Note that this was a 10% cut. Meta has a lot of staff. They are also slightly pivoting to AR glasses, as they say Ray-Ban Display sales are much higher than anticipated. I think they see their chance of cornering the VR market as gone (probably because of android xr) (see https://www.uploadvr.com/meta-pauses-third-party-horizon-os-headsets/ ) but think they have a chance to dominate AR glasses / wearables.

i have played halo infinite a lot (~200 hrs, not that much but my highest fps game) and the way its designed it always pairs me with people who are pretty evenly matched, with occasional ones outside of the norm. which is fine for moment-to-moment gameplay but takes away any sense of how good I actually am compared to the average (and any sense of progression that could come with that)

I have ADHD but not autism and I do this. It's basically normal ADHD executive dysfunction I think, for me at least

btw shutter encoder (foss) has a thing to automatically normalize the audio of a video file to the standard loudness level

This video is silly but does a good job of conveying how dumb chatbots can actually be especially if you think you're onto something. Even though your idea makes sense (I don't know enough about physics to say either way), keep in mind this is the thing that you're sharing it with. If it's dumb when asked a dumb question it's not a good sign for how smart it will be when asked a smart question.

Edit: just remembered about this person recently brought up on a discord server I'm on who was clearly having some chatbot break down over physics in a weird way https://github.com/aaronschutza/Research

This one is particularly obviously nonsensical https://github.com/aaronschutza/Research/blob/main/APH_Quake.pdf

Anyways the point is that AI is absolutely not trustworthy in any way

Note that many game studios prioritize consoles first and whatever room there is to turn up or down the settings is what makes it to the pc version. When benchmarking level performance targets they're going to use console hardware. They're selling it for the Xbox series S, so that's probably going to be what the devs are considering as the lower end of a decent experience. So that means that an a580, rx 6600, or 2060 super will be more than good enough. The series S only has 10 gb of shared cpu-gpu ram, so it will have to run on fairly limited ram as well.

Decent I think, as long as you don't want to use XeSS

highly recommend this video on the topic (and this channel in general really) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_dlxbGUNNQ

Makes sense though, since it is the best image format that is actually supported. Probably the best overall outside of lossless now with tune=iq, idk about AV2, h265, or h266 tho.

The thing is, JXL has a lot of un-exploited potential for better encoding tools within the same codec, mostly from the fact that it has like 5 part time devs compared to the multi-company teams that AOM has.

[–] AdrianTheFrog@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

JXL is coming very soon actually to Chrome, Firefox, and any up-to-date PDF viewer (they're adding it to the format)

Has support in eog, imageglass, whatever that foss galley app on Android is called, a lot of open source software, anything Apple (safari, iOS everywhere)

Just in time for AV2!

I was trying to set up mail for my server, to send status emails, gitlab emails, etc. I know this can be done with relays but I was interested in sending mail directly using SMTP. Apparently my ATT residential internet blocks outbound signals on that port by default, although there are several reports of people calling customer support and getting that changed.

The most recent thing I can find was someone on Reddit 3 years ago:

xnojack: Probably depends on the rep. Just got mine unblocked a week ago. I read online though its better to say you're looking to allow SMTP outbound rather than port 25 outbound. Cause on the reps end its called something like SMTP outbound filter. (link)

I tried to call in and get this changed, the rep was very helpful but either something's changed on their end or he was looking in the wrong place. Anyways, I was wondering if any of you have gone through this process recently and know if this is still a thing, or have any advice.

These have both been taken with the exact same camera from the same location. The one on the left is with the OnePlus camera app, and the one on the right is from a community modification of the Google camera app to work on the OnePlus 12. The Google one looks a lot better because they use super-resolution from multiple short exposures automatically.

The Google camera app does not usually look better without zoom (in my short time testing) and also has a harder time focusing.

 

like really, you're just realizing that now??

What New York might look like with a double slit as your camera aperture.

What an eye might see, for comparison:

Here's a different, big double slit:

 

in the new minecraft april fools snapshot

it makes your gear degrade quicker with damage

 
 

With the smaller 14b model (q4_k_m), just letting it complete the text starting with "why do I"

edit: bonus, completely nonsensical (?) starting with "I don't" (what could possibly be causing it to say this?)

 

I was thinking about how hard it is to accurately determine whether a screenshot posted online is real or not. I'm thinking there could be an option in the browser to take a "secure screenshot", which would tag the screenshot with the date, url, and whether the page was modified on your computer. It could then hash both the tag and the image data and automatically upload this hash to some secure server somehow. There would need to be a way to guarantee that only the browser could do this, or at least some way to tell exactly what the source was. I'm not much of a cryptography person, but I would be surprised if it isn't possible to do this. Then, you could check if the screenshot you see is legitimate by seeing if it's hash exists in the list of real hashes.

 

mitosis or some such

 

I'm sure everyone's fine with this

 

reference image if you have no idea what I'm talking about:

I know this is a minor nitpick, but it's something that annoys me.

I got this graphics card mostly because it was the best deal on Amazon at the time (gpu shortage), and I also thought it looked decent from the images they had. However, when I actually installed it, all I see is the relatively unattractive looking black metal backplate with some white text. The other side is always the side shown in the promotional images too - not a single one of the pictures in the Amazon listing even shows the side that you'll be seeing 99.9% of the time. Do they think everyone hangs their PCs above them from the ceiling, or has open-air testbenches? Why do they never even bother with the other side? I know they want the fans on the bottom so the cooling is better, but the air in front of the CPU shouldn't be that bad, a lot of cheaper GPUs don't need that much cooling, and a ton of people have watercooling now anyways so the CPU radiators just go on the sides.

 

my reasoning: the actual colors we can see -> the wavelengths that we can extrapolate to -> basically extrapolated wavelengths plus an 'unpure-ness' factor -> not even real wavelengths (ok well king blue and maybe lavender if I'm being generous could be)
