Thanks, this is exactly what I was trying to ask. What “motivation” potential modders have.
wotc would have to “admit” to doing what the community only suspects (deliberately restricting these tools in the contracts) to harass modders, right? That could be a PR disaster, hence I hope that means they’ll turn a blind eye.
What are people doing with these super expensive boards now? Like, I know there’s always the “top 1% first-person-shooter” niche that wants that last sub-millisecond of latency, playing games that don’t really respond to 3D cache, but… what else? That’s not a big niche. Modern CPUs have like no overclocking headroom, and even at stock are pushed way too hard.
I’d only spend that kind of money on an embedded Strix Halo board, or HEDT with tons of PCIe lanes. I just don’t see why you’d shell out for Arrow Lake like that when you can get 95% of the performance for a fraction of the price and power usage elsewhere.
The motherboard doesn’t matter AMD’s 3D cache CPUs, which are king for these kinds of games. From what I’ve seen, you’d be crazy not to get either a 5700X3D or a 7800X3D with a cheap mobo.
No kidding, even inland salt is a menace. That + sand destroys stuff outside.
Florida has the added bonus of being a swampy jungle, which you don’t really understand until you try to live there. Your landscaping, weeds, anything that grows, grows like crazy. Your pets will get all sorts of infections and parasites from the ground, even with all the pesticide they spray through sheer necessity. Mosquitos are even bigger than in Texas, and they never leave. And I saw a big alligator tear up our neighbor’s porch trying to run/hide from us, in a very suburban area.
I am not tapped into the BG3 mod community, is stuff going to take off like Skyrim?
It seems more “character oriented” and less sandboxy, so that’s wishful thinking I suppose.
Well I know what my mom would do. She’d kick that bf in the nuts for getting mad at her kid like that, lol.
I am not being hyperbolic.
I think this is your phone doing you a favor, dynamically restricting the apps so they don’t misbehave in the background.
Good.
All this bill would have done is given OpenAI/Anthropic and such an effective monopoly (and probably destroy the planet with their insane scaling schemes) by destroying the open model ecosystem. I think fediverse vs. corporate social media is a good analogy, and this is kinda like sniping the Fediverse because it’s “too dangerous” if it gets too big, without actually being specific on how to deal with that, but actually sniping it because its a competitive threat.
And yes, OpenAI opposed this, but that was lip service. Don’t believe a word that comes out of Altman’s mouth.
If its our area (Flordia coast)… that’s not a problem.
Buyers don’t care. They don’t know squat about flooding or hurricanes, they just come in from out of state and get dazzled by the realtor and the weather and everything and buy.
Our housing market was so crazy houses were being auctioned left and right. Market value just keeps going up, even on the coast.
TL;DR if the area is superficially attractive enough, home buyers are idiots. I realize this is probably not the case in Georgia mountains, but it his here, and its enabling a vicious cycle where builders keep building homes in obvious flood zones, where they absolutely shouldn’t.
This is stupid and I hope he gets his butt handed to him, but:
A federal judge agreed with the Office and contrasted AI images to photography, which also uses a processor to capture images, but it is the human that decides on the elements of the picture, unlike AI imagery where the computer decides on the picture elements.
Journey outside the world of API models (like Midjourney) and you can use imagegen tools where " the human that decides on the elements of the picture"
It can be anything from area prompting (kinda drawing bounding boxes where you want things to go) to controlnet/ipadapter models using some other image as reference, to the “creator” making a sketch and the AI “coloring it in” or fleshing it out, to an artist making a worthy standalone painting and letting the AI “touch it up” or change the style (for instance, to turn a digital painting or a pencil sketch to something resembling a physical painting, watercolor, whatever).
The later is already done in photoshop (just not as well) and is generally not placed into the AI bin.
In other words, this argument isn’t going to hold up, as the line is very blurry. Legislators and courts are going to have to come up with something more solid.
Isn’t that a massive security risk?
Like, what if the U.S was using Roscosmos satellite links in drones? I’d certainly be raising an eyebrow.
Maybe so… but I feel like this is one of the biggest mistakes in the post WWII order. Imagine what things would be like if the UN had more teeth (and no security council)
Why would people want to be on Twitter for posts like this?
It’s like joining a real life club where the more of a jerk you are, the more speaking time you get.
“You know this war we’re slow-walking? That we keep almost negotiating a ceasefire to? Yeah, let’s keep sabotaging that, and start another war, just in case.”
I also kinda sympathize with American allies looking on from the outside now, as the U.S. is going to no doubt unconditionally support this, because… yeah.
There used to be tons of outlets like that. Techreport was stellar with methedology and transparency, I even wrote some articles as a side thing for HardOCP, and the owner of that site was very blunt.
A big point is that all written tech news has been going downhill for ages. Anandtech just closed, in case y’all missed it.
They simply can’t keep up with SEO blogspam, social media and ad enshittification.
Gamers Nexus is this weird intersection of old and new, like an old school hardware outlet that grew up on YouTube. They’re lucky in that respect, not many outlets are so fortunate.

I’m really shocked at how many people (apparently) shell out for onlyfans, subscriptions and such.
I swear, I’m the only sane one, not the only insane one.
Yes, but this is an offline game, and I’ve never seen such a warning without some plausible justification. There’s no basis for interfering with an online component here, so what would Larian even say as they sent warnings?
Using an legally purchased offline game “illegally” would be quite a precedent, no?
Yeah. Larian didn’t seem very interested in blocking this capability (they left all this stuff in the executable), like they did the absolute minimum they were contractually obligated to do lol.
