It is

[empty dune]

its surprising how much you can learn poking through the ue5 code

[median wraith]

and somehow exported to many countries, idk how that happened

[empty dune]

for example, i didnt know until 3 hours ago that slate works off of UCanvas

even though apparently they are separate systems

[brittle holly]

It had a decent couple of first seasons I think and then just meh

[brittle holly]

Also Netflix tries to be inclusive

[median wraith]

someone told me they claim to destroy the Spain economy by taking 250millions or something from the bank

but somehow we spend the 300 millions on those trains that didn't fit the tunnel and nothing happen

[brittle holly]

[median wraith]

@proud jay does your car comes with the recording system for the cameras ?

I spot that on some modern ones and that is awesome to have without install crap

[empty dune]

how do i do this for hevedy's post?

[brittle holly]

Genius

[brittle holly]

I mean block kinda does it

[median wraith]

posted the link there by the way so

[brittle holly]

Where?

[median wraith]

but that's all

[pearl elk]

You cant block a Spanish train 😅

[empty dune]

no, he's not wrong with this part. cars are made of materials that can crumple under impact. this is so the passengers can survive, a method built upon how the human collarbone functions. a tesla cybertruck thats designed to be bulletproof will instead just kill its passengers due to there being absolutely no compensation for the impact force. good if you want to preserve the truck but i dont think thats what most owners of cybertrucks want

[median wraith]

there isn't even train at all, that's the sad part

[brittle holly]

Yes, I know that, but not “all plastic”

There’s still steel, just not like the old Volvos where you couldn’t cut the door off in case of an accident

[median wraith]

Yeah is a way to speak, isn't all plastic

[empty dune]

oh, you meant it that way

[median wraith]

Now you point out the Volvo, those are noice cars

[brittle holly]

They’re ok. Basically a Volkswagen/Audi for Jewish people as it was once described to me

[median wraith]

wtf

[brittle holly]

Well they wouldn’t buy a German car so that’s their next choice

[empty dune]

im gonna check out of this real fast now, enjoy the 17th ace attorney sequel #lounge !

[median wraith]

I think Volvo is way more expensive than Volkswagen at this point, on the Audi tier but Audi spend the money in different things

[brittle holly]

Not trying to sound anti-Semitic btw, I worked at a Volvo dealership

And it makes sense, I’d prly do the same in their shoes tbh

[pearl elk]

How you gonna cut someone out of a bulletproof car with bombproof glass?

[brittle holly]

Self-destruct button

[pearl elk]

Good thing tesla failed at both those things lol

[brittle holly]

Also on the Volvo thing, they invented seat belts and air bags iirc and also auto-braking

So very safe cars

[pearl elk]

If I had a choice between being ran over by a delorian or a cybertruck Id go with the delorian

[median wraith]

they look kinda solid this days, is the only I know, aside from what you pointed out

but yeah the price ranges are out

[brittle holly]

Well yeah there’s a chance you can travel back to the future

[median wraith]

back to the start of this conversation

what phone do you have ? @brittle holly

[brittle holly]

iPhone

Apple master race

[pearl elk]

Tesla Cyberphone

[median wraith]

now makes sense

[pearl elk]

Runs xOSx

[median wraith]

someone knows whats better between POCO, Xiaomi and such on 200 to 300 range phones ?

Xiaomi technically is kinda like Huawei on data collection so

[empty dune]

ive had both poco and xiaomi, poco is a subsidiary of xiaomi iirc

[median wraith]

oh

[empty dune]

so youre screwed either way

i have a redmi 12 5g, its pretty good for a phone that costs like 180$

[median wraith]

basically my issue is what I pointed out before, the Huawei were released here for lower prices than expected, maybe because what we talked about before, the chip/core hardware and camera by those times were awesome for the price I had it, problem after 7 years the screen is starting to draw noises on it

[median wraith]

those are prawns man ? Looks tasty, enjoy

[empty dune]

