It would be hilarious if it was a real survival scenario with only AI and no outside contact or way to contact help…

And when they go to pick him up it’s like Vince Gilligan in American Dad:

But you know it’s going to be bullshit and he’ll have a full support crew and all types of safety, because it’s him and not contestants fighting for his crumbs

Thanks!

I’ve got a 4070 super now, but other than that I always had AMD. So just never really paid attention to it.

Definitely seems like the my first Nvidia GPU is gonna be my last tho

Genuinely asking:

Is this the first time DLSS hurts fps instead of improving it?

Like, I thought that was the entire point of it. It allowed you to turn up settings but still have useable frame rates.

I don’t know who would pay for a card to support this, just to turn around and cut the fps in half.

It seems like their target demo is people that pay for 5090s but for some reason still put on all the frame gen and scaling stuff to make their game look worse. This chops the frame in half, when they could just turn off frame gen and scaling and likely have better and steadier frames.

The game doesn’t release Sept 10th, it enters early access.

During early access the devs encourage people to refund if they don’t like it.

You just have to wait the same amount of time as you thought you would yesterday.

Calm the fuck down, and if you didn’t know any of that, you didn’t pre-order “with an idea” you did it with an assumption after not putting in any effort or you’d have known that.

Up until today I have never heard of it before. But now I’m seeing plenty of discussions around them, most regarding controversies.

The biggest way the far right recruits, is gaslighting useful idiots into “raising awareness”.

It’s actually how it made a comeback with 90s daytime TV. They were given a literal safe space to spout their shit 99% of people found reprehensible. But there was always a couple kids who were home sick or expelled. People who would fall for it, but we’re never exposed to it. Or poor out of work people, kind of the target demo.

Before that, they had to recruit in person where they’d get punched in the face for it.

The modern equivalent, is what OP is doing. And they most likely don’t even understand it and genuinely think they’re helping.

I did not know that, but I just signed up a little over a month ago.

But yeah, even if I run out of their backlog, I’m probably going to keep that active anyways

Super weird it’s basically College Humor legally, but they’re doing a really good job.

Jesus…

This is a couple years old but:

Shares of Netflix closed down more than 35% Wednesday after the streamer reported earnings Tuesday evening that showed it lost subscribers for the first time in more than 10 years.

https://www.cnbc.com/2022/04/20/netflix-plunges-trading-subscriber-loss.html

The product is the stock price.

Amount of subscribers effects stock price.

They raise price as a reaction to not meeting aubscriber goals.

Which is a short term fix that needs to be done over and over again.

Then you don’t understand why long term reliable customers are better than intermittent ones…

Which means you don’t know anything else about business, and are just going off vibes

If Streamers were smart, they’d lock pricing and change it for new signups.

Their problem is numbers retention. People would hesitate to cancel if their $8 plan would have to be 15/month or more to restart.

Moving everyone up, just pushes people to cancel, and they’ll be even more unlikely to come back if prices keep going up

and you get repeated posts from different sources about the same news and very little commentary.

Buddy…

You’re gonna fix that by making a bunch more bot posts?

Don’t you understand that will obviously just make more posts and further divide the comments?

Organically…

There was some dude who wanted to “promote sports” and he did that by making over 100 communities that all had individual mod bots who posted constantly

All that did was get everyone to block any sports posts because it blended in with spam.

Make a couple posts for big stuff, but if you don’t get engagement, the answer isn’t to increase quantity, it’s to increase quality.

Like, post a thread for an important match, but expect most comments to be made after the game. And your sport has 20 games a week, posting 40 threads one for each team just dilutes it.

Maybe do a weekly recap thread or just post highlight videos to draw people in.

Bot posting is just going to end up as spam if no one engages, and everytime someone blocks it early for spam, that’s a user that may have stuck around and contributed for years if it had a better start

Techbros didn’t even invent that shit.

That and “disruption” was just going into an existing market, flooding it quickly with cheap prices, and the second you squeeze out competition jack up rates.

It’s the same thing Walmart did.

With AI they offer it cheaper than humans because they’re burning investor cash and not making money. Once a company fires staff, their next AI contract switches to per token price instead of monthly unlimited.

And then suddenly realizing the “rockstars” that kept their job because they were AI experts, were just sitting at their laptop 8 hours straight constantly prompting over and over again. After that they’re paying more than they were before AI with a shittier product and completely unpredictable workflow completely reliant on AI usage.

