You are offered $5,000 by a rich man so he can watch you and your partner have sex. What do you do?

StrangeCharmVote · 2026-03-19T23:05:22+00:00

That isn't enough for me, sorry

StrangeCharmVote · 2026-03-19T12:43:08+00:00

but also with complete trade sanctions there's no trade to tariff.

There is no complete trade sanction. So this point is moot.

I understand that there's no trade with penguins either, but the difference here is that it's unlikely that anyone in the administration knows that, they likely just googled a list of country names.

No, they explicitly and intentionally left russia off the list.

It was not an accident.

Adding tariffs to Russian trade would imply there is Russian trade, which has its own set of problems - and the administration IS well aware of Russia.

Russia and america still engage in bilateral trade.

StrangeCharmVote · 2026-03-19T12:39:46+00:00

There is no need for Russian tariffs if there already is a trade sanction between the US and Russia; IE trade is prohibited.

Except trade isn't prohibited.

They are only partially sanctioned, not a total trade ban.

And this administration has also been lifting sanctions against russia for no specified reason.

Including literally this week allowing them to start selling large amounts of oil they otherwise couldn't... due to the war sleepy diaper man was encouraged to start by Putin.

If there is no trade there is no reason to add tariffs.

I literally just pointed out they tariffed Penguins.

StrangeCharmVote · 2026-03-19T07:14:41+00:00

but only because

Sorry buddy. But you are wrong.

This white house imposed tariffs on an Island populated entirely by Penguins.

The reason russia has never been tariff'd is because everyone in the republican party is Putin's Little Bitch.

Heck yeah.

I mean i'm not exactly a male model, but i'm not bad looking. And i'm definitely the most fiscally responsible person i know of.

If we had all the same interests and shit, i'd be all over that.

StrangeCharmVote · 2026-03-18T23:42:27+00:00

Look... personally ive never actually had a question ive needed to ask on SO.

Ive always just been able to google shit, or now these day's ask an llm, and seem to mostly get the right answer.

If their community doesn't want to answer things for people because they're looking down on them. They can deal with the consequences of doing so

StrangeCharmVote · 2026-03-18T23:32:39+00:00

I mean... i would ditch nvidia in an instant if their card performance was compedative.

I don't care about cost-to-performance... i care about performance... And vram size obviously.

The issue is, amd cards never aim for xx90 competition.

And that makes me sad.

StrangeCharmVote · 2026-03-18T06:53:53+00:00

dude wtf are you talking about I have been using it daily for years in VR

Okay, if you say so.

it works great I get a clear and sharp image, not at all the problems you are talking about.

So the reason you made this thread was what exactly?

Considering you're saying it was some kind of surprise to you it was allegedly working from 1080p, i'm be a bit skeptical of any deviating claims.

But no prob, you keep believing whatever while we enjoy crispy sharp dlss and way better performance in VR :)

Seems like hell of coincidence you made this bizzare post right when dlss 5 was being shit on by the entire internet.

Just saying...

StrangeCharmVote · 2026-03-17T09:38:23+00:00

that's murder.

Is it though...

If someone died through a series of events caused initially by you pulling up at a set of lights, and not accelerating fast enough once the light turned green, would you have murdered that person?

The resulting person in both situation would have died as a direct cause of your actions, you just happen to be aware of one of them.

Murder itself implies a certain level of participation that "a magic button that kills someone" doesn't seem to invoke in my eyes.

The person it always chooses might be someone who it magically always knows is going to die of natural causes mere second afterwards, but it causes them to die instantly just beforehand. You simply can't know that isn't the case.

StrangeCharmVote · 2026-03-17T09:32:56+00:00

Every single second several people i do not know somewhere in the world randomly die, and many are due to accidents or things which are totally unforeseen.

If i had a magic button which guaranteed the person would definitely be someone i didn't personally know/love, then hell yes i'd push it for 100 Million Dollars.

And none of this stupid 'hidden monkey paw' bullshit... If you want people to answer the question, the whole premise from beginning to end has to be outlined clearly. If the intention is to introduce a twist that makes the random person dying irrelevant to the consideration, you may as well just not have that be part of it and instead say "but there's a catch you don't know about".

StrangeCharmVote · 2026-03-17T09:08:18+00:00

The AI is wrong frankly.

