    Yeah this is all I ever want to do in these games is figure out how to flank 3+ people at a time. Fuck sharpshooting lol.

    Chat GPT AI

    You're missing the point of what I'm saying. Relentless optimizing for X, regardless of what X is, is incompatible with humans having a good life. AI is just the ultimate manifestation of the machine's desire to optimize away humanity.

    The long answers is that I don't think that humans have ever been in control of their own destiny, that free will is an illusion, and that only bear witness to the universe rather than shape it. In this case it may mean that we will bear witness to our end, or our irrelevance. Artificial...

    This was pretty obvious, the whole "6-month pause" idea is a joke. In six months is humanity going to fundamentally solve the 'Moloch' problem that these people keep talking about? It would take six decades to get these people to admit that their 'Moloch' is just another word for capitalism.

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    They're not paying for random 'AI stuff.' They're paying for it to work with their existing platforms and processes. For a more concrete example, they are paying for AI chatbots that front-end and ultimately flow work items to human agents already working in their call centers. Therefore the...

    This is how most reasonable people have felt about climate change for years. We were never able to control the worst consequences of capitalism, so why would we think we could control the worst consequences of AI? AI is just the ultimate extension of that same system. Sensible regulation of...

    Home Improvement

    The time wasn't the problem, though it was annoying. Going from 55 degrees to 93 degrees in the span of 2 days was the problem. And I was too stubborn to run the new AC while going in and out and with an open duct in the wall.

    Wow, replacing an old over-the-stove microwave with a new range hood turned into the most ridiculous project. Turns out whatever idiot put up the microwave (aka my dumbass parents) didn't line up the exhaust vent at all, so I had to shorten the cabinets and redo all the electrical, paint half...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 40x0 cards - x2 the power consumption, x2 the performance

    And 120W less, which is kind of a big deal from a total cost of ownership standpoint. And it's probably closer to 150W because my 3080 FE would routinely spike up to almost 350W if I didn't go out of my way to try to limit it in some way.

    When I was first getting into computers, a friend of mine's dad was a machinist that made giant bits for custom applications, some of which were giant. He always had these giant wax models of them, they were so cool. Yeah but how many decades did you make fun of hippies for doing the same shit...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 40x0 cards - x2 the power consumption, x2 the performance

    Yeah you absolutely have to use DLSS3 in order to get good performance with the RT Overdrive settings, making it pointless on anything that's not a 40x0 card.

    Cyberpunk 2077

    So, yeah, this game does look absolutely incredible with the new patch, and you can get it running over 100 fps consistently with a few very small tweaks at 1440p with DLSS 3.

    Horizon 2: Forbidden West

    I thought the way they handled those big villains at the end was super lame, actually. It was more of a cutscene than a final mission. That last mission off the coast should have been an entire anti-tutorial subzone. Where you'd have to use all your skills to navigate their island base and...

    lol what For doing almost any type of complex technical work, 2 is basically mandatory. 1 screen for the system you're working on, 1 screen for the documentation for that system. More than 2 is a luxury. For what most people who work for a large corporation do all day, it's 3. One screen...
