Wtf

Not even in Iran you get that low income

[mild gust]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QMXLTGGWNc

Probably also a thing maybe fixed in 5.7?

🤞

[summer cedar]

Basically, Wukong made it so that GI and Lumen set at LOW looks the same as when both are set at HIGH.

They didn't FIX anything, in so much as bring the LOW version up to HIGH visuals.

[mild gust]

I gave up on anything pre 5.5

Buggy mess

4.26 and 4.27 were okay

[summer cedar]

They haven't elaborated on mem usage improvements.

But, I imagine it's similar.

[celest musk]

i skipped over it...

did he really just correlate an dev implementing FSR4 as "they fixed the engine"?

[mild gust]

Basically

Yes

Because Black Myth Wukongs update did something 😂

[celest musk]

https://tenor.com/view/umm-umm-ok-awkward-awkward-silence-silence-gif-11785491653816199242

[summer cedar]

Yes, it appeared to be very bad at low settings, but the Wukongers - please don't confuse them with Wupongers - upgraded the low settings - apparently - without sacrificing performance.

[mild gust]

No

[median wraith]

Don't looks like any visual change tbh

[mild gust]

High+ iirc

[mild gust]

Even with DLSS4

[celest musk]

that sounds like they enabled (some of) those features for low/mid and took the performance increase from an engine update 😛

[median wraith]

That's why many studios aren't using Lumen

[celest musk]

i hate Vex, taking 30 minutes to get to a point

if he would scrub that together for those who just want some facts, the other stuff of his videos is good, but i don't want to see all this

[median wraith]

You cannot add a super high cost thing that get disabled on half of cases

That's actually a total visual change

Epic don't care as 80% of the player base disable the shadows in fornite

[celest musk]

yea, it's not feasable to support pretty much 2 lighting systems

[summer cedar]

Maybe they took advantage of this.

Using L.Reflections without the whole thing, baked lighting for the rest.

[celest musk]

yea in a world where Epic ships the engine without UnrealLightmass 😄

[celest musk]

imho that's what they should have done as default pipeline from the start

baked lighting and Lumen just for dynamic stuff

[summer cedar]

Just buy your gamers an RTX 4x card, dammit. 😛

[mild gust]

Your right

How selfish of us devs

We should buy everyone 5070 tis

[summer cedar]

That's offering too much.

[mild gust]

Heard the writing is wack

[summer cedar]

Try to walk the middle path, like a good Buddhist.

[mild gust]

I was looking forward to that game too

Day 1 dlc shit also

Like get stuffed

I blame the publisher

[white oxide]

tbh my games have planned DLC's but they arent day 1 and they are intentional "sides" like additional full scale campaigns

campaign 1 is part of the game and is full start to end, but campaign 2 is a $9.99 dlc that adds another 20+ hours of fun

[summer cedar]

If your games are going to use Lumen, don't market them here. 😛

[white oxide]

lol

[mild gust]

Why not

[white oxide]

my games are well over 2-5 years away from launch

im just an autistic overplanner

[mild gust]

Lumen will be good by then

[summer cedar]

'Cuz you'll end up being told to bake your lighting and use 5.4.

[mild gust]

Dw

[median wraith]

And the baker is fucked yee, why you will use Lumen if you have better baked light in that case then?

[summer cedar]

Yeah, in UE 10.

[mild gust]

Lol

[median wraith]

Didn't see it yet

[summer cedar]

Ask the Wukong devs.

Oh yeah, India's first AI regulation draft has been disclosed for public debate and suggestions.

Basically, the onus is being put on social media companies to ensure that their users report whether or not they have used AI generated content. If they have reported it, then that account must have at least 35% of its watch time labelled with a cautionary watermark.

If they don't report it, social media companies must flag those accounts OR they lose their 'safe harbour' status in India.

It'll be interesting to see how the discussions play out.

Please tell me you didn't put wupong in it.

I refuse.

not sure why, but....

I still refuse.

Listening, reading, and writing

I can't speak because I have no one to speak to and correct my pitch or pronunciation

So its better not to speak to avoid building up any bad habits that'll be hard to break

You can join Engoo, DMM Eikaiwa, or iTalki for Japanese tutors.

There are trial lessons available.

The NVX_gpu_memory_info extension is specified a little confusingly, and our interpretation of GPU_MEMORY_INFO_TOTAL_AVAILABLE_MEMORY_NVX of the past 15 years has been that it shall not include system memory. I have not been able to track down the thinking for that particular interpretation, and would be naturally inclined to agree with Mesa’s interpretation ; but we wrote the extension and implemented it that way, and changing it now risks breaking existing applications.

NFC sharing has been common tech though, for awhile. They probably just connected it to mobile Office and CoPilot.

I prefer using OneDrive though.

It's seamless for this.

[celest musk]

yea but i bet you all those things only sync over NFC or whatever

the data goes through the cloud

https://tenor.com/bq4JG.gif

NFC is infrared.

[celest musk]

it's not

[summer cedar]

ah, it's wireless tech

[mild gust]

Radio waves

[celest musk]

yea and pretty low bandwidth afaik

NFC data rates typically range from 106, 212, and 424 kbit/s, with 424 kbit/s being the standard maximum for many applications. While some standards allow for 848 kbit/s, this is not supported for peer-to-peer communication under the ISO 18092 standard, and the actual speed is often lower due to factors like protocol overhead and memory read times.

you've been on place 10 or smth when i've played it?!

