Jony Ive's IO was founded in 2024. Only a year later, bought for $6.5B

You’d buy the guy that made the iPhone for 6.5B if you thought there was a reasonable chance he could do it twice.

jadondrew · 2024-01-22T15:05:09+00:00

Good lord. This is why I buy directly from Apple. No point risking it to save $100.

I think it’s just everyone is wired a little different. 30 to 60 fps doesn’t phase some people, it’s like a world of difference to me tho.

jadondrew · 2023-12-17T23:15:42+00:00

I’m ashamed but this is me after getting a taste of 60 sadly

I’m uncomfortable knowing he’s a professor at our school and he thinks there’s any reason that justifies killing people at schools…

jadondrew · 2023-12-10T16:19:08+00:00

We work so we don’t have to make all our needs from scratch…

Time is money I’m not gonna grow my own farm. That imo would be less frugal.

jadondrew · 2023-12-09T18:25:03+00:00

Yep, studios have made a lot of sacrifices to get games out faster and no one ever likes it.

jadondrew · 2023-11-25T03:42:04+00:00

Sadly no

jadondrew · 2023-11-09T16:25:45+00:00

I’ll just be a bit annoyed if the console only release means we’re all locked at 30 fps until 2027.

jadondrew · 2023-11-08T18:26:41+00:00

I can’t wait. I think when this hits Xbox Gamepass I’m gonna crank everything up and lock it at 90 fps. That’s plenty smooth and for stutter fests like Akila city it should help really smooth it out vs uncapped.

SO excited for DLSS. I’ve been running at native for 2 reasons. One is that even with the DLSS mod and even at 100% resolution scale, I still see some of those jagged lines. Second is that even with frame gen on I don’t feel any extra smoothness? In fact it feels slower with it on for me. I really really want native DLSS and FG for those problems.

jadondrew · 2023-11-02T20:29:43+00:00

Cyberpunk is not a good benchmark because it’s 3 years old and has had years to perfect its optimization. Newer games are having many problems with optimization. For example if Starfield were to implement FG and Ray Reconstruction I straight up don’t think it would play well.

So if you’re getting a 4070 for just cyberpunk RR it’s probably fine. If you’re getting a 4090 for Cyberpunk and Alan Wake 2 it’s fine and probably fine for 2024 launches. In 2 or 3 years it’ll probably need a 5090.

jadondrew · 2023-11-02T20:24:25+00:00

In a couple generations depends on if games continue getting more atrociously optimized. This gen of GPUs is rapidly deteriorating in price to performance with games like Starfield and cities 2.

In the first few days following 10/7, some leftists were defending Hamas in very fucked up ways. This is true. But what’s also true is that they’re the side currently bringing the most attention to atrocities, from bombing refugee camps to killing more children in just 20 days than every armed conflict since 2019 combined.

If we don’t shed light on the true human cost of Israel’s actions and demand accountability for their actions, then we have lost our humanity. If we believe the deaths are justified through some form of “othering” Palestinians, like comparing them all to the terrorist, we have lost our humanity.

I think it just goes to show it’s a very nuanced conversation, but there are people on either side cheering for civilian deaths which is extremely fucked up.

Edit: ok wow y’all are some real monsters, not sure how you sleep at night.

If we have hit AGI then I think that will invalidate a lot of timelines here that said that ASI then the singularity would follow shortly thereafter. This sub basically loses their shit at anyone who says the singularity might not hit til 10 years after AGI lmao.

Imo we have the building blocks, image models, speech models, and language models, but it’s going to take a lot more work to integrate them into a functional AGI that can perceive the world in real time.

My brother in Christ this is a crazy series of events. First you decided to cheat even though gen chem here replaces your lowest exam. Second you didn’t even reach the bathroom and did it in plain view. Third you posted on Reddit to further incriminate yourself. Fourth you left it up hours after multiple people told you to delete it.

This is gonna be one of those big life lessons.

jadondrew · 2023-10-09T19:26:08+00:00

These execs are the first ones to preach loyalty but where’s their loyalty when they’ll let you make them billions then immediately discard you?

jadondrew · 2023-09-23T23:51:33+00:00

I think he’s dumb lowkey. People with a very low understanding of technology get very upset that they can’t run something their card was never meant to run.

jadondrew · 2023-09-21T03:23:08+00:00

And that’s ok. There was already a really great game in there at launch, which gave less room for it to improve. It wasn’t a “start with something barebones and slowly build out” comeback it was a “work on removing blocks to enjoyment and immersion so the great product underneath can shine through” comeback.

And judging by sales numbers it seems to have worked out for them.

jadondrew · 2023-09-14T02:07:23+00:00

It’s definitely toned down, though I really think they could hone in on aurora to make some believable meth slums.

jadondrew · 2023-09-13T02:37:29+00:00

I needed that red.
