A fair bit above them, only graphics are a problem. Intel i5 11th gen, Intel Iris UHD graphics, 16GB RAM.

Understandable. Sorry, let's hope for a quick and just peace then.

Such a strange thing to say. Are you saying war did not exist before Russia-Ukraine war? Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria...US instigated wars aren't evil enough for you?

Stormgate is one of the recent promising titles.

"Is it anti western propaganda that you've swallowed uncritically?" No, just common sense after looking at the pictures from NASA's archive. And also, looking at all the hard evidence presented by this guy convinced me t

I sometimes wonder if NASA has a dedicated team paid just to "debunk" people who claim that Moon landing is faked. Nearly every comment I leave about it gets a (rather poorly constructed) reply. EDIT: After leaving a recent reply

Are there any popular 4vs4 games? I will first start versus AI, then take it from there. Not really a competitive player anymore. Playing Brood War kinda makes you dislike multiplayer RTS after a while, haha.

They are bragging about having a challenging AI. We will see, I've just downloaded the game. Hopefully, the AI is better than Blizzard's 98's Brood War brain-dead computer :)

Yes, I like the terrain. But the unit designs really show their age.

These types of RTSs are way less "arcadey" than Warcraft 3 or Starcraft, so I don't think supporting custom games is on the devs radar. What you're usually after in these games are huge battles on massive worlds with tho

Would I need a fairly powerful machine to run this? I can run Starcraft 2, is that enough? I've toyed with Total Annihilation, but the graphics were too old, even for Brood War fan such as myself.

"This is next-level space engineering compared to what's come before." What an odd thing to say. Are you suggesting that Starship is next-level when compared to Saturn V? Hehe. I guess people nowadays lack any sort of histori

"By this criteria, I would say failure/partial failure or partial sucess. There is no way this was a success." Not only it is not success, it is a massive failure when compared to the magic technology from the 60's. Spac

In the span of ~50 years, we've gone from "sending men to the Moon" to "barely sending an empty rocket to the orbit". Isn't science great?

Let's pretend NASA is a carmaker company. It successfully builds Golf 2, one of the most versatile cars ever made. That car can do everything and go anywhere. Now, say that NASA wanted to upgrade that car after 50+ years. And now, that

You are speaking from a position where the Moon landing is a proven, undisputed fact verified by everyone. In order for it to be that, it needs to be done again . Speaking plainly, it needs to be repeated in a reasonable enough timeframe,

Not sure how people wanting some privacy means that someone "should be able to personally launch intercontinental ballistic missiles without being detected"?!

No. If thing go south, they'd just suicide themselves manually.

by wheelerof4te 3y ago
Well, we don't know how hard it is. But if it hasn't been done yet, it must be much harder than most people think. If you do manage to make a thinking, working AGI machine, would you call it "a living being"? No, the mac

I know. I was quoting the article piece.

AGI without a body is just a glorified chatbot that is dependant on available, human provided resources. To create true AGI, you would need to make the software aware of its surroundings and provide it with a way to experience the real worl

Spot the intruder. Or should I just say "Amugus" in this day and age?

That "the most important company in the world" bit is so out of touch with reality. Imagine the hubris.

As another comment below mentioned, Elon Musk hinted at this in his interview with Lex Fiedman. Specifically, he mentioned that OpenAI is supposed to be open source and non-profit. Pursuing profit and making it closed-source brings "ba

I'm confused. It's usually the other way around; the good guy is ousted because he is hindering the company's pursuit of profit.

Guess the Moon landing then was just a stunt for putting the damn flag there. Mission accomplished boys, let's pretend that Moon doesn't exist for 50+ years. /s For the record, I do want Artemis to succeed.

"Modern engineering methods are just too different to just recreate a Saturn V without effectively redesigning it from scratch, at which point it might as well be a much more capable vehicle like Starship." I'm all for it, an

"You don't just build a Saturn rocket and moonlander in your own factory (inhouse) one day. There is a massive supply chain" You miss the point. They used those rockets multiple times to go to the Moon, it's not like it

by wheelerof4te 3y ago
There are now destroyers, frigates and aircraft carries that do the same job more efficiently. I can't really say how we now have a better rocket that can send people to the Moon.
