Looking at you Christopher Nolan

You plebs use Gold I only use Diamond Coated Connectors. For CRYSTAL Clear Sound and fidelity.

As someone with probably already a bit of hearing damage and who is generally not an Audiophile. I remember when i switched from Wired Headphones to Wireless and man I cannot hear the difference. Which I assume many people don't either. For me it is no difference in hearing pleasure and much more comfort.

> The only reason OpenAI and Anthropic are making a loss is due to training new models to keep up with competition - not because the industry is flawed in terms of business model.

So in other words they are not profitable? Like you cant say they are profitable and then in the next sentence say they make a loss. That is not how profit works.

I mean yeah

100% oversight commitees should be regularly conveening over their actions. And these Oversight Comitees should not be Politicians but random people.
mastermage··on No Man's Sky Cosmos
I belive no Mans Sky is a great game but I could realy never get through to the newer stuff because the base resource gathering gathering does not grip me. The lasering of resources is just not satisfying to me. I love resource gathering but it needs to be satisfying like mining ores in minecraft (or Hytyale).

Additionaly I do not like flying Fighters I enjoy larger Ships. Put it as me enjoying space combat like Star Trek more than Star Wars.

If a Star Trek game similar to NMS came out, that would be my JAM imagine flying a smaller explorer vessel beaming down on procedural worlds and interacting with flora and fauna there. That would be up my jam.

But I still have to stress what Hello Games did is probably the best Redemption Story in Gaming. And they deserve all the good for it. Also please finall get me light no fire.

mastermage··on No Man's Sky Cosmos
Weird take cause the game is definetely there and it has tons of content. Admitedly it is not for me because I just do not like the way resource gathering works. Does not tickle my fancy. But saying there is nothing substantial is an odd take, there is base building, space battles (fighter and corvette), expeditions. You can even do a little automatisation if you are into it.

Which is a great argument for Less Surveilance and Overreach.
mastermage··on Icy Moons Are Ocean Worlds
I am realy excited for the Findings on these missions. Altough I am still missing an Enceladus mission because enceladus is among the most fascinating ocean worlds.

The last 50 years is a wild take considering thats the time in with the computers became a bigger thing, mobile phones, smart phones. CRISPR, mRNA Vaccincs, HIV Antivirals, HPV Vaccines, We friggin confirmed the Higgs Boson and Gravity Waves. Found thousands of other worlds outside the solar system. Lithium Ion Batteries, the modern solar panel making solar power the cheapest energy source in most of the world. Blue LEDs making RGB LEDs a thing. Reusable Orbital Rockets.

Where in the fuck did we stall out?

I realy wished we had a way to have Companies make Legally enforcable claims.
mastermage··on SteamdDB Joins Nexus Mods
Honestly why couldn't steam itself operate this? It seems like a great additional resource to steam

100% we do not need one company that makes everything hi there Samsung.
mastermage··on AnkiDroid: Google Play no longer allowing Open Collective donation link
Honestly still one of the main reasons why I am actualy considering switching to iPhone. Atleast with Apple I know what to expect. And as a bonus I get amazing vertical integration and probably the best aftermarket there is.

Exactly this if I would not track it in my Calendar I would forget the birthday of my grandparents who I love dearly. It just cannot compute in the web of information that is in my brain. I need a crutch for it.

mastermage··on Hacking IKEA Furniture
There has been quite some changes on the construction of IKEA furniture within the last 30 years. There was an interesting video that I cant remember the name anymore about this.
mastermage··on Hacking IKEA Furniture
Ok so i have varied opinion on this. IKEA is great for getting some stuff quickly and you know what to expect.

The big problem I have with Ikea is it creates a sort of disposable Furniture Industry because quite often people will throw their Ikea Stuff away after the first or second moving. Or not even take it with them. Because it is so easy to get and so cheap.

mastermage··on Hacking IKEA Furniture
What do you think Phone Cases are for? People love phone cases because it gives their devices a bit uniqueness. AirPods also have cases. Other than that for Obvious Reasons Phones all look similar. The shape of your phone is not self expression. However i would hazard a guess if you look into the phone on the home screen you will not find two alike.
mastermage··on The End of Programming
I think he is saying this in reference to this: "If you can reduce a problem to a clearly verifiable end state, provide the necessary context [...]"

Which for reference i am not an engineer but a Physicist is literally one of the things we make jokes about for engineers. Not that we are much better in that regard as a verfiable end state in Physics is like realy realy dificult to get so is the necessary context.

I do see this as good... for my personal future career. Currently AI has caused a massive hiring stop in Consulting which is the area I want to go into. However the more terrible AI decisions there are in the future the more need for a human that can scrutinize those decision there is again. Aka Consulting will boom in a few years. (Is my hope)
mastermage··on The Mojo language (by Modular, now Qualcomm) is now open-source
nearly as bad as closed source compilers. Looking at you ADA (one of the imho nicest designed languages) suffering from an awfull network of closed source compilers.
mastermage··on Mojo is now open source
it definetely existed and was one of the major things why I was interested in it. I wished I could have used this to slowly migrate away from Python codes in Physics.

But alas they dropped the goal and for me the ball with the decision to stop following this. I will probably not write mojo code when I could use Rust or Julia instead, which are more aligned with my necessities.

mastermage··on OpenLogi
Dumb question but its because I genuinely do not know better. What is the security risk of what is as far as i understand a mouse driver with config options?
mastermage··on A Preview of DuckDB v2.0
i love woops
mastermage··on A Preview of DuckDB v2.0
I love DuckDB genuinely more than sqlite even though they do completely different things but DuckDB has like for me the perfect mix between simplicity, embedded capabilities and expressiveness. (and actual Time and Date Types).
