Give me jetpacks, or give me death!

>before you criticize us, remember that we make that 1 good article every few years, so we totally deserve unlimited funds to do with as we please
No, fuck off. HuffPo has done dozens of times more harm over the years than good. The only good thing it has consistently done is expose the growing brain rot of the left-wing/progressive movement.

Pst... Hey... our jetpacks are guaranteed to get you to the moon.

@LukeAlmighty I don't even open the youtube player much these days. For some regular stuff, I use gpodder to subscribe to the channels and download videos, and for random recommended things, I have a script set up to play via mpv. I technically could disable adblock on YouTube and survive just fine without seeing many ads. But I still don't.

@LukeAlmighty Good point. Still, I refuse to subject myself to people like Destiny directly. If he says something even close to being important or interesting, I know there will be more sane people I follow that will cover him. That's more than enough exposure for me.

@LukeAlmighty Good tech and cool tech demo, but it's simply being used in the wrong place.

Just like when they tried to take DLSS tech and apply it to make regular video playback look sharper. It's a cool idea in principle, but it's ridiculously energy wasteful.

I remember when LTT tried it out, and it maxed the GPU usage. It's simply unlikely that just streaming video content at a higher bitrate could use more energy than playing it back with this DLSS hack. So it's a cool tech demo, but you simply wouldn't want this used on mass. The tech could be used for something like restoring old footage, but it shouldn't be used for internet video playback (like they advertised it for) when it would be more energy efficient to just encode content at higher bitrate and/or resolution.

The same with this thing. It is good tech, and I'm sure it could be useful somewhere. Maybe even in the development process of 3D face models and textures, but not directly in the consumer hands.

@LukeAlmighty Am I understanding this right, are you watching Destiny? Are your neurons ok? I'm worried for you.

@VD15 @LukeAlmighty
Of course they don't strictly need it to make games worse, but it allows them to continuously be lazier and lazier in their work, while pretending they're the bomb. Same with DLSS.

@LukeAlmighty
>why have good 3D models and textures, when you can use thousands of watts of electricity to brute force a bad AI model to make your game look decent instead

Can we seriously fuck Nvidia into oblivion already?! I'm so done with this bullshit. Can we stop pretending like part of the problem for why games are so horrendously optimized now isn't Nvidia's DLSS and RTX tech?

@j Why the fuck do they care? Does Mastodon have it's own Orwellian fact-checking council, and is upset Facebook is throwing its out? Cause I didn't hear Eugen making a pact with various "fact-checkers" and "anti-hate speech" NGOs to scrub Mastodon's timeline. So I don't fucking see why he's complaining?

Hey kid... do you want a jetpack?

@j You one of those gearless bike enthusiasts?

Ok, hear me out: jetpacks.

@SuperDicq I'd like to believe that Gemini AI literally made a reddit account, asked this question on reddit, and then someone literally told the AI to go kill itself.

@graf That is both beautiful and scary.

I found a Google Spreadsheet that tracks FuwaMoco sneezes...
Today I have witnessed insanity.

@j That's honestly impressive. I didn't think it was gonna keep (for the 4k stream) even bitrates comparable to what you find for 1080p bluray discs (30-40Mbps). Only reducing it by about half is way more than I expected.

@rasterman
He never had a N64. His parents were poor, so he only ever had a NES to play, and his favorite game was ET... not that he had any other game.
Rumor has it that the rage from the game is what made him invent a personal time travel device, go back to WW2, and attempt to change history by committing a genocide.
