They moved to on-die RAM for a reason: To nickel and dime yo ass.
I needed to expense a Mac Mini for iOS development, and everyone (Me, the company, our purchasing department) was baffled at how much it cost to get 16 GB. And they only go up to 24GB. Imagine how much they'll charge for 32 in a year!
Hi! I’m currently using navidrome, but eventually I will probably need support for multiple users (each user has access to different music or the same music) which isn’t supported in navidrome right now. I don’t really want to run two containers of the same thing if I can avoid it. Thanks
China's sex doll industry is embracing AI, creating interactive companions for a growing market. Though promising intimacy, technical and legal hurdles remain.
Do I have trust issues when I have to ask where the AI is gonna store our conversations, dick measurements, fetishes, turn-ons, times I start crying during copulation, times I stop crying during copulation, desires in life, and preferred types of lingerie; or are there legitimate infosec considerations?
How stupid do you have to be to believe that only 8% of companies have seen failed AI projects? We can't manage this consistently with CRUD apps and people think that this number isn't laughable? Some companies have seen benefits during the LLM craze, but not 92% of them. 34% of companies report that generative AI specifically...
Hacker News was silencing this article outright. That's typically a sign that its factual enough to strike a nerve with the potential CxO libertarian [slur removed] crowd.
If this is satire, I don't see it. Because i've seen enough of the GenAI crowd openly undermine society/the environment/the culture and be brazen about it; violence is a perfectly normal response.
Adobe kinda burned up any good will it had with...all the shit they pullin'.
I have no issue trusting someone at their word, but not when they spent their trust capital elsewhere. Adobe doesn't have any, because their reputation for decades now has been asinine pricing, M&As, and whatever crap they tried to do with Mixamo before someone told them to stop.

You know what I think is funny? The NFL doesn't have any footage of Super Bowl 1, the only known tape of the game is held by a private collector, but he can't watch it due to the NFL copyright. So its sitting in an Iron Mountain facility in the Poconos. And its deteriorating.

I spent most of today looking at places to rent in Denver and I come home to Google having killed it's fucking search engine. What the hell is going on
There used to be this music festival in my college town and they liked to charge absurd money for "tokens" to use at the vendors. I didn't use all of them but I found they worked in the parking meters (I think they detected as slugs, because they immediately gave me an hour and flashed the meter) but nobody in the city bothered to ticket me for it. I dunno, I felt kinda bad but at the same time, I don't like to parallel park.
For what its worth, I paid more for the tokens than I ever did parking.
I've been playing it and I feel like its not quite the 80/100 I expected. Its probably closer to a 70/100 to me. Which isn't bad, its just not reaching the highs Cataclysm/Emergence did. Its better than HW2, which had a pretty lazy heroes journey bs story. That's not an accomplishment though.
The megalith combat is really great. Its more interesting than just deep space combat that the franchise is known for. The story teeters between compelling and boring. The ship designs are amazing, and the fact I can see the elements of Sajuuk present in the Incarnate is compelling worldbuilding.
I am outright confused why they are using CGI cutscenes over the drawn cutscenes Homeworld is known for. The combat feels pretty basic, its not as smart as HWR Players Patch. This was a problem with DOK as well. I fear it will share DOK's other problem: it stops being interesting the moment the campaign ends, and i'll never touch it again.
Homeworld 3 was never going to move numbers, i'm worried Gearbox set this up to fail. I really think this franchise should branch out beyond RTS and give us games to explore the universe that, at times, feels as huge as its ambitions. I'm reminded of a one-off Kiith from the Cata manual, where they lost everything on Kharak -- their family, their other Kiithid; so they stole a freighter and a crusade against the Taiidan Remnant became all they lived for. As the bodies were stacked, their Kiith grew once more. That would be a badass game to play, a space sim like Freelancer where I am taking out the trash.
