I picked it up in a sale recently, it’s not normally my type of game but I thought I’d give it a shot. I’m only a couple of hours in and loving it so far.

The story is sucking me in and I’m starting to appreciate the combat, things seem to be unlocking at about the pace I can understand. I’m a little worried it’ll be repetitive but it looks like there’s plenty of opportunity to be creative to keep it interesting.

Definitely my solo game for the longer nights ahead.

Glad to hear it

Remember when OpenAI launched Dall-E 2? You got a few tokens for free images and then had to pay for it. Presumably that was at least some reflection on the cost of producing the images.

Now you can create video for free and consumer expectations that generative AI should be super cheap have been set. That genie is not going to go easily back into the bottle.

I’m reportedly getting ready to move to CoMaps.

Pip is the Python package manager styled to look like npm the Node package manager

ReactJs is styled to look like AngularJS

The crab is the Go gopher styled to look like the Rust crab.

At this point ordering from AliExpreas is a better experience than Amazon.

I think that’s his, equally as scummy, brother Tristan

I still have two decks to gold stake. Then I’ll quit. Honest.

This is the thing I don’t understand about businesses like Cursor. They take two other companies products (Claude and VS Code) and smash them together and sell the result at a loss. How is that much of a business when basically what you’ve got is something that could have been a VsCode plugin.

My friend group enjoyed Splitgate 1 but we just bounced off Splitgate 2. It just wasn’t fun. Portals seemed to be an afterthought, rather than fundamental to the gameplay. Also the maps we played seemed to be tighter and less arena based.

Still not sure why they decided to do ‘2’ rather than continuing to iterate on the first one really.

It’s a cut and paste of all the other letters. I’ve seen more effort put into bulk job applications.

My local NHS doctor adopted a new platform recently. It took a surprisingly large amount of effort to confirm Palantir weren’t involved before I agreed to login to it. I would have flat out refused to use it if Palantir were involved.

Personally I don’t think there’s any obligation. Folks have campaigned for rights to be enjoyed, not for those people who receive the rights to feel obligated to join the fight.

If you can afford it consider donating to a charity that supports campaigners for the rights you enjoy. This way you can increase their ability to campaign without needing to be directly involved.

I tried this on my 6700XT I had to play in 720p, the performance was that bad. Any of the available upscalers just made it look worse.

I upgraded to a more modern card since then and it works fine, but if you’re on something like a 6700xt I’d be wary or prepare to refund if you don’t like the performance.

When I think of the Online Safety Act I think of Humphrey Appleby in Yes Minister. There’s a line where he says “The Official Secrets act isn’t to protect secrets, it’s to protect officials”.

The Online Safety Act exists to protect the safety of the government, not its people.

‘Soar’ is fine. It’s taking about the relative value of the currency vs the dollar. Not the attitude of the countries toward the dollar, where indeed ‘sour’ would be appropriate.

Ripples from Friday and Monday’s record rally in the Taiwan dollar are now spreading outward, driving surges for currencies in Singapore, South Korea, Malaysia, China and Hong Kong.

Yeah this article is woefully uninformed. Author seems to be butt hurt about GPU pricing rather than any serious interest in how the protocol actually works.

I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s due to the ‘don’t call them exemptions’ covering the console but not separate controllers.

Yeah pulling nearly 600w through a connector designed for 600w maximum just seems like a terrible idea. Where’s the margin for error?

The 30 day pause was for Canada and Mexico. The Chiba tariffs are already implemented.
