This is a national disgrace.
No. It is a national success. This is absolutely what they were aiming for, and they got it. Congrats to all the hardworking people who made this happen. Human psychology is so simple to deceive and manipulate.
There are ideas and concepts that you will only find in fiction until someone finds a way to make them real. If you do not read fiction, you will never be one of those people that turn fiction into reality. All interesting concepts have come from fiction, such as space travel, telescopes, Democracy, etc.
The democrats don't have to be perfect. In order to avoid the "both sides" argument, it's enough to show the MAGA republicans are fascists and therefore significantly worse. There's no denying this.
When the choice is dying in a gas chamber and dying from slavery and lack of resources, I really do not know which to choose. Can you help a brother out here and let me know which option is the most desirable because both sides are beholden to monetary interests that want to ensure that I have nothing and they have everything. So the only real thing to vote for is how to die. Nice choices there.
You started off poorly but ended excellently. No. You can NOT trust your eyes to tell you what is real. Lighting and shading tricks work against you constantly. What you thought you saw, you didn't actually see. Even your eyes lie to you. Do you see your nose constantly? Didn't think so... and yet, now that you know to look for it, you will see it... until you forget about it again.
If alcohol had a material impact on life span, you'd expect Muslim communities to have a longer life span. Which they don't.
LOL, do I have some news for you after living amongst Muslims for many years: They drink. And smoke. Very few are "true believers". Same as any other religion I suppose. Of course, they hide their drinking and smoking so others can not witness it, but when you walk into a police captain's house to visit the most well stocked liquor store in the country... you kind of become jaded.
Why does it seem like the goal is just to destroy?
The actual goal is to take as much as you can AND ensure nobody else has anything. To everyone else but the person doing it, it looks like pure destruction.
They quit producing consumer ram to meet the demands for AI.
"We will give up this billion dollar activity to pursue this multibillion dollar activity" sounds kind of reasonable if there is only one manufacturing facility and it is not possible to build more. Who gives up a billion dollars in revenue? Why isn't anyone else clamoring to build something that is highly desirable and already has a market?
No. Something is incredibly broken here. Nobody throws away money.
ENOUGH of selling any other solution. There isnâ(TM)t one. Permanently unemployable. Solve for it, or we perish.
It *is* being solved. There are fewer children being born because there are no economic opportunities for them. See how easy that was? The real problem is what to do with the people already born. The last time this came up, camps with gas chambers and ovens were proffered. It seems the political appetite for that has come back... so, win-win? Problem solved anyways...
You don't find it fucking odd as hell that modern systems are performing worse than ancient systems? It is almost like nothing was ever learned and that knowledge should never be passed on or learned.
It is like starting at day 0 for EVERY fucking project. Just insanity.
Life is not definable in terms of mass and electromagnetic fields... and yet, that is what physics is currently. In other words, there is more to the Universe than mass and electromagnetic fields... so how does one find that 'more'? We have evidence that our Universe is far more interesting than the two axes of mass/electromagnetism and space/time.
There is more to the Universe than mass and electromagnetic fields. "What is life" is a basic question that can lead you towards something other than mass and electromagnetic fields. In short, it sounds like physicists may be trying to find things that they can not see with any microscope or sensor that currently exists.
It's almost as if they were actively trying to screw it up.
Well, when you go from a meritocracy to kakistocracy, this is the result. They are not trying to screw it up, they are just genuinely incapable.
You constantly live in fear of other Americans with guns.
That is news to me. I have no more fear of being shot than stabbed or punched or hit with a baseball bat. I live in America and violence does occur; however, removing guns wouldn't make me any safer. The violence will occur with or without guns... and with guns, I at least have a fighting chance against it since I am not at the physical peak of healthful domination anymore. The police will take a report after I am dead, a gun lets me decide if I am going to be the victim or not.
Ironically, I do not carry a gun on me. How crazy is THAT?
Turn off the RT and the performance would be more than fine. Ultra settings often deliver very little uplift over high as is, but ray tracing is so little of an upgrade for the performance cost
I am so relieved that someone is protecting me from my poor tastes. I do not know what I would do if I paid to see actual reflections in puddles of water in Cybperpunk 2077. You have saved me money. Thank you.
We should create a Slashdot group where we tell people what their tastes should be so they do not waste any money on anything worthless like "Night Watch" by Rembrandt. That thing costs millions of dollars... and yet someone somewhere will be stupid enough to buy it once it is on sale again. Whatever will we do if people keep buying things that please them without someone from Slashdot berating them for their stupidity and waste of money.
The receptors in your eyes are slow ass chemical ones, that can detect, under optimal conditions 13ms pulses. That is around 75Hz. Anything faster and you will not see it.
20+ years ago, I bought a vacuum tube monitor that could adjust the refresh rate from 60hz to 144 hz. I was able to see the difference in refresh from 60hz to 120hz. I could tell you if the monitor were running at 80hz, 100 hz, 60 hz, abd be EXACTLY correct every time. I would usually guess correctly between 120hz and 144 hz, but my ability to ascertain was not as solid as between 60hz and 120hz.
Long story short, do all the math and logic that you want but my brain notices a difference where your math and logic says it shouldn't. Now, I am a lover of math and logic, but experience has taught me that in theory, theory and reality match, in reality, they do not. Theory and logic ALWAYS lose out to reality.
But, this makes me wonder. Why do you appear to be resisting this change? Just because it doesn't suit you? Do higher refresh rates and resolutions hurt you in some way? Or are you just being a curmudgeonly old bastard?
I do not object if you buy low res and low frequency monitors. I do not object that they are available. Why do you object at high res and high freq?
Keep up the good work! But please don't ask me to help.
