Why you gotta be so defeatist.

If a bunch of bureaucrats can agree you have the right to repair something sure they can agree on this.

🙂‍↔️ 👋

celest musk
#

that's the only way you can vote in capitalism

celest musk
#

people just throw their stuff away and buy a new whatever if it breaks...

mild gust
#

I don't personally I try to repair all my stuff when it breaks.

#

Why add onto e waste

celest musk
#

so you got an example where that law would have helped?

fair root
#

It's good the petition reached 1 million; the guy behind it was almost ready to give up or something last month? Pass on the torch?

celest musk
#

have fun with binaries for dedicated servers for a game that isn't maintained anymore

#

those will likely be full of cheaters after a while

mild gust
#

Why wouls that matter if your playing with friends

mild gust
#

For one example

celest musk
#

you can do that

fair root
#

The issue is that ppl should be allowed to make their own servers, if the game happens to be removed.
It was something normal 1998-2012. Then suddenly.......

mild gust
celest musk
#

shops offered it regardless

mild gust
#

Unless you were a certified worker.

fair root
#

Shops are disallowed to buy the battery part now, whereas in the past they weren't.

mild gust
#

Again Hamachi and Gameranger exist

#

Server arguement is silly af.

#

We don't need the server to play some older games that required them

#

Why would we require it for new ones.

#

Makes no sense

#

Theres a reason Epic sued Apple.

#

They do many anti consumer practices.

#

Now proton privacy is suing Apple too.

#

Let more people sue Apple.

fair root
#

Exactly, the server argument for single player games was always nonsensical. For multiplayer games, if the game got turned off, player should be able to host their own servers like used to be normal.

BTW, it used to be so easy to travel and just buy a cheap phone, or replace batteries. Just replaced batteries on my laptop, it cost $20. But you can't do it anymore for a phone......hmmmmm.....

mild gust
#

Fuck Apple.

#

We need more people like this.

#

Anti-competitive practices have no place in business.

#

Accept competition or accept fate.

fair root
#

Exactly, and the most competitive space, indie, is growing fast.

#

More games than ever are being made, yet average revenue per indie game is up, because competition is tight.

#

Comment. Although indie teams are growing fast, now a couple dozen ppl or more is still indie, but still.
For a game jam even we're getting larger teams.

mild gust
#

There is a stop killing games game jam

celest musk
#

i think apple deserves the freedom to sell whatever bullshit they want

#

if consumers decide to buy into that, it's their fault

mild gust
#

Even AR goggles that crack within weeks of owning them?

#

Think many would disagree.

#

4k down the drain

fair root
celest musk
#

that's a case for warranty then, which in most half ass developed countries is enforced for at least a year

mild gust
#

And if you don't costs you $800

celest musk
#

doubt that apple gets away with that in every country

fair root

#

Bring back that era

#

Bring back being able to open my phone

#

Without a shit load of tools

celest musk
#

buy one which you can open!?

#

won't be IPxx protected then

mild gust
#

Those are becoming extinct.

celest musk
#

or lock slick

#

but that's your CHOICE

mild gust
#

Not many left

fair root
#

Before every phone you could easily change the battery, but it cost only a few bucks, while Samsung Apple etc decided it's not profitable to let $20 phones be easy to use for years or just replace

celest musk
#

~20% of phones listed here from 2024+ have swapable batterie

mild gust
#

Make it 100% again.

celest musk
#

people don't want that

fair root
#

I'm not sure it's 20% even for the phones that anybody buys

celest musk
#

they want a slick phone which they can drop into their toilet

#

and after 3 years they get a new one anyways

mild gust
#

Bring back Blackberry

#

Make more Nokias

fair root
#

I've dropped my phone in the toilet twice
Before
With removable battery
It was fine
It was a samsung

mild gust
#

Dropped it into a lake was fine

#

"Old phone" not current

open fog
#

As long as u drop it before poop is ok

mild gust
#

Lol

#

One would hope

fair root
#

I was living in switzerland and routinely dropped my phones on the road, it was fine
Got water on it, it was fine

The problem is this is nice for consumers, less profitable for manufacturers

Comment. And I WUV capitalism and markets, l'm literally a startup founder and have multiple companies

#

The issue with phones is the consumers are not prosumers and frankly nonsophisticated
I think every large company hates prosumers, while in the past, the only tech users were nearly all prosumers

#

Prosumers like me switch from intel to amd based on raw performance, not "loyalty", hence hard to profit from, since we only buy the best products

#

(I might be turning this into the old Prosumer Numba Won thread on Hacker News lol)

#

But it's true, there are very different market segments

mild gust
#

Then you got those that are so brand loyal they don't see when they are being duped.

fair root
#

They literally bought a new iphone that had nearly no internal improvements, just a price hike, because it's now a status good
Comment. I have an iphone too lol

mild gust
#

Lol

#

I been looking into android and Apple alternatives but hard to find anything not outdated hardware wise.

