    Guess a nuclear attack would actually lessen the load on the global internet, rather than increase it - like a DDOS would!

    It’s good to be skeptical, but this guy is the inventor of quite a bit of architecture software supporting modern systems I think it’ll be fine

    Beautiful way to combine a slippery slope argument with a strawman

    Yeah I tried Firefox and Chrome EDIT: Maybe take some inspiration from Three.js? This demo works fine for Firefox and Chrome with a nice, smooth cursor that I'm used to https://thr…

    The aiming is very choppy because it feels like my cursor is "on rails", or stuck in some kind of grid. Not representative of any modern shooting game I've played. I think this wou…

    I’ll try this out later. Mostly interested in the controller handling, will this pass-through my Steam Controller or emulate it to an Xbox controller like Sunshine does? If it’s pa…

    Sunshine is the stable, maintained one. That should work fine for most users.

    What do we "regular folk" really own in our lives? Our houses are rented or loaned (via mortgage), the car is paid off in installments, everything is a subscription or license. Man…

    I'm sad that Gabe Newell will retire one day, and Steam's benevolent dictatorship will go down the same route Sony just did. The convenience of digital game storefronts can cut bot…

    Are you arguing that Holocaust/Nazi jokes should be accepted socially, as long as you only deliver them to people who respond positively to Holocaust/Nazi jokes?

    The cynic (or realist?) in my thinks this abstraction layer is Apple's way of making sure that users give their own Apple Intelligence credit for the underlying LLM functionality, …

    That's the fun part, they can charge the same API costs with a downgraded model

    No mention of making my homepod mini “Truly helpful”, so I’ll stick to just sticking timers, I guess.

    A year ago (or so) I had a colleague whose messages were all obviously AI-generated. I told them that it felt weird that they were sending me AI answers in Slack and code reviews, …

    Game developers (mostly... hopefully?) try to optimize for the "fun" aspect of a game, not the "realism of the flight/flight instinct" aspect

    Yeah right, so who is the target? How do they target them? You don't even need an account for Anna's Archive, and you can download through a VPN

    You claim "very high quality" but can't even get the basic UI working properly. You wrap tmux and a container in 2k lines of code and claim quality, I think the comment above was a…
