  • My issue is more with the math of it. Since it requires holding your frames until you’ve got one in reserve (can’t generate an in-between until you know what’s next), it fundamentally makes the game less responsive.

    That said, if you understand that, and like the visual smoothness of motion with more frames, then it’s super cool tech. Not every game has to be treated like it’s competitive Counter Strike, and I think it’s really cool if you like it, but it frustrates me how poorly marketed and understood the actual technology and its compromises are.


  • Eh, FSR3 upscaling and FSR3 frame generation are different things. I’m personally a fan of upscaling, it’s great for a sharper picture on my large 4k TV without spending a fortune on a massive GPU (I use a living room gaming PC), but not at all a fan of frame generation, as it introduces more input lag for the illusion of more frames. Not a tradeoff I’m ever willing to make, especially when VRR already does an incredible job of creating the illusion (and a degree of reality) of good performance when my framerate drops.


  • I think it is a problem. Maybe not for people like us, that understand the concept and its limitations, but “formal reasoning” is exactly how this technology is being pitched to the masses. “Take a picture of your homework and OpenAI will solve it”, “have it reply to your emails”, “have it write code for you”. All reasoning-heavy tasks.

    On top of that, Google/Bing have it answering user questions directly, it’s commonly pitched as a “tutor”, or an “assistant”, the OpenAI API is being shoved everywhere under the sun for anything you can imagine for all kinds of tasks, and nobody is attempting to clarify it’s weaknesses in their marketing.

    As it becomes more and more common, more and more users who don’t understand it’s fundamentally incapable of reliably doing these things will crop up.





  • They did overhaul the controller mapping in this update, along with just about everything else, so it would be worth checking out. I really can’t emphasize enough how massive this update is, it’s like the emulator leaping from 2010 to 2024, they’ve been exceptionally active over the past 4 years.

    Aren’t there emulators for newer platforms out there now?

    And of course. I assume you’re referring to RPCS3 for PS3. PS4 is also in the early stages of being emulated, with simple games being playable.








  • Having used tailwind a little bit, I have nothing but praise for it. Effortless copy/pasting of components with confidence, really nice look by default, easy tweaking, absolutely no management or planning required to organize your CSS, and it’s all right there, directly on your html, never anywhere you have to hunt for it. Feels very freeing to just… not think about CSS at all.

    And the “clutter” really is fine, modern IDEs with good syntax highlighting, plus a tailwind extension to help complete the class names and clean up accidental duplicates or conflicting properties, and you’re good.

    Man, as someone new to F1, I don’t get the hate either. I hear people talk about legends like Schumacher all the time, and I think to myself, man, I wish I could’ve seen him in his prime, I wish I could’ve experienced that. And Max is absolutely a legend of that calibre. These records don’t lie, we’ll be debating if Max is the GOAT twenty years from now, and it really pleases me that I’ll get to say that I saw those records set and this legend at his peak.

    Watching a race go crazy, and wondering if maybe Max will put it in the wall, like with that scare at Eau Rouge in spa, or seeing a questionable tire decision that drops him down the order, or having to start in the rain with 5 laps left, all the while wondering if he’ll manage to hold up his once in a lifetime bid for a world record?

    It may not be as exciting as the crazy battles happening behind him, but it’s crazy to me how many people want to call it boring. Or hell, how many call the whole season boring, despite the rest of the grid seeing these insane swings in position.



  • I’m not sure I understand your position here, because voting is such a minor part of the system. A troll that only trolls by upvoting and downvoting isn’t much of a threat, unless they’ve got a dozen alt accounts or a botnet, both of which are different situations that should be handled differently. “The definition of a troll” is ridiculous hyperbole.

    And as far as bans are concerned, that’s a moderation problem, not your role as an individual. I’ve never suggested votes should be completely untraceable, that’d be patently ridiculous and remove the ability to actually handle vote manipulation. Moderators and admins should obviously have that access, as I’ve asserted in this thread.

    I’m also not advocating my votes be anonymous, I’m fine with having them public on my page. That alone gives you the complete ability to make a judgement about me as a person, or whatever it is you want to do with that. What I’m suggesting is that a user who’s just been downvoted shouldn’t have a trivial way of linking it to the individual who downvoted them in order to harass them.

    Frankly, the impression I’m getting is that you’re not actually paying much attention to the case I’ve made, and are instead just using my comments as a platform to have a completely different argument that you’re passionate about. That’s the ONLY way that you could have missed my point so entirely, and come to the conclusion that I could ONLY be a troll or a moron.



  • Yeah, having it on your user page is much less dangerous, imo. Still a possibility of getting called out if you downvote someone you’re arguing with, but you’re already in the comments there.

    The only way I see a problem is if someone writes a bot or extension that reads the user profile into something “per comment”, and if that gets enough traction and use to build up a strong database. However, in that case, I’d imagine the Lemmy devs would build a feature to let instance admins hide that information from regular users.
