Ya dumbass, it's = it is. Apostrophe means combo.

It's just a frat for grown men. College fraternities can be similarly secretive and try to appear "fancy", but at the end of the day it's all just dudes hanging out in a clubhouse.

When I went team red for the first time earlier this year, I really scrutinized zoomed in screenshots to compare the upscaling for FSR and DLSS. With FSR 3, I couldn't see any difference compared to DLSS. Older FSR versions yeah, but at least for me not a problem any more.

I think the size may have more to do with the team not splitting up the Unreal build paks. Haven't checked how well it's actually split up, but I can say that changing even one small thing could result in a giant update if that build has like one pak file with all the things in it. There are ways to configure it in the build but it's not a magic toggle either. Worked with a studio handing off UE builds before that didn't build the game in a split friendly way and it made every upload to S3 take forever cause there were only like two really giant paks.

Also makes me wonder, does Steam not do diff patch style updates for changes within individual files? If not, that could save a ton of bandwidth.

The US military budget is designed to independently fight and win another two-theater war in Europe and Asia. Has been since WWII. I think it would be justifiable to shrink the Europe portion of that; Russia's military capabilities are awful by this point, and Ukraine has done an excellent job demonstrating you don't need the kind of budget the US would expect to at least hold on that front.

Your train small.

Considering tanks are transported by train, not surprising. Train big.

Depends. If you're looking to work somewhere that has a public image, social media is likely to be a factor. Anything involving safety or serious liability will need drug screenings. Outside of that, it depends on how much the company is willing to pay for screenings. They have to pay for them for candidates, and they're not cheap. I've done work in background check software and can tell you costs range from the low hundreds to sometimes over a thousand bucks per candidate, particularly if a candidate has gone by a lot of names and lived in a lot of places. You end up with a big combinatorial of identities to do criminal records requests for from different jurisdictions across the country. Some jurisdictions require a phone call to request records, and I can think of at least one where someone has to literally go pick up documents from a courthouse in person. On top of that, some drug panels are quite expensive. Social media review usually takes a lot of a real person's time to go through; hard to automate if you want to be thorough beyond just pointing at a Facebook profile to scrape and feed through an LLM, and some kinds of posts are relevant to some employers vs others.

If you're concerned, 7 years is the industry norm for how far back they consider your past unless it's for like a professional certification or degree.

Idk, seems he's salty about losing so much money because he acted creepy and unprofessional towards women. Could go either way, curious how this plays out.

Keep in mind with the two year transfer that some colleges, while they say they accept community college credits, may not count all the classes as equivalent replacements for their own graduation pre-reqs. You may have to redo some or take extras that cause you to spend 2.5 - 3 years at the four year college.

To anyone who didn't read past the headline: he said he needed more sleep. He was testing it obsessively.

 

Playing complex strategy games for many years, one of the things that irks me the most is that hard AI levels often just give the dumb AI cheats to simulate it being smarter. To me, it's not very satisfying to go against cheating AI. Are any games today leveraging neural networks to supplant or augment hand-written decision tree based AI? Are any under development? I know AI can be resource intensive, but it seems that at least turn based games could employ it.
