From my limited understanding, the PS3’s architecture is actually very different from PCs and modern consoles. From a developer’s perspective, it was very different to make games for it, its capabilities and strengths and weaknesses were just different. So it’s no surprise that its games have a certain look and feel to them.

The PS4 and later, OTOH, is a more standard PC architecture which means iterative improvements and less difference between generations.

Disclaimer: didn’t fact-check any of this, would appreciate replies correcting mistakes

no way, you’re lying

What are you talking about? The photo quality is great. It’s not studio quality, but calling it potato quality would make the actually bad photos… what’s worse than potato? Hamster wheel quality?

Calling this photo “potato quality” is the same as calling the 360 and the PS3 “retro consoles”.

I think you misread a word there

All I see is a bed with an extra pillow.

:(

Okay, it’s a bit of a grey zone. Your clothes are definitely part of your look but they are also choices.

That might work. You should at least phrase it more positively: “You’re very brave.” Your version is more of a neutral observation IMHO.

You handle that gun like a professional. I like your red shirt. I like your brown pants. I like your white shoes. You seem like a very take charge person.

That was after putting 5 seconds of thought into it.

3/5 of those were about her looks. The other two, yeah, I thought of that option just before posting but figured I’d let someone else say it. Just hoped they’d be less condescending about it.

But like, it seems like she’s a complete stranger to them, how are they supposed to compliment her on anything other than her looks? This comic is trying to make some sort of point but it’s not making that point.

You have a very pretty… pistol.

Yes, this isn’t new but it’s resurfacing thanks to the Steam Machine. Basically (off my memory), part of your title is accurate: AMD did create a FOSS driver with HDMI 2.1 which does not violate HDMI forum requirements, but the HDMI forum still vetoed it. I don’t know if it would necessarily “disclose the specification” as the first part of your title suggests, but I didn’t dig into the details enough to say for certain.

Basically a dick move by HDMI. Maybe Valve can push their weight on this, we’ll see.

That’d be suicide.

Are there a lot of 65" PC monitors?

I see, that was a good video. But the video everyone else is thinking of is the legendary SM64 - Watch for Rolling Rocks - 0.5x A Presses (Commentated)

Relevant quote: https://youtu.be/kpk2tdsPh0A?t=630 “We need to talk about parallel universes”

Does it involve half an A-press?

Thank you for those links. I hadn’t heard of this before and it was a hell of a ride.

For everyone else, the TL;DL of the podcast (which you should listen to!) is that Naomi is good now, she works in the aerospace industry (“commercial jet engine stuff”), and she still cusses a fuckton. She did not get back her NASA internship after that incident. I don’t think she mentioned in the interview exactly how she got back in the industry, all she said is: “I took such a roundabout way to get back into it”, and then the conversation was sidetracked by BOEING KILLED A GUY!

Tell that to people 150 years ago.

You’re being sarcastic but surely you know that really is the presumed eventuality for a lot of people who have fallen for the hype. “AI will become smarter than humans and so will be able to create better AI.” So if you believe that, we’re currently still bootstrapping the AI, but it will eventually be able to create the next iteration of AI without needing us.

I don’t believe that of course.

Now, hold on a minute. I get what you’re doing and I like it, but I don’t think those first 2 examples work.

Visual programming is programming. Were they really ever touted as not requiring programmers? I would think it’s just marketed as more intuitive and easier to use for certain applications, but users are still referred to as programmers. Let me know if I’m wrong. Side note: my first programming language was LabVIEW, a visual programming language, which I used in high school to program our robot for FRC. It is, for all intents and purposes, a fully-fledged programming language and requires a programmer to create code for it.

MDA, honestly I don’t know much about it, but from the description in the image it sounds like it still requires someone to “write a universal model”… did they try to claim that that someone would not be a programmer?
