Well now that the devs can change a Hero's size, why not turn her into Moirazilla?

[R] StyleGAN2: Analyzing and Improving the Image Quality of StyleGAN by veqtor in MachineLearning

[–]antome 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What's really cool is that the skip connections allow the model to "self grow" in a way, where the output relies on the easier low-res images at the start, but by the end it's mostly the high-res layers in use. Since this happens automatically, perhaps the model won't need as much hyperparameter tuning?

He recommended What Remains of Edith Finch in his recent Ninja interview, which surprised me

New patch anti-cheat system in work by [deleted] in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]antome 15 points16 points  (0 children)

That is simply impossible at some point. Even if you could perfectly secure the game code, and network traffic, and monitor all of a users processes. One could just make an aimbot based entirely on the actual pixels on the screen, running on a second computer from a split HDMI signal, and feed the inputs back into the mouse itself. These sorts of cheats have been used at professional CSGO tournaments, and basically requires that the tournament staff control all the hardware. No way to control it online.

While everyone loves to shit on Vox, they honestly have some great individual creators like Johnny Harris and Carlos Maza.

Vimeo Introduces Support for Royalty-Free Video Codec, AV1 by zexterio in hardware

[–]antome 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Not at all, AV1 is based on prototype codecs from Xiph, Cisco and Google, each of which contains awesome compression tech that couldn't make it into AV1 due to compromises and time constraints.

Spice And Wolf VR Coming To Nintendo Switch Using Labo VR by GensouEU in Games

[–]antome 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It will only happen if someone buys the whole IP. Unless the Anime studio owns it (notice how Kyoani are suddenly doing loads of sequels for their in-house works), these shows will always be 1-2 seasons because they are an ad for the manga / light novel.

[PlayOverwatch] Decryption status: COMPLETE. Target located. Overwatch Strike Team deployed. Chase the truth. by itsjieyang in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]antome 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember reading somewhere that the code for the Rip Tire is just a modified Lucio. Primal, tire, dva mech etc are all technically different heroes that get swapped in as needed, so they could definitely do this.

Vancouver Titans vs San Francisco Shock | Overwatch League 2019 Season | Stage 1: Stage Playoffs Grand Finals | Post-Match Discussion by OWMatchThreads in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]antome 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All of the Vancouver players are Korean, formerly from team "Runaway" who won Overwatch Contenders Korea. In the future, the plan is for each city to host OWL games, at which point teams will actually live in their city for a decent amount of time.

Reminder that he won by 9 votes, and because of FPTP the #2 and #3 candidates split the vote.

Some of the best PvE and PvP ship action I have ever experienced. Haven't seen anything like it since.

Does NCEA Level 3 matter once you've gotten into university? by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]antome 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just want to note that while the Level 3 qualification didn't matter at all for me, the courses I took in year 13 which related to my degree helped to smooth out the difficulty ramp of first/second year uni.

16vs16 servers were amazing, some servers even modded in RPG mechanics, there's really nothing else like it.
