   You haven't seen the drone videos where they drop artillery shells from drones? Or the vast webs of fiber optic cables strewn across crater filled Ukrainian farmland from the necessitated by the massive amount of drone jamming and crow

   I was under the impression that the tokenmaxxing phenomenon was mostly propaganda from the hyperscalers and their vendors to keep the AI funding gravy train alive and prevent demand collapse from popping the bubble. The big catastrope for v

   PVS isn't that expensive to compute. Especially nowadays. I assume this is actually referring to the binary space partitioning techniques used in DOOM and improved in Quake, Half-Life, etc in the late 90s, early 2000s. The BSP tree was

   The entire Fallout series, lol. Just played Fallout 2, and there's still unpatched game breaking bugs in there.

   I feel there was a very narrow time window in the 90s when a bunch of game franchises were started where the devs could get away with shipping stuff with a ton of bugs. The first two Fallout games come to mind. So does the original Deus Ex.

    I posted Bernie's "Conversation with Claude" a while back, and it was just about immediately taken down. Let's face it Y combinator is mostly AI startups for the next few years, and any anti-AI sentiment is going to hurt

    Don't forget the coastal geography. Iran's coastline in the Persian gulf is longer than California's coastline, and they can do drone attacks anywhere in the Gulf, not just the narrow strait portion that everyone seems to foc

    The world has seen this play out before. Launch a service, sell it at a loss to achieve hypergrowth, raise prices add ads and enshittify. The thing that is difference is the scale and the hardware. When Britain underwent its rail building b

    Artists did generate a lot of those lods. At the very least they had to hand tune a lot of them. Look at the sheer quality of some of these: https://www.adriancourreges.com/blog/2015/11/02/gta-v-graphi...

    Doom the Dark Ages uses some pretty advanced (and performance intense) illumination techniques which i believe are comparable ro megalights. They ripped our Carmacks texture streaming stuff outta the engine years,ago though

    I actually used similar camera draw distance trick in my game Rogue Stargun. The real way to optimize this stuff really well is for the artist to spend a lot of time making LODS for the distant objects. For the really distant objects, esp f

    It ticks many boxes for me on the surface, but I've read a few articles that critique some of its design choices. Rust really ticks the "it got all the design choices right" boxes, but fighting the borrow checker and understa

    As an AI engineer I kinda wish the community had landed on Go or something in the early days. C# would also be great, although it tends to be pretty verbose. Python just has too strong network effects. In the early days it was between pytho

    A recent study reveals that aging doesn't happen linearly or gradually, but actually undergoes some major jumps around age 44 and 60.