7 years is like 4 years beyond the expected life cycle of a normal smartphone, so id say thats great

seafood pizza is great

had calamari pizza once, was really good

[median wraith]

is hard to find here, want to give a try once

[empty dune]

its easy to mess up as well, so look up reviews before you pick the spot

now i wanna order pizza, fricc

[pearl elk]

Eating my cousins noooooo

[median wraith]

And the whole issue is this: https://versus.com/en/apple-iphone-13-vs-huawei-mate-20

how a 200€ phone can be just a 10% worst than a 1200€ one, like I will get a new 200€ one that's half of this

[celest musk]

not developed in california

look at the cost of living there vs asia

[median wraith]

Whole issue is, not even other asia ones are this price anymore

[celest musk]

bet there's enough other at the same price

a lot of their stuff just never sees western market

[median wraith]

yeah, bet is the case

I just feel bad for having to move on to a new one that will be basicall 6+- years newer with about same stats or less in some cases at the same price range

hopefully you can do phone calls this days 😅

[celest musk]

well, what are you missing from that phone?

i'm also using a 8 years old samsung one, and i just don't need a better phone

it has replaceable battery, duo sim, 3.5mm headphone jack, ...

[median wraith]

Mainly the camera, used to play games but isn't a deal, the camera was good, but once you have the phone a lot in the pocket the lens break, take dust and water inside

maybe is better to get a basic phone and a camera next time

[celest musk]

yea i feel like cameras are the only thing which improve noticeable

[median wraith]

now all this ones come with AI reconstruction from what I see for zooms on phones

[summer cedar]

That pilot is going to have a BAAAD day.

[cursive crypt]

ace7?

[summer cedar]

Yes. 🙂

It's a lot of fun. The gameplay is smooth. I was doing somersaults without any stutters, even with the settings on high. I think the Darkstar is my favourite jet out of the very few I have unlocked. Maverick's fighter jet is nice and all, but the darkstar is just amazing.

[cursive crypt]

Ye, surprisingly easy going. I still had 2-3 missions left to finish it. Maybe one day.

[median wraith]

How compares this game with Project Wingman ?

[cursive crypt]

havent played that one ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[median wraith]

We are two then 😅

[cursive crypt]

lol

[median wraith]

Only got Ace6 or 7

7*

[summer cedar]

Project Wingman is arguably tougher, at least compared to the first few missions of Ace 7.

I've played both of normal difficulty. I think Project Wingman came later? It's definitely more tense, but the graphics are a bit weaker than Ace 7.

PW also gives you the extra task of handling take-off AND landing. You can use auto-pilot, but it's more satisfying to ram your jet's wheels on the runway.

[median wraith]

I thought the graphics were like the selling point back in the day at Twitter

[summer cedar]

It does lose against Ace 7's graphics, I think. Otherwise, both games are pretty.

[median wraith]

interesting

[summer cedar]

PW gets you into the thick of the action faster, too.

[median wraith]

I played once the demo of one of those Ace games, do one of them have an helicopters mission ?

Played Ace7 but no long, 2 missions or so

[summer cedar]

That would be the game that played poorly on PCs; yes, there was a helicopter. That game had control troubles.

Ace Combat: Assault Horizon was its name.

[median wraith]

oh true, you are right

[summer cedar]

I think they made it exclusively for the controller, because the keyboard was bugged.

I tried to play it, but I didn't have a controller at the time. I couldn't move at all. Googled it. Common problem.

[empty dune]

huh, didnt know you were an ace combat fan lol

[summer cedar]

I am not, but I got that game via Humble Bundle Trundle Dundle, I think. 😄

[empty dune]

i love ace combat, played almost all 18 of them lol

[summer cedar]

And how many games have you published so far?

[empty dune]

waiting for ace combat 8

[empty dune]

0 for now, ive only been at this for like 1 year 😦

[cursive crypt]

18>8?

[summer cedar]

Someone take his games away.

@median wraith I THINK Project Wingman is also more forgiving of mistakes in the sky, given how busy its combat is.

