We don't have a paid offering yet. Right now we're focused on local development environments, which is free to use as individuals and organizations. In the future, we'll have a paid offering for organizations to use in their staging/production environments. Anyone interested in being a part of that pilot, please email me: my-username at anchor.dev
If you notice how fast the PR and guides for optimizing performance has come I'd say not only the developers but everyone that's not the top of the top knew the game's pain points.
When I was a game dev the argument went something like this: "Well, computers will be faster once we finish the game, so don't worry too much about the performance right now."
Two years later: "WE NEED TO RELEASE THIS TOMORROW. JUST MAKE IT BUILD AND SHIP IT!"
It's satire, people are reaching way too far in this thread (ex. IGN's review is using 3080 / Ryzen 7 and they were happy with performance)
The site none of us can read probably has more info about this being a RTX 4090 quirk. And it's not exactly surprising the dev team wasn't optimizing for RTX 4090, and the quirky reaction here would be justified if they were.
> It's not like Nvidia completely rebuilt the GPU between revisions
NVidia absolutely changes the assembly language rather dramatically between iterations. That's why the code is in NVidia PTX (or HLSL / Microsoft's DXIL, DirectX Intermediate Language), and then recompiled to actual GPU assembly each time you install a game or run the code on a different system.
I have not seen an instance where a GPU series that has been out for over 12 months has regressed in performance prior to an older one
Perhaps back in the very early accelerator days when everyone was making GPU-specific hacks of Quake 1 but even that was smoothed over by the transition to DirectX/OpenGL/GLiDE at the time
Yea, we’re crazy dumb idiots for thinking it’s not great that so many people are literally starving and homeless and one dude has more wealth than Smaug.
The federal government spends 25 times Jeff Bezos’s net worth each year. They’re also the ones tasked with making sure people aren’t starving and homeless.
You’re crazy dumb idiots for thinking Bezos having money is connected at all to homeless and hungry people existing (in fact, I’d think you’ll find those things are negatively correlated — the USSR and Mao’s China had no billionaires, but boy did people go hungry!)
> The federal government spends 25 times Jeff Bezos’s net worth each year.
Hehe, this totally makes the opposite point from what you intended. The government spends that money on more than 330,000,000 people - some more than others. The realization that Bezos, one single person, is holding enough wealth to fund all government activity and absorb all taxes for 13,000,000 average Americans for a year is yet another way to get a sense for what a silly amount of money this is for one person to have.
> You’re crazy dumb idiots for thinking Bezos having money is connected at all to homeless and hungry people existing
Lack of affordable housing is the primary cause of homelessness, and in at least some cities where homelessness is extra bad (like San Francisco) tech companies including Amazon are the primary cause of housing inflation. I don’t see that it’s a stretch nor agree that anyone else coming to this conclusion is a crazy dumb idiot.
> in fact, I’d think you’ll find those things are negatively correlated — the USSR and Mao’s China had no billionaires, but boy did people go hungry!
Using other countries with other economic systems that had unique problems and no longer exist doesn’t have anything to say about why homelessness is increasing in the US today, this is pure straw man.
Yamaha engineer here. The product naming system always irritates me. When I ask around why this is the case, the answer is consistently "We have a wide range of products".
Quick, someone make an online quiz that tells you Yamaha product names and you have to guess whether it’s a motorcycle or an instrument!
Start easy (e.g DX7 as first question) and make it progressively more difficult.
Throw in one question where the only options are instrument or motorcycle, but the real answer is industrial robot. Then apologize for the trick question and promise not to do that again. Three questions later, do it again. But then after that only do the real questions.
When showing the correct answer for each product, show a picture of what it looks like.
When calculating score, exclude the two trick questions. Ask 10 real questions total and 2 trick questions. The maximum score is 10/10. Calculate score on backend, not on front end. Only reveal the correct answer for each question after user has submitted response to the question. If a user submits the correct answer for one of the trick questions (not possible with UI, but can be done by the user if they send the correct answer in the POST request), they get a bonus point. With bonus points the max score possible is 12/10.
There is no indication in the data sent to user agent that industrial robot is a possible answer. The following are the valid responses that the backend will deserialize when checking each question: motorbike, musical-instrument, industrial-robot. Only the options “motorbike” and “musical-instrument” show up in the choices available to user agent. In the response when user answers the trick questions, it will show in the data the serialized value “industrial-robot” along with human readable name “Industrial Robot”.
But seriously, Im done with Internet of Shit, AI this, shitcoin that. I'm done with this future. It blows.
I want my 1990's new, young, unprofitized raw internet back. And unconnected cars, appliances that arent spyware terminals, anti-user computers named "phones". Im done with all the anti-human shit, all just to extract a few more cents per person, at scale.
The only way to hit an investor where it hurts is to refuse to do what they think is profitablr. That means looking at management, as a collective of people who can do the eork, and saying "no, I won't do that".
We now return you to your normally scheduled rendition of "Iterated Prisoner's Dilemna".
