excel is good, more people being able to automate their tasks is good. programmers only complain because they resent when their status as greasemonkeys is revealed having to write 10kloc of incredibly unsexy framework java to reimplement the thing some rockstar accountant knocked out in a bit of excel a decade ago.

graph posted:the only game from this era that actually deserves a remake. extremely underrated they'd have to invent half the game though, the hour of scrolling text filling in (like 40% of) the story they didn't have time to make would fly even worse today. it was extremely good though, so maybe that would be worth doing.

no one should have expected anything different. notably apples processors are fast by investing vast amounts of transistors on the best available processes in a fairly low number of cores. sun niagara was great for some workloads and this will be for similar ones, but for a computer on your desk you want strong single-thread.

the point of the anime ban is that it is a sad computer toucher stereotype, along with loving a bitcoin and thinking teaching everyone programming would solve all problems (also doing an ai or some such). which is against the point the point of yospos. also this is why smoka should get a pass, as a resident non-(pro)-computer-toucher

i've predicted it before and it keeps not happening, but i still think that movies is the vr experience that has a shot at actual mainstream. people already commit 2+ hours to fairly exclusive focus on a piece of media there, appreciate the visual spectacle, and there is a lot of promise for the medium letting the audience feel that they are themselves situated somewhere in scene with the freedom of looking around. biggest issues that borrowing headsets is nasty at least with current designs, and that it'd need a lot of artistic and cinematographic choices specific to the medium, and with movies being hugely expensive it is a question who'd make it.

Jim Silly-Balls posted:this exists today somewhat in the form of Bigscreen. you go into a virtual theatre with other people and you can watch movies, TV shows, whatever. it really pops when it’s a 3D movie of course, but 2D movies work fine. i think the potential difference between properly shot and directed vr films and simple baked 3d is gigantic though. i tried a demo at the arts/design campus last year which just dumped you into a crowd with a bunch of things going on, with both a full half-sphere of angular movement, and some limited parallax (stitched in some way, so you could spot errors if you worked on it a bit, but i suspect on a movie budget you could get that pretty perfect), and it was actually kind of amazing (though agoraphobia-inducing not least). we'll see, likely i'll keep being wrong, but as far as what i would be an enthusiastic consumer of myself i think that's where it is at.

Sweevo posted:it seems to be a weird legal blind spot in a lot of countries, probably because of how rare it is. often the best you can do is charge people under old (and often vague) morality laws for things like "mishandling a corpse". i think this is mostly a popular media thing though. i know for sure that a lot of things you can do to corpses are not *specifically* illegal here, but "brott mot griftefriden" (literally "crime against the peace of the grave") is a law which obviously covers all of it.

and let's be clear: being the problematic part of important machinery that lasts for 50 years otherwise is a failure on the computer side. very young bit of engineering, but we obviously can't keep replacing everything every 20 years, much less every 5.

Jim Silly-Balls posted:Cancelled Spotify because gently caress joe rogan, so whats the best alternative? I'm kinda torn between apple music and youtube music right now I'm leaning toward youtube because my understanding is it lets you play any video uploaded as music? one potential downside of youtube music is that joe rogan is on it.

Shifty gimbal posted:Yeah ok. Guy seems to be riding a little hard when he's stating that the API is fundamentally flawed if all that seems to be missing is that the collapse of the RGB channels into a single brightness channel needs to be altered to take into account different film profiles. he is saying that the model is fundamentally flawed in that it does not reconstruct images with any accuracy at all, it just adds colors meekly and mostly randomly. to some extent accuracy is a ridiculous expectation since the colors simply aren't there, you *have* to make them up, but he is then correct that the model systematically guesses "idk, greyish?" in a way more tuned to not be too visibly wrong than it is tuned to be an actual good guess.

picture was cool, recolorization is interesting, thanks for posting. the points brought up which i think both are good to keep in mind though: * the past is almost always more colorful than you expect, * in a surprise twist a supposedly objective ai model conforms more to our expectations than to objective reality.

yeah, i am not in much of a rush to get a vr headset, but i still expect there to be a more clear-cut allround best midrange option in the next 5 years that i am then likely to pick up just to screw around with a bit.

just recommended spirited away to some friends for their kids to see, the friends claimed that it would likely be too disturbing for them. i said "naaaaaah, what are you even talking about?", went home, rewatched it, and found it quite disturbing. extremely good, parftly because it is genuinely unsettling in many parts.

goddamnedtwisto posted:design brief - "protect from the vacuum of space but still show cleavage". i mean given jean-paul gaultier did the costume design, that's probably pretty restrained, like someone explained to him that pointy conical bras would be a puncture risk ultimately perfectly realistic. one can with some effort imagine an idealized future where human spaceflight is commonplace, but a future without sexism is simply not plausible.
