The price seems ok. There’s more to consider than price though. Do people dislike them because of the quality of their work?

Thanks for the tip. I might have to try that. It was working mostly fine one day (no VRR) and then it was completely broken the next. :(

VRR isn’t supported by default by most distros. Just because it works with your setup doesn’t mean it works for others.

Also, this event seems to be primarily focused on AMD/Mesa support.

Err… no it doesn’t. There are so many bug reports of neither HDR nor VRR working properly with the steam deck. My deck won’t even dock properly with my TV after recent updates.

It’s better than most other linuxes in the sense that it works sometimes I guess.

This patch is awesome. FSR3 looks so much better than FSR2. The frame generation seems to work pretty well on my desktop. I can run the game at 1080p ultra with my midrange system now and even in new Atlantis and what not it’s managing at least 60 fps and it really feels quite good.

Combine that with all of the graphical artifacting fixes from the previous patches and the game looks really gorgeous now imo.

That’s really exciting news. I thought for sure Microsoft was going to keep it exclusive.

You’re certainly not the only software developer worried about this. Many people across many fields are losing sleep thinking that machine learning is coming for their jobs. Realistically automation is going to eliminate the need for a ton of labor in the coming decades and software is included in that.

However, I am quite skeptical that neural nets are going to be reading and writing meaningful code at large scales in the near future. If they did we would have much bigger fish to fry because that’s the type of thing that could very well lead to the singularity.

I think you should spend more time using AI programming tools. That would let you see how primitive they really are in their current state and learn how to leverage them for yourself. It’s reasonable to be concerned that employees will need to use these tools in the near future. That’s because these are new, useful tools and software developers are generally expected to use all tooling that improves their productivity.

Yes! Now I get to continue enjoying the fruits of unpaid labor. Even better I’ll be able to complain about every niche issue I have without ever contributing anything. Woohoo!

401k (employer sponsored) and IRA (individual account) are managed by investment companies. They’re not a state operated asset. It seems unlikely that the government would move it away from these investment companies because they’re probably great a lobbying.

The law states that these retirement accounts should be completely untouched and recoverable if the company goes bankrupt.

Historically the market returns have been around 7% annually over the long long term but that fluctuates a lot and might not even be possible into the future but America is good at pumping those numbers up so idk.

You don’t remember gore in Fallout? There are meat bags, dismembered bodies hanging and spiked, limbs get blown/ripped off regularly, etc.

I don’t understand the point you’re trying to make. It seems like what you’re saying doesn’t follow the conversation logically. I think that’s why the other commenter asked if you’re ok.

Does it? I love answering questions and I answered yours

The dates in the article confuse me because they say the fossils are related to the great oxidation event but it’s not clear how long after. Also, they make a relative date to another date that doesn’t seem to be provided.

Edit: Reading the linked source it’s clear that the fossil is dated to around 2.3-2.4 billion years ago. It does seriously suggest that complex multicellular life existed then. Very cool!

I knew a goth girl in high school who was into blood play. She wanted to be cut during sex. I don’t think she was otherwise into self-harm which is interesting.

All humans? No. There are plenty of people who couldn’t care less what you want to know.

I would say probably. As the internet has shown us cats can be trained to do so many things.

You would need to understand the fundamentals of cat training, the things that motivate your cats, and a lot of patience.

They’re not distinctly a pack animal but feral cats often form groups to benefit their survival. A cat pack is called a clowder. :)

That’s such a silly argument. Nobody is forcing you to buy Fortnite skins when your kid is starving. Monetary incentives are how the things people want get created. Yes, there would still be plenty of content on the internet if we banned monetization of digital goods but it would be overwhelmingly incoherent and low quality.

It would also destroy the livelihood of millions of people. What about their children? Do they not deserve to eat?

Edit: I should add that it would be more reasonable for you to say “food and healthcare should be available to everyone”. That’s not an unreasonable statement.

Digital goods are infinite but the cost to produce them is real. If stock images were free there wouldn’t be very many of them.

As others have said it is never too late to learn a language. Our brains are just as capable, if not more, when we’re adults.

I’m also a firm believer that comprehensible input (listening and attempting to understand) is the best way to learn a language. You can’t start with high level speech though. You need to start with speech that is aimed at beginners or you won’t understand enough for it to be effective.

Studying vocabulary in parallel helps a lot because it helps you learn niche words that don’t come up often in normal speech.

The typical recommendation with comprehensible input is to listen for around a thousand hours and then start practicing with conversation and books as well.

Good luck! Remember that with enough dedicated time you can learn anything. :)
