    So

    300×1024×1024= 314,572,800kb

    Assuming something like 200 bytes per log line

    x5 = 1,572,864,000 logs

    Assuming this is your standard console port with a 60fps frame rate lock:

    ÷60fps ÷ 60 seconds ÷ 60 minutes ÷ 24h = 303.407… days

    You would need to play for nearly a year solid to generate that many logs at a rate of one per frame.

    Given that’s probably not what’s happened, this is a particularly impressive rate of erroring



  • The first one is pretty much down to, as Gabe Newell puts it, “piracy is a service problem”. Spotify came along and (initially) provided a much better service compared to pirating your music at the time. Once they created the market segment, competitors started their own streaming subscriptions. I’d also say the Google music “upload 50,000 tracks for free” got a lot of former pirates to jump.

    Now the services are going through the same enshittification that most popular online services seem to be going through, we can see piracy increasing again. Someone will notice and fill the gap in providing a good service again at some point and the pendulum will swing once more








  • Ah the one from a week ago or so? There were a couple new ones for me in there, but none of the sports I’m interested in (basically football* & rugby) have super active communities. I’m glad I’m an arsenal fan at least because we’re the one team community I’ve seen that seems to have something new every day.

    *The international kind, not NFL

    (Also cheers to you for keeping the content up in the new communities community, definitely found a lot through your posts)










  • There are ethical problems with how many of the models have been created and some of what they’re being used for

    But I generally agree, it’s pretty much the same thing we see with every technological innovation—something big changes and a load of things get disrupted, a group of people then get angry about said innovation, eventually those people dwindle and the innovation gets absorbed into the general public’s idea of what modern life consists of.

    I can’t think of any big innovation over the past few decades that hasn’t really followed a similar trajectory
