“We can’t stop killing children in the short term, so we are not gonnna do anything to stop the kid killing machine. To stop the kid killing machine would be a pipe dream. Instead, we have this automated machine that kills children, slower.”
That is a wild take, but the orphan crushing machine must keep churning, I suppose.
It’s not worth to go looking for it. It’s a mediocre film at best.
I can get you one better. There won’t be car accidents if there aren’t any cars. Car free cities, or walkable cities are preferable. We don’t need safer drivers, we need more public transport.
Apology for hitting kids is wild. An expansion of services will only raise frequency of accidents. Waymo only works in pristine infrastructure conditions. As it moves away from these conditions, accidents will rise. Then we will understand if these technology is actually better than human drivers.
Yeah, I don’t think you understand Calibre at all, because you are somehow annoyed by it. I get it. But there’s no e-reader on the market that supports Calibre. Quite the contrary, there’s a titanic effort from the Calibre team (it’s been several people since 2009) to reverse engineer support with every single e-reader and tablet in the market that should not be minimized. You’re also painting a picture as if somehow Calibre is the Windows of e-book and everyone hates it but is forced to use it, when in reality that is not at all the case. Yes, it has quirks and people have constructive criticisms, but calling a guy’s name “rough” is not positive criticism. Overall, most people appreciate and like Calibre for what it has achieved and enabled for readers all around the world.
Again, it’s fine if you don’t like it, don’t understand it, and don’t want to understand it. But that doesn’t excuse insulting a person who actively is making your petty life a bit easier and free from corporate control. It takes a very weird person to feel like commenting negatively on someone’s name is somehow appropriate, it’s bully attitude. If that is all the criticism you can bring to a discussion of software, save it for yourself and stop replying. You’re all over this thread complaining, completely unprovoked like a little wuss. No one is forcing you to use Calibre, it just so happen that no one has done anything better, as you yourself admitted in another comment.
Good, so if you know what needs to be fixed it should be easy for you to make a new alternative, with modern web UX, self-hosting in mind and NO quirks whatsoever.
Really, it’s so easy to insult those who are making solutions when you have never contributed at all. There’s constructive criticisms, but calling people who are fronting free labor for your benefit as nerd aliens is not it.
the devs thought it was ok to put it into their game
That’s the point. They didn’t thought it was OK and didn’t.
They could have just used stock textures as placeholders like developers have been doing for decades.
That is exactly what they did, any texture left in the first version of the game was a mistake that was promptly fixed as soon as they noticed it. We have the advantage of judging four years later with new info something they did back then and have since corrected. Ethical considerations must include intent and context, and here there was definitely no intent to harm.
Calibre is so old that it’s use case and architecture precedes the current popularity of self-hosting. It is as old as the premiere of the very first e-ink reader in 2006. It’s not obtuse or weird, it was just the way things were done 20 years ago. The problem is that adapting it to work as a self hosted app or even multi user sync requires rewritting all of its backend from scratch with fundamentally different principles and use cases in mind. And guess what? Everyone is way too lazy to face that massive undertaking. Thus the hobbled together solutions.
Fortunately, one way backup to a NAS works perfectly fine to keep libraries secure. It’s not this way out of caprice, and the Dev is definitely not an nerd alien.
There have been attempts to create modernized replacements for calibre. But they all fall through because, Calibre already does 99% of what they want to achieve. That one percent is covered by addons and shoddy workarounds? Yes. But that’s an effort to reward analysis any Dev is faced with. Calibre does much more than what the average user need, and they keep adding features. Because they’re not catering to one particular user but a community of a complex mix of users. Developing software is hard, rebuilding 20 years of features is daunting.
They didn’t sneak anything and they never will. Looked into it deeply. They used AI assets as placeholders during development. But everything in the shipped game is human-made. No further use of generative AI is expected, since the game awards controversy the company’s management published a statement of banning AI use entirely in their company.
The whole controversy around indie game awards was also blown beyond proportions. A company used a new technology at a time when the tech was new and the debate around it’s use was still inmature. Then dismissed it for it was not good enough. They failed at quality assurance and a couple of textures weren’t deleted. They replaced them as soon at they found out. By all intents and purposes, this controversy does not qualify sandfall as an AI using company, and to affirm so is ignorant of the context of all that went down in reality.
It’s OK, these stages are not supposed to be sequential. They can go through them in any order, and even cyclically return to other stages. Even full acceptance can be relapsed from time to time.
150 million, what?
Individual users, prompts, prompts per second, accounts, installs, subscriptions bought?
Numbers on their own have no meaning. This is still rubbish trying to cosplay as information. Active copilot users means nothing until explained how the number is calculated.