[empty dune]

ace combat games do not follow linear numbering or chronological order. think of them like star wars. so far we have ace combat 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 (latest), 10, 11, 12 and a bunch of spin offs. next is ac8 and then 9

release order was like 1, 2, 3, 4, 0, 5, 11, 12, 6, 7 and the spinoffs sprinkled in between

[proud jay]

Don’t think so

It has lots of cameras

But no recording afaik

[summer cedar]

And attached machine guns, or blow darts?

[shy veldt]

Added power and power generators to my game and I'm having too much fun making logic circuits that I'm not getting g actual work done lol

Anyone ever just sit and play their game for hours?

[empty dune]

i was just talking about this to my mom yesterday lol

[summer cedar]

But maybe that’s less feasible with billions of people

[rocky barn]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25kzaVbJn48

I don't think a release date from Roberts means anything

[timber viper]

Is it the same guy who didnt care about covid again

Or did you guys voted him out already

[rocky barn]

With his history, not just with SC, I would be skeptical even while playing it tbh

The most charitable reading of Freelancer's development is that he's an utterly incompetent project manager and the only thing SC has changed is making me consider more uncharitable possibilities

[summer cedar]

Who was that?
We had a lockdown for almost one and a half years, based on a zone system.

Luckily, our area had few infections, but we still had lockdowns for a week or so.

If you meant the Chief Minister of Maharashtra, well, he lost control of his party after they rebelled against him.

[timber viper]

He was an old guy

[summer cedar]

But, the Prime Minister is still Narendra Modi; he'll probably win hands down.

[timber viper]

I think (i might be wrong) i remember he was a bit against muslims too

Either he or someone else in the candidates back at pandemic days

Yee he was modi

I dont know the situation myself but my friends at India hated him during lockdown

They were thinking he didnt take necessary cautions etc

[empty dune]

not just during, goes a lot before AND after

[summer cedar]

Well, it was chaotic for a lot of people, especially because of the lockdowns.

[blazing wolf]

As someone who is updating SC right now to play with friends this afternoon, I agree with you. I long ago reached a point of "I'll believe it when I see it". That said, I do think it will eventually reach an official release, but like the Second Coming of Jesus, no man may know the hour or the day.

[timber viper]

Train situations were full lol

At 2022 when people got rid of masks and living happily I was reading how cursed the situation is in India

[empty dune]

same, star citizen is firmly in the space of ill believe it when i see it territory

[timber viper]

You guys went through multiple issues i guess

[empty dune]

my dude during the pandemic it seemed like nurgle himself was breaking through to real space in india

it was insane, actually felt like a fucking zombie apocalypse

[summer cedar]

It depended on where you were living, honestly.
In Andhra, where I live, it was fine after the lockdown was lifted.
In other places, especially where opposition parties ruled, I think the central government played games with them; not that the incumbent opposition parties were any better.

[empty dune]

my neighbourhood was literally quarantined and enforced by armed police

[summer cedar]

Oh yes, I remember the police.

We had them for four days or so, patrolling.

After that, the public around here kept the rules themselves; but then again, my area is more 'civilised'. 😄

Civilised as in, more Western like.

[empty dune]

the pandemic was insane. real life zombie apocalypse, you cant change my mind

[summer cedar]

@timber viper Specific to the train issue you mentioned, at least in Maharashtra, the local politicians messed with the itinerant workers A LOT.

They sent them fake SMSes telling them that trains were waiting to take them home. It was a mess thereafter.

[empty dune]

rocket physics suxx

not fun

[timber viper]

I went through one of the most peaceful lockdowns in the world

[empty dune]

at all

[timber viper]

So these are all insane to me

[summer cedar]

Where do you live?

[timber viper]

Turkey

Dont get me wrong situation here was fucked up too

But my city is awesome

Its like small paris

So I didnt have any issues at all

[summer cedar]

Yeah, my town is one of the best developed towns in India - in terms of towns here.
We had a good time. The public is also exposed to international crowds a lot and is spiritual. So, they were very well-behaved.

