You’re never going to get all Democrats to be satisfied with any candidate, ever. People are going to complain because they love complaining. That said, I think most people are probably fine with her.

Seems like something that should have been released within the first year of the switches life. Anyone really in the market for something like this at this point in time?

There seem to be a lot of these beat’em ups coming out lately. Most of them don’t really seem to bring anything new to the table though. I’ll probably pass on this.

I played it for a few hundred hours before dropping off. The single player content can last you a good while, but it does start feeling a bit repetitive.

The online multiplayer is pretty good, but the net code is not great so it can often feel laggy. This was what I spent most of my time on though.

Looks kind of like NES Remix, but without the remix.

It’s interesting that they are bringing this f-zero stuff to switch now. They had f-zero 99 and now this. I wonder if it could be signaling a new f-zero game in the future.

Mario kart?

I mean, they would have started appearing in there from the first moment that someone created one and hosted it somewhere, no? So it’s already been a thing for a couple years now, I believe.

Here is a simple video that breaks down how neurons work in machine learning. It can give you an idea about how this works and why it would be so difficult for a human to reverse engineer. https://youtu.be/aircAruvnKk?si=RpX2ZVYeW6HV7dHv

They provide a simple example with a few thousand neurons, and even then, we can’t easily tell what the network is doing, because the neurons do not produce any traditional computer code with logic that can be followed. They are just a collection of weights and biases (a bunch of numbers) which transform the input in a some way that the computer decided that it can arrive at the solution. GPT4 contains well over a trillion neurons, for comparison.

It’s nearly limitless because they used nearly 200 lasers. If they built a new one with the full 200 lasers, who knows what could happen.

While I get what you are saying, it’s pretty clear that what he was saying was that if you actually populate the dataset by downloading the images contained in the links (which anyone who is actually using the dataset to train a model would need to do), then you have inadvertantly downloaded illegal images.

It is mentioned repeatedly in the article that the dataset itself is simply a list of urls to the images.

No one is moving to Firefox, because most people don’t care. Just like people stay on Reddit or X, they are going to stay on chrome. Google will feed them shit and they’ll ask for more.

All we can do is worry about ourselves and keep trying to make alternatives viable.

No shit that using your PC for any purpose will consume electricity. A modern GPU can generate an image in a couple of seconds. Or I could just play a video game for an hour, and consume a few thousand times more energy

Good to see some new content, the online modes have been kinda dead recently.

At the moment, it doesn’t really seem to be that much better. Maybe the frames generated are a little more coherent, but you have less control over it. And from what I have seen so far, it just does very simple motions, like billowing smoke, a turning head, or clouds moving through the sky.

This is the dude from zero punctuation!

We have had constant advancement in compression. People just keep using it to make higher quality, higher resolution videos rather than actually reducing file sizes.

I think there is a middle ground though. It’s fine to have easy settings to help people get though a game if they want. The online functionality in Mario wonder, and the ability of Yoshis to not take damage are great examples of that. But on the other hand, I also don’t want to just steamroll the game, fully clearing most of the stages in a matter of minutes. How many man hours of work did they put into each of these stages, just for me to blaze through it in 3 minutes and then never look back?

Like I previously mentioned, something as simple as just a time trial mode could give me an actual incentive to go back and enjoy the content a little more.

Super Mario Wonder. It was an enjoyable game, but just too easy, and no reason to keep playing once you finish. There were only maybe 3 stages in the entire game that offer a real challenge. It would be so much more replayable if it just had a time trial mode or something.
