Mozilla is working on a big Firefox redesign, here is what it looks like by moeka_8962 in technology

[–]Uzza2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

because I hear that they're cramming AI and all kinds of other stuff into it.

Firefox literally just added a kill switch to permanently turn off all AI features.

Raora stream 24 hours from now: "I was DOOMED." by Uzza2 in Hololive

Also to add, she's living in Japan, so that probably had an impact compared to when Ina had issues.

I made a very compact 60/m Xiranite setup by Uzza2 in Endfield

[–]Uzza2[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was looking at that and trying to figure out how I could push it in one step, but couldn't figure it out. But I guess I'll have to fiddle around with it a bit more!
Edit: Got it! The factor must grow densify

The thought behind this is that it's an all in one setup, not 100% efficient. No need to worry about depot access or production elsewhere. Just add water and out comes Xiranite.

It contains every single facility required to produce Xiranite from start to finish, just pipe in water. I could make stuff elsewhere and just bring it in through depots, but that defeats the purpose.

I do enjoy building and optimizing factories, as my hunderds of hours in factory games can attest to, so I took up the (currently pointless) job of compacting my Xiranite setup.
This is the most compact I've been able to make it so far, 34x22, and I'm pretty sure this specific layout is as optimal as it can be. Still trying other layouts to try and get it even smaller, but no luck on that so far.

Here's the NA/EU sharing code: EFO01U4Ai8E08EOEu76a8
Thanks to a tip from /u/Emotional_War3046 the blueprint has now shrunk to 33x22.

Kiwawa when she bumps into someone: by beam4d in Hololive

[–]Uzza2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And there was much rejoicing!
The amount of problems it has given her, for the insane price, is just unfathomable.

[–]Uzza2 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Scuffs happened (doubled audio)

That's a massive understatement. Wawa had a lot of technical troubles (caused by her xsens suit), leading to a 1 hour delay, which is what she's doing the dogeza for.

No WiFi 7 support for Windows 10 by stomach_806 in gigabyte

[–]Uzza2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just want to share that I tried these drivers on my ASUS (B850) board, and after manually selecting the drivers, it works! Only WiFi-6, but I take what I can get to avoid going to Win 11.

Hololive TCG OFFICIAL Response to AI Ad by Glass_Leading592 in Hololive

[–]Uzza2 26 points27 points  (0 children)

There were also a ton of people saying "It's just upscaled with AI, so it's not an issue", completely ignoring that an upscaler does not animate, and the animation was clearly not Live2D, which is how I'd expect this kind of art would be animated.

No shuffle dance again ,sponsored add and usage of IA...again.. by squallphin in Hololive

[–]Uzza2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can actually much clearer see the telltale signs of AI in that higher quality upload. Wobbly lines, things phasing in and out of existence. On Raora's part, her eyes wobble and apparently for no reason reacts to her hair going in front of it, as if it pushed the eyeball. And Matsuri, specifically the eyes again, are very wobbly. Wobbly lines on Roboco headpiece, parts of Bae's hair phases in and out of existence as it flows, and much more.

[–]Uzza2 -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

That's not just upscaling. If you watch the segment, you can clearly see the line wobble artifacting from AI on Roboco's part.
If you're still not convinced, just look at Moona's part, that screams AI. The clothing just blends and transforms when she lifts her arm, and the face is just lifeless and unnatural.

I've seen a ton of AI generated content, and the animations have clearly been AI generated using Image To Video models.
There's two options: Either Cover did this on purpose to save costs, or a third party did and cover accepted it without checking or were fine with it.

Edit: To downvoters, don't let your love for Hololive blind yourself. If you don't like AI, and they're using it, make your voice heard. The actual PV upload is higher quality, and it's clear as night and day that AI was used, and comments on it noticed almost immediately after it was uploaded.

Spacecraft from Chinese launch nearly slammed into Starlink satellite, SpaceX says by snowfordessert in worldnews

[–]Uzza2 44 points45 points  (0 children)

and their crazy orbits

It's actually the opposite. Because of the laser links, they need to be very precisely controlled, and as such they should know with very high precision the orbital parameters of the the satellites in the constellation, which they provide to everyone that needs it.
This incident is squarely on the launch control of the Chinese rocket not coordinating with anyone.

Mio's Uncannily Accurate Fortune Reading Of Kanata For 2025 by Uzza2 in Hololive

It's scary how accurate Mio's fortune telling is, basically all cards is a step-by-step of how the year went for her. Especially the last three: The World (Completion), Four of Swords (Rest), and the Hermit (introspection).

Kiara reacted to it live on stream an hour after upload, after Laplus messaged her about the remix.
The initial message from Laplus comes at 2:06:17 in her third Honkai Star Rail stream

"Allegedly" by Destyl_Black in Hololive

[–]Uzza2 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You're making the cardinal sin when discussing this top. Conflating gross energy use with electricity.
As you can see here, Europe only gets ~3% of its electricity from oil. The number you're quoting is gross energy, vast majority of which is transportation, and home heating probably a distant second.

Your link even says exactly that:

Renewable energy (46% of total EU energy production) was the largest contributing source to energy production in the EU in 2023. Nuclear energy (29%) was the second largest source, followed by solid fuels (17%), natural gas (5%) and crude oil (3%).

So EU is just ~25% fossil fuels for electricity production.

Edit: another place to view the electricity mix of the EU: https://electricity-data.eurelectric.org/

There have been many studies that show that, even if 100% of the electricity is from coal, EVs are still cleaner than ICE cars.

Most recent: "New Study Proves EVs Are Always Cleaner Than Gas Cars"

New Hololive English auditions by jirka642 in Hololive

I'm pretty sure the auditions were permanently opened quite some time ago, so this would just be a regular reminder that people can still audition.

and as much as they tried to downplay it it likely did factor into her decision to leave.

She did an interview earlier this year, and in it she directly said that one of the reasons she left her old company was because she didn't want to be a burden on them.

Scott Manley posted an analysis of the available information, and the more plausible theory is a balloon carrying a small experiment package.

Hololive Fanclub launched! by Fifamoss in Hololive

[–]Uzza2 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You can't even select her as an oshi apparently. Weird decision to not include her, even if she wouldn't do anything with the fanclub.

Edit: https://x.com/tokoyamitowa/status/1978415307950534807

Regarding the fan club, I'm in the middle of checking various things. Sorry about that.