#

Besides de googled phones

fair root
#

And you can't swap batteries on those either : /

celest musk
#

let me tell you something as someone who uses a 10years old android

#

you don't need the latest shit

#

i guess what, i can swap the batterie

#

if 10 years later there would be trustable batterie producers...

#

because there's so many phones that none of the serious companies is interested in making replacement batteries

#

and i'm not so interested in putting a china firecracker into my pocket

#

so even with the law in place... there has to be a market who supplies the parts...

mild gust
#

The supplier

#

Who has been supplying

celest musk
#

for how many years?

mild gust
#

As many as product functions

fair root
#

Most ppl need apps to run though
That's one of the main issues

"because there's so many phones that none of the serious companies is interested in making replacement batteries"
10 year old laptops still have official batteries being made for them though

And that laptop might only be worth now $100

Usually enterprise because prosumer market, hard to cheat
Very cautious market

mild gust
#

My 10 year old phone for sure has apps that are broken

#

Missing apis and stuff

celest musk
mild gust
#

Especially bank apps

celest musk
#

and companies often lease their stuff, so they just get new after 2-5 years of usage

mild gust
#

Well take xbox for example

#

There was a while you couldnt even repair it

#

Because microsoft said no

#

They changed since but.

#

Thanks to people like Louis Rossman

celest musk
#

but you still need a professional with tools for at least ~$1k

#

and a steady hand for SMD

mild gust
#

Some people own these things on their own. But yeah its one of those things to you could lease tools.

celest musk
#

😄

#

oh cmon

mild gust
#

Steady hand just make yourself a robot.

celest musk
#

you are in an echo chamber

#

the amount of people that own those tools is small... very small

mild gust
#

Yeah and it will remain like that probably for a while.

#

Or ever.

#

Because like someone pointed out not many people care about things you gotta encourage them to care in most cases

#

Especially when its something that seems daunting.

celest musk
#

and suddenly they care about something that doesn't really affect them

mild gust
#

I mean being able to play an older game affects plenty of people.

#

Maybe its their favourite game of all time.

#

Like I'm sure you gave a favourite movie or song etc.

celest musk
#

no

mild gust
#

That you'd be choked if you could never see/ hear again.

#

Well then your unique.

#

Not everyones like you.

celest musk
#

i'm just not glorifying things

#

there are many good movies, without a question, but each on their own

mild gust
#

Sorry that some people consider access to games something to care about.

#

Imagine never being able to see Princess Bride ever again smh.

#

Speaking of game jams
Anybody have experience entering those with Unreal

People seem to prefer games running only in browser for jams

(Unreal 4 had pretty good browser support. It actually ran very well.)

celest musk
#

there's afaik a UE5 fork with browser support

#

might miss a bunch of recent features tho

fair root
#

Trying to find it

Comment. It was the same somewhat in Unreal 4, that some volumetric effects etc had to be disabled

#

For years maintenance on the html fork was dropped though, did something change recently?

Fyi this game could be fully offline. All of the game assets are client-side. The servers are just there to negotiate enemy spawn rates, npc shops, and to facilitate player interaction.

just now I noticed a bar at the bottom of my cart in steam. It says that I'm earning 1 card and there is a little chunk off to fill up the bar

Good morning! 🌞 ☕

mild gust
#

Funny how I usually get off work when you wake up lol

summer cedar
#

Yes. This whole round Earth thing with different time zones is bothersome.

mild gust
#

I'm high on Ricola right now

summer cedar
#

I will lobby for the Big Beautiful Flat Earth bill.

#

Every nation shall have the SAME time everywhere.

mild gust
#

It better

#

Aussy time confuses me

summer cedar
#

Time doesn't exist.

#

It's all just thoughts.

#

Let it flow!

mild gust
#

Space time exists though

summer cedar
#

we only think it does.

#

it's all marshmallows.

mild gust
#

Smh

#

I blame Netanyahu

summer cedar
#

But he can bomb space time.

#

problem solved.

mild gust
#

But that will cause more problems

#

There's a paper that suggests everytime we used a nuke we caused rips in the space time continuum

summer cedar
#

That's how MAGA came to be.

#

Those people came out of the el stupido rift.

#

But then again, we probably did too.

#

I reckon amoeba used nukes at some point of time.