Hopefully we’re reaching the point even c-suite execs figure it out. Once they do it’ll pop.

Reportedly, the app uses an on-device machine learning model to classify the content.

Using your shiny new phone to train AI…

For now its only supposed to check Google Messages, so not if you use a different text app.

But one vulnerability already is side loaded versions with super high version numbers so they won’t be auto updated. Those will scan everything and do whatever with it. Considering the apps point is to scan for nudes, likely sending all your nudes to the hacker.

One thing that works just as well is paying bills.

Like, always use auto pay, but when you want to spend, go pay a bill early. This is especially useful if you’re using a credit card for points. Whenever you feel consumerery, whip out the app, and pay the bill to zero. You get the same dopamine hit as a purchase making the payment, but then you get a bigger one seeing it (will) go to zero.

If you ever go to look and it’s zero, instead of the dopamine from paying, you get one from seeing $0.00 on your credit card bill.

Or just video games like animal crossing, I’ve always been convinced people just like existing in an economy that might not be “fair” but at least has a path towards eventually success. Even if you’re shit at it (to my understanding) you just accumulate resources slower, but eventually you get there.

and have permissive licenses

…

That’s the difference you don’t see.

There’s not one license, there’s multiple. Which is a good system, but doesn’t mean there’s no EULA, it means there’s multiple.

Arch Linux has no EULA because it is not sold software like Ubuntu Pro.

Right, your link is about use of online services…

The following Terms of Service contain the rules for the use of the internet Platform Arch Linux, operated by the Arch Linux Team, accessible under the domain archlinux.org and various related subdomains (the “Platform”) and the respective Services, namely provision of the Arch Linux package platform, the forums, the wiki, the bug reporting tool and a reporting tool for security issues, Arch User Repository (AUR), Mailing Lists, IRC Channels, collaboration pads and the Bulletin Board System (the “Services”) of Arch Linux (“Arch Linux”, “we”) by you as a user (the “User”, “you”).

There’s no EULA, but after reading up on it, isn’t it even considered software?

Like, it seems to really just be a command line, that straps together a bunch of individual packages, which add up to a very very lightweight OS, and then even more can be added on.

Seems really cool, and I like the idea. But my understanding is the packages themselves have EULA’s on their own and function pretty autonomously.

I think thats going to the closest anyone gets tho, thanks for linking it.

By all means, find me a single example of software you actually own…

Because that’s waaaaaaaaay fucking easier than me listing every open source eula one by one

The logic was:

If I took home a $200 box of software in 1995, installed it, and then drove back to Circuit City in the morning and returned it, there was no way for anyone to tell.

Like, across all aspects of American media, profits skyrocketed with CDs because consumers couldn’t easily copy them. With cassettes and floppy discs, piracy was just accepted. And when they got to start over with CDs/DVDs they wanted to do everything possible to break the piracy habit in the window they could.

American Neoliberalism kicked off with Clinton in 1992, which is when all this was happening and corporate profits were prioritized over all else in the pursuit of campaign donations.

Like, this shit didn’t happen accidentally, we didn’t just stumble into it.

There’s reasons for why our shit is so fucked and it’s not in the EU.

abuse the fact that software is licensed to rip that license away from customers

A lot of it is widely outside of PlayStation or Valves hands…

The puclishers have the same deal with them, and developers have the same deal with the publishers.

If that wasn’t there at every link of the chain, then that next person no longer has to pay anyone earlier in the chain.

We kind of see the same with in-game music. That has to be licensed from the owner of the master, and possibly a couple more people. They don’t like doing licences in perpetuity out of principle. If the Beatles let a game use a song and that game eventually sells for 10¢ or free, then that’s a loss sale even 30 years from now in the way licensing works. So after 5-10 years, songs disappear.

Or like how it took Kevin Smith forever to get actual ownership of the movie Dogma due to Weinstein being involved and everyone else just wanting to bury what he’d touched.

EULA’s and ownership is a lot deeper than software. Like, you can sell a used game of monopoly, but buying a copy doesn’t mean you can make you’re own and sell, the physical material is just associated with the license for the intellectual property.

Like ship of thesus shit, if you start with a legit paid game of Monopoly, replace every single piece over 20 years, you can still sell it as a “used Monopoly game” because at some point you bought the license. If you made every piece the same way and then sold it, that’s not legal
