I think we have different definitions of security. Your definition may be more theoretically secure, in your mind, for the novel and interesting solutions. My definition is about a hardened, time-tested solution.

I feel like a lot of this is driven by a bias towards the unknown. You don't know all the security issues in something new or even something old that doesn't get the same level of testing as Linux.

I would trust security hardened Linux over all of the suggestions any day of the week. Better the devil you know.

I love how mad this girl makes all the boomers and genx weirdos. It's so entertaining to me. All she has to do is exist, and the collective blood pressure of all the world's loosers rises.

"Flooded the market," usually called "met demand." The West is so weird whenever China is involved.

Shy tories will always mitigate the polls. It's unlikely to be a bloodbath, but the infighting after a loss might be the real killing blow to the party.

The software aspect I won't argue with. But I will go against the chip design. In 2024, most parts of most chips are built from library prefabs, and outside of that, all the efficiencies come from taking advantage of what the chip fab is offering.

That's why these made up nm numbers are so important. They are effectively marketing and don't have much basis in reality (euv wavelength is 13nm~, but we're claiming 6 now) - what they do indicate is improvements in other aspects of lithography.

Apple aren't the geniuses here, which is why their M chips were bested by intels euv chips as soon as Intel upgraded its fabs to be more advanced than tsmc for six months. It's all about who's fsb is running the bleeding edge.

There are so many big budget games out recently that I'm massively backlogged on just 2024 games.

I don't ascribe to this weirdo youtube fed narrative that everything is bad now, everything is so good right now I'm having an amazing time.

The smartest thing Apple has done in the past decade is buy TSMC a factory. They just gave a TSMC a factory for free, with the deal being they have guaranteed time every year, no fighting.

That's what let them make their own laptop cpus, time. The M cpus aren't good because of arm, or apple geniuses, but rather TSMC bleeding edge tech and high yeilds. And of course, every company that didn't buy TSMC a factory has to fight for time, meaning everyone else loses out.

The costs of being a bleeding edge chip fab make reproducing tsmc elsewhere unattainable.

I'm saying that asking for information on the details of what is or is not in it, is a bad idea. because we don't know, you don't know, anyone getting mad and saying one thing or the other is a bad idea.

saying that it can't make higher framerates when framegen exists is a bad idea, until we know it doesn't do that.

i'm so tired of this community, reddit was better. be better.

It's not even an announced product, this is all rumours

Frame generation is a thing.

This is like saying new pcs barely have a reason to exist because old pcs can play some new pc games.

 

I look forward to this video every year. An industry animator talks about the best animation found in last year's games. There are always lots of games I've never heard of, and I end up appreciating something about a game that I've never thought about before.

 

March 14, 2024 beyond excited for this, EDF

 

Part five in this long running series looking at the animation in each Final Fantasy game

 

(december 8th, with demo)

 

Only ever released briefly on vhs, then later on dvd in Spain for some reason, comes The Midnight Hour. A teenage Halloween party that turns deadly and bursts into song!

also starring Le Var Burton! It's a really fun Halloween movie that I try to watch every year, even if the quality is terrible

Trailer The Entire Movie

 

Okay, there aren't actually that many frogs in this movie. But there is always a vague croaking sound in the background track so that counts right?

Trailer

 

It's Exactly What You Think It Is

And oh boy, they aren't lying about that tagline. It is exactly what you think it is. Good score, though!

 

From Claudio Fragasso (yes, the Trolls 2 guy) comes Night Killer. If you're looking for 93 minutes of awkward dialogue and acting, this has it in troves. Claudio Fragasso has such a unique ability to take mediocre actors and make them so much worse

 

I've been waiting for this for so long... 2024 can't come early enough
