  • Google is cannibalizing the web to feed AI

    Jump

  • I'm pretty sure AI is objectively smarter today than it was 5 years ago.

  • The rich convinced us that taxing them is too complicated but everyday people can be taxed pretty easily

    Jump

  • Capital gains should just be taxed as regular income instead of having a special rate.

  • any game suggestions for the master system and genesis

    Jump

  • I'm not familiar with the master system, but the Genesis has a fair number of good games. I think it unfortunately doesn't hold up as well as it's competitor the SNES though, because Sega went hard on licensed properties and sports titles, and a lot of those games just aren't particularly relevant these days, and there were a lot of cross platform games that were just better on the SNES.

    But a few that I think are worth mentioning:

    • The adventures of Batman and Robin
    • Contra hard corps
    • gunstar heroes
    • vectorman 1 & 2
    • Ghostbusters
    • streets of rage 2
    • comix zone
    • Toejam and Earl 1 & 2 (the sequel is a very different game)
    • zombies ate my neighbors
    • road rash 2
    • earthworm Jim 1 & 2
    • Castlevania bloodlines
    • Shinobi III
    • Rocket Knight adventures
    • Mickey mouse Castle of illusion

  • Hands off the VPNs — Mozilla warns UK regulators that age-restricting VPNs "would undermine the privacy and security of all users," while failing to protect kids

    Jump

  • Sounds like a good idea. Now we just need a way to determine which users are kids and which are adults. I've got it! We can use age verification for that, and we'll probably also need to ban vpns to stop kids from getting around it.

  • Pizza Hut's AI system caused 'cascading' problems and $100M in damages, franchisee alleges in new suit

    Jump

  • Wtf, pizza hut doesn't employ their own delivery drivers anymore? Sounds like they are complaining because they outsourced delivery and now they don't like how the work is getting done.

  • Have you ever camped out or queued up for the launch of a game, console, or other media?

    Jump

  • I lined up to get the Wii on it's release date. I went to Walmart at around 11 am to wait on the midnight launch. We were put in the garden center, and it was pretty chill. The guy at the front kept a list so people could go to the bathroom or to grab food without losing their spot. One guy brought a portable TV with a PlayStation and guitar hero, so we spent a lot of time playing that. I brought my DS, but not many people in line had one. It turned out to be a fun and memorable experience, but I've never waited in line like that again.

  • Former Microsoft VP says Microsoft missed the AI wave like the internet and mobile, as Copilot scales back in Windows 11

    Jump

  • In what way did Microsoft miss the Internet wave? Internet explorer was basically the gatekeeper of the Internet for a while, to the extent that it led to the antitrust case.

  • What gaming console you own/owned disappointed you the most and why ?

    Jump

  • Probably the Sega 32X. The messaging around it was kind of confusing, and still being fairly young when it came out, I was expecting it to be the gateway to 32 bit gaming that I would be enjoying for years to come. I ended up getting virtua racing on it, which was better than the Genesis version, but nothing spectacular really. I also got virtua fighter, which was a genuinely good game. Almost everything else was ports of mediocre games that had already come out on the Genesis. A couple of original games like knuckles chaotix just... Kinda sucked. Then when I found out that all of the support was going behind the Saturn, and that's where all of the new and original games were going, well I just felt swindled.

  • Frame-Gen to 30fps? Lego Batman's "Bizarre" PC Specs Sheet Is a Case Study in How Not To Market a Game

    Jump

  • Well maybe, but fsr still doesn't include frame gen, right?

  • Frame-Gen to 30fps? Lego Batman's "Bizarre" PC Specs Sheet Is a Case Study in How Not To Market a Game

    Jump

  • The weird thing about it, is it says you need dlss upscaling and frame gen to reach 30 fps at 1080p for the minimum requirements... But the GPU listed is a GTX 960 which doesn't support any of that in the first place!

    My personal thought on that matter is that they are probably saying that a GTX 960 can get you 1080p at 30 fps, but they recommend enabling dlss if you have a more powerful card that supports it (which would take you above 30fps). Maybe I'm wrong, but that's the only way it makes any sense to me.

  • What was life like in the United States from 1970 to 2000s?

    Jump

  • Without the Internet, you had to find other ways of entertaining yourself. Regular toys and board games and stuff were played with a lot. As an only child, I would sometimes play my board games by myself, acting as 2 players (yeah, sad I know). I remember getting lots of activity books and coloring books when I was really young. Then as I got older I read a lot of magazines and books. The Readers Digest was kept in the bathroom, and I would read jokes or stories from it while on the toilet. Things like Legos could keep you busy for hours. I got a Nintendo and it consumed most of my time. The games were simple, but tended to be difficult, and you would just play it over and over and over again. On Fridays after school you could go to the video store to rent a movie or game as some weekend entertainment. Going to the movie theater seemed to be reasonably priced back then. There were arcade games all over the place, like at the movie theater, inside convenience stores, even in the pizza hut. We used to actually go to the pizza hut and sit down at a table to eat, it was fun. Before cable or satellite TV, there were only like 3 channels, and they went off at night.

  • Is AI inference getting cheaper or more expensive over time?

    Jump

  • Its easy to think of it similar to something like computer hardware or game consoles. There is always newer and better hardware coming out. And the newer stuff is always more efficient (performance/watt) than the old stuff. But the user's expectations increase as well, so new hardware doesn't just aim to be more efficient, it aims to be more powerful. Then that sets a new baseline for expectations.

    So a lot of these LLM and other types of models are very much like that. The newer models definitely bring improvements in efficiency and performance. But no one wants to sit still, they have to keep pushing the envelope to make them better and more powerful.

  • How does gerrymandering work? How does drawing new maps in a state to say these over here are repubs and the over here are dems? How does it matter when it just goes to the state vote?

    Jump

  • It doesn't matter for a statewide vote. It matters when electing people for the house of representatives, because those races are NOT statewide.

  • Roku and TCL are being sued for allegedly bricking smart TVs with bad updates

    Jump

  • A couple months back, I had an Internet outage, and decided to just watch some over the air TV. My TCL TV wouldn't even display the standard TV broadcast without an Internet connection.

  • Firefox browser has started shipping Brave's adblock-rust engine

    Jump

  • Is there any benefit to this over ublock origin?

  • How would you survive a zombie apocalypse?

    Jump

  • I believe it's generally accepted that zombies can't climb, or at least, they are really bad at it. So you basically just need to take the high ground. If you can get up a ladder or something, you would basically be safe and could easily pick off any zombies below with a spear or other ranged weapon.

    Long term, I would probably go to the mountains, find a clean water source and plant crops. The mountainous terrain would be a big obstacle and most zombies probably wouldn't even try to go up. For any that do, I could probably set up some traps to lead them off an edge where they would fall back to the bottom.

    What's a good website builder?

    Jump

  • Most small websites these days are just WordPress with a template.

  • Recommend us a kids' cartoon

    Jump

  • I found Freakazoid to be hilarious when I was in my teens, even though a lot of the jokes felt like they were written for my parents. It's a fairly short series too, at least compared to a lot of the other kids shows.
