I do not get the point of this at all, why not just generate game assets and run them in an engine? With this format there would be no regularity that the thing you saw before will look the same (and that is not a fixable problem).

Actually figuring out and improving AI approaches for generating consistent and decent quality game assets is actually something that will be useful, this I have no idea the point of past a tech demo (and for some reason all the "ai game" people do this approach).

Isn't this similar to what e.g. Instagram and co have done for ages? Even smartphones do it automatically for you, digital post-processing to compensate for the limitations of the cameras.

You know, a "made with" blender film just won an Oscar. I bet Blender devs also have to make a living and I doubt they work for free.

You know, survival bias. For each floss project where its devs can make a decent living just working on that project, I can can name way more where they depend on the free labour/willing of their maintainers.

>Spaniards have a later lunch, starting around 1pm, and going on until 4 or 5pm. This could possibly be due to the tradition of afternoon siesta.

It's "funny" how someone that is supposed to be so smart, can be so ignorant at the same time

I'm curious why a 10GB file of all zeroes would compress only to 10MB. I mean theoretically you could compress it to one byte. I suppose the compression happens on a stream of data instead of analyzing the whole, but I'd assume it would still do better than 10MB.
dagi3d · 4 months ago
I get your point(and have no idea why it isn't compressed more), but is the theoretical value of 1 byte correct? With just one single byte, how does it know how big should the file be after being decompressed?

It if wasn't that important no one would buy it. Doesn't matter how good your sales people are if the product doesn't solve a real problem, it's very unlikely you will sell it in a sustainable way.

Your second paragraph is explaining perfectly why open source doesn't work and how its economics don't add up.

I would also add that it indirectly kills the vast majority of programming jobs - nobody is ever going to get paid to create a JPEG decoder as everyone can just use libjpeg. Nobody is ever get paid to write a new kernel as everyone can just use Linux. Very few people are going to get paid to work on a new database as you can just use Postgres...

Once there's a good enough open source solution in a field, in the long run it will out-compete commercial offerings, even it's overall a worse package, as it's some guy's free time project and is created on a $0 budget.

Programmers work for free, end users get a worse product, companies make trillions.

If we had to write every single piece of code over and over(or pay for them), computer science would have barely evolved and would not be so mainstream

I love jellyfin but their web model is just bizarre.

Why on earth, when you go to 192.168.whatever:8096 does it ask you what server you want to connect to? Like.. THE ONE SERVING THE PAGE.

Just now I decided to connect to Jellyfin over tailscale and it's asking me to add a server; on 100.xxx, which is the jellyfin server which served the UI. And it doesn't seem to want to accept any answer as to what the server URL is.

Depending on your needs, you can also connect to your 192.168.x.y machine while connected to tailscale by advertising that subnet