So yeah, I had a decent time.

I was also laughing at the hundreds of people queuing for 4KMs outside the liquour stores, on Google Images, in other parts of the country.

🤣

[timber viper]

lol someone here queued just for biscuits

Waited 3 hours

Got popular

People thought he didnt have money

So opened gofundme etc

Turned out he merely wanted biscuits

[summer cedar]

Yeah, but the best part was, the police riot charged them and broke up the crowds.
Same crowds returned 30 minutes later. 😄

[timber viper]

What this Police wants from this crowd

Crowds seems like a natural part of india experience

[summer cedar]

It was their job. Queuing up wasn't allowed. Gathering in groups of 3 to 4 wasn't permitted during the lockdowns.

THEN, after a few months, the crowds began to beat up the police.

[timber viper]

Yeah but... We are talking about india

[timber viper]

Lmfao

[summer cedar]

Thereafter, the rules became more relaxed.

Based on everything I read, it wasn't Modi per se that mishandled the pandemic. It was all the internecine political fighting; that plus the general ignorance about medical issues and accompanying stupidity.

The morons selling turmeric and plant leaves as cures for Covid didn't help either.

On the fun side, there was a local politician in the state of Gujarat, who sold his company's rice crackers as a Covid cure.

🤣

[timber viper]

Inequality is harsh

[summer cedar]

Absolutely.

[timber viper]

Is there any standard education system that is eligible for everyone at india?

i.e. Like all childs must go to school until high school etc

[summer cedar]

Until the age of 14, it is constitutionally compulsory.

[timber viper]

Why not 18?

[summer cedar]

You have free schools, but the really good schools are paid, of course.

[summer cedar]

When the constitution was written, passing your matriculation exam was considered quite an achievement.

If you are willing to put in the effort, education up to Ph.D. is practically free, using online services.

They are making that available in local languages, now, but I can't speak to that since I mostly just use English.

The latest NEP education policy focuses more on practical experience though; so we'll see how that changes the system in the coming years.

[summer cedar]

Yes, the Election Commission needs to ensure that the elections are fair, sans tampering. There's tampering in some places, regardless. Basically, the whole country is divided into zones and elections take place on one - to a maximum of three - days in each zone. There are some states that are considered special union territories, where they have a separate election day. Generally though, the whole thing takes place from April to June.

The PM wanted to implement digital voting, but faced stiff opposition from other parties. We'll see if he does it in the next four years.

[shy veldt]

It's gotten bad since I made the AI more smart and the Raider bases and outposts procedural. Working on adding a new and larger bed model for the mobile bases too.

[summer cedar]

Why do the mobile bases need larger beds?

What are you up to, hmmmmmmm?

[shy veldt]

Oh like truck beds. The thing the truck body and mechanicals rest on

[summer cedar]

Dang! I was hoping for something dirty. 😛

What you guys think?

[tulip orbit]

Battlewagons sounds more interesting to me

[fathom wadi]

I think its your life, your projects, your motivation and if you work based on someone else's opinion you will set yourself up to fail. You know the best option, the hardest option, the weakest option and the option you truly want to do. You flip-flop because you are full of ideas and want to do it all but you know sequentially what is the best option already. You literally wrote the best option up there subliminally.

[tulip orbit]

I've wanted to do a remake of AutoAssault ever since I got into UE dev

[fathom wadi]

I have wanted to do a dozen projects that I cant do on my own. That pains me. Especially as I have a dream project that I want to make but it requires a heavy budget and a solid team. I thought I would have got to a point I could finance it by now but somehow money doesn't flow my way

[tulip orbit]

yeah money always seems to flow in the wrong direction

I've just got two dream projects that I'd like to do, but are beyond my skill/time. One being the auto assault remake, the other being a massive RPG

[nova herald]

That's def. my favorite and the one I'm most positioned to pull off, nobody is doing what I'm trying to do. Terratech and Scrap Mechanic and Crossout come close but I'm going for something more nerdy

hard as hell tho, lots of math lol

[tulip orbit]

add some carmageddon/crazy taxi in and you've got yourself a game!

