I mean, Facebook is chatbot hell, with millions pulled in.

If that isn’t the matrix, I dunno what is.

My theory is Instagram and “insta-type-influencers” stole that market. It’s glamour fantasy, distilled. Less attention required, no complicated movie stuff in the way. And it gets a lot of eyeballs.

Glamour movie celebs are relics coasting on inertia, hence the constant stories of a $10 million paycheck for one movie being, uh, unsustainable.

Hence, I’m hoping Hollywood has a “medium sized” indie renaissance kinda like gaming is having now. Animation and filming is still pretty expensive, but it feels like tech has to be eroding the mega studio cost advantage.

F me. This hit really hard.

I think this line hit harder than any:

More likely than not, the current MAGA base would laugh and revel in photos of trans people having their heads shaved, having involuntary surgeries performed upon them, being correctively raped, and being forced to do manual labor…

…They would. This is not an exaggeration or “I hate MAGA” litmus test, millions would legit cheer this on from their little screens, like it’s the solution to the country’s problems, and social media platforms would egg them on and tailor posts to fit the individual. Hitler’s propaganda apparatus has nothing on us.

F me.

Yeah I don’t see a way out of this either. Collapsing corporate social media would help more than the author realizes, I think, but still.

F me…

Does no one see the propaganda potential for this? Yeah, let’s give one guy more intimate, influential control over the psyche of hundreds of millions.

Well it would be great if Steam (allegedly) didn’t pressure devs to force price parity with their store. In other words, selling at game at 30% less than Steam on some other storefront could (allegedly) get one delisted. It’s blatantly anticompetitive/anticonsumer and should be illegal.

It would be like Amazon threatening to pull a brand from their store if it was cheaper somewhere else.

Prefer Steam? Totally fine. But personally I would take a 30% discount for the extra hassle, barring some game-specific benefit.

Yeah I mean it really depends on the app.

If it just occasionally peaks, maybe modest zram and low swappiness is all you need.

But sometimes i crack it up (and basically disable zram) because I’m paging like 4x my RAM pool size onto ssds with big files.

Oof you are right. They used to carry AMD versions (other than the pricey/small Z13), somehow I thought they still did.

Honestly this is kinda a terrible time to buy AMD gaming laptops unless you get an older one, as the 7000 series was pretty limited (with the higher end ones being MCM designs laptop makers don’t want), and I can’t even find any 9000 series in laptops. There might be more in a few months, assuming tarrifs don’t obliterate that…

If you are in the US, I’m very happy with the ROG G-series. The cooling is overengineered, they have a good community built around them (see https://gitlab.com/asus-linux/asusctl), and now they’re even offering some Strix Halo stuff, which is really awesome.

Framework is great, but I wouldn’t buy one for heavy dGPU use since the cooling is… not the best. At least not until they offer Strix Halo laptops too.

Platforms might just IP block Texas from whatever is legally defined as “social media.” This includes Apple and Google.

Otherwise, the ID will be a sign up hindrance.

Either way, it creates a barrier to entry. Users tend to take the easiest path, so this will drive away traffic and break some habits.

“I firmly believe that social media is the most harmful product that our kids have legal access to in Texas,” said Rep. Jared Patterson, R-Frisco, the bill’s author.

Agreed. I even disagree with the opposition’s take:

“What about the concern that this is helping these social media companies collect even more data on us,” State Rep. Erin Zwiener, D-Driftwood, asked Patterson.

Oh, they already know. But this takes away the corporate plausible deniability of “we didn’t know they were kids!” when, mostly, they do.

Enforcement of this will be a nightmare, kids will hate it with a burning passion, but I will take the regulation we can get. At this point, I am all for this scorched Earth approach.

Would have died, at best, on the president’s desk anyway.

Rust isn’t super fast to code for novices though, hence the OP post, where their sibling wasn’t very productive in the language to the point where porting the entire project was apparently worth it.

…Maybe this is a bonkers suggestion, but I wonder if they could hack in GraalVM and the AOT-compilable subsets of Java, Python and I think Lua it supports? Now that would be ease of use.

I think there are others projects for AOT compiled subsets of popular scripting languages too.

BevyScript

Or some existing language?

Joe Rogan is mega rich, right? So no.

I “cheaped out” with 32 and regretted it, working with huge files in RAM.

The remake?

The response I have seen now is “but national debt”

…Has anyone looked at the budget?

Try it here instead, set the temperature to like 0.1 or 0.2, and be sure to set 2.5 Pro:

It is indeed still awful for many things. It’s a text prediction tool, not a magic box, even though everyone advertises it kinda like the later.
