Hi, this is HN. It's perfectly reasonable to ask for sources. There isn't any need to be so hostile.

Can someone explain this vtoon trend to me? It doesn't seem to be driven by anonymity because their real name is easily findable, so I assume it's something else? It seems very common, especially in certain communities.
In case of Marcan/Lina I got the impression that he created Lina just for fun. It started as an April fools joke (Lina 'took over' Marcan's live stream), but Marcan seems to enjoy it a lot, even going so far as contributing to the Inochi2D software (used to render Lina) to improve all sorts of facial features. I don't have the impression that in Marcan's case it was ever about anonymity, it is more about a creative e…
Isn't it the opposite, though? https://twitter.com/marcan42/status/1582930401118806016

In C? No, not unless you write your own scaffolding to do it. In C++? Maybe, but you’d need to make sure you stay on top of using thread safe structures and smart pointers. What Rust does is flip this. The default is the safe path. So instead of risking forgetting smart pointers and thread safe containers, the compiler keeps you honest. So you’re not spending time chasing oddities because you missed a variable initia…
Of course it's possible in either. By the way, Mac drivers are in fact written in a subset of C++. At least they used to be, maybe that has changed.
They are written in a strange subset of C++ with its own inheritance system and currency classes.
In NeXTStep they were written in ObjC, and probably should've stayed that way.

I like your optimism, but it seems more like a Phillip K. Dick novel to me. >In 2021, society is driven by a virtual Internet, which has created a degenerate effect called "nerve attenuation syndrome" or NAS. Megacorporations control much of the world, intensifying the class hostility already created by NAS. from Johnny Mnemonic What can we do to make it more utopian?
It's an interesting set of tradeoffs - vtubing has made it possible for people to be on-screen personalities who normally would not able to as easily because it can be very hard to overcome problems with your IRL appearance. That stuff really matters if you want to succeed on YouTube or Twitch. In comparison if you want to be a vtuber, there are relatively affordable ways to grab a stock model and customize it. You c…

That's not the reason most of the popular ones do it. (Ironmouse, sure, but not anyone else.)
Most of the bigger ones are corporate characters, so they're actually forced to hide themselves and it's more like they're uncredited actors. Besides that, it gives you privacy, avoids stalkers, means you don't have to do your makeup or get dressed (up or at all), things like that. Appearance still definitely matters though, but now it's your voice carrying you and not your face.

Things must have changed in recent years, as it must have absolutely started out as a mandatory legal requirement. From my understanding it dates to some of the earliest digital cameras that didn't have shutter noises built-in and has nothing to do with carriers.
I believe that's true in Korea (or at least the govt regulators ask for it) but it's always been a carrier cartel thing in Japan. https://articles.inqk.net/2018/02/09/japan-iphone-shutter.ht...
That goes against everything I've ever heard on the subject and I don't recognize this site. Also if it was a carrier reason, wouldn't the sound appear if you were roaming in Japan? It doesn't.
Re: Tales of the M1 GPU
#287The fact so much hardware these days is running a full real-time OS all the time annoys me. I know it is normal and understandable but everything is such a black box and it has already caused headaches (looking at you, Intel).
I sometimes wonder about how fast tings could go if we ditch the firmware, and also just bake a kernel / os right into the silicon. Not like all the subsystems which run their own os/kernels, but really just cut every layer, and have nothing in between.
It'd be slower. These coprocessor OSes are there to improve performance in the first place.
(Especially because wall clock time is not the only kind of performance that matters.)
Re: Tales of the M1 GPU
#288Half the comments here are talking about the vtuber herself. Who cares. It's been talked before. Just imagine if half the thread is discussing what gender she is. What I am interested in is the claims here https://asahilinux.org/2022/11/tales-of-the-m1-gpu/#rust-is-... . (what is it called if it comes with a proof?). The resident C/C++ experts here would have you believe that the same is possible in C/C++. Is that tr…

You haven't heard of Buzzfeed Japan? You're welcome to try to find the law though.

If it was geofenced you could disable it by putting it in airplane mode, so it's by purchase country instead. (On recent phones it does turn off if you leave Japan though.)

50k active users online right now would put Second Life at the 13th most active game on Steam.
Which is when folks start getting into the ‘huh. People still play that?’ part of the list, near as I can tell. [ https://store.steampowered.com/charts/mostplayed ]
Yeah the way folks talk about steamcharts is wild. Honestly I think it’s kinda bad for gaming, but I understand why people do it.