The NES and Atari are separated by mere 6 years. The NES and Xbox 360 are separated by nearly 22 years. That’s how much the perception of graphical advancement has decelerated. Sure we keep making leaps on graphical fidelity, but ever more in areas that are less and less noticeable every time.
Truenas apps are mere docker containers configured by someone else in the community.
If you turn them into a customized app, you gain all the docker options control and can change the image. It’s all up to the app maintainer to switch to the correct image, or yourself to do it manually.
It is an issue that lasted a week at most. It actually was such a non issue that it wasn’t even picked up as a bug report. Dude just had the absolute worst timing in the world. If he had waited a couple days or updated the systems again then, he wouldn’t have even noticed.
This is the worst case escenario being amplified and showcase as the typical OOB experience. There’s a reason benchmarks are such a niche in content creation, specially when the audience knows way more than the creator about the subject matter. When people like nexus exist, it is a risky business.
I get that he was going for his typical silly and goofy vibe, but he missed the mark. Shouldn’t have tried to showcase this results at all. It’s like saying to showcase the out of the box experience of a new car and getting hung up that the car ran out of fuel on the highway. Like, fueling is the bare minimum a car requires out of the dealership. Drivers check and install is the bare minimum every gaming computer requires on a fresh install. Not even windows can do gaming without installing proprietary drivers first. It is disingenuous. I love this bloke but he should stick to pouring extraneous liquids into oil pans in cars, he completely misread the benchmark audience.
This was said only about the Linux side. Apparently he did install the drivers manually on Windows, but not on Linux. (Windows doesn’t come with drivers for the 1080ti either and they have to be manually installed, e.g.) So it isn’t comparing oobe. One system was tinkered with and the other wasn’t.
Also, there’s a hypothesis that he downloaded bazzite images during a very brief period when they weren’t included in the legacy image yet. The drivers went out of support in December and there was a window of adjustment in the packaging. If he were to do it all again today, the results would be radically different. This was an exercise in futility and an utter waste of time.
You’re defending a guy that used nutella as engine oil for lulz. This is not serious at all.
Not really, went to the video comment section itself. And it seems like he took the time to install drivers on Windows. But did not do so on Linux. For half of the computers the GPU wasn’t even on. The whole thing is an exercise in futility and an utter waste of time. It does not compare out of the box experiences at all. It is disingenuous and poorly made. It is fun when he is burning headphones for entertainment, but these are as serious benchmarks as his fuel economy and car performance test. It is just an idiot spouting hot air. It means nothing.
It’s not a bug. If you install an NVIDIA dedicated bazzite image, this doesn’t happen. I suspect he just booted a hard drive with a fresh install of the wrong bazzite image without the NVIDIA drivers. User error a million percent, since bazzite doesn’t even let you download the installer until you tell the website exactly where are you installing it.
Did he actually install a (correct) bazzite image to each machine or did he just swap hard drives? Because that matters.
There’s half a dozen different versions of bazzite and bazzite installers. Each for different use cases. All that allows automated driver installs, but how you got there makes a difference. Swapping a hard drive to a new machine might make the NVIDIA drivers just not be there (because it was installed using an image for AMD GPUs). It will boot and the OS will work, but it will not use the graphics card appropriately.
There’s three types of NVIDIA failures on Linux:
A- The niche thing that doesn’t work for the group of people who use it.
B- The specific card model that doesn’t work.
C- The distro that for some reason is a nightmare to install the drivers.
Each motive individually is not a lot of people, but all together it is way much more than AMD. Hence the difference.
Also, if you have a type A failure card, there’s a probability that maybe it will be fixed eventually. But for type B, you’re out of luck. There’s a non-zero chance that your card will never work.
Type C is entirely up to user error and distro effort. But it won’t help with type A and B. If NVIDIA of fails you, whether you can install the drivers on your distro or not, is irrelevant.
Traffic segregation, car free zones, public transport, lower speed limits, car size based taxing, stricter driver license conditions, three strike limitations, temporal license suspensions schemes, these are all measurements that would reduce car accidents just as much, and could be implemented within the next week anywhere at very low cost. It’s not a pipe dream, it’s a lack of political will.
It doesn’t take several billion dollars of R&D onto a tech that will never work outside of 1% of the road network and could actually not reduce cars accidents at all once it faces real world conditions.
If the goal is to reduce traffic accidents, this is the most expensive, slowest and inefficient way to do it.
EDIT: Autonomous driving will solve traffic and traffic deaths as much as EVs are going to solve global warning. They are plausible lies that techno oligarchs use to distract from the real causes of the problems they purport to solve and are actually just new money funnels for the oil industrial complex.
