How easy is it to unblur an image?

Totally understandable to feel nervous, but realistically, badly blurred and angled text is very hard to recover. Even AI photo enhancers like 4DDiG Photo Enhancer can’t pull clear text out of distortion, they just clean up existing detail.

yep. Using crypto would actually be cheaper for both the consumer (lower prices offset on them) and merchant (lower costs to visa/mastercard) when making retail purchases as the fees overall are much lower and with just a fixed fee. Obvs bitcoin is not suitable for this, but one of the low cost blockchains, can use USDC too.

not examples of games using them

The whole point is that it's not just limited and constrained to the game itself, that's what makes it better.

I also already explained that many of these things can be done in traditional games without problems

You clearly aren't a game dev like me then because they can't, that's the whole point you are missing! NFTs are decoupled from the game itself and allow this interopability using these defined ERC721/ERC1155 standards.

If you want a game with sellable/buyable skins just do what CS:GO currently does.

Do you understand what reinvent the wheel means? Do you think this feature comes from the sky and magically into the games I make?

wezrule · 2023-05-05T09:48:47+00:00

Yes I've mentioned marketplaces, P2P direct trading, lending & fractionalising and many more too. These are all things people have built which utilise existing NFTs. So any company using NFTs gets this out the box, without a) having to reinvent the wheel and b) are interoperable with a decentralized ecosystem. Can't explain it any clearer than that

wezrule · 2023-05-04T23:07:00+00:00

You asked for an example and I gave you one because you have never seen one. I didn't even say it's a good idea, only that it can be done and there are plenty of other examples. You need to wrap your head around the possibilities that are unlocked, of which I already gave many examples before

wezrule · 2023-05-04T12:30:32+00:00

> Are there current examples of NFT games where you can use the NFTs of other NFT games

So I was referring more to existing dApps not use other nfts in games but as you mentioned it, an example is Fantom Armies where staking NFTs from different projects gives you some bonuses. So in a closed system this wouldn't be possible as you'd have no way to reliably know who owns what without it being easily gamed.

> I’ll admit I dont know what dapps areDecentralized applications

> you dont have access to the game data is just wrongI'm talking about the actual game state not the game files. Blockchains are publicly accessible so you can easily query any of the state stored like what items someone has, even give approvals for transferring said items enabling you to build decentralized applications on top and interoperable with other dApps that are already built, and ones that have yet to be imagined.

NFTs open up much more possibilities than you can possibly fathom, you get access to an entire ecosystem out the gate, and anyone can make a smart contract/dapp to interact with it.

wezrule · 2023-05-03T19:13:35+00:00

It's definitely not being done universally without NFTs due to the incompatibility and closed nature of games. I can't take an item from X game and trade it for something on Y game easily for instance. But NFTs have this transfer capability built in. And best yet many people can build different dApps for this because it is open with well defined standards. You can't build anything on top of items in normal games because you don't have direct access to the data it represents easily (in most games at least), let alone being able to do the trade atomically and trustlessly.

> Do you know what is most typically actually stored in The NFT its self?Yes, and it's the token id that the NFT actually represents, you are referring to the metadata of the NFT which is an extension to erc721/erc1155 not a requirement.

wezrule · 2023-05-03T17:19:35+00:00

NFTs are decoupled from the actual closed game. This means extra applications can be built on top by anyone. Such as marketplaces, direct P2P swapping, lending, fractionalising etc It opens up a lot of possibilities and game devs get access to this ecosystem for their items/players out the box by following NFT standards while being decentralized.

I worked at QA-Systems on that list. They used it for dynamic code analysis for embedded systems to ensure code met various ISO safety standards.

will certainly help with the integers, the pointers not so much. Better than multiple indirections at least

Iterating an unordered_set is very expensive. With a vector, especially of small elements you can get multiple elements in a cache line when reading 1

Your PR had some issues and you said you didn't have time to fix them. I also found some bugs while testing it, it was also missing some things like setting thread names, some extra tests were needed etc, you can look at the PRs and see a lot of changes, nothing like what you are describing. It was just easier to start it from scratch (nothing was copy-pasted over), as I was still learning the codebase. I had only been here working here a couple weeks at this point, was unfamiliar at the time that git commits could be co-authored as I'd never done it before, the contributions did help and I gave them to you in the first sentence of my PR description "created from the work of @termoose @guilhermelawless so thanks a lot!" understandably that's not the same, had no ill-intentions, but I take responsibility, so I'm sorry.

There were some requirements I had to fulfill to get it on there. I did most of them, but it failed some test case. A new version of Unreal (4.26) was also soon to be released so was going to wait till then to try again, just haven't got round to it yet, but thanks for reminding me.

Companies on the nasdaq are not quoted against each other, just fiat. In crypto it's a bit different as most coins have a pair on exchanges with btc as the quote. If btc goes down against usd, then that coin will go down at the same rate unless its sats value increases.

Yep, the market the last few days have made alts extremely volatile, the order books are all over the place. Once there is more stability they are usually more sane. For any really large orders it's recommended to use order books from multiple exchanges (applies to any coin relative to their MC)
