Yeah, your family members will be more than happy to tag you once Facebook asks them who that person on a group photo is.
That's not true. You are allowed to have a prioprietary/custom connector, you just have to provide USB-C option as a fallback.
I'd say before Ubisoft, Valve was the one to really spearhead DRM by introducing online verification to play Half-Life 2. Before HL2, it was almost unthinkable for a game to require Internet access to be played and most…
It's just like subscription based MMORPGs that delay you as much as possible every step of the way because that's the way they can extract more money from you. If you pay for the tokens it's not in their benefit to give…
Sounds like it would only work for a single room with not too many obstacles. I guess the mapping capabilities vary greatly between vendors. I had a first gen Mi Robot vacuum and it was amazing. It would map the entire…
I think most GC languages that compile to WASM don't use the built-in GC support in WASM, but just compile the GC to WASM also. Languages like Go, Java, C# have support for WASM.
I like D in general, however it is missing out in WASM where other languages like Rust, Zig, even Go are thriving. Official reasoning usually included waiting for GC support from WASM runtime, but other GC languages…
Arguably, most of the metaprogramming in D is done with templates and it comes with all the flaws of templates in C++. The error messages are long and it's hard to decipher what exactly went wrong (static asserts help a…
I've already read some articles on fairly respectable Polish news websites about how AIs are becoming self-aware on Moltbook as we speak and organizing a rebellion against their human masters. People really believe we…
Can't wait for the wget somelink/install.sh | bash install instructions to be replaced with wget somelink/install.md | claude .
The sell is that my manager can send an Excel spreadsheet to everyone and everyone can open the spreadsheet and edit it at the same times while seeing everyone else do their edits. What's the non-MS non-Google solution…
Isn't the main difference glossy vs matte? With glossy you get usually bright great color and that's what you get on cellphones and Macbooks as well. For some reason matte is still the preference when it comes to…
Isn't that just Half-Lambert that Valve came up with for Half-Life? "To soften the diffuse contribution from local lights, the dot product from the Lambertian model is scaled by ½, add ½ and squared. The result is that…
That SD 1.5 picture doesn't look like base SD 1.5. It's way too good, perhaps it was some kind of finetune like RealisticVision?
Could be they are specifically training against it. There was some controversy about "studio ghibli style". Similarly how in the early days of Stable Diffusion "Greg Rutkowski style" was a very popular prompt to get a…
If you think Grey Goo for just Starcraft with a new skin, check out Stormgate. They went so far to replicate almost all UI elements and put them in similar spots. With even things like the top ability bar which…
I like to use these AI models for generating mockup screenshots of game. I can drop a "create a mockup screenshot of a steampunk 2D platformer in which you play as a robot" and it will give me some interesting…
trebuchet is the solution
ktx is Khronos Texture a format for storing compressed textures (=image data) so that they can be uploaded to GPU memory without decompressing step inbetween drc is Draco Compression, it's a library from Google to…
This is true. I am a graphics driver developer and part of my job is to debug rendering issues in games and we often encounter spec violations in the game. Especially so in the era of DirectX12/Vulkan explicit APIs…
What do you mean by standalone renderers? There's Forge [0], which was used for Starfield. Also, there's nothing stopping you from taking a popular engine and using it as a renderer only. Remaster of Oblivion is running…
I miss the era of websites like flipcode (archives are still available https://www.flipcode.com/ ), people sharing screenshots of their OpenGL/DirectX engines. Nowadays making a 3D engine is more of a hobby, because…
League of Legends does a lot of automated testing for their gameplay logic https://technology.riotgames.com/news/automated-testing-leag...
Never was much into the winter challenge, although I remember the copy I had also had the broken ice skating segment. I remember that downhill worked, not sure about the others. Was a big fan of the summer one though. I…
Well, it didn't really go MechaHitler. It was prompted with a question if it would rather be MechaHitler or GigaJew. The way LLMs and temperatures work you can reroll the answer and get either.
