute. Did you watch the video? I don't think "train once" would work for video games. Even with all the compute they've thrown at it, it's limited to 10 second task sequences, with absolutely no ability for long-term planning...

    A bot that's doing training and inference based on real-time visual processing is going to require 100s of datacenter GPUs, probably 1000s. No one is going to be able to run a personal bot like this. Again, this stuff is neat for research purposes, but for practical purposes, almost...

    Note: I don't actually think any of this is going to happen. I think for most complex fields, "AI" is going to be a lot more like "offshoring" where you're basically just cloning extremely mediocre workers who end up creating almost as many problems as they actually solve. Except you'll be...
