VR was supposed to replace smartphones
Why didn't that happen?

Is there really no indie Dev besides VRchat that grew a successful company using VR? Meta really fucked the entire ecosystem, without them buying up and locking every successful Dev in a dungeon there would have been enough success stories to have built an attractive ecosystem. Looking in after ignoring it feels like I'm looking at exactly the same shit I was seeing in the 2010s, it's crazy how absolutely no progress was made in 10 years.

>>107890667

I agree with you. VRC is a fairground novelty. That said, learning what VRchat’s limitations are (from a developer’s standpoint) and seeing attempt original VR ideas is really great. I’ve likened it to some as GeoCities in the late 90s. VRC still has a lot in common with Web 1.0.

Note that you can experience the vast majority of the game without VR and VR isn’t required to have a good time there. So the original point that it’s tech demo/fairground novelty stands. It’s not mainstream.

No, there won't. All that matters is controller shape. It is the literal interface between you and the fucking game.

Nobody besides salesmen and (ironically enough) hysterical anti-AI people suggested that it is.

How in the everloving fuck is Radeon not smoking NVIDIA GPUs all these years with these numbers? What if they were able to run the same software as though NVIDIA made them? AMD GPUs have always had more raw teraflops over the years (especially double precision, such as on the Radeon VII) and yet this is never reflected in most real world tasks.

Seriously, on paper this should handily beat an RTX 4080. Can someone explain WTF is going on here? Why is this calculator not out-calculating the other calculator despite being able to do more calculations? Are the calculations just retarded and less valuable than the other calculations from the other calculators and thus not directly comparable or what?

just wanted to add another disappointed ROCm voice. it is really scuffed. amdgpu crashes, libhsa.so null pointer derefs, pytorch bedshitting... its all over the place. and best of all is its non-deterministic - youll be running some pytorch workload fine for 10 mins, then crash. 20 mins, then crash.

a lot of talk about how its 'almost there' but we've heard that for a long time now...

its not so much the "nvidia tax" as much as its the price of having something that works reliably. i dont know why no other hardware vendor has their shit together, maybe it really is a conspiracy, but reliable GPGPU is coming exclusively from apple and nvidia.

At what point does the syntax become so terrible that its simply not worth using the language no matter the benefits it might have under the hood? Because c# is the most disgusting shit ive ever seen in my life. Why would they call it "c#"? It doesnt seem similar to c in any way. I mean to be honest the only thing ive ever done with it is write hello world then immediately rage deleted .NET off my system because the syntax disgusted me so much. Whats confusing to me is knowing that many people have actually kepy using the lang after that point. Whats the worst syntax youve ever seen?

That's what the best Rust developers on the planet, working or cloudflare, thought as well.
Don't blindly trust your ugly ass language, just because some government propaganda told you that it is safe.
Also grooming yourself into attaching .unwrap() everywhere and considering it a totally normal thing, is how you will crash every single server of your corporation in the near future.

The changes in fan speed are less abrupt coupled with higher cooling efficiency. But you could argue that’s offset by the increased power draw and pump noise.

Almost every device on the planet is either actively or passively air cooled. Water cooling has its benefits, but there’s a reason it isn’t as ubiquitous.

If you give these advertising cunts an inch, they'll take a mile. Any company that endorses that kind of behaviour needs to face consequences. Advertising needs to be vetted.

And as always, people need to protect themselves.

Obvious bait is bait, but for the lurkers…

Get a noob distro. Ubuntu, Mint, Bazzite. Nobara is fairly recent but focused on out-of-the-box, point-and-click usability for gaming and content creation, so having to use the command line is at the very least infrequent.

Distros like these let you ease into the way Linux works, but you should absolutely be getting comfortable with the CLI. It feels archaic at first, but with time it becomes the most expedient way to do certain things. Stick with Linux, it’s worth it.
