Completely anecdotal but I was able to add my brother-in-law to my Steam family without any problem and he lives about 125km from me.
The requirement is absolutely something more arcane than “same household” and Valve are keeping quiet on the actual specifics. It’s possible that the fact that I’ve been there multiple times and have logged into Steam on their wifi in the past was enough to confirm that this is a place with close relation to me. Who knows though.
What is so bad about virtual environments?
They’re a solution to a self-inflicted problem. They’re only “really nice and useful” if you accept that having your projects stomp all over each others’ libraries and environments is normal.
If projects were self-contained from the outset then you wouldn’t need an additional tool to make them so.
Why do you think that?
3.5mm audio jack for the crappy built-in speakers.
Guillermo and Mads: My Two Weird Dads
I know someone who has a company with the word “technology” in the name, like “Smith Technology”. They use .technology because it’s literally the name of the company, which I think is good for the brand identity, but have run into issues where people just don’t think it’s a correct url because “smith.technology” looks like it’s missing its TLD.
Also, this is tangential to the rest of our conversation, but I appreciate the dedication to the comment chain required to actually set up something with similar composition to the red man image and take a picture of it. Even has some black in the image in roughly the same size and area as his sweater. :D
For what it’s worth I agree that AI images will generally have “tells” that give away their nature. It’s just they aren’t quite so straightforward as being able to check that average values are within a range. It would be nice if it were that easy though.
While I do dabble with AI image generation I’m not a lunatic who calls themself an “artist” for doing so, nor do I think being a “prompt engineer” is any kind of expression of creativity or skill. I think the people who do are completely self-deluded.
Odd. I tag your red at 78%. And for what it’s worth this RGB to HSV converter agrees with that number taking your colour hex as C92D20. I certainly don’t know enough about it to offer an explanation as to why it might be different.
edit: Ah, I think it’s HSV vs HSL, which I’m just now learning are different things. :D
I’m not sure what you mean by the saturation being around 50% across the board. If I peek the HSB of all of the averages only that first teal-ish one appears to be around the mid point for saturation.
I’d expect that many images are going to be somewhere near 50% grey if you average their luminance out overall. That’s just the average of every colour though. The fact that averaging a range of things tends toward a standard distribution isn’t particularly surprising. Again though, it’s not hard to get a diffusion model to generate something outside of that expectation.
Prompt: “night sky”

Average colour:
Average brightness: 21%
Prompt: “lineless image of an old man drawn in yellow ink on white background”
Image:
Average colour:
Average brightness: 90%
I’m saying it because it’s not only obvious with even a moments thought (you can literally just ask it for an entirely red image or whatever), but also because it’s easily provable.
Prompt: “Under the sea”

Average pixel colour:
Prompt: “a man with red hair wearing a red coat standing in front of a red background”

Average pixel colour:
So I ask you the same question. Did you just say that because you felt like it was true?
It is absolutely not true of all AI images. I’d be surprised if it’s even true about most AI images.
Regardless of whether the gaming market itself is growing or not you can still compare to Nvidia to see how AMD is doing within that environment. If no one was buying any GPUs Nvidia would also be showing a dip, but they’re not.
Anyone? There are lots of houses worth less than $1,000,000. Sure, by the time a mortgage is paid off and you fully own the house yourself a person should also have some savings, but I certainly wouldn’t expect that to be universal.
I’d put money on a pretty messy driving history for the insurance to be that much.
That Concord episode of Secret Level is going to be pretty awkward.
I had a boot floppy I needed to use when I wanted to play Sim City 2000 because my PCs usual configuration didn’t have enough free conventional memory.
I had another one for Zone66 because its memory management was incompatible with EMM386.
Yeah, there are some disappointing limitations for sure, but it definitely is interesting, and does at least feel more like a human player than the normal CPU opponents.
…if a somewhat schizophrenic one.
Except you missed a bug in the “check if it’s sorted” code and it ends up destroying every universe.
