The 4 kinds of news articles

Seems like a cool project I might try if valve doesn’t release a steam console soon

Ah ok, I didn’t catch that. Other articles were discussing v3’s training using only 2.8M GPU hours.

I will also say that this article is definitely feeding into the outrage. Most other articles just see it as a cinema rerelease in 4K and don’t mention the edits at all.

What would otherwise be an uninspired rerelease is now a culture war headline: “New ‘Encore Cut’ removes footage from original film”.

It should also be pretty obvious that this is following the usual Chinese MO of using massive state subsidies to destroy the international competition with impossibly low dumping prices. We are seeing this in all sorts of sectors.

In this case, DeepSeek is announcing the training time for their LLMl, which wall street is extrapolating costs from. No state aid involved.

I agree 100%, and I don’t support the idea to add/include those scenes to films. It wasn’t really a funny joke then when transphobia was prevalent, and it’s definitely not funny now when people are more aware about the existence and struggles of trans people, and reactionaries are trying to claw back towards hate.

I mean, George Lucas releases new cuts of his movies all the time. But it seems like it is just playing into the internet drama to have a new cinema release just for a new cut of the film that removes scenes.

Also, most 4K remasters are AI slop

That’s true. Ray tracing libraries and engines like UE5 are a lot easier to develop on than older engines.

But I’m not sure it’s such a simple comparison. 3d acceleration made games look better, and the weakest gpus didn’t make your fps tank afaik. Your average gpu these days will tank your FPS in ray tracing and cause awful visual artifacts, either from bad denoising algorithms, or from the upscalers used to hide the bad FPS and bad denoising.

This move reduces development costs, but given that the consumer doesn’t get any benefits from it, it’s hard not to have the cynical view that this is just greedy cost cutting on Microsoft’s part.

Microsoft getting me to buy this game requires me to care.

Not buying a new GPU for a new Doom game.

cool to see a Gui for falco

Very serious vulnerability. These systems likely haven’t been revised since the 80s or 90s.

yes, I run my matrix server 24/7. I’m not really the expert on this, but I believe the way federation works on matrix is that downtime means that users on that instance will not be able to see/write messages, but users on other messages will still be able to write messages, which will later be picked up by the crashed instance when it comes back up. Not sure how it affects rooms.

Not really. I mostly used Element, but I also tried fractal which seemed decent.

The tough thing is that the supported features are changing rapidly, so what might be a good client one year might be out of date the next year. I also had a lot of issues with Element randomly logging me out on my self-hosted server :/

I wish Matrix video calls worked better so it could take over

So does codeberg.org

I use NixOS for running multi-node k3s in my home environment