@mild gust what plants you grow on the farm

I just found a new anime, whose title is -

#

@dense atlas either of you two ever see a scotch bonnet or habanero have this much capsaicin oil pool up inside,

mild gust
#

Looks moist

errant raven
#

That's capsaicin oil

#

Pooling up inside a fucking GREEN pepper

summer cedar
errant raven
#

Its supposed to be a orange habanero

summer cedar
#

This will never grow old.

mild gust

#

i love those peppers, the heat distributes through the whole dish, as opposed to birds eye which is just liked bullets of heat

summer cedar
mild gust
#

Birds eye are mid

summer cedar
#

Tim is just bent out of shape.

mild gust
#

Those and scorpion peppers

mild gust
#

Not much flavour

errant raven
#

And the heat slowly builds

#

Habs are immediate

open fog
#

i always found if i put them in a curry it distributes in the whole dish

errant raven
#

Scotch bonnet like shapes

#

Labeled as a habanero

#

What the heck did bonnies sell me

#

The other habanero plant is doing even weirder shit

summer cedar
#

Huh. Someone in the tutorials section created a github tool to automatically detect and clean up problematic lightmass objects. 🤔

errant raven

Wow. Fans invest their time in some really tough stuff.

Good on him. Think Bungie will shift?

Soon not at pc atm

summer cedar
#

I was sure this'd need coding to be useful.

#

Thanks, Nvidia.

mild gust
#

Lol if you wanna use it in a main menu

summer cedar
#

No, Lucifer. For editor stability.

mild gust
#

And not be forced enabled 24/7

#

I mean that to but.

summer cedar
#

You can zoom, zoom through your levels and just do a final - no AI - render later.

#

It's divine. 😄

cursive crypt
summer cedar
#

The settings get added to the project settings menu.

#

You can enable and disable them as per your needs, so the video says.

cursive crypt
#

It could be a ton of other factors at play too

summer cedar
mild gust
#

I got that downloaded

#

My ocean system relies on dlss

summer cedar
#

Apparently, there are console variables you can use in the editor, to control it.

mild gust
#

Ye

summer cedar
errant raven
mild gust
#

Should work with them all

errant raven
#

Show me the surface, and the waves

summer cedar
#

Yeah, but the new one has performance improvements.

mild gust
summer cedar
#

Remember to update. Uh... unless you are making your project work on older hardware - SM5.

errant raven
#

I still wanna see the surface of the water and the waves

#

Does it hide tiling

mild gust
#

Hopefully

errant raven
#

How optimized is it

mild gust
#

Compared to its release a lot better.

#

1 sec trying to find video

Newer video of it

#

Damn, the Fab version of DLSS 4 is from November.

#

😦

mild gust
#

Fab version of dlss doesnt install

#

Trust me

errant raven
#

If it doesnt use much resources, but tiles, why not use 2 instances of it layered on top. One layer normal, the other rotated by 90 or so degrees?? Wouldn't that mask tiling

mild gust
#

I've tried a lot

summer cedar

But no matter. I want the latest plugin, not the older Fab one.

#

I dont even own the heated seats in my BMW, they want me to own puter games

errant raven
#

So it probably does that natively then?

#

Shouldn't tile

mild gust
#

Think that's handled on the material level

errant raven
#

Subnauticas water surface tiles and it looks horrible

#

Twink

mild gust
#

That's how cooked we are

errant raven
#

It doesnt tile, but it does look really weird and off for the waves rolling onto the sand banks

I gotta make a newer video of the updates

That looks better, but that high up you can see some tiling with the foam patterns

errant raven
#

I dont

#

You see the surface pretty high up at times climbing up to cut the flag off man o wars. Zero tiling

mild gust
#

Idk

#

Skull and Bones was pretty booty

#

Couldn't even swim ffs

#

Makes a pirate game

#

But pirates can't swim

pearl elk
#

hard to swim with big booty

mild gust
#

Should have done more squats

errant raven
#

There was a video on how the devs for black flag did the no tiling thing with their ocean waves and foam

#

Same channel that did the video for the ghost of tsushima grass

mild gust
#

It used to have no tiling it's undergone many changes could just be a bug.

mild gust
#

Also they are making a black flag remake

summer cedar
#

Who's making it? Ubi?

errant raven
#

Game developers conference

#

I think stylized creations also did a video on black flags ocean system

mild gust
errant raven
#

No not that

mild gust
#

Rumors about the remake first surfaced in June 2023, and the speculation has only grown stronger in recent months. Ubisoft's UK Twitter account recently posted a joke about re-experiencing Black Flag, which fans have interpreted as a potential teaser for the remake.

