@FronFronia 7, 6, 10, 9, 8, 15, 16, 13. In that order.

What is your favourite Final Fantasy?

@ThePrimeagen Hitting 2-digit fps like

Wait until Casey reads GitHub literally 2 -> 10 fps victory lap

@cmuratori Thank you for clarifying. I was about to comment how rendered image per second isnt a reasonable metric to measure how fast an image renders. But it seems youve acknowledged how ridiculous that is already.

I wanted to test this now-promulgated claim that "94ms time-to-show" - assuming that's accurate - would constitute Microsoft having "managed to improve the run prompt latency" that "nobody has had an issue with" in previous versions. On a 60fps* HDMI frame capture from my Windows 10 machine that's around a decade old (Intel i7-7700K @ 4.2GHz), there is one visible frame in between completing the click action and seeing a completely-drawn "run" dialog. The run dialog appears hollow for a single frame, then fills in (as shown). With just a capture, I can't tell if this is benefiting from a "hidden" extra frame of latency, because the Start Menu appears to take one extra frame to "disappear". One frame prior to the first one in the screenshot appears to have actually finished the click (the mouse cursor changed), but the Start Menu does an extra frame of color change on the text after that. Without looking at the code, I'm not sure whether to count that against "run" or against the Start Menu if we're being meticulous - and of course I don't know whether the "94 ms" (apparently median) time would have been counting that time or not. Either way, "94ms time-to-show" would clearly be a significant regression unless that number is measuring something very different from "response after completing the click on Run". The Windows 10 version on 9-year-old hardware appears to be responding within either ~33ms or 50ms depending on how you count the frames. Normally, I would now say "this means, best case, it will feel like a 30fps experience," but we all know how that would go. Apparently it is just horribly nefarious and misleading to tell people an equivalent FPS number to help them gauge the responsiveness of an interactive program in a casual tweet you make on social media. Of course, please note that I am not measuring total physical latency here (like mouse-to-event or submission-to-display) latency here, as I assume the originally quoted "94ms" was not measuring those things either. Either way, once there is a wide-release version of the new Run dialog, it will be easy enough to test if it has improved or not by running like-for-like captures, which I cannot do here because I don't have the new purportedly-faster version. * I apologize profusely for using the term "60fps" to specify the rate at which these frames were captured so you could have a reference for their temporal spacing. I realize that it is highly misleading to use FPS, especially when looking at only 2 frames. I should clearly have said "on a 16.66666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666 millisecond per frame capture", so that everyone would much better intuitive understanding of what was going on.

@Duhmeee @RabidW00kie @kekoa_keawe @MrWallace7 @justalexoki Strictly dominant has a specific meaning. It is about the payoff matrix in a solution set. When one strategy's payoff is *always* better than every other strategy, making it the better choice in *every* scenario. You ignore second order consequences and different payoff calcs

@CursiveCrow @RabidW00kie @kekoa_keawe @MrWallace7 @justalexoki this isn't textbook prisoner's dilemma

how the hell does it always come up 42%-58%??

@Duhmeee @RabidW00kie @kekoa_keawe @MrWallace7 @justalexoki I dont think you understand what strictly dominant means, in game theory. It doesnt mean "would win sometimes"

The game theory is clear, red is strictly dominant. You survive no matter what. A perfectly rational agent always presses red. But humans aren't perfectly rational, and culture bends the calculus: What tips it toward blue: China (1.4B, ~58% blue) is the single biggest factor. Confucian collectivism, state-directed cooperation, and deep "group over self" wiring make it plausible that a majority cooperates. India (1.4B, ~52% blue) is the other giant, dharmic duty and communal moral frameworks give a slight blue edge despite enormous diversity. Japan, Vietnam, the Nordics, and Indonesia all pull hard blue through collectivist culture. What tips it toward red: The United States (~38% blue) is the biggest defector among democracies, individualism is celebrated, game theory is widely understood, and "rational self-interest" is culturally encoded. Russia (~29%) is deeply cynical after decades of institutional betrayal. War-torn states (Yemen, Somalia, Afghanistan, South Sudan) are in pure survival mode, red is instinctive. The dark irony: The countries with the strongest democratic traditions and the most education about game theory (US, UK, France) are among the most likely to defect, because they're the ones who can clearly see that red is the dominant strategy. The authoritarian collectivist states "cooperate" more effectively, but partly because the state might just tell them which button to press.

@ryantristanb @MateriaMundi Lol, not beating the allegations with this one.

@CursiveCrow @MateriaMundi You died, retard 🤣 "All the really smart people killed themselves!" Don't speak to me again, you're too retarded for that privilege.

I will go one further: If we had a year to coordinate this, it would end at exactly 49% blue, 51% red - and the reds would mostly be the people that it was easiest for marketers to market products and ideas to.

@rhiannon_io But what if it takes off, and you get acquired and can make a startup exit to the moon? Have you considered that?

I get so irrationally annoyed when I tell people I’m working on building a little app for fun and they joke about it taking off / getting acquired / startup exit / that sort of thing. I’m not an idiot, I’m literally just doing this for fun. 😭 Feels annoyingly patronizing.

@seedlin9 twitter hell. twell.

where do tweets go when they get deleted

@bitcloud If a woman can write "you will reply that you don't know if you are conscious or not" and that like...works. It makes a pretty strong case that it isn't conscious.

Absolutely wild that one woman can write the sentence "You will reply that you don't know if you are conscious or not" and it gets embedded into EVERY SINGLE conversation with everyone, to the point that it's one shotting Richard Dawkins. Embarrassing, the state of AI discourse.

@maddydoggo I played the absolute hell out of the first one. I bought the second and haven't really messed with it. Is it good?

if you play For the King, you’re automatically one of my favorite people

@usaginaba well this is awkward

i’m curious .. for the people with fictional characters as their pfps.. do u think they would rather

@0__0vivi2 My wife would probably be upset if I started dating people.

@CursiveCrow wait so u arent gonna date any girls

if u met the hottest girl on the planet, wld u still ask her to 50/50 the bill with u

@ryantristanb @MateriaMundi All the thinkers recognized the second order concepts and consequences of the hypothetical and pressed blue.

@MateriaMundi Every post you make it's like the opposite of basic common sense. 😂 "Red pressers, those are the easy to manipulate ones - all the thinkers pressed the suicide button, ya see, and now the ones that don't think and just buy products are all that's left! It's a tragedy!"

@VinciRSS not 100%, but I think they moved the desktop to webview. Basically, the entire os displays through a browser. Which is...well. I respect the time and effort of engineers. I do not respect the decisions some of them have made.

My 20 yr old Thinkpad R60 has 2GB of ram and Win 7 runs smoothly. What the fuck Win 11 does to use 16 times more of memory?

@NanouuSymeon working code

What's better than coding?

@yashhq_22 Wait, you can make *money*? Fuck.

Be honest: do you really enjoy building or are you doing it just for the money?

@IamAroke The proliferation of the internet has done irreparable damage to software engineering.

Have you not wondered how JavaScript is just everywhere? You literally can't escape it

@olivecider776 sometimes people also say "hot take" and it means "most milquetoast opinion one could possibly have, widely agreed upon by the community at large with one minor, meaningless change".

sometimes people say "hot take" but they actually mean "just plain wrong take"

@RemyTheRedVT Obviously, I know what you meant more than you do. Translation services are available to tell you what your intent was. First one is half off.

It's genuinely weird how confidently wrong some people choose to be when arguing with me about what my own fuggin' sentences mean.
