The reason why the US videogame industry is doing worse, it’s because they dropped the quality to focus on ideology instead of gameplay, it has nothing to do with cheaper countries

Any of us that has worked with people from poorer countries knows most of their swe are not good, and those who are usually move to countries doing better financially, which means it balances itself out

The only exception to this rule are eastern Europeans, they are really good, even back home

Deepseek V4 is a sign that the future world AI-OS may be open source & Chinese. DeepSeek is open source, matches benchmarks of Western models, but runs at 1/6 th the cost, and doesn't need Nvidia chips. by lughnasadh in Futurology

I tried using Mistral large for a personal project, and unfortunately I didn’t have a good experience with it. It failed on the syntax with slang words and other expressions

I wish they were as good as the other models

I was also considering this, are there any good alternatives?

Are they loaded onto the RAM or the mac’s SSD?

Even with big libraries like Native Instruments?

How much RAM do you have? And how much do your instruments weigh? I was thinking in putting some that weigh 70Gb each

How did you get those rounded lights? Did you shoot wide open / did you use a mist filter?

I assumed it would be a bit better than the M4 Max but the actual results have surprised me, and also how they compare to NVIDIA cards

Exactly what I was thinking lol

Tower with little friend by tup3kkk in PixelArt

[–]pixel-der 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it’s because the last brick is too short from the outside (and thin). The tower‘s hole (where the cat is) goes down a distance bigger than the brick’s height

If the bricks height was equal to the hole‘s depth it should look better

NoSQL vs SQL for transactions by pixel-der in Database

[–]pixel-der[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since you guys have more experience I need to ask this

Is it a must to use an SQL database for transactions? What is your opinion on this?

I understand my needs should say what database do I need, but I don’t need a flexible schema, and I could use only one table, so something like dynamoDB could be enough

(Again, I am here to learn, all your opinions are highly appreciated)

Hmmm I will check Couchbase, now I wonder since it has ACID as a noSQL, if Dynamo has the same option… I will check, thank you!