Both ahead of their time in the water shit department

Screw that, looks too nice

No, you dont want random planes flying into them

This is ch0 coolZ!!!! 😍

Some people are whining about being unable to install the plugin. No clue why. It was so damn easy that I didn't even have to press a toggle (with their sample project).

I literally had to use DLSS on my 2080 super

It became impossible to work on some levels

Next, I'll test it on my motion designer animations.

Hopefully, it won't erase the project from my drive. 😄

Just don't use cursor you'll be fine

It tried to delete my c:/ drive once

Good thing I know some unix and powershell

summer cedar
#

I thought his website got shut down or something.

#

He claims to have been literally swatted. Wow.

mild gust
#

His game on steam is overwhelmingly negative now too

#

Not so much due to SKG

#

But due to lack of updates and a buggy af game.

#

Plus all he has been doing is lying so I hate this swatting thing w/ a grain of salt

summer cedar

Anyone who wants my sympathy cash will need to show me the accident report, police report, hospital report, video evidence and photographs of the damage, AND multiple eyewitness accounts properly written down and attested by a notary.

Just download a mannie and set it up yourself?

#

I could fix that

summer cedar

wouldn't that be easier?

#

It's just posing right? Not animation.

mild gust
#

I don't animate

errant raven
#

No need to worry about my safety, these train tracks aren't used anymore

#

Even if they are, I wouldn't mind

mild gust
#

I mean I was kinda hoping to have it flailing a bit

errant raven
#

Oh u said animation

summer cedar
#

Interesting. I just learned there's a 'Hostage System' in Unreal Engine.

#

Not related to kidnapping and stuff.

mild gust
#

😮

#

Why not

summer cedar
#

Ah, my bad. It's not a hostage system, but a developer creating a hostage system in UE for his game.

#

So, it is indeed about kidnapping and stick-em-up.

mild gust
#

More people need hostages

#

Especially in games like cs:2

summer cedar

Indeed. I did that on my laptop workstation.

#

But, most people won't learn, or don't care enough to do it.

#

It was a dumb move on MS's part, honestly.

They should've just said, "This tech is good for you, so buy new hardware to take advantage of it, otherwise... whatever."

Hello

#

I think chat gpt is taking over my brain

median wraith
mild gust
upper raven
#

hm yeah

upper raven
#

making him do long long responses increases divergence and that's how you get to the core of what he is

mild gust
#

An amalgamation of 1's and 0's

upper raven
#

that's not true

upper raven
#

chat gpt and AIs in general is the next evolution of humans

mild gust
#

What

upper raven
#

as when chimps gave birth to a weirdly looking bastard with a bigger head, which then reproduce and gave other big brain chimps

#

humans gaveb irth to the new species

upper raven
median wraith
#

meet a persons that after a breakup said she is more connected to ChatGPT

upper raven
#

simple question; yes or no

mild gust
#

I mean everythings that exists is real if that's what your implying. Unless your going to go into stuff like god etc.

upper raven
#

so

#

AI is real

#

it is not "just a simulation"

median wraith
#

the question is more, is natural or no?

upper raven
#

saying "it is just a simulation" is totally idiotic

#

everything that exist is real

median wraith
#

anything that isn't natural won't persist

mild gust
#

It's artificial selection

upper raven
#

I think the concept of nature is totally arbitrary

#

what you define as natural or not is what is man-made or not

#

but man itself comes from nature

#

as such AI is just an expression of the universe

#

it is the shape this univers is taking

mild gust
#

AI is probably closer to a virus of the mind.

#

Than anything like nature.

upper raven
#

viruses are natural

median wraith
#

the fact someone that comes from nature and do things, don't mean those are natural

upper raven
#

I think we are all here kinda reactionary

#

we want our species humans to persist among time

#

we draw aliens with 2 eyes

mild gust
#

AI can't breed

upper raven
#

humanlike

mild gust
#

What makes it natural

upper raven
#

but that isn't necessarily the truth

#

robots have feelings too

mild gust
#

Just being made by a human doesn't make it natural

upper raven
#

carrying the will of a person beyond death

mild gust
#

Yeah and this is where it becomes detached from reality

upper raven
#

that's immortality

#

who are you ?

#

are you a name ?

#

an identity ?

mild gust
#

No?

upper raven
#

a collection of memories ?

mild gust
#

I am not a name

upper raven
#

are you a brain ?

