For me it's really a matter of mood and if my friends are available for something co-op.

I do have one PvP pleasure though and that's Street Fighter. I can't stand anything team based, but give me two characters on screen 1v1 and I'm all over it.

KITT is self driving in the same way that people are self walking.

If there are no nvidia cards that can run your game at 90fps, not even the 4090, then you're using ray tracing I assume? In which case I've already agreed. The gap is too large, and a product tier offset in AMD pricing isn't going to make up for that gap. My comments about FSR vs DLSS in this scenario assume a superior performance baseline for AMD, where you're comparing no FSR to DLSS "quality", or maybe FSR "quality" to DLSS "performance". AMD would need to tank their prices to an absurd degree to close that gap when ray tracing is involved.

As for why AMD haven't put more time into their encoder, I have a suspicion they were banking on people moving away from AVC to HEVC or, more recently, AV1. Their HEVC and AV1 encoders are much closer in quality to nvidia than their AVC encoder, and clearly have more attention paid to them. Hell, even as far back as Polaris cards AMD's HEVC encoder was even faster than their AVC, while also looking better.

RTX HDR does look better than Windows Auto HDR, but also comes with a much larger performance hit. Not saying it isn't worth it, but something to be aware of when choosing which to use.

But consider that if you get a more powerful card at the same price you don't need as much upscaling or frame generation. FSR being sightly worse is irrelevant if you can run the game at native.

AMF being worse than NVENC is certainly true, but in my opinion that barely matters. If you care about quality you should use CPU encoding no matter which one you have, and if you just want to capture video locally you can crank up the bitrate where the differences become negligible.

As for ray tracing there's no counter argument there. Nvidia is better, AMD doesn't match them. If you want to do anything with heavy ray tracing AMD is basically a non-starter. Though I do think it's adequate for games with light ray tracing.

Even if you are confident in your Linux skills this isn't a bad idea. I've seen too many OS installers put things on drives other than the one you choose to risk it at this point.

The dndmemes protests were a pretty incredible thing while they lasted. The mods changed the subreddit to "nsfw" because that disabled most of the monetization. Then Reddit admins told them the subreddit obviously wasn't really nsfw and to change it to accurately reflect the subreddit content.

...so the mods changed the subreddit rules to allow actual nsfw content and people went nuts. In multiple senses of the term.

Of course "accurately reflecting the subreddit" wasn't what Reddit really cared about. They wanted to preserve the advertising stream for a popular subreddit, and this did the opposite of that. Reddit admins soon after basically said "remove nsfw content, restore the subreddit to what it used to be, do what we say or we'll replace you with a mod team of our own choosing".

"Clean" because all the code that does anything is split into countless three line "atomic functions" and buried under layers of observables and factories I bet.

Two and a half months is insane for a practical skills demonstration for a job interview. Those should be a couple of hours at most.

My interest in anime has waned pretty significantly in recent years but did check out this one when I first heard about it. Absolutely excellent, fun, and very moving towards the end.

Even without any potential monetization by anyone... you kind of are? You are part of the community here, and that's what people come here for. Lemmy's community is the product it offers, and you are a piece of it.

Yes, that's my point. They know they have a dominant hand, and which hand that is. They are also likely to remember whether they are right or left handed. Even if they don't know intrinsically what "right" is it can simply be memorized in the same way that people know their blood type.

Combining those two pieces of information should let a person figure out which side is which.

 

I can't wait.