[nova herald]

It's more like Kerbal Twisted Metal

I want to have no assumptions about the vehicles being cars

if you can make a nuclear powered flying fortress then go do it

[cursive crypt]

lol

[upper oracle]

IMO as someone who also has several ideas, just do the smallest one in scope/time. Then work your way up.

Do you think he will come back from buying the milk as you pointed?

They should keep their bullshit in their own country

Why does that company even exist?

[proud jay]

why are you asking us

you're the one bringing it up

[errant raven]

Because they "work" with dev studios? No need to get a little hostile

so you don't send death threats to developers?

I've been replaying it, really great

Installed a mod that makes enemies 5x stronger. My dps is 1108 with a daedric sword that also deals 242 ice damage. Takes 15 hits before the health bar even starts to go down visibly

Is there a CVE for the root cause yet?

"EA’s decision to shut down Ridgeline Games is part of a larger wave of layoffs affecting the gaming industry. The publisher has confirmed that the restructuring will impact around 670 employees, representing approximately 5% of its workforce. This move reflects broader challenges gaming companies face amidst changing market dynamics and consumer demands."

670 workers the 5% ?

[cursive crypt]

Nice, with so many gdev layoffs, maybe they fall to make a game.

[median wraith]

that's not what investors says

[cursive crypt]

It is an way to boost the picture. Investors like it.

[oblique cloak]

if 670 is 5%, then they have around 20,000 employees?

o.O

[cursive crypt]

Someone gotta make fifa2025

In general, however, 3%-5% is common for corpos when shaking the bag. Even in non-gamedev it was common this year.

[proud jay]

they had 12900 in 2022 accordint to wikipedia

5% of 13k is 650

it would be 13400 if 670 is exactly 5%

at leas 10k of them are designing fifa cards

[oblique cloak]

I just went up from 670 5%, 1220, 10% and guesstimated

but thats crazy tho

[cursive crypt]

nah

[proud jay]

overshooting by 7k is a big guesstimate

[proud jay]

it's not about ea

[cursive crypt]

Ah, wait, is not for EA.

[oblique cloak]

Well according to the article it says 670 is 5%

[proud jay]

so that 13400 total right, not 20000

[oblique cloak]

your right 670 times 20 is 13400

[proud jay]

5% of 20000 is 1000

Dreamhost mislead me. They charge $3 for shared hosting. However, when I signed up they automatically activated a certain extra service, something about a secure site. That extra service was set to charge $3 every month, but the control panel did only show the $3 without telling me what it was. I was forced to pay 1 month because it was there, active, for the first month.

but i can be seen in this video at 1:50

[timber viper]

my current client is looking for an expert to get consultancy about ongoing perf issue on a huge map we have thats utilizing world partition, foliages, 100k placed actors etc etc

its a short 1-2 hours of thingy and paid via invoice, if you're interested I can refer u

[slim atlas]

100K actors?

in world partition?

Why isnt OOPF taking over

[timber viper]

we also have level instances and map takes 10 minutes to load on my highend PC

we have someone with i9 and 4090 it takes 6mins on him

[slim atlas]

that sounds like a nightmere

the fuck

is that all 8K textures

what kind of game is that lol

[timber viper]

yeah so basically I hate when they pick me up from my lovely C++ and bug me with "we cant open the map, it takes so long, i have 4070 but i get 20fps" and such

so I told them to hire somoene who can actually help

all I see is [unaccounted] in profiler

i wont play puzzle games with insights

[slim atlas]

At least i want to know what this project is lol

its probably 60gb big

something like that i wont do under 1000.

