Hmmm..... AI is increasing computer cost in the short-term, but as the industry advances computation power as it relates to AI (which is a close enough analog to transistor count) will increase to support Moore's law.

I dispute this, because "edge based computing" is improving with Moore's law along with all the improvements to cloud-based computing. Even my phone which is generally built to have constant wirelss communication has much more utility when it works without service. Starlink, which accomplishes...

Doubt it. A Song of Ice and Fire and related works: A Song of Ice and Fireseries: A Game of Thrones (1996) A Clash of Kings (1998) A Storm of Swords (2000) A Feast for Crows (2005) A Dance with Dragons (2011) The Winds of Winter (planned) A Dream of Spring (planned) Dungeon Crawler Carl...

That's super sad. In that crowd they should know better and have a mechanism to detect when you pass out to perform CPR. Like, they have to hold a rock above the water or something. This video is super old and has changed the way I view CPR. I'm sure assistant bro's heart is beating at 180...

Cool. I used to work in Unity, the last 6 years I've been using Unreal Engine. It's really good but the last 2 years of UE5 development have been a bit of a disappointment. I'm wondering if UE6 is going to die under its own weight and get outworked by Godot.

That's funny. Anytime I see the OG particle effects in a video it's a pure nostalgia hit for me, despite having been playing EQ steadily over the last decade. That they haven't enabled it despite people wanting it is just one of many instances of them being incapable. THJ is just the tip of the...

That's interesting. I'm not familiar with EQ's packet structure, much less MnM. Is their packet structure significantly different? The way a human would do it (Or at least, what I do when I need to reverse engineer closed source systems...) is record the datastream in wireshark and trigger...

Anytime I think about getting into PvE raiding again I think about the months I spent in 40 man Naxx and go back to playing Galactic Racer.

A challenge with EQ is that most of the good stuff is server-side. I'm guessing that Claude knows about the information present in https://www.eqemulator.org/ and similar projects and can replicate that in an arbitrary engine like UE. But it wouldn't be able to do the same thing with, say, the...

Yes, this is a huge issue. There a couple problems these AI-coded rip-offs present: 1. The scope of changes in some of these vibe-coded pull requests are so vast you can't expect the open-source community to really understand what's going on. 2. Normally an open-source project is built up over...

No. Marathon runners can look like regularl fit people, but they frequently look like skeletons shambling through a track. https://ultrarunning.com/featured/ultra-weekend-recap-february-9/

Looks cool but I'm still playing Valheim for the first time. I'll probably wait until the first major content release for Enshrouded.

I'm curious if you've seen anything coding up companion-extending BG3 mods. ElevenLabs is so damn good at duplicating voices, I have to imagine some people are using it to duplicate BG3's characters and creating content around it. I can't be the only one that would replay BG3 if there was a mod...

Got to plains, this is also feeling like a sunny vacation after the mountains, though I had (foolishly) built a plains base before killing Moder. My crew is a bit languid, I'll be about done with the plains but we probably won't kill the plains boss for a few weeks.
