I'm seeing all this shit on YT, forums etc. >DDR5 prices at 400% >SSDs are next>you won't be able to afford a PC>Win11 is Satan's anus>AI will replace you, spy on you>you will own nothingThe thing is, for over a decade we have been stuck in this stupid hype-for-new-tech upgrade cycle. Suddenly 4 cores was no longer enough, 16 gigs of RAM not enough, 2TB being the go to size. PeeSeaMastaReis, RGB, wireless. Where are the tech improvements though? Games looks worse and play worse than shit that came out in 2007. People are on fiber now, but webpages still take a few seconds to load. I use my computer the exact same way I used it when it was a big white box, paired with bulky 14'' CRT - watch movies, listen to music, play games, write code. AI is only useful for cutting down time on googling something, but then you still have to check if you can trust it, same goes for code troubleshooting, it's good for finding typos, but terrible for suggesting optimizations (which it does unprompted, and no, that toString() fucking stays!).I'm actually thinking this: all this price hike and shortage isn't the end of the world. It's back to sanity. 4 cores, 8GB, iGPU, 512 SSD isn't shit. It's still going to play music, movies and vidya (still a better machine than I ran Crysis with when it came out). Normie-friendly Linux distros have been a thing since Mandriva and Ubuntu, but now they cover gaming too (Cachy, Bazzite, Nobara).We haven't been progressing for over a decade, yet buying more expensive hardware to have the exact same (or worse) experience. I have a shitty low-tier Thinkpad the sole purpouse of which is to play music, movies and emulate arcade games through Fightcade for when friends visit. That thing is hooked up to a 4K TV and does fine, I use it more than my beefy desktop, just because of the couch-experience. IMO, a GPU or DDR5 stick could cost 10K bucks and it still wouldn't care. Whatever computer you have, hasn't been obsolete since 2015.
>>107648301Good post, Anon. I've been having similar thoughts on the whole thing.
>>107648301Wow you must really be underage if you think this shit is new or that price hikes never have happened before. >you will own nothingOh you're one of those kind of retards
>>107648301this is kinda based but what if software just says fuck you and raises requirements anyway?
>>107648439>Oh you're one of those kind of retardsBy quoting someone else? Explain your logic? Or maybe you didn't read the post and don't understand what green-text is?I also experienced all the price hikes that happened before and always just endured. My upgrade cycle is between 5-6 years and that was only because of things like this >>107648451 Last upgrade I did was in July and after a week I realised it wasn't necessary, it was something I was planning as part of that cycle, had the money, pulled the trigger and it was stupid. Now my biggest bottleneck is the keypress delay setting in my OS and general wireless interference becoming a meme when every peripheral is running of a 2,4 dongle.
>>107648301You're one of the .0001% of people that actually has the time/inclination/patience to do all that stuff.The remaining 99.9999% of the populace will just pay the $1,000/mo for compute access or be forced onto the street and OD on fent

>>107649179It won't make a difference. James Jones is still the man in charge and Linux will never have feature parity with windows. Look at all the time nvidia put into replacing nvcpl on windows because they kept breaking dropdown boxes and couldn't disable one feature automatically upon enabling another, and revert it when turned off.They went with nvidia app or whatever that garbage is.There's no way linux will ever get the same treatment unless James Jones keels over.
At *best*, Linux will hit 7% market share in 2026. Hardly a dominating percentagehttps://www.pornhub.com/insights/2025-year-in-review#devices-tech

>>107649190To be honest, I'm not a great fan of onions sauce, it tends to overpower other flavours, in my opinion/experience. I like oyster sauce instead, it adds umami without becoming the dominant flavour at all.On lmarena, like Mustachio observed, there's almost certainly some kind of account-related profiling when it comes to the filter. I've been noticing myself that running the same prompt while logged in and while in incognito mode, without login, results in different treatment. So far, this is limited to prompts that were so innocuous that it made no sense they were blocked in the first place.
>>107649490 (Me)And I'll never remember this stupid word's filter...
>>107649490haven't partook in oyster sauce in a long time. kind of don't remember the taste.

I forced AI to break circular definitions in physics and act as a Game Designer for reality.It ended up writing a "Universe Engine" technical doc and actual code.We tested a 128x128x128 slice. Newtonian gravity emerged automatically from base constants.It's not perfect, but it works.I don't have the compute power to run a larger simulation.Need someone with hardware to compile and test this properly.Repo: https://github.com/JulianZoria/Universe-Engine

The team collected videos where creators show an on-screen gamepad overlay to train the AI. NitroGen learned to map gameplay pixels to gamepad actions. It currently only works with controller based games. nitrogen.minedojo.org
>>107624894does this mean we can finally get some AI in games that aren't absolutely braindead retarded to play against?

What makes minecraft so flexible in how you can mod the game? The reason it is still holding strong as the highest selling game after 15 years is because of the freedom it offers with modding. You can make an infinite number of new minigames in multiplayer servers. You can make an endless variations of new parkour maps or modpacks that will never feel repetitive. No game comes close in how much you can change the vanilla version to make new stuff. What allows minecraft to have this ability?
>>107646137>The reason it is still holding strong as the highest selling game after 15 years is because of the freedom it offers with moddingAbsolutely false, modding is only a small part of it. By far the most popular version of the game, the godawful "bedrock" edition (phone/console), has very poor modding support. Even on youtube, the most viewed content is usually vanilla aside from basic quality of life mods.Anyway, Java is easy to modify. JAR files are just zip files with bytecode, and the bytecode maps quite easily to the original java that it was compiled from. Unlike C/C++ which is compiled for a given architecture, java is not and cannot take advantage of low level optimizations in the bytecode.
>>107646182It isn't 2012 anymore
>>107646137Modding in Minecraft is absolute garbage compared to other games, the only reason it has so many mods is because there are so many players
>>107649587>java is not and cannot take advantage of low level optimizations in the bytecodeThat's a weird way to phrase that. Java code is optimized at runtime by the JVM. It's faster than v8 and most C/C++ code that handles data wrong.
>>107649740Optimizing at runtime is not the same as the original bytecode itself having architecture-specific optimizations.Both can be fast, but only one is easy to decompile.
