    NVidia GeForce RTX 50x0 cards - 70% performance increase, but AI > you

    The 4080 drew 20-40w less power than the 3080 at the same usage profile for almost 80% more performance. (But a shitload more money, 700 vs 1200 MSRP.)

    4090's do not do 4k 240hz at reasonable settings.

    I will end up paying whatever MSRP costs to get an FE card.

    This brings up a good point. Now that I really think about it, the thing I'm talking about already sorta exists and might be the most used programming language in the world: Microsoft Excel. It is graphical, accessible, and organizes basic business application programming into logical flows...

    Just because I don't see the purpose of infinite B-roll generation, and think that LLMs have broad copyright concerns when it comes to news, literature, art, etc, does not mean that they can't/won't abstract away every question junior devs ask daily on stackoverflow. Different tools are...

    You're missing my point entirely. Your argument is about existing suites of tools that tried to shove existing languages built for syntactic coding into designer IDEs. Yes, I agree, those have all been bad, every one of them basically. I'm talking about "missing link" paradigms that just...

    Weird, a cabal of entrenched autists hate change. All computer languages other than assembly are abstractions, (and even that is technically, but only by being pedantic.) I'm not advocating for new GUIs for existing languages, adding additional layers of abstraction. I'm advocating for...

    Camelot Unchained MMO

    The people making this game are the people who kept trying to ruin the original game. The original was good by accident, every attempt by the bigbrains behind it to make it conform to their vision made it worse.

    Actually, the fact that software development has not moved past flat files of text editable in vim in ~50 fucking years represents a real failure of imagination. It would be like if writing never progressed passed chipping stone tablets. All software development should have progressed into...

    UI seems like it would have a very uphill battle challenging the established players with their vast channel partner networks in the enterprise space, and the prosumer networking space is never going to get bigger than it is now.

    My point is that all the "journalists" on that site are indistinguishable from fictional people. There's nothing 'current year' about that article, I don't know what you're talking about.

    Na, I don't think that's it. Kids weren't encouraged to do that kinda of experimentation in the early PC era either, mainly because they were so expensive. I remember when finally got a PC and my parents threatened the shit out of me not to take it apart or do anything to it (like uninstall...

    The main culprit identified appears to be when Windows started trying to obscure where your files are stored as much as possible, and mobile devices don't have real file managers by default.

    Been having this discussion a lot in tech circles. People under 24 don't seem to know shit about computers. Baby gen x/elder millennials will be cursed with supporting tech for both their kids and parents for the rest of their lives.
