Yeah, I don’t see it any different from a person that says

“I want to be called Micheal, not Mike”

Interesting idea,

But search sites currently can’t find anything in lemmy.

So how will they link to this?

Yeah, have you seen the size of those? Those are chem lasers in order to get the wattage needed to destroy something.

Plus you need the electronics/mechanics to track the device perfectly to keep the laser on target in order for it to do damage.

All completely unnecessary to drop a small drone out of the sky.

Nah, lasers too big. It would be a simple birdshot shotgun. Its detection and aiming.

When they are high up, they can be hard to spot and hear.
But a pair of sensitive mic’s and a camera designed to look for them could easily be paired with some AR glasses.

What sucks is that us hobbist’s can’t get FPV, motors, ESC’s, or batteries at reasonable prices (if at all)

The reality of it, is this is short lived.

Anti-Air meant for small drones like this is coming and soon.

And it will shut these down quickly.

Yeah, that isn’t going to work, because either

1. !>25% of your population doesn’t believe women have that right

or

1. Your countries existing laws give too much voting power to a minority

Vote with your wallet

I did.

I bought my 3080 back in 2020, because I knew AI was the future of graphics, based on all the R&D and white papers nVidia was pumping out up to that point.

No regrets.

Not my problem nVidia was the only one to invest in the tech, while AMD relied solely on TSMC to shrink their dies.

It has nothing to do with brand loyalty or fanboys or any of that shit.

It’s just straight up better tech.

hahaha… it saddens me that only those >30yrs old may get this.

Hall-Effect is supreme,

But we’ve been using potentiometers for controller joysticks for 25 years now… and yet it’s only been a huge issue lately.

You know what the world doesn’t need?

an AI model trained on the old Reddit Hive Mind.

Path of Exile,

The true successor to Diablo 2

4,6,7,10

I don’t know. I know I played 9 in its entirety, but it is completely un-rememberable.

But yeah, 100% lets get back to the turn-based formula it was meant to be.
Bonus if we could go back to a 5-team instead of a 3-team

“X” Doubt

yeah, just because you’re not used to it, doesn’t make 24hz good.

That’s like saying modern animation is garbage and we should stick to stop-motion animation.

Motion interpolation is the best thing ever.

I don’t get, even if you are part of .world and they are federated with threads.

Can’t you just personally block all threads?

You personally can defederate without it affecting anyone else.

Ya know, I wouldn’t mind ads,

If google would just FUCKING LISTEN TO MY CURATING DECISIONS!!

No, I’m never going to buy a car based off an ad. Block em all.

No, I’m never switching insurance companies based on an ad.

No, I’m not interested in mobile games. Ever.

And yet when I tell google, block this content, not interested, I don’t want to see this particular topic.

It just doesn’t fucking listen.

You’d think this would be an absolute GOLD MINE of information that google would want, to better focus their ads,.

But they just ignore it,

It’s not about linking people to stuff they are interested in and taking a percentage… it’s about wasting everyone’s fucking time, and then they wonder why people run ad blockers.

Most-Hyped?

Since when?

Depends, What kind of programming are you interested in and what do you want to do with it?

• Low level microcontrollers (PLC’s, Robotics, Control systems, ROS, Automation, etc)

• Higher level systems (Software Engineering, Enterprise Software, Networking, etc)

• UX programming (Graphical User interfaces, human-machine interfacing, websites, etc)

• Video Game Programming

• AI Programming, Machine Learning, Prompt Engineering, maybe Data Processing, Vision systems, Simulations, etc

All depends on what you want to do with your programming. You’ll need to narrow down and focus on what you hope to do with it.

While Epic has been pouring money from Fortnite into Unreal Engine and making significant progress in updating the engine.

Unity has been sitting on its ass for years doing absolutely nothing in the way of R&D.

As a result, Unity is now left behind.

Valve has given up on being an Engine developer.

Epic with the Unreal Engine will have a monopoly soon if it doesn’t already.

Anyone attempting to make their own modern game engine these days are way behind the ball. All the big players are switching to Unreal.

And it’s not only Game Engine, but movie making engine as well.

The only company I could see that would have the $$$ and talent to compete against Epic for a Graphics Engine would be nVidia.

AMD doesn’t have the R&D and Scientists specializing in Graphics/Physics/Rendering/Simulation/InformationLoading like nVidia does.
Valve has the $$$ and talent, but they are focused on hardware now, and are even farther behind than Unity.

Having a single Game Engine monopoly will be bad for all of us in the end.

The only Video Game engine that I could see someone develop that could compete against Unreal, is if the engine was built from the ground up 100% focused on anti-cheat. Libraries that are designed from the start to be multiplayer focused with un-necessary data scrubbed properly from the clients so they can’t sniff out data. Something designed to be hack proof.

That game engine, even if not graphically intense would be highly sought after in a wide genre range of games.
