not to derail y'all from cookies and doughs??? but i would like to share a vid that ive found to be enlightening, it was shared by a gamedev from another site and it sheds light on the catastrophic events happening rn, it saddens me that i dont have the means to help so i thought of trying to spread awareness/clear misconceptions to my fellow gamedevs at least (also i liked the idea of spreading awareness through a game as rasheed has done)....btw its age restricted but there's no graphic content from what i've seen, please spare a bit of your time to enlighten yourselves- if not then save it or share it to ppl who find this topic complex. have a good day/night 💕

That's what hibernation is.
fleet tangle
4
'Sleep mode' in a nutshell stops the CPU's clocking, so the CPU stops right where it is. The memory is still powered, and everything else does nothing.
When you wake the computer 'up', the clocking starts, and it moves right on.
Because the CPU does not react to interrupts while it 'sleeps' (except the 'wake-up' call), all external access it disabled, so no wireless, no internal clock updating, etc.
How you managed to survive that with your computer unplugged I'm not sure. Maybe your PSU capacitors had just enough juice?
unreal ether
perhaps. It would be plausible for maybe a few seconds, but literal hours?!
Maybe I've just got a god in PSU form 😆
fleet tangle
With each successive sleep state, from S1 to S4, more of the computer is shut down. All ACPI-compliant computers shut off their processor clocks at S1 and lose system hardware context at S4 (unless a hibernate file is written before shutdown), as listed in the sections below.
"unless a hibernation file is written before shutdown"
Operating system context, however, is maintained in a hibernate file (an image of memory) that the system writes to disk before entering the S4 state. Upon restart, the loader reads this file and jumps to the system's previous, prehibernation location.
My computer is so broken for sleep.
If I go into sleep mode, it can't wake up.
unreal ether
this is even more odd because it was definitely in S3, which means it should be a clean reboot
but it's behaving like it was in S4
I use sleep just so i don't have to mess around with my million chrome tabs
sure booting to desktop is fine and dandy, but opening the apps is a pain in the arse

Somebody wrote a critique piece about one of his corporate sponsored fluff pieces and he went on a major defensive fumble in the comments.
It's so funny watching him get angry and make himself look like a dick.
proud jay
seems like facts though?
fleet tangle
If Tom disagrees with me on these points, we could have a discussion. But instead he chose to attack my credibility, like my opinion can be bought. He knew full well I made a very similar video about AVs 4 years previous. I would never insinuate Tom is a clout chaser who tries to tear down big youtubers for views, while parroting VPN talking points he knows are false. I wouldn’t do that - I’d engage with his arguments instead.
This one I thougth was particularly funny.
fleet tangle
seems like facts though?
What does?

his response
fleet tangle
Whose?
proud jay
the long veritasium one
fleet tangle
I mean, it may have some fact to it, but it misses the entire point of that video.
proud jay
pinned
fleet tangle
It doesn't matter if Tom's video here is 100% biased.
Even if he corrects a few factual mistakes, it completely misses the point of the video, which is that he did not provide a well reasoned summary of driverless vehicles, but just a corporate fluff piece.
With unverified and misrepresented statistics*
Like I said, veritasium guy is just being extremely petty about it all.
He continually argues with the creator in the comments instead of, like the other content creators that Tom mentioned, actually just admit that it was somewhat biased and apologised.
proud jay
well I"m not gonna watch the wole video so I can't judge
I watched a small portion on the comparison with elevators and flights, but there the video presenter is also seemingly attacking veritasium though
he seems to imply that the story of the elevator and planes is irrelevant since cars are more complex, but that's not the point of the comparison, the point was to prove that technological advancements can be made and people can be scared of it
not that driving an elevator is the same as driving a car
on the crash thing he has some point though
but if the whole video is like that idk
fleet tangle
He basically just goes on to talk about why the comparisons aren't valid and that the sources fro most of the statistics in the video are unverified and even just created by the company in question, Waymo.
proud jay
but he's misinterpreting the comparisons imo
fleet tangle
The rest of the stuff is pretty valid, though.
proud jay
if someone would be opposed to the idea of smartphones I could say people were scared of the large room calculators, and of course the smartphone would be mile more complex, but that doesn't disprove the comparison that technological improvement is useful but can face opposition
but again, haven't seen it entirely so idk
fleet tangle
Funnily enough, veritasium guy doesn't mention those pretty valid rebuttals.
fleet tangle
Lol yup.
But my point was the butthurt in the comments by veritasium that was funny! 😄
proud jay
I feel like I would be similar though
it makes sense to defend if someone attacks you
of course he could've added nuance to which things he agrees in the video
fleet tangle
Then you might just be petty too!
Of course it's only natural to get annoyed when somebody calls you out for something.
But you don't need to respond like that, especially in a professional setting (he is replying on his professional account).
If somebody reviewed your code at work, would you get angry and tell them about all their mistakes?
proud jay
depends what mistakes
if someone tells me change this code to this cause it's more efficient, and it's not, of course I would defend my code
fleet tangle
But you wouldn't attack the other person when doing it?
Which veritasium does in those comments.
proud jay
I've only read the top comment
fleet tangle
Just see my quote above, he literally called him a clout chaser.
And says he parots vpn claims he knows are false in his advertising section.
proud jay
well that is a bit hypocrit though
maybe not necessary to call out by him though
either way, observers from any of the party are gonna be biased in their information absorption
fleet tangle
Probably.

that looks pretty cool

Far cry primal was a good game, the devs really put in a lot of effort

Still the only one I played, I heard bad things for the ones which followed. To Primal looks not so bad.

the pre christmas party of our company was a farce 😄
we were supposed to go on this cruise on an old museum steam locomotive train
departure from Helsinki
the locomotive itself was late and the train was stuck in a completely different city
the company that manages the train told us to take another train to that city where their train was
so that we could take their train back to Helsinki
50% of our company just faded at that point
me included 😅
the people that went there found out that there are not drinks nor food there
