It’s more useful than when they label lines by where they terminate. Ok but what if I’m not going to the end of the line how do I know if it’s the right train or not?

Technology@lemmy.world•Samsung's latest update is a serious gut punch to Galaxy power usersEnglish
1·2 hours agoUnfortunately it isn’t a particularly great spec. It’s fine if you don’t care about those things but for people that want high-end smartphones the phone isn’t going to cut it.
Well not too much for Starfield. Back when they announced it they were comments about how their engine isn’t good enough to pull off the things they were promising. It’s why I didn’t pre-order it.

1·2 hours agoI mean in a way I get it. It’s easier to just pay subscription services and to have to try and deal with the utterly terrible torrent sites which by the way are no better now than they were 20 years ago.

1·2 hours agoIt is incredibly hard to believe that.
I had collected almost 20tb of content.
What were they all in 4K? 20 terabytes of video at 4K is around 7 days of non-stop content. But pretty much all pornography is not high quality stuff so we’re looking at more like 22 weeks of content. Also who has 20 terabytes worth of storage anyway?
That’s a different definition of wasted though. The RAM isn’t lost just because it isn’t being currently utilised. It’s sitting there waiting for me to open a intensive task.
What I am objecting to is programs using more RAM than they need simply because it’s currently available. Aka chromium.
A small shop? What’s an incredible concept. Who would have thunk it?
America truly is the land of innovation.

Games@lemmy.world•Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlashEnglish
21·5 hours agoThe problem is I’ve seen people who supposedly have a brain start to use a high and over time they become increasingly confident in the AI’s abilities. Then they stop bothering to review the code.

92·5 hours agoIt ain’t slop if it’s built right.
Yeah but the problem is, is it? They absolutely insist that we use AI at work, which is not only insane concept in and of itself, but the problem is that if I have to nanny it to make sure it doesn’t make a mistake then how is it a useful product?
He says it helps him get work done he wouldn’t otherwise do, but how’s that possible? how is it possible that he is giving every line of code the same scrutiny he would if he wrote it himself, if he himself admits that he would never have got around to writing that code had the AI not done it? The math ain’t matching on this one.
That’s why they all think that everyone’s secretly a Nazi only they are too afraid to admit it, which is why they are constantly surprised by all of the public backlash whenever they do their nazi things.
Of course that’s daft, the real Nazis have never been afraid to tell everyone who they are. Even when no one was asking.
I suspect that what he actually believed was that other people dying (preferably kids who don’t vote) so he can have a gun it’s a small price to pay.
What the right all have in common is an absolute inability to emphasise with anybody else, until it happens to them.

1·14 hours agoI mean I have access to a computer with a terabyte of RAM I’m gonna go ahead and say that most applications aren’t going to need that much and if they use that much I’m gonna be cross.

8·19 hours agoI don’t know why electron has to use so much memory up though. It seems to use however much RAM is currently available when it boots, the more RAM system has the more electron seems to think it needs.

United Kingdom@feddit.uk•Migration minister fails UK citizenship test questionEnglish
7·19 hours agoIt’s just that I don’t think that knowing a bunch of historical facts that most people never retain, if they’re taught them at all, is really what’s necessary for someone to integrate into British culture.
Think of any nation and you can immediately name national traits, Peru has a very different cultural backdrop than Germany for example. Knowledge of that is what the citizenship test should be checking for. Not whether or not I can remember a bunch of dates from the attached guide otherwise it’s much more about sending the accompanying book as it is about actually helping people integrate

Have you ever done that thing though where there’s a detour because the road is closed for some reason and you end up in an area that is obstensively nearby but you couldn’t identify. Like I know I’m only 200 m away from where I previously was, but this might as well be another planet.
