That’s true. Ray tracing libraries and engines like UE5 are a lot easier to develop on than older engines.
But I’m not sure it’s such a simple comparison. 3d acceleration made games look better, and the weakest gpus didn’t make your fps tank afaik. Your average gpu these days will tank your FPS in ray tracing and cause awful visual artifacts, either from bad denoising algorithms, or from the upscalers used to hide the bad FPS and bad denoising.
This move reduces development costs, but given that the consumer doesn’t get any benefits from it, it’s hard not to have the cynical view that this is just greedy cost cutting on Microsoft’s part.
yes, I run my matrix server 24/7. I’m not really the expert on this, but I believe the way federation works on matrix is that downtime means that users on that instance will not be able to see/write messages, but users on other messages will still be able to write messages, which will later be picked up by the crashed instance when it comes back up. Not sure how it affects rooms.
Not really. I mostly used Element, but I also tried fractal which seemed decent.
The tough thing is that the supported features are changing rapidly, so what might be a good client one year might be out of date the next year. I also had a lot of issues with Element randomly logging me out on my self-hosted server :/
I guess its feminist in the sense that a south korean feminist community uses it, but it’s not consistent with the ideology of feminism. It’s like saying blocking wind turbine construction and increasing prison sentences are liberal because the Swedish Liberal party does those things.
If we consider the struggle for feminism in the US/Europe to be the same as the South Korean struggle for feminism, then sure, we can say that it is a feminist hand-gesture. But the situation in both cultures are completely different, and I’m not sure if American/European feminists would like to be associated with the hand gesture.
I don’t know, I guess in the context of a south korean article it makes sense, but I was just feeliing that it should be clearer that it is a South Korean gesture. It’s honestly a moot point and we’re debating over nothing.
Ah, fair enough. I seem to have misrembered nifty 50 lenses as being specifically for portraits.
Strange technical writing in this review, and a misleading headline. The phone has a 35mm equivalent focal length lens, it doesn’t have a “35mm” full-frame sensor.
A 35mm primary lens is unusual for phone cameras, as usually the primary lens is a wide-angle lens, but 35mm is still quite wide. It isn’t very different from the iPhone’s focal length eqv of 26mm.
In terms of using it as a zoom lens, typically portraits are taken with 50mm lenses, and the iPhone’s “telephoto” lens is 77mm, so 35mm isn’t very narrow, either.
Also, Nubia seems to be a brand from ZTE. It sounds like a Nokia ripoff, and aren’t ZTE banned in the US? Is this phone the result of the CCP dodging trade restrictions? That seems more interesting than a slightly narrower camera lens.
Aren’t coops basically democratic condos? In Sweden we have “bostadsrätt” which are condos governed by a democratic resident association. They’re good for democratic control over housing, but they still require a mortgage and they’re still subject to market speculation. Some of the apartments can be rentals, but that still means you have a landlord, just that your landlord is your neighbors.
Having the city or the state as your landlord seems like it would be more ideal, or at least a balance of coops and public housing.
Yeah, I mean Rocky Raccoon is legendary. I know it’s one of me and my friends’ favorite songs. A big ballad masterpiece. I guess Tommy and Rocky Raccoon were both part of a rock opera trend in 1968, not really sure.
The lyrics are amazing, with lots of double meanings, stylistic characters, and cinematic dialogue. The folksy country feeling and Paul’s affected southern accent is classic. The snare drum when rocky gets shot. The twist at the end with the song ending with the listener not really knowing if Rocky dies or not. The song also inspired the Guardians of the Galaxy character, Rocket Raccoon.
I honestly disagree that the Beatles were putting out “filler”. Much of Beatles’ lesser known stuff wasn’t filler, it was just not as popular. There’s some real quality and ingenuity in the vast majority of Beatles songs. There’s definitely some weaker songs that could be polished a bit, but even those songs often were inspirational for the entire industry.
Honestly, name any song and it’s probably well known for something.
Yeah I mean, most westerners have never heard of wukong and aren’t really interested in a soulslike game centered on him from a brand new studio. It’s cool that Chinese devs are starting to release games internationally, but this concept was never going to be that popular outside of Asia. The fact that they shot themselves in the foot with their advertising didn’t help.
The RT in a lot of those games is broken if DLSS is not turned on. Many games’ implementation of RT is fundamentally broken in terms of providing a glitch free experience.