torture

come back eren

i want to know more

[timber viper]

its a relatively simple, linear, semi open world game

level design approach is similar to metro exodus

a lot of tents, rocks, trees etc exists

nanite and lumen is actively used

yet on shipping best we can get on 4070 or so is 30fps

they use a single master material for many things

and trees has masked leaf materials etc

[slim atlas]

that sounds like 4K textures to me

overloading streaming pool

and shader complexity issue

probably a custom renderer

and a post process material

[timber viper]

I spent 3-4 hours and found nothing, everyone is a bit too tired because no one is able to work on that map they're going to ship a demo one month later

all I see is acceptable draw overhead on stat unit, and 15-20ms of [unaccounted]

DLSS was taking 120ms

I disabled it

then we got 70ms draw overhead

I removed nanite to see if there is a culling issue

it ended up being worse

see this

[slim atlas]

And you want me to solve it... so you can get the money

[timber viper]

I dont want to focus on this issue anymore, I already get enough money for myself on programming side and they're looking for someone who can visit their discord channel for 1-2 hours and show some guidance on how to fix

some other team members recommended 2 people who can do it but just wanted to share with you too

[slim atlas]

That sounds sketchy XD

[timber viper]

in a sense all job offers are

[slim atlas]

I read on the thread now

All their rocks are not occluded?

is that 5.3?

[timber viper]

appearent they are culled and occluded, its just freezerendering doesnt work on nanite

its 5.3 yes, unfortunately

[slim atlas]

I dont understand

the issue is that it loads slow?

OOPF is supposed to handle this

how big are their squares

[timber viper]

two issues exists, it loads extremely slow (2.5min on loading level instances for i9), and FPS is extremely low in both editor and shipping

whats OOPF

[slim atlas]

One Object Per File

or was it actor

i dont care

[timber viper]

i think they use that

they have __ExternalActors folder

[slim atlas]

the fact that those rocks are visible OUTSIDE the square partition is wrong.

This already screams mismanagement with the eviroment art

[timber viper]

same on programming side, but luckily they hired me

[slim atlas]

I suppose i could take a look lol

how big is the project in gb

[timber viper]

would you like me to ask how much they can afford first you can negotiate better or are you in "i couldnt care less if they cant afford me so I wont work" mood

[slim atlas]

this isnt really a job lets be fair

the second i solve this puzzle they will remove me forever

XD

[timber viper]

[slim atlas]

so what securities do i have

oh ffs

[timber viper]

if it makes you feel better I wouldnt allow them

[slim atlas]

but you are not a friend eren XD

100gb project file

do they use a git

[timber viper]

p4

[slim atlas]

or a repo

at least something good

[timber viper]

send me a friend request

[slim atlas]

what if i dont solve it

[timber viper]

they'd still pay for your hourly rate i guess, they're looking for someone that they can just borrow a few hours to take guidance and solve on their own afterwards

I once volunteered to test a game for someone else, but the moment i downloaded the feedback form that he sent, i got like 2 dozen virus warnings lol. So i just assumed it was a scammer and moved on. Turned out it was indeed a legit game (it's on steam now and doing very badly), just the guy who made it wasn't super clean with his code and that somehow angered McAfee

[empty dune]

Somehow i have a feeling this person is also the type to not actually listen to feedback and instead defend their choices xD

Dodged a bullet

[upper oracle]

Also as others mentioned, I'd only test someone's game in voice chat with them and after they share their screen/etc etc not only to check it's legit but also because if you really want feedback, the best feedback is live to see/hear players reactions.

And yeah I wasn't too sure about the .exe thing but I haven't made a serious game of my own besides a few small test games so I actually wasn't sure if there were better ways for devs to hand out for playtesting.

[empty dune]

You should test my game! Many bothans are actively dying to make sure i actually finish the damn playtest build (their sacrifices are in vain 😔)

Tbf i would only playtest something in a vm or if they had a steam page

If not, im out

[empty dune]

General rule though, distributing the test build through steam sounds like the safest idea, for everyone involved

[upper oracle]

Can you put things on steam without paying if it's just a test build?

Or do you have to pay 100$ to have a test build on there?