[summer cedar]

10th place out of how many entries in that genre?

[celest musk]

nvm 😄

if you sort by popular it's pretty far on top

from all

[summer cedar]

I believe the new offline digital rupee works with NFC, too.

As long as the mobile SIM card gets a signal, people don't need to buy an internet pack separately either.

[celest musk]

yea but they only exchange a few kilobyte, if at all

[summer cedar]

Which is cool.

[summer cedar]

I think so. Aadhaar is old now.

[mild gust]

Wow

Lol

I submit this every year!

[summer cedar]

Our problem with NFC is not the data in so much as our phone leather covers are thick, executive style. They prevent the mobile phone from contacting the surface of the payment machine. So, most of the time, NFC doesn't work. 😄

Plus, UPI is just way easier.

You don't even have to approach the cash register.

[summer cedar]

Yeah, Aadhaar was introduced in 2009.

Wow, time sure flies.

[mild gust]

Yep. People have complained about privacy and hacking, but so far, the only aadhaars that have been 'hacked' have been the ones old people flashed out in public.

"What do I do with this number?" 👴

"I'll help you, old man." 🥷

And off goes their money and service registrations.

There was also some hacker group that got a hold of the aadhaar database, in 2010-2011. Turns out they couldn't break the blockchain encryption.

They were threatening to sell the 'details' online and the Indian government basically went, "Yeah, sure. Go right ahead."

According to this, only 4 Nigerians hold UE certifications.

[mild gust]

A lot of people offed themselves from this

[summer cedar]

As much as those are worth. An interesting read, regardless.

[mild gust]

Kinda sad tbh

[errant raven]

Theres not going to be any blue, purple, pink, or red skins left, aside a select few reds. Then knives and gloves will go back up in price and be safe once again

[mild gust]

Bold of you to assume they will go up

[errant raven]

It's an unregulated market

[errant raven]

Shady shit always goes on to fake the value the skins are worth

[summer cedar]

Hope you like it.

Investors just have to find the loopholes to get it back to where it was again

Its risen by another 40 cents in just a couple hours

Low tier skins will be worth more than knives

My 6 p250 sand dunes now have a chance to shine soon

[errant raven]

I didnt spend anything

I got those dropped just from playing

[summer cedar]

waste of time.

and hence, also money opportunity.

[errant raven]

What's a waste of time

Playing a game?

[summer cedar]

for you, yes.

[errant raven]

How

[summer cedar]

figure it out.

[errant raven]

Nothing to figure out

[summer cedar]

that's the problem right there.

Paid $2

[errant raven]

Itll only get higher

[mild gust]

Now I can buy a game

[errant raven]

It takes 100 blues to make 1 red

[mild gust]

I like how it shows the wear rating now

[errant raven]

Takes 5 reds to make a knife/gloves

[mild gust]

Yup

[errant raven]

That's 500 blues perma gone every second, stock will run dry fast

[summer cedar]

Why is it called Ticket to Hell?

It's the skin style

[summer cedar]

ah

[mild gust]

Me either 😛

I bought a crate

😂

Well

I got the crate for free

Bought key

🤷

[summer cedar]

Oh, sorry. I didn't open the thumbnail. I thought the name was Star Trek.

[mild gust]

I used to gamble when I was younger

[summer cedar]

I won a pachinko game and a lottery.

[mild gust]

😮

[summer cedar]

But I never waste much time on these types of games.

It's try and throw.

[mild gust]

Shits n giggles

Maybe you get lucky like my one friend and get a $3000 knife

Then you can buy steam decks and sell them for irl cash

[summer cedar]

your time is better spent in the REAL stock market 😄

[mild gust]

Fake news

[summer cedar]

step on the backs of plebians on the road to success.

[mild gust]

Invest in physical goods

[summer cedar]

Power and infra are good investments.

FMCG is also good, but you gotta be careful about scams.

Damn, medical research budgets are reducing in Japan. 🙁

[mild gust]

New PM?

Why do they need medical research

They invented a pill that regrows teeth

[summer cedar]

They have lost their edge in medical and bio-tech research.

Japan used to be pioneers. Then their funding dropped over the last couple of governments.

Of course, unlike India, they still HAVE a decent research budget.

We desperately need robust research funding from the government.

[stable gull]

keyword is robust, any funding declared will not go to research otherwise

[summer cedar]

substantial even

[stable gull]

yeah, whatever work i did with the govt so far, I can tell that none of the funding trickles down to the work

That's where most of our govt. funding is going.

[mild gust]

Department of war

[summer cedar]

Wrong nation.

[mild gust]

No no

DRDO has been doing some nifty work these days.

Lots of Mrs. Missiles being released.

[stable gull]

was about to, but the employer got arrested before I could. not sure if that was lucky or unlucky

[summer cedar]

Did you get rewarded for putting him/her/alien in jail?

[stable gull]

I did nothing, there was an interview, and then months later i called and got to know he was arrested so the process halted

i still don't know why he was arrested

[summer cedar]

We did arrest a bunch of traitors.

[stable gull]

who were they working for?

[summer cedar]

They were allegedly selling info to Pakistan and China.

[stable gull]

I can see that happening, opportunistic people

[summer cedar]

For 50,000 rupees.

peanuts money.

stupid people.

[stable gull]

I wonder if our defence is strong enough to begin with
