Uh funny timing but my desktop has been getting worse and worse recently until it just became unusable. Just opened it up to find that the liquid cooling for the CPU was leaking… I might have been neglecting my PC for a while. hopefully performance will be better once I get this fixed (and cleaned out)

Yeah I should probably add that it’s the 12-Core M2 Pro. I’m pretty close to the top of the line for MacBooks right now but I am still very impressed that it delivers. Not to mention how quiet the fans are; if they run at all.

Absolutely insane that it’s running better on my M2 MacBook than my 3070 desktop

Is it just me or is act 3 performance somehow worse?

To be clear, I don’t think the ruling was that the output is public domain. The ruling was just that it isn’t allowed to be copyrighted

You’re right and I have been considering this from the other commenter. It could be pretty interesting.

The only other consideration I’d have as a hobby developer is that it would be pretty expensive for a minor gain, but perhaps major studios wouldn’t have a problem with that

I actually don’t think this is a good use for NPCs. There’s tons of videos of people just getting them to say the craziest stuff and I don’t think it adds anything to the game.

It remains far better to have a writer carefully constructing the world and the dialogue

Ah, reducing vertices of a pre-made model is a challenge. You can use the Decimate modifier and tinker around until you find something that works, but it will rarely be ideal.

If you want to get a perfect topology you will have to do it manually. Look into methods of re-topology for this. It will pretty much be drawing faces over the existing mesh to create a brand new mesh. This requires a lot of time, effort, and experience with what a good topology looks like. I’d really recommend learning this at some point if you want to get better but it’s not an easy task. However, learning this will also allow you to learn to bake high resolution normals onto a lower resolution model, which is a really nice skill to have. Then your lower resolution model will be easy to work with and still look high quality!

You’re 100% right. The people who are already on these platforms are the ones that don’t like any algorithm at all, so they tend to be combative about its implementation. I don’t think there will be mainstream appeal until it is easy and fun to use for the average person

That’s not really how most recommendation algorithms work. A good basic algorithm would be showing you content that the people you follow are following or showing popular posts from a certain category that you tend to like

lmao

I think it might be good to create specific protocols in the ActivityPub documentation for the various types of social media to ensure interoperability.

No hard rules, but a guideline for how to ensure you are maximizing compatibility, maybe.

This was a good read and it’s something I’ve wondered about. The fediverse is sorta built on this promise that everyone will be able to interact across any implementation of ActivityPub.

But that’s not really true. The different types of social media have wildly different implementations, where we have to rely on developers communicating and cooperating with other implementations for everything to work even a little bit

I’ve never felt that country TLDs were worth using and this has only cemented that opinion for me

Holy shit this is actually kind of a huge story

That’s not true. There are a few other free TLDs. I think five total?

It’s not jumping to conclusions; it’s actually pretty well-known. The devs and their instance are very open about being Marxist-Leninists.

I don’t see how machine learning is related to Lemmy in any way

I can’t believe someone else is having the exact same conversation with the exact same person as me

Thats not a rebuttal. The .ml instance is run by Marxist-Leninists
