I’m not quite following. From my recollection meta ethics deal with the origins of morality, with absolutism being that morality is as inherent to nature as, say, gravity is, and relativism that morality is a social construct we have made up.

Is it hypocrisy to acknowledge something is a social construct while also strongly believing in it?

If I grew up in the 1400s I’d probably hold beliefs more aligned with the values of the time. I prefer modern values because I grew up in modern society. I find these values superior but also acknowledge my reason for finding them superior ultimately boils down to the sheer random chance of when and where I was born.

The death of PC gaming is often exaggerated, be it vr or flat. The open nature of the platform will always have a certain audience.

Good. There is a lot of fear that Russia will only use a cease fire to regroup.

Talk softly and carry a big stick.

It is not just the prime minister candidate saying this. Every party leader is in agreement that the talk of annexation needs to stop.

Puma is pretty alright from my experience. They are based in Germany, pretty large and mainstream.

Is the claim that a corporation runs this community to do self-promotion actually based on anything substantial or are they just being weird on Reddit?

If they don’t then they might lose the Brazilian market and who knows what comes after. It’s less about what Apple wants to do and more about what they might be forced to do.

Nokia is a mobile infrastructure giant. They are just mostly business to business, so like Texas Instruments they are rather easy to mistake for being small.

Live service games are not only balanced around tedium, they are designed around tedium. Without it people wouldn’t buy boosters etc.

Adapting the meta faster than people can catch up and letting people pay to keep up simply switches the game from balance by tedium to straight up pay to win. Or pay to play optionally, at least, which live service games heavily push you towards doing.

People will chase the meta regardless. Balancing a game by introducing tedium often results in people merely finding the game tedious.

Why the fuck would that be understandable lmao

I would be cautious to trust an American company just because they are non-profit. We know that if they get sufficiently big they can just transition into being for profit (see OpenAi), chances are regulations regarding this won’t become stronger later.

Signal being open source of course helps, but it’s usually the ecosystem that people grow to rely on that keeps them in place, not the technology. Just look at how big Reddit is compared to Lemmy for a good example of that. If signal was federal that would be quite different since jumping ship would be easy.

And call of duty takes 100 of those xD

You can offload them into ram. The response time gets way slower once this happens, but you can do it. I’ve run a 70b llama model on my 3060 12gb at 2 bit quantisation (I do have plenty of ram so no offloading from ram to disk at least lmao). It took like 6-7 minutes to generate replies but it did work.

An external cartridge processing and providing battery power seems like a much better idea than the current solution of wearing the computer on your face. A small shoulder strapped device weighing a few hundred grams with a headset with more of a BSB sort of profile would be ideal for me.

I’m glad to see Apple experimenting with some ideas like this, not so much because I want an Apple headset, but because if it turns out to be a popular idea others will jump on board.

Well this is rather ironic. I’m thinking of the Opium Wars back in the day.

It seems like it carries some of the same DNA as the recent Metro vr game based just on this review: repetitive corridor shooter with horror elements. I might pick it up after I finish up with Metro since I think horror is a genre that vr truly elevates - even if it is so damn stressful to actually play them haha.

Didn’t some early 3d pc games have this effect as well? I vaguely remember the wobbliness from the first Quake (or was it unreal? Can’t remember).