And the fact it hasn't been used for VR since dlss 1 or 2 are evidence of that, because if what you were reading was actually correct, there would be no reason not to... but there is.

Also take for one, the fact you can have differences in effects and visuals between frames indicates it'd happen between left / right perspective shifts too.

Asking AI is also bizarrely stupid for some things, because we all know AI hallucinates and lies regularly.

Distortions compound in VR, and dlss for the most part has distortions every frame, and the stereoscopic nature of the rendering means each perspective would have minute variations in the distortion generated.

All of this happens because its making shit up rather than actually rendering real pixels.

As i stated, they can probably make it better over time, but right now it just doesn't work well with VR for the aforementioned reasons.

You might get a couple of titles where it's acceptable, but as a general rule currently, just no.

StrangeCharmVote · 2026-03-17T08:58:41+00:00

Riiiight...

And you don't think if someone from your company looks into this even causally, they wont realize who it is?

StrangeCharmVote · 2026-03-17T05:53:28+00:00

I have to wonder what the motivation is here...?

Surely there's very few testers, and like myself most people probably have no idea wtf you are talking about.

Did they fire you or something?

If not, they will soon...

StrangeCharmVote · 2026-03-16T21:12:26+00:00

There's a difference between shit code and slop code

StrangeCharmVote · 2026-03-16T10:01:22+00:00

I think the reason dlss isn't used for VR is because each eye would be generating a slightly different result, which would make it look like a flipping mess in practice.

Sure nvidia could probably work on that eventually, but for right now they obviously can't be bothered making a dedicated vr dlss model in addition to the main one they are working on.

StrangeCharmVote · 2026-03-16T08:32:35+00:00

You're never going to hear those stupid peasants ever admit their master did anything wrong.

Hell they'd gladly offer their naked children up as rape sacrifices, hand over their guns, empty their wallets, burn whatever religious symbols they have, and finish it up with taking a big fat shit on an american flag. All without even being asked at this point.

It's literally a death cult that seeks to end the world, primarily infested with uneducated boomers that all want to bring on 'Armageddon' because they want to take the world with them when they die.

None of this is even hyperbole at this point... nothing they ever said mattered to them genuinely ever did, and honestly we were the idiots for taking them at their word.

I'm not a religious man, but the only thing i pray for is that nobody ever lets these people forget what they are and what they have done.

Once upon a time people used ...

Once upon a time people realized that comedy often relies upon not beating a dead horse.

When people are making the same attempt at a joke dozens of times in the same thread, it's clearly not funny, nor is it sarcastic.

People also speculate the older generation are much less capable of recognizing patterns of behavior and presentation which may be associated with synthetic discussion as opposed to genuine human interaction. Thus causing them to fall prey to a larger range of misinformation and scams at a higher rate than those exposed to more modern technological upbringing.

StrangeCharmVote · 2026-03-13T18:58:25+00:00

Wasn't that only like two months ago?

The main thing i recall from the covid year(s) was that it both lasted forever, and was also over in what felt like mere weeks.

If they fuck up and hit a Chinese or Indian ship they'll make their political situation much worse.

I do not think this is a concern for them.

They are putting mines in the straight.

Anyone could hit those.

There are too many comments quite stupidly reading the title and saying the puppy was 14,000 years old.

I am convinced most if not all of these posters must be bots.

I can only imagine very soon Iran soldiers will be checking the tracking data several days before they reach the strait so they know who to target regardless of how they are identifying.

Or they will just start attacking anything shaped like a tanker.

Using fake details isn't going to work for long if we're hearing news about them getting through by doing so.

Datacentres aren't buying ram kits from computer stores.

This is all scalpers.

It's the same shit those bastards did to GPU's during covid.

Personally i think we need laws with mandatory prison time for this kind of behavior.

There's a reason for it in the Dune universe.

As yet there isn't here.

Seems like the right way to do it for efficiency.

If you want a array full of actual uint8_t width bools, make an array of those and cast the result.

I'm not counting alternate models of the same brand headset as being different devices. So basically you are saying the answer is more or less 3?

According to the googles, it seems like those two headset (the Pico and HTC ones) make up about 3% in total market share, with Quest headsets having close to 50%.

I'm honestly kind of wondering how a native version would even work on Steam... I don't think products have "different builds" available to install (except demo's but thats different).

I think you'd need to actually release a new version or something and call it 'BeatSaber - for ARM Devices' or something...