[empty dune]

No, you have to pay the fee to host anything on steam, but honestly if someone is coming to me to help them playtest and they are not willing to dump the 100$ security deposit on steam, i wouldn't help them anyway. To me that just screams "im not serious about this" and if it's not a serious project that will ever see the light of day, why would i bother with feedback? It's not like it's gonna actually matter lol

[upper oracle]

Can you upgrade that version to the final version? Or do you have to pay another 100$ to put the final releae on there?

I agree with you but as someone who almost always has 20$ or less these are no small fees.

[empty dune]

nope, its a 1 time 100$ deposit for the steam page. what you do with the page is upto you. also that 100$ is a security deposit, you get it back completely the moment your game makes 1000$ in sales

the page allows you to host the games, create various release/test branches etc

so imo its a very good investment, one of the first things you should invest in if you want to make an indie game that actually sees the light of day

its the same with EGS store page

also the fact that a steam page gives you atleast somewhat credibility and its much easier to find people to test your games if they can download it through steam, instead of a random exe file off of the internet. you even have controls over the visibility of the page, so for example, mine is right now hidden, so only i can see it. i can use it to then distribute the playtest build when its ready and i can keep it hidden from the general public

[upper oracle]

Oooo okay! Thanks for all the info, I had no idea. I currently earn anywhere from $30-$70ish a month so I could totes save for it.

pretty good podcast https://youtu.be/jvqFAi7vkBc

[cursive crypt]

The AI fandom will be pleased.

[broken sigil]

oh Tribes 3 is out

[brittle holly]

The pace of this podcast is very similar to those sleep story audiobooks lol

[broken sigil]

yeah I kinda like it 😆
Had it in the background while I did my work

I like listening to podcasts while I work lol

[cursive crypt]

I knew an youngster doing that, he said maybe something will sink in his head.
I tried few times, but I definitely do neither.

[broken sigil]

The way Lex and Sam talk I feel like I could get in bed with a blanket with a cup of tea and fall asleep with rain outside (don't ask me about this last part, it's the feeling I get lol)

[brittle holly]

Well the board saga part was pretty much clickbait because he didn’t really say anything about it lol

[brittle holly]

I think most people get that cozy feeling from that rain outside part lol

[broken sigil]

[brittle holly]

Ik I can’t wait

[broken sigil]

I absolutely loved the first one

it's kinda funny, the plot of the first one is almost the same thing happening right now irl 😆

(like backstory)

[proud jay]

not to be a hater, but I really can't stand Sam talking

[broken sigil]

https://tenor.com/view/family-guy-peter-griffin-hatin-keephatin-hater-gif-4634959

[proud jay]

He talks like he's on the verge of dying of boredom all the time

and with the annoying vocal fry

[brittle holly]

I mean they both have this very slow rhythm tbh

[proud jay]

but lex has a normal ish voice at least

[brittle holly]

But I think with Sam it’s also having to make 100x decisions about what he should say and how

Which is why we got virtually no juicy details of that weekend

[broken sigil]

Doesn't help that Lex is taking every chance to get something out of him 😆

[proud jay]

what weekend?

is it the weekend where they put sam's vocal cords on fire?

[brittle holly]

The one where he got fired by the board and then came back and fired the board

[proud jay]

oh

[brittle holly]

He’s had limited success lol. Got him to talk about why Elon parted ways at least

[broken sigil]

[broken sigil]

yeah I laughed at that lol

[broken sigil]

and yet you have Devin (a fancy GPT4 wrapper) being presented as the first AI software engineer lol

[proud jay]

so what we're saying is all AI is shit

[brittle holly]

lol, yeah, I’m sure there’ll be many more of these fake “miracles”

Ex-Nigerian princes 😀

[broken sigil]

current models are impressive, they achieve way more than anyone expected but they have clear limits and people expects more from them than they can actually do

[proud jay]

hey, that's what I've been saying all along

[brittle holly]

I found it hilarious that Sam himself used the word “hallucinate” to describe GPT making shit up

