If that's the issue, then EU will have to either allow this or subsidize alternatives that don't, otherwise they will not be able to compete.

This will happen automatically once an EU native cloud exists with comparable pricing. Get on it. No one will pay 10x to store data in Europe.

Haven't used one since the day I finished school. I still have it though. It's like an artifact from another time...

People use the same word because all of those actions have the same result for an end user.

I had a similar problem when I was making a tool processing a lot of data in the browser. I'd naively made a large array of identical objects each holding a bunch of fields with numbers.

Turns out, this works completely fine in Firefox. However, in Chrome, it produces millions of individual HeapNumber allocations (why is that a thing??) in addition to the objects and uses GBs of RAM, and is slow to access, making the whole thing unusable.

Replacing it with a SoA structure using TypedArray made it fast in both browsers and fixed the memory overhead in Chrome.

As someone more familiar with systems programming than web, the concept of creating individual heap allocations for a single double baffles me beyond belief. What were they thinking?

Why not get rid of this stupid title changer already? I don't get it.

> You're railing against other people's preferences, but presenting your personal preferences as fact.

It is a fact that motion is smoother at 120 fps than 24, and therefore easier to follow on screen. There are no preferences involved.

> Also, there are technical limitations in cameras that aren't present in video games.

Cameras capable of recording high quality footage at this refresh rate already exist and their cost is not meaningful compared to the full budget of a movie (and you can use it more than one time of course).

Release your movie in native 120 fps and I'll turn off motion interpolation. Until then, minor flickering artifacts when it fails to resolve motion, or minor haloing around edges of moving objects, are vastly preferable to unwatchable judder that I can't even interpret as motion sometimes.

Every PC gamer knows you need high frame rates for camera movement. It's ridiculous the movie industry is stuck at 24 like it's the stone age, only because of some boomers screaming of some "soap opera" effect they invented in their brains. I'd imagine most Gen Z people don't even know what a "soap opera" is supposed to be, I had to look it up the first time I saw someone say it.

My LG OLED G5 literally provides a better experience than going to the cinema, due to this.

I'm so glad 4k60 is being established as the standard on YouTube, where I watch most of my content now... it's just movies that are inexplicably stuck in the past...

Yeah, which is why I think it's important to draw a line between a frustrated user (has genuine issues with his use of the product, can be turned by fixing them), a casual troll (reposts some bad feedback because he thinks it's funny) and a hater (malicious, bad faith, communication not recommended)

You've not met a real hater if you think this, and should consider yourself very lucky. That was just a frustrated user.

A real hater will obsessively use your product, yet simultaneously attempt to find any reason whatsoever to hate your product (or you), no matter how small, and be extremely vocal about it, to the point of founding new communities centered on complaining about you. Should you address the issue, they will silently drop that one from their regularly posted complaints and find or invent a new one. Any communication you send to them will be purposefully misinterpreted and combined with half truths and turned against you.

Some of these people probably have genuine mental illnesses that makes them act like this.

You could achieve a similar sum by adding balances out of thin air to random bank accounts, which is comparable to what happened here.

I completely agree, this is perhaps the least sensible part of common English syntax.

   "Hello," he said.  
   "Hello", he said.

Only one of these makes actual sense as a hierarchical grammar, and it's not the commonly accepted one! If enough of us do it correctly perhaps we can change it.

Oh, indeed

So what's the christmas theme? Unless I'm blind, it looks the same as always, except the header color seems to have changed... slightly?

If your studio has enough resources that it could easily be its own publisher, the definition "independent from a publisher" is no longer of much use. It's also wrong: this project did have a publisher and various other investment in it.

The founders of this studio come from rich family backgrounds, to think they have anything in common with what the average person understands as an "indie game" developer is laughable. For example, they supposedly rented an office to work in, in a building owned by the founder's father's real estate firm, of course.

Projects like these used to be called AA games. It's a fantastic game, it doesn't have to be indie to be good.

The comments are often more interesting than the original articles.

This isn't even an indie game, with funding rivaling major studios, what are we doing?

I'm always a bit baffled by this project. While it's cool that he can create hundreds of hours of content for his puzzle game, does anyone actually want to play a single puzzle game for this long? Would it not be better to make a few different, shorter, higher quality experiences?

It's strange, because I would expect "maß" as the case insensitive search to match "MASS" in the search text, but "mass" should not match "Maß".

From a German user perspective, ICU and your fancy library are incorrect, actually. Mass is not a different casing of Maß, they are different characters. Google likely changed this because it didn't do what users wanted.

This seems like a bad idea. Surely the warranty and liability disclaimer found in licenses like MIT exists for a reason.

So many problems and more money could solve every one of them!

The only extensions I have installed are dark reader and ublock origin. Would be nice if I could disable auto updating for them somehow and run local pinned versions...

The number of video models that are worse than Wan 2.2 and can safely be ignored has increased by 1.

A better question is how is whatever the UK is doing relevant for 4chan, which is an American company with no presence in the UK.

I heard a possibly unsubstantiated rumor that they had a major failed training run with the video model and canceled the project.

Verse only supports single-threaded transactional memory. Epic hasn't yet demonstrated that their approach can actually scale to be used from multiple threads in a useful manner, though they claim that it will.

Can confirm, I have two VR headsets, and they're both collecting dust. Was a neat gimmick for a few days some years ago..

Seems these users are getting it on VS code, while I am getting the exact same thing when using claude code on a Linux server over SSH from Windows Terminal. At this point their app has to be the only thing in common?

> As though it would 1) be a practical possibility

Well that's kind of the thing. With AI it is. In theory, they can now monitor all of us at the same time on a scale never before thought possible. The time of "big brother has better things to do than monitor you specifically" is over.
