Same shit happens on YouTube when commenting, so annoying

I believe I’ve seen them announce that already, so, yeah

Not really an option considering it’s even more locked down.

Hope Valve comes up with something eventually, after all they’ve been getting into x86 emulation for mobile ARM chips lately. Granted, it was for VR, but still.

I’d wait for Valve Frame to come out.

It’s supposed to be around the price of Index, hopefully less expensive.

Primarily because of Meta’s track record of breaking their headsets with software updates, it’s also going to be significantly lighter at the front, which is important. And will have eye tracking with foveated streaming.

For the last month, every time I tried to jump into VR I had a bug that prevented me from using the headset completely, so I’d just choose to play on PC instead.

I trust Valve to make a much more hastle-free experience than Meta at this point. And be probably switching myself as long as the price in my region allows for it.

Terraria at it’s core is about boss progression.

Here are the mandatory ones in order of completion:

1. Wall of flesh (<= after beating it is when the fun part starts, early game is kinda sluggish)
2. 3 Mechanical bosses
3. Plantera
4. Golem
5. Lunatic Cultist
6. Moon Lord

The rest is prep work for each one.

• Collecting NPCs and making housing for them
• Collecting weapons, armour, accessories
• Building arenas for bosses
• Building farming locations
• Defeating optional bosses for more powerful loot
• Grinding defeated bosses for specific drops

What I usually do is:

1. Build starter house
2. Go mining
3. Go exploring
4. Beat corruption/crimson boss
5. Make housing for NPCs
6. Make a hellevator
7. Make wall of flesh arena, beat it with dynamite
8. Lots and lots of gear grinding
9. More prep work for mechanical bosses

The last 2 repeat for each boss that’s on the list and often include beating other bosses or events for their loot.

They also already have installation from external sources turned on by default.

Why the hell are we babying people who turn it off? They read the warning, they know the risks.

You don’t need a credit card for a dev account. You do, however, need to have a “business” attached. Luckily, that business they’re asking for doesn’t need to be verified, so it can be just a random string of letters.

Still bs that you have to go through all of that just to install apps you want.

fixed, ty

I don’t trust Microsoft to make apps on their OS work as well as on x86. Their support so far with X elite/pro chips was very telling.

Credit where credit is due, Apple worked hard with other developers to make the transition to ARM possible. Microsoft doesn’t seem to be bothered to do that much.

Wait, they were planning to release B4 on Switch 2? With that “optimisation”?

What were they smoking there?

That’s Capcom doing a lecture on optimisation with MH Wilds as an example all over again.

Man, these decision-makers are something else.

Almost same sigle-core preformance, but much higher multi-core.

If you can do it for very cheap then go for it. 12 cores is always nice to have, especially going up from just 4.

Same with going from DDR3 to DDR4.

1. Skyrim
2. Minecraft
3. Destiny 2

Proxy is a step below VPN since it doesn’t tunnelise data.

Anti-detect browsers. Do you mean Tor? It’s a decent solution, albeit the slowest one.

What people use to bypass the great Chinese firewall is VPN with VLESS protocols. Unlike usual VPN protocols, those are specifically made to bypass censorship.

Any government already has all of that information, so, no.

By giving it to a company, you just increase the risks of info leakage.

A little background info:

Russia’s been sponsoring one of its oligarchs’ business by eliminating their competition.

First, they restricted YouTube’s speed to an unusable state to force people to switch to RuTube (they didn’t)

Now they’re trying to force people to switch from WhatsApp (and potentially Telegram) to MAX, which they want to be Russia’s version of WeChat.

Add the fact that our politicians are obsessed with controlling all of the media and you’ll get the gist of it.

Reach and convenience. Why do you think podcasts exist on YouTube when they could’ve as well been audio-only?

Besides, some people like to see the speaker, because it gives visual clues about what’s being said. Not everybody absorbs info efficiently through reading texts or just listening. Sometimes you need more than one way of recieving information.

People don’t predict values to determine their answers to questions…

Also, it’s called neural network, not because it works exactly like neurons but because it’s somewhat similar. They don’t “run on neural networks”, they’re called like that because it’s more than one regression model where information is being passed on from one to another, sort of like a chain of neurons, but not exactly. It’s just a different name for a transformer model.

I don’t know enough to properly compare it to actual neurons, but at the very least, they seem to be significantly more deterministic and way way more complex.

Literally, go to chatgpt and try to test its common reasoning. Then try to argue with it. Open a new chat and do the exact same questions and points. You’ll see exactly what I’m talking about.

Alzheimer’s is an entirely different story, and no, it’s not stochastic. Seizures are stochastic, at least they look like that, which they may actually not be.

It’s not. It’s a math formula that predicts an output based on its parameters that it deduced from training data.

Say you have following sets of data.

1. Y = 3, X = 1
2. Y = 4, X = 2
3. Y = 5, X = 3

We can calculate a regression model using those numbers to predict what Y would equal to if X was 4.

I won’t go into much detail, but

Y = 2 + 1x + e

e in an ideal world = 0 (which it is, in this case), that’s our model’s error, which is typically set to be within 5% or 1% (at least in econometrics). b0 = 2, this is our model’s bias. And b1 = 1, this is our parameter that determines how much of an input X does when predicting Y.

If x = 4, then

Y = 2 + 1×4 + 0 = 6

Our model just predicted that if X is 4, then Y is 6.

In a nutshell, that’s what AI does, but instead of numbers, it’s tokens (think symbols, words, pixels), and the formula is much much more complex.

This isn’t intelligence and not deduction. It’s only prediction. This is the reason why AI often fails at common sense. The error builds up, and you end up with nonsense, and since it’s not thinking, it will be just as confidently incorrect as it would be if it was correct.

Companies calling it “AI” is pure marketing.

We teach the fundamentals

Sure. They are, however, not the focus. At least that’s not how I’ve been taught in school. You’re not teaching kids how to prove the quadratic formula, do you? No, you teach them how to use it instead. The goal here is different.

They only teach order of operations.

Again, with the order of operations. It’s not a thing. I’ve given you two examples that don’t follow any.

The constructivist learners…

That’s kinda random, but sure?

And many proofs of other rules…

They all derive from each other. Even those fundamental properties are. For example, commutation is used to prove identity.

But the order you apply operators does matter

2+2-2 = 4-2 = 2+0 = 0

2 operators, no order followed.

If we take your example

2+3×4 then it’s not an order of operation that plays the role here. You have no property that would allow for (2+3)×4 to be equal 2+3×4

Look, 2+3×4 = 1+3×(2+2)+1 = 1+(6+6)+1 = 7+7 = 14

Is that not correct?

Notably you picked…

It literally has subtraction and distribution. I thought you taught math, no?

2-2 is 2 being, hear me out, subtracted from 2

Same with 2×(2-2), I can distribute the value so it becomes 4-4

No addition? Who cares, subtraction literally works the same, but in opposite direction. Same properties apply. Would you feel better if I wrote (2-2) as (1+1-2)? I think not.

Also, can you explain how is that cherry-picking? You only need one equation that is solvable out of order to prove order of operation not existing. One is conclusive enough. If I give you two or more, it doesn’t add anything meaningful.
