I do own my GOG and itch.io games though. Which is why I buy my games there, and/or in physical editions.

I am about as anti-piracy as it gets, but I'll make an exception for Ubisoft as a treat

Can't believe they printed the names in plaintext, smh

Let me guess, you're making it even more crap than it already is

It's like when you get the "we're updating our privacy policy" email

How is there no picture of the drone in action in the article?!

Amazon has gone from being good to mostly worse than useless except as joke/meme material. Not for everything, though. Still pretty good for books - prob some other things too.

Yeah that seems most likely. The targets will have been chosen for being likely to attract the attention of the relevant communities.

Good! They should be in serious danger of losing US support!

What don't you understand? The captain likes that he has a parachute and doesn't give a flying fuck about you now that he no longer needs your money. This is just another expression of the enduring essence of Silicon Valley; it would be shocking to see something different.

I'm sure you can convince some people once "CSS programmer" starts generating hits on job site searches.

I absolutely don't want to play it all the way through but that is irrelevant, love it

It is easy for ugly people to be chaste, if you know what I mean

Ok but what are you saying? After understanding the math, are you suggesting that people need to use that understanding to interface with the graphics hardware at a level below Vulkan?

The details are outdated now, I guess, but I don't know if there's any more inspiring reading for an aspiring graphics programmer than Fabian Giesen's "A trip through the graphics pipeline" https://fgiesen.wordpress.com/2011/07/09/a-trip-through-the-...

As for a place to actually start, I think Computer Graphics From Scratch is a good place https://www.gabrielgambetta.com/computer-graphics-from-scrat.... A great thing about the book is it gives you many ideas for where to go next once you work your way through to the end.

A federal government agency implementing and using facial recognition technology can't possibly be any more dangerous than I think

It is ludicrous to describe what happened as a coup. Your boss firing you is not a coup. The rejoinders to this are nonsense and you know it. Stop lying.

There's no way anyone should continue to use OpenAI products if Sam Altman is allowed to return. Because in that scenario there won't even be a counterweight to his point of view in the company anymore, and that counterweight was the only thing keeping his extreme untrustworthiness and sliminess from being a deal-breaker.

Surely it will, but prob only Elon and a couple others will know about it

Seems like a solid B, yes?

No, Sutskever and colleagues did it. Sam sold it. Which is a lot, but is not doing it.

it's so pretentious

Honestly it could be something as simple and sordid as a credible sexual assault allegation that he lied to the board about, or just some plain old fashioned embezzlement.

Human cloning

You can't be serious. You think that Microsoft themselves saying they didn't know DISPROVES that it was a covert power grab by them? Have you heard of "lying"?

I'm not saying I think it WAS that, but come on.

Cos they already know it and it's good enough to accomplish their goals. Nobody gives a dying duck about your new/better thing unless it makes their miserlable office slave life slightly more bearable not in the long term, not in the medium term, not even in the short term. In the IMMEDIATE term.

FOMO is real

Finally my dream of a physical screensaver is realized

Heeeey! There's hope for some of you yet

There's definitely a middle ground, it's just not very close to where product imagines it is

They don't seem to have tried the one thing that might have worked for them, namely, embracing the fact that they're first and foremost a porn site. Instead, they decided to be actively hostile to this reality, with predictable results.