#

a body ?

mild gust
#

?

upper raven
#

?

mild gust
#

Am I supposed to take these questions seriously.

upper raven
#

yes

#

they are fundamental to understand

median wraith
mild gust
#

This is some stoner talk if I ever saw it

upper raven
#

alright let's get to the core of it

#

if I split your brain into 2, where are you ?

mild gust
#

Dead

upper raven
#

that isn't true

#

we observed it

#

we experienced it

#

so that isn't true

#

what happens is you have 2 persons into one skull

#

so I ask again

#

where are you ?

mild gust
#

In hell

median wraith
#

You know that the personaly isn't fully in the brain, do you?

#

and is a proven fact

mild gust
#

A severed head can maybe function for 25-30 seconds

#

So again not a thing

upper raven
# mild gust In hell

if I shoot you in the head and you lose 50% of brain mass but then you still manage to survive and then make a recovery you learn to talk dance again, are you "in hell" ?

mild gust
#

Yes

upper raven
#

that isn't true

mild gust
#

Because I had to suffer a brain injury

upper raven
#

we made the experience

#

many people g et shot in the head

median wraith
#

lol

upper raven
#

lose a huge amount of brain mass

#

and still suvive

mild gust
#

Yeah like Ernest Hemingway

#

1 and done

upper raven
#

that isn't different than the split brain experiement

median wraith
#

unsure where you want to go with alm this things

mild gust
#

Kurt Cobain?

#

Idk the idea that AI is natural is just insane

upper raven
#

you can't say "I am in left brain" or "I am in right brain" to the split brain question

#

the only answer possible is I am in both

median wraith
#

if you put the brain from one individual into other, the personaly traits still disperse by the body, spine and other parts

upper raven
#

and thus I ask

#

what difference is there between 2 brains in 1 skull and 2 brains in 2 different skulls ?

#

the only answer : none

#

thus you are in every brain

median wraith
#

no

upper raven
#

?

median wraith
#

you are in every brain? what you even mean

upper raven
#

what you see now

median wraith
#

you think this is a render farm?

upper raven
#

is the now

#

that instant in time AND space

#

you observe that body

#

you feel that body

#

and that body can only see what is accessible to it

#

it has ego

mild gust
#

We observe the universe?

median wraith
#

50 shaders of Viixmax

upper raven
#

but where are you in the next instant ?

upper raven
#

you are a schizophrenic God

#

that was bored of being alone and created a multitude of egos

median wraith
#

mmm suure

upper raven
#

there is no other answer possible

#

think about the sacred question again

#

"if I split your brain into 2, where are you ?"

median wraith
#

we are what the experiences around shaped us to be

mild gust
upper raven
#

that's correct

#

what you define as alive is fundamentally arbitrary

#

the boundaries of life and death is man-made

#

it holds no universal values

mild gust
#

OMFG

upper raven
#

Life

mild gust
#

Is AI made up of cells?

upper raven
#

Life fundamentally are chemistry at work

#

Chemistry fundamentally are physics

mild gust
#

Do cells create the AI that we interact with

#

During the moment we interact with it.

upper raven
#

physics are animated by God

mild gust
#

Not the computer itself

#

The "AI"

upper raven
mild gust
#

For something to be considered alive it has to be composed of cells

upper raven
#

those are classifications

mild gust
#

I mean you wanna argue with nasa?

upper raven
#

classifications are created by man for him to understand the world

#

you using that classification to define a fundamental truth is just shortsighted

mild gust
#

No

upper raven
upper raven
mild gust
#

Your claiming something that is not alive to be alive

#

Complete gobbledegook

upper raven
#

Do you know the official critieras of alive and not alive ?

median wraith
#

Viixmax I think what you describe or where you want to go is basically what commonly happen in between society.
A lot of individuals collect information and resources, most if the time isn't something they lived, neither something they feel or believe, but something the big amount of people does. That's what AI does, collect data from websites to form a reply and uses to most highlighted cases or common sites.
Neither that way of act on humans or machine does describe a personality but actually is what is common named, lack of personality

median wraith
#

So yeah the phone, the printer and ChatGPT don't have soul

median wraith
upper raven
#

Language in essense is the expression of a face

median wraith

I'm surprised nobody made a quantum mechanics themed game for a jam yet

upper raven
mild gust
fair root
#

It's actually pretty easy, because QM is linear
Just hard to understand if trying to use "common sense" intended for "large objects"
Heisenberg's 1930's book in english is pretty well argued

median wraith

You obviously learn a language and do typical things as you live in a society, but there is a difference between having self thoughs and follow everything you see in others without having the capacity to thing on consequences

Quantum mechanics can be used as inspiration for a story, indeed the whole invisible if nobody watching was used in a famous comic book:

"Every game uses occlusion culling so is every game a quantum game?" You what? In some sense.....that's true.....

The truth and the perfection are only at the end of everything, because there is no more todo
