It seems like Japan’s government has made such app

As has often been reiterated: piracy is a service problem. If what you get by paying more is an inferior service, then people don’t want to pay for that service.

The greatest irony would be if OpenAI was killed by an open AI

I believe this will ultimately be good news for Nvidia, terrible news for OpenAI.

Better access to software is good for hardware companies. Nvidia is still the world leader when it comes to delivering computing power for AI. That hasn’t changed (yet). All this means is that more value can be made from Nvidia gpus.

For OpenAI, their entire business model is based on the moat they’ve built around ChatGPT. They made a $1B bet on this idea - which they now have lost. All their competitive edge is suddenly gone. They have no moat anymore!

Agree, but the market doesn’t think rationally.

Better access to software is good for hardware companies. Nvidia is still the best company when it comes to this kind of computing hardware.

This is my thought, but I think many young men are (rightfully) frustrated, but they don’t know what they’re frustrated about. It’s hard to get a job - especially without higher education. It’s hard to buy a home and build a family. Many young men are increasingly more alone.

At the same time, there’s a lot of talk about the ” white male privilege”. ”What privilege?”, they might think. They don’t feel particularly privileged about their situation.

And then they find people like Jordan Peterson who seem to speak for their struggles. For first time they hear someone seem to understand them. And they point to the (very wrong) diagnosis of the situation: it’s the woke identity politics fault! But that’s good enough for them, and that’s where the alt-right pipeline starts.

It happens when there’s no meaningful competition, and when the friction of switching to a competing product is too high. Companies want to make more money with less. If you can get away with doing less without losing a significant amount of customers, then you will do it.

For example, the problem with switching social media is that you have to rebuild all your connections. They can make it worse, because customers aren’t willing to switch.

Another example is Windows. If you’re dependent on a program that only works on Windows it’s hard to make to jump to Linux.

Liberals are just sheep. They believe whatever the media tells them.

That projection.

My first reaction when seeing the salute was ” oh come on, it can’t be that bad… oh it’s way worse than I thought”

As a man who’s struggling with dating, Bumble has always been more effective for me than Tinder

Microsoft has already lost the console wars, and now it starts to look like they might even lose the PC wars. Is there any future for Microsoft gaming? It feels like the only thing they got going for them is Call of Duty.

Emulating DK’s Jungle Parkway in MK64 goes brrrr

Not only that. Emulators must often ”cheat” to achieve high speeds. This means emulators doesn’t try to achieve a 1:1 replication of what’s happening inside the hardware, but something that’s gives close enough results and better tailored for modern hardware.

The reason why N64 is particularly difficult is because each game must be optimized individually (due to the heavy reliance on microcode). The emulator must replicate the hardware at a much lower level for an accurate emulation of all games. Emulator developers can apply optimizations on each individual game, but it’s incredibly time consuming to do so for every game in the N64 library.

Well, MVG is an experienced programmer, especially with emulation and homebrews, so he knows what he’s talking about.

The video says that emulation has always worked better on popular games. But if you try to emulate a less popular game, you will run into major issues. This is because the emulation must be tweaked for each game specifically due to how N64 hardware works.

The catch about Lemmy is that degenerates like me are here

I like DS for what it is: the first fully 3D Mario Kart on a handheld console. Played quite a lot of it back in the days. It was also the first one with online play.

I think the missions was a fun addition as well. It’s the only Mario Kart game that features boss battles (to my knowledge).

I’m not sure. I preferred MK64 back in the day.

I think the specials make the game quite unbalanced. It’s more about picking favorite special rather than favorite character. If you don’t like a particular special, well then you will never play those characters (I’m looking at you Peach and Daisy).

With the other MK games I just pick whatever character I feel like playing today.

I also didn’t like how triple shells became limited to the Koopas only. Those should be accessible by everyone.

I’m meaning more in the sense of a wearable head device developed by a big tech company. It’s heavily marketed as the next big thing. Many talk about it - both with anticipation and concern. And when it finally releases, it’s quickly forgotten about.

Hololens did the same.

It’s Google Glass all over again.

Has any significant 3rd party apps been made for it?
