Outside trained images or objects, Hunyuan falls apart pretty hard.

Out of 30 objects I tried, only 4 had relative success. And even then, the topo ain't great.

Look at SSD prices over the last 6 months. https://pcpartpicker.com/trends/price/internal-hard-drive/

Depends on the definition of "nice". Is it time or pay?

And knowing these little tricks to get what you want with image generation models also takes time. Not to mention you need some knowledge on some other software just to make the underlying layout.

Brother, it is a simple email to a mailing list.

They are professional security researchers, they must know this is the way it is done in the ecosystem.

Kicking the can around leads nowhere.

Strix Halo TDP is significantly lower. Comparing apples to oranges, really.

> Such a weird foundation for a project. Tons of hype but not a lot of successful games relative to usage.

Road to Vostok. Dev jumped the Unity ship and remade the game in Godot, seems to have gone pretty well.

> I've got some web applications I wrote that run perfectly on the MQ3, especially after I got target sizes up to WCAG AAA level and it is fun to put the headset on and crash out on the couch and get things done

One way to have better text in VR for 2D content is to make use of OpenXR composition layers:

Don't worry, not Unreal specific. Hope it helps you out!

> SDL isn't a that relevant project

Unreal 5 uses SDL to be able to create "windows" in a cross platform manner (specific use case, but not just a thing on Linux [1]). Many others do as well.

Would like to add Vox is nowhere near the other's popularity, and has received substantial donations from... Hungary. A total of 6.5 million euros during the 2023 elections.

The author of the article is not from the US, and is talking about a Slovenian alternative to Cloudflare.

Either way, we are on the internet. Pretty international stuff.

Eh, I think its just that the infrastructure rewards having a car and not bikes. I thought the same before, only after experiencing for years the small things that make it possible, have I come around to it.

The little Honda City/Today with its trunk scooter from the 80's was ahead of its time, really. Its a path one should look at in large metropolitan areas. With electric bikes, even cities with large elevation deltas have a chance nowadays.

Hell, you can see it too in the latest F1 movie.

Shots in which the base plate was taken from live footage (crews trained in filming the sport) are stable and show all the action. Shots from Hollywood camera crews can barely keep up.

One may say this is a bad comparison point, and that it was an artistic choice, but I call bullshit on that. So much of the movie was based upon live footage that the ones that didn't just look amateurish.

And yet, both crews are professionals. It is difficult to film these things well.

Hopefully such automation also covers fixing instead of giving open source devs headaches, like the one over some obscure codec from the 90's.

Nevertheless, attacking is a targeted endeavour, unlike defense. Fixing is, in _general_, more difficult in theory.

* reference to past google and ffmpeg incident

I use krita, adobe substance 2024, blender and whatever other software. Professionally.

When I hear these arguments I just think these people are simply chained.

You really shouldn't trust ventoy.

Hell you still find explosives from WW2 all over. It really is difficult.

Isn't cross language function calling expensive? I assume it is significant.

Honestly same thing, taxis seem to be polite and up to have a chat about anything here. So, not that hyped about these things really.

> There's a common thread that the EU is some awful unaccountable organisation. This tends to mainly come from the US. It's also the line pushed by Russian propaganda for the last 15 years.

Not sure about the US, haven't seen such sentiment much. But from Russia? Yup, lots of EU skeptic parties have ties to Putin or Russia.

Classic divide and conquer.

I believe, as an european, that isn't much of a concern. We are very coupled to one another, plenty have family ties with other european citizens, share similar languages within immediate neighbours, and are culturally similar. Even religion is mostly shared. Of course, each has its own identity, not saying this isn't the case.

But without unity each one of us would just be yet another small country with a declining population, unity gives us strength.

The US leadership today thinks they are powerful enough by themselves. Quite a different perspective. Hence why sovereignty there seems to have a more patriotic meaning. I'm sure the states themselves still see the value of collaborating between themselves however.

Well, we live in extraordinary circumstances today. A $40 kit (Patriot Viper Venom DDR5-6000 C36 16GB) is now $199. And that is the cheapest DDR5 I saw. With this year's news of even more allocation towards data centres, Micron exiting the consumer market, and the current inertia of things, I think it will take quite some time for us to see prices back to as they were.

GTA VI by itself will make about 30 googles of money and then T2 stocks go to the moon. These people only react on a minute by minute basis, what can one expect?

Even T2's CEO doesn't dare tell Rockstar what to do (said it himself), they deliver everytime and make him all the money he wants.

Still, the market reaction seems hasty and hype driven. A bit wild their stocks got impacted this much. But I guess the market has short term memory.

But, I do agree a lot of things could be sped up. Animation and photogrammetry based modelling (widely used for character's clothing) come to mind. And, it should be used in cases such as these, where it is just a tool. Nothing more, nothing less.

> ... It won't be too long before phones are running AI models with performance equal to or better than current frontier models running on $100 million dollar clusters.

Maybe, perhaps phones will have the compute power... But not enough memory. If things continue the way they are, that is. Great for AI firms, they'll have their moat.

Games are usually created from the beginning with cross-platform in mind. So, not as coupled.

> That's probably because we have yet to discover any universal moral standards.

Actively engaging in immoral behaviour shouldn't be rewarded. Given this perrogative, standards such as: Be kind to your kin, are universally accepted, as far as I'm aware.

Mostly an US audience here. A deeply divided country on politics. The wording doesn't help matters either.

It's unfortunate the same division tactics the US has been facing are working elsewhere too, however.

The euro has been gaining ground ever since the financial crisis in terms of share of currencies held in global foreign exchange reserves. Less than a third of the US dollar, but still a distant second. Nevertheless, I'm still concerned about the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and how intertwined the EU economy is to countries which it has shaky relations with at best.
