Quantum computing reality vs quantum computing in popculture and marketing follows precisely the same line as quantum physics reality vs popular quantum physics.

  • Reality: Mostly boring multiplication of matrices, big engineering challenges, extremely interesting stuff if you're a nerd that loves the frontiers of human knowledge
  • Cranks: Literally magic, AntMan Quantummania was a documentary, give us all money

There's something hauntingly beautiful in levelling "you also haven't been touched by a woman loser" against a married man with a child

We already have this, it's just a Tesla with "FSD" on

Why did you have to make the strawberry sexy

I read the comments before the article and I thought I was about to read something with like a complicated narrative framing device but apparently HN chuds cannot disentangle a linear, first-person narrated blog post.

If you’re fine playing them on your PC, a remaster of the first two games is coming to Steam on June 10th.

Oh my god this is the best news I've heard this year

“I try not to let [performance] considerations get in the way

You could show me this without any context whatsoever and my first thought would've been "did a React dev say that"

My entire experience with Sony is that I loved Patapon on the PSP (I would sell my fucking soul to get it to play on a smartphone god) and I watch The Last of Us and that's it. None of their games exist as far as I'm concerned because I can't play them on PC. What, I'm going to play TLoU 2 without playing 1 or GoW 4 without playing 1-3? Go fuck yourselves.

Valhalla and Shadows are two of the best-selling Assassin's games even though they've been exactly equally as shit and tedious since Origin, so I'd put a [citation needed] on your "increasing irrelevancy".

Also which big game studios don't suck? The list you give below has, the top 10 largest in order,

  • Sony (I guess defensible, idk),
  • Tencent (lol), Microsoft (lmao)
  • Nintendo (legal almost as predatory as Oracle)
  • NetEase (???)
  • EA, Epic, Take-Two (sincerely wishing prostate cancer to all three of those CEOs)
  • MiHoYo (literally one gacha game), and
  • ROBLOX CORPORATION.

Not to mention that DLSS is basically standard config these days for better performance.

Ye and that's a fucking travesty and everyone responsible for UE5 should be hanged. And this is the rational, levelled take from me, most people I know would not put it as mildly.

Since basically all graphics processing algorithms are linear algebra and all of ML is linear algebra but with a twist, I think fuzzy background removal is definitely AI.

This term is so meaningless you could call A* an "AI algorithm" at this fucking point
