The whole premise of a debate usually comes with the connotation that you will never get convinced, and that if the other person was more convincing than you, then you “lost” and just need to be more persuasive next time.
So yes, just telling someone their opinions are bad usually doesn’t work and is a waste of effort, no matter how well written and supported you are.
Yeah, I think you have to start Skyrim VR with openvr while in the steam VR home iirc or it won’t work correctly
Using openxr would give better performance but then the bindings fall apart
And yea the index is currently pretty outdated imo, I would definitely wait
here are some pages I found from the last time I looked into this

for high vram ai stuff it might be worth waiting and seeing how the 24gb b580 variant is
Intel has a bunch of translation layer sort of stuff though that I think generally makes it easy to run most CUDA ai things on it, but I’m not sure if common ai software supports multi gpu with it though
IDK how cash limited you are but if it’s just the vram you need and not necessarily the tokens/sec it should be a much better deal when it releases
Not entirely related but I have a full half hourly shapshotted computer backup going to a large HDD in my home server using Kopia, its very convenient and you don’t need to install anything on the server except a large drive and the ability to use ssh/sftp (or another method, it supports several). It supports many compression formats and also avoids storing duplicate data. I haven’t needed to use it yet, but I imagine it could become very useful in the future. I also have the same set up in the cli on the server, largely so I can roll back in case some random person happens upon it and decides to destroy everything in my Minecraft server (which is public and doesn’t have a whitelist…). It’s pretty easy to set up and since it can back up over the internet, its something you could easily use for a whole family.
My home server (with a bunch of used parts plus a computer from the local university surplus store) was probably about ~170$ in total (i7 6700, 16gb ddr4, 256gb ssd, 8tb hdd) and is enough to host all of the stuff I have (very light modded MC with geyser, a gitlab instance, and the backup) very easily, but it is very much not expandable (the case is quite literally tiny and I don’t have space to leave it open, I could get a pcie storage controller but the psu is weak and there aren’t many sata ports), probably not all that future proof either, and definitely isn’t something I would trust to perform well with AI models.
this (sold out now) is the hdd I got, I did a lot of research and they’re supposed to be super reliable. I was worried about noise, but after getting one I can say that as long as it isn’t within 4 feet of you you’ll probably never hear it.
Anyways, it’s always nice to really do something the proper way and have something fully future proof, but if you just need to host a few light things you can probably cheap out on the hardware and still get a great experience. It’s worth noting that a normal Minecraft server, backups, and a document editor for example are all things that you can run on a Raspberry Pi if you really wanted to. I have absolutely no experience using a NAS, metasearch, or heavy mods however, those might be a lot harder to get fast for all I know.
Such as in The Expanse
(I don’t think she was trans but that’s what the name reminds me of)
Microsoft had relatively interesting ideas concerning 3D and VR content, then proceeded to do an extremely mediocre execution, simultaneously dumbing everything down while also making it hard to use, and then proceeded to discontinue their software after almost never touching it again for seven years
I have a Reverb G2 (windows mixed reality headset), it is really a good headset and is still competitive with the Quest 3 in several areas for use on PC. The WMR software itself isn’t that bad and I think if it had more care and attention put into it it could genuinely have been great. If they had better home options, user created homes, more customization and the ability to fix things in place so you don’t accidentally move them, the ability to add (even just user created) minigames and dynamic objects that stay in the world, and (most importantly) the ability to actually invite other people into the space to play with you and launch into other games. They’re Microsoft, they were large enough and early enough that I’m sure they could even have gotten game developers on board with some protocol that automatically brings people you’re playing with into a multiplayer session of whatever game you start. I think they were onto something with their home system and could have fleshed the software out into something much better than even the modern competition. Of course it’s all discontinued now, the latest version of Windows doesn’t even support it, I plan to continue to use the old version until it stops getting security patches in 2026 and then switch to Linux where hopefully the open source people will finally fully support using controllers.
Yes, the game should account for latency as much as it can, so a conscious decision to lead or trail probably won’t help. It’s more useful for debugging sort of purposes imo, like figuring out if your network is slow or if it’s just the person you’re playing against.
It sounds like they’re tying the effect of attacks to the actual fine detail game textures/materials, which I guess are only available on the GPU? It’s a weird thing to do and a bad description of it IMO, but that’s what I got from that summary. It wouldn’t be anywhere near as fast as normal hitscan would be on the CPU, and it also takes GPU time which generally is more limited with the thread count on modern processors being what it is.
Since there is probably only 1 bullet shot most of the time on any given frame, the minimum size of a dispatch on the GPU is usually 32-64 cores (out of maybe 1k-20k), just to calculate this one singular bullet with a single core. GPU cores are also much slower than CPU cores, so clearly the only possible reason to do this is if the data needed literally only exists on the GPU, which it sounds like it does in this case. You would also first have to transfer that there was a shot taken to the GPU, which then would have to transfer that data back to the CPU, coming with a small amount of latency both ways.
This also only makes sense if you already use raytracing elsewhere, because you generally need a BVH for raytracing and these are expensive to build.
Although this is using raytracing, the only reason not to support cards without hardware raytracing is that it would take more effort to do so (as you would have to maintain both a normal raytracer and a DXR version)
Clearly the best way is to first separate hue, saturation, and value, and then combine them but set value to 1
I did some messing around

Minecraft vanilla actually lets you edit the vertex and fragment shaders now I think
I looked it up and apparently it was introduced in 1.17, but they allowed you to add a custom post processing shader from back in 1.7
The browser would also have to guarantee that you yourself didn’t edit the website. It’s not supposed to insure that the content was real, only that that website really had that content on it.
Yeah, that’s kinda why I thought a screenshot thing would be better. It could also ideally work on private data like DMs. The idea also includes having the URL as tagged unencrypted metadata on the image, that anyone can access by opening the image in a metadata website (or the hypothetical authenticity checking service)
From what others are saying though, it sounds like my original screenshot idea would probably be impossible, so linking to the source is the best we can actually do
That’s why having the URL as part of the hash is important. I’m thinking less for real photos and more for ‘screenshot of a deleted tweet’ sort of things.
What got me thinking about this actually was whether there would be a way to verify which screenshots of the Google search AI are real and which are fake.
No, the 13 doesn’t have that shaded area to the left of the camera bump
the obvious solution is to sacrifice control of your software and hardware to some proprietary third-party system that presumably has no stake in the outcome, but that causes more problems than it solves.
Yes, I can imagine a world in which some company has a system like this, and then could discreetly delete hashes from the database if they see the original image and realize that it shows evidence of something they don’t like.
If it would be used for actual investigative journalism or criminal evidence, its giving that company a lot of power.
yes, it would need some way to prove the exact software it was made in, and I’m not sure that’s possible
It would actually be convenient to have a screenshot feature that also automatically links to the latest archive of the website
there are situations though where that doesn’t work, such as if this can only be seen on your account, like if you take a screenshot of a DM or something
I just got that one with the 4 camera spots recently, its the oneplus 12
I mostly got it because its fast and has a good battery life, but it also has decent cameras ig, although most people say the google pixels have better cameras
Anyways, it has a normal camera, a wide angle camera, a 3x zoom camera, and the last one is not a camera but an ambient light sensor and 13 channel light sensor (I think? its hard to find info on this actually)
People were saying it would have a full 12 channel actual image sensor there with a decently high resolution, but I guess that didn’t end up happening
the flexity wein is one of the best looking modern tramsets imo