[proud jay]

it is the scientific term after all

[broken sigil]

In reality all LLMs do is hallucinate, every output is a hallucination
It's how it can write a haiku about a banana monster

It must be weird for musicians to watch and listen to their old songs from 20-30 years ago from their "glory days"

That must be a weird feeling

I haven't even lived in the 80s and 90s and those periods feel super nostalgic to me lol

[tulip orbit]

🤔 I thought you were old enough to have lived in the 80s/90s ?

feels old

90s were great cause I was young and hopeful. Now I'm old and depressed 😦

[broken sigil]

I'm 24

[broken sigil]

Oh I'm those things already

Well without the old part

[tulip orbit]

Durn youngin!

[broken sigil]

If it makes you feel better I have been here on this discord since when I was 16... Which feels like a century ago

[tulip orbit]

it doesnt. I was already an adult and old before discord was a thing 😦

and now I should go to work 😦 which makes me more sad!

[proud jay]

well, almost a decade

[cursive crypt]

Feels like century ago because you are young actually. The older you get, the faster the time moves. A visit to a friend last summer, feels like few weeks ago.

[proud jay]

but did you buy a garden shed to put in the living room yet

[broken sigil]

I was trying to make a joke and now I feel like an ass

[cursive crypt]

Ye, aint it stupid? I suppose adults life is just too bland and the % of time an event occupies actually decreases.

ah, I'm too tired to recognize subtle jokes. Dont feel bad tho I'm exaggerating the bit about you being young making me sad.

[median wraith]

COD4 release date still feels like 10 years ago max

[cursive crypt]

How many cods can fit in a can?

[median wraith]

idk tell me

[cursive crypt]

The number of cods that can fit in a can depends on several factors, including the size of the can, the size of the cods, and whether the cods are whole, filleted, or processed into smaller pieces like flakes or chunks. Typically, for commercial purposes, cod is processed and canned in the form of fillets or chunks.

For example, a standard size for canned fish is around 170g to 200g for a small can (like those used for tuna or salmon), but the weight can vary depending on the product and packaging standards. If we're talking about cod fillets or chunks being canned, the contents would be processed to fit neatly within the can's dimensions, maximizing the use of space. You wouldn't usually find whole cods in cans, as they are much too large; Atlantic cod, for example, can reach sizes well over a meter in length.

For a more specific answer, if we consider canned cod liver, a popular canned cod product, cans are often around 100g to 120g in size due to the rich nature of the liver. These products contain the processed liver of one or possibly more cods, depending on the size of the livers.

In a practical sense, the question of how many cods can fit in a can is best answered by considering that parts of one or more cods can be processed and packed into a can, with the exact number of cods contributing to each can depending on the part of the cod being canned and the size of the original fish.

[median wraith]

oh siet

[broken sigil]

I'm already starting to experience that a bit, might not be because I'm getting older yet but because my last 4 years have been a shi*show

First I had stomach issues, couldn't leave my house, etc...

But still somehow managed to do it and go out with a friend

Then my LifeRuiningAnxietyInducing™️ events took place (aka when I blacked out), my stomach issues magically went away a new guest known as severe heart anxiety took its place

So the last time I properly went out with a friend was over 2 years ago and I still haven't given her the birthday present I bought her almost 2 years ago

So these last years have been a blur, I don't remember much of anything except going to the hospital about 10 times to turn out to be just a panic attack, and million different heart related exams I did to make sure everything is fine

Only recently, over 2 years later the situation is getting better

I refuse

This is deep thoughts with blue man before bed

[celest musk]

you probably get chunks of 20 cods in a can

guess it all goes into a big blender

maybe even more than 20 different ones

[proud jay]

why not into a big 3ds max

[cursive crypt]

Let some light shine in your life 🙏

[median wraith]

Cods itself cannot self contain on Dvds anymore

that's like telling a person without money to get money

maybe if the life ruining event fixed your stomach issues, you should just have another life ruining event to fix the anxiety

sounds like easy fix /s
