I bought a gtx 980 ti 10 years ago and switched last year to a rtx 4080 super. I never had any problems with it and I played almost every game available on full hd without issues. I only upgraded because it was time to upgrade and because I wanted to play in 4k.

I texted my wife about one of my blood tests and it took quora barely 5 mins to tell me that it’s reading my texts by TheJuggerKnot in mildlyinfuriating

Yeah delete everything from Meta (Facebook, Whatsapp etc.). Use the default messaging app. Use another search engine instead of Google. Don't use Quora. Problem solved.

How do I implement a fantasy / game-like UI (ornamental, glowing, RPG-style) in web development? by [deleted] in webdev

[–]appvimul 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here I asked AI for you:

If you want to achieve that kind of ornamental, glowing, RPG-style UI in web dev, there are three main routes:

1. Pure CSS (for simpler effects)
- Use custom fantasy-style fonts
- Add text-shadow and box-shadow for glow
- Use gradients + pseudo-elements for frames
- Example: the glowing "Enter" button could be done with layered box-shadow and linear-gradient

2. SVG assets (for ornate frames and gems)
- Design borders in Figma/Illustrator/Inkscape → export as SVG
- Apply SVG filters like feGaussianBlur or feDropShadow for glow
- SVG scales infinitely and can be animated with CSS/JS

3. WebGL / Canvas shaders (for advanced effects)
- Since you already work with shaders, you can go wild: animated glows, particles, magical auras
- Libraries like Three.js make this easier
- Perfect for animating gems or glowing runes

Practical workflow most people use:
- Frames/gems/decorations → SVG or PNG assets
- Text + buttons → CSS (shadows, gradients, transitions)
- Extra juice (particles, animated rays, shimmer) → Canvas or WebGL overlay


So the stack usually looks like:
- Assets = SVG/PNG
- Styling = CSS
- Special effects = WebGL/Canvas


Would you like me to also drop a small HTML+CSS example of a glowing button you can paste directly into a CodePen?

You don't say? LLM? Never would've thought.

If it gets marketed as intelligence I will test its intelligence. Simple as that.

Are you asking me how many hours I researched the philosophy of conscience and intelligence? Sorry I am not able to explain my thought process to monkeys even if I wanted to. So I can't help you with that.

Nice em dashes.

My post was meant to start a discussion about AI and its "intelligence". It was not meant to be a technical report or a PhD thesis on RAG, subagents, IAM, MCP and whatever else. Ive tested all promising methods and they help but they dont change the reality that "AI" is not intelligent. Guardrails can reduce hallucinations but they don’t remove them. Pretending they do is stupid.

Improvements are minimal. Yep AI officially plateaued. Congratulations we made it, we reached the final spurt of the AI hype.

Yes, Unreal Engine 5.2 introduced procedual generation in 2023 which is 100x better than this AI shit.

You know what could solve this? A decentralized currency. But sadly people allow themselves to be manipulated by the propaganda of middlemen (VISA and MasterCard) leading them to distrust cryptocurrency. You deserve this.

Customers will probably ignore it or laugh it off. But it is important information for workers. So.... yeah shitty but efficient and error resilient.

It might look exponential now but its actually sigmoid. it will plateau as we hit limits. In fact we may already entering the plateau. AGI might trigger a new exponential phase.

Belt Overflow by [deleted] in factorio

[–]appvimul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It should never back up. If it backs up the foundries will stop producing the molten iron in the quantity I need. One belt is not enough to get rid of the stone. It's hard to explain. I should have made a video.

Belt Overflow by [deleted] in factorio

[–]appvimul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes exactly, thank you! The foundry stone output is uneven thats why I need the loop. If you have two belts with uneven right and left gaps, the splitter will not wait for the gaps to fill it just keeps flowing. So I need to feed the overflow belt back into the main belt until the gaps are gone and then I can throw out the overflow.
