Are we seriously arguing if American politics count as American politics or world politics??

It’s an American guy who is being tried in America for killing an American health insurance ceo, which is a problem particularly in America

In news for what? He didn’t win a song contest. The only reason anyone recognizes him is because he briefly became the face of class warfare. You know, completely apolitical stuff

Same, it’s hard to get excited about a product I can’t buy

Samsung Semiconductor: Buy these exynos chips and put them in your phones
Samsung Electronics: Ok buddy 😊

Samsung Semiconductor: I lost money, raise your phone prices to make up for it
Samsung Electronics: Of course! ✨️💫

Samsung Electronics: I need ram to put in phones Samsung Semiconductor: lol no

it’s back

I’m stealing this

I didn’t know ps had streaming only games. Looking it up it seems to be specifically ps3 titles, which makes sense to me considering that the ps3 cell processor is notoriously hard to emulate.

Online only single player games are able to exist because most people have some sort of a connection all the time and they either don’t know or care that the game is connecting to internet when they play.

Cloud gaming is a noticeably worse experience and it has much stricter requirements. I think you underestimate the backlash there would be if the next cod just downloaded a streaming client.

I am concerned that a generation of gamers will sink thousands of dollars into streaming services, end up owning nothing and have a worse experience in the process. I don’t know how to prevent that other than giving people financial stability to make smart decisions.

1. People using it as a replacement for another person, a search engine or for generating media. These aren’t things you used to use a PC for.
2. It’s factually not.
3. Obviously. I’m not saying price increases are a good thing. My point is that higher prices won’t lead to people flocking to LLMs, they’ll keep using what they have even if it’s slow.
4. Yet for oop’s theory to be viable they need to stay up for longer than the current computers stop being viable.
5. I don’t question that the AI boom is the cause of price increases. The problem is that even if you alter the theory to be about cloud computing in general the fact that we still have PCs disproved it.
6. I didn’t see anything about this being about local LLMs. I’m sorry for the people whose primary pc use case was self hosted LLMs but didn’t have the memory to run them…

Maybe this’ll slow down the adoption of self hosted LLMs, but most people either need a computer for something they can’t use an LLM for or they already use an online LLM for it.

Yeah only if cloud gaming was attempted by a big player like Microsoft, Sony, Google or Microsoft…

This is a stupid take on so many levels.

1. There isn’t a single PC use case LLMs can replace.
2. ‘Computation’ done by an LLM is in no way comparable to a computer.
3. Existing computers don’t become incapacitated because prices rose.
4. Price increases aren’t permanent.
5. Cloud computing isn’t new.
6. Computers don’t need oogles of ram to be capable.

Getting tired of this trend of people cobbling up hot takes from other people’s opinions.

Gaming, as they were wondering if their phone had the oomph to do it.

I think memory is going to be the limiting factor. 12 gigs is very limiting on non-console systems

Wasn’t this all happening because Nvidia bought all the supply

I think it’d be better to have assist modes than difficulty options. As difficulty is traditionally associated with changing things like health and damage (or worse, opaquely disabling mechanics) that are fundamental to game balance I think it is too easy to be abused as a cop out from having to balance the game.

Things like slowing the pace of the game, adding aim assist, visual indicators for audio cues, more lenient hit boxes, more frequent saves would be way more useful imo. Optional mechanics or modifiers can exist, but they shouldn’t be bundled with other random stuff.

• Description of the effects and hardware demands of graphics options.
• An actual benchmark for ‘optimized settings’ (even if it’s just crunching numbers) instead of hardcoded GPU names.
• Clear indication of which difficulty the game was balanced for.
• Msaa. Hate running old games at 200 fps with jagged edges and blur thanks to fxaa.
• Instant controls switching between controller and keyboard. Tired of games that pick input type at startup, pick input glyphs at startup, ignore first button press from a different input before switching, disable controller if keyboard input is detected etc etc.
• Not games but steam: just let me force steam input on all games like Proton.

Also how ‘full potato’ do you want it to be? I assume the settings don’t scale below low, so it’d be just turning off shadows, reflections etc. Would even the lowest resolution textures fit in the vram of an older card? And besides, the engine is probably designed for modern multi core cpus so even if the graphics could be scaled down it might not run well

Conversely I can’t remember a game in recent memory that didn’t let me pause in cutscenes.

Just off of my head: Ubisoft games, Control, Shadow of Mordor, Crysis, Witchers, Borderlands 2, Devil May Cry, Celeste had it.

Of course current stock being upmarked is end seller greed

So, speculation. They read that the supply was going to be limited and they’re trying to cash in as quick as possible.

This has to be speculation. No way the supplies dired up so fast in a month
