Japanese actor Hiroyuki Sanada spoke about the contradictions of human nature: “Some people dream of having a swimming pool at home, while those who have one hardly ever use it. Those who have lost a loved one feel a profound sense of loss, while others often complain about their living relatives. Those without a partner long for one, while those who have one often don't appreciate it. The hungry would give anything for a meal, while the satiated complain about the taste of their food. Those without a car dream of owning one, while those who have a car are always looking for a better one.” The key to happiness is gratitude: truly seeing and appreciating what we already have, and understanding that somewhere, someone would give anything for what we take for granted.

@PrinceofTahoe @GavinNewsom I wish everyone was smart enough to have opinions on two unrelated things simultaneously, but here we are

@GavinNewsom Please keep lecturing us on spending:

$200 BILLION IS ENOUGH TO: - Double the annual per‑person spending on K–12 education. - Expand the ACA tax credit for 7 years. - Provide up to 2 million people the SNAP benefits they need. - Provide a middle class tax break of $3,500. Instead, we will spend it on an illegal war. This is only the beginning. More money will be wasted. More lives will be lost.

@oliemack Currently only applicable for: - Hyper-realistic art styles (fraction of games) - People with nearly-unobtainable GPUs (fraction of players) Interesting to see how this all develops, though.

Here's some of the DLSS 5 material we saw in the demos but didn't get a chance to film. Here I think you can see the strengths of DLSS 5 - reflections become much more attractive. Starfield doesn't have great lighting to begin with, so the differences can be profound.

Can’t believe a country would pour money into their military rather than care for their own people. Anyway time to check my gofundme page for my dentist visit

@rohanpaul_ai How the does judgement go away when people start using new tools? Where do these dudes get their talking points? Talk about bad judgement.

Chamath on how AI agents are making the "10x engineer" distinction disappear because the most efficient "code paths" are now obvious to everyone. Just as AI solved chess and removed the mystery of the best move, AI is doing the same for coding, making the process reductive and removing technical differentiation. "I'm going to say something controversial: I don't think developers anymore have good judgment. Developers get to the answer, or they don't get to the answer, and that's what agents have done. The 10x engineer used to have better judgment than the 1x engineer, but by making everybody a 10x engineer, you're taking judgment away. You're taking code paths that are now obvious and making them available to everybody. It's effectively like what happened in chess: an AI created a solver so everybody understood the most efficient path in every single spot to do the most EV-positive (expected value positive) thing. Coding is very similar in that way; you can reduce it and view it very reductively, so there is no differentiation in code." --- From @theallinpod YT channel (link in comment)

This is asinine. First of all, this dude doesn't get to decide what percentage of everyone's salaries he should get. The free market decides what his services are worth. Secondly, this is just as ridiculous as measuring programmer value by LOC, which as we all know, is absurd.

@TFTC21 Translation: "If all of your engineers aren't giving me 1/3rd of what you're paying them, you need to give me more money"

Jensen Huang: "If that $500,000 engineer did not consume at least $250,000 worth of tokens, I am going to be deeply alarmed. This is no different than a chip designer who says 'I'm just going to use paper and pencil. I don't think I'm going to need any CAD tools.'"

@gleb_alexandrov You don't really move your head around when playing in front of a monitor. It's cool, just very niche.

How this technology hasn't yet made its way into mainstream games? In some ways its WAY more accessible vr.

Crooks and warmongers

@anammostarac This is a really strange thing to root for

Eventually, content from humans will be considered the slop.

@Hogdale_ Did you watch the game, or no?

Glad that we can pencil in that the Padres hate America

@BillShaikin Breaking: Dodger media blames Padres for everything. Again. Actual data to back claims is coming, probably.

The big hit? The WBC. Still looking for that big hit? Team USA. Also: -How did the Padres sabotage USA (while playing by the rules)? -How Japan was represented at a game in which it did not play -Run it back with this manager & these players at LA28? latimes.com/sports/dodgers…

Dang, crazy, I thought this was gonna hit

@ninabadinaof4 @lsferguson @Blackhawks7815 You forgot the part where Bondi cashes her check

@lsferguson @Blackhawks7815 So sick of it

I suspect our entire almost 40 trillion dollar national debt is due to fraud. I actually suspect the amount stolen from us is way higher. We are being robbed blind and absolutely nothing is done about it

@GameDevMicah For sure, once you factor in RT or inference the whole comparison changes

@billassault Ya I don’t even this this 5060ti 16 i just got will really hold its own against the 1080ti… but I didn’t get it for that, nvidia now an LLM engine, so I got it for that 🤢

RTX 3060 is basically an RTX 2070 🗑️

@ParkerSligting @steveruizok True. The challenging thing for people relying on agents for everything will be to maintain that knowledge.

@steveruizok I bet you still have them too. You don't lose your knowledge and now it just makes you that much better at verifying the agent is doing what its told.

It does bother me that it costs money to code now

@steveruizok Worse than the cost is the fact that, if you're not careful, you could end up having to pay a random weird dude to let you code.

@GameDevMicah I forgot how bad it was, but there's a reason I spent a little more on a 3070 at the time. Both were expensive because the crypto douchebags were in full force at the time.

@GameDevMicah Worse! According to benchmarks, a 1080 Ti is ~9% more powerful than an RTX 3060 in raw performance. The 1080 Ti was a beast for its time
