The Optane drives are super niche, but I can see where that niche could exist. The Optane memory is just baffling. Original design goal: "It will be within a magnitude of speed of modern memory. It will also be non-wearing. There will be some price premium." - Hell yes, I'm on-board all the way. Delivered: "Well, it's faster than traditional SSD drives. It wears, but, it wears slower than SSDs. Same price premium. Here's a space ship." - Nevermind, dude. "We're making memory sticks." - Stop calling me. https://i.imgur.com/D8YXqrk.mp4 XK fucked around with this message at 19:08 on Jun 1, 2018 |

Zaphod42 posted:These people are honestly MORE deluded than scientologists. No, they're AS deluded. You can't get more deluded than pinning your hopes and dreams on a single person, living or dead. Network Bind Culling, fast becoming my favourite thing, is nearly done. What does the site say about this? "This work aims to help improve performance in multiplayer by cutting down the number of entities that exist on clients. Entities too far from a player will be removed from the local client, and when the player moves or the server otherwise detects new entities entering the player's range they will be added to the client. Because clients will then only consider updating entities that are near to them the overall CPU load will be reduced and performance should improve." Seems reasonable, right? Except CPU isn't the bottleneck that you have to watch out for here, it's streaming in however many entities are within range, so when you navigate to your beacons, you're going to have a delay as all the containers within range update. They actually made this worse by using specific exit points, which makes me think that they're gonna do grid from a known 0,0,0.

XK posted:The Optane memory is just baffling. There's a model for something like a persistant non-volatile DB server; current SAN arrays tend towards the volatile and warming them up can take time, but it's kinda vertical. Intel is using the dim but richer gamer demographic to make the R&D less costly. As you said, they've come up with a slow SSD but the convergence of memory and storage has been a long time coming. I'll pass until it's no longer proprietary.

Hav posted:the convergence of memory and storage has been a long time coming. Absolutely, but Optane isn't it, not even close. Like, what are they going to be? 32GB Optane sticks?  It doesn't make any sense until the tech bakes in the oven for a lot longer, and there's no guarantee the tech will ever mature. It could very well be dead end. It's pretty telling that they're shoveling the tech at a video game promotion, and I'm seeing no other talk about it.

Convergence _will_ happen, it's just quite far apart at the moment and they've created the worst of both worlds. This will not be the first time or the last time Intel produce a pup, and I think we've established the credibility of the gamer crowd over the past couple of years.

I've been a long time observer of David Cage's games. Usually terrible games, pure cinematic, with all but zero traditional gameyness to them. I'm watching a few let's plays of Detroit: Become Human. Still early on in what I'm watching, but, is David Cage almost doing it this time? There's still quite a bit to go on making a truly engaging pure cinematic game, but, I'm impressed. I think my point is, even a David Cage game is going to make Chris Roberts' cinematic game efforts look like grade school garbage.

XK posted:What the gently caress ever happened to memristors? They're more of a philosophy than anything else. Last I heard was a CMOS variant about 6 years ago with some interesting straying into biological versions; theoretically 3D X-point should be better in the long run, but it's still the really early days for high density memory. I have a really passing relationship with hardware, so someone will hopefully correct my poo poo. I have a 10Mb MFM drive I keep around to remember where we've come from. People forget that they used to take up two bays. Bubble Memory was the one that cratered really quickly, because of the physical issues with 'being moved about'.

And yes, it appears to be occlusion culling, but connected with the concept of streaming less detail to the container AND the scaling changes that they've probably made to stuff a space map into a shooter. it's why I take the piss. big nipples big life posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0t0uCWjQ6Og Please, never play Heavy Rain, just read the plot.

You know, the one where we soon have to figure out a more apt and telling simile than “clear as mud” to really convey the informational quality of what's being said.

Another game that was mostly tech demo. big nipples big life posted:Just watch a tv show or movie you like and press a button on your controller every now and then. It was less that than the extended home invasion scene where our heroine has to fight off a masked intruder that was not pulling punches. It's a very long time to examine other exposition that could have created a similar level of tension without punching a girl in the face over and over. Or that you were the murderer all along! Tada! Didn't see that loving coming, did you? signed, David Cage. I can only assume that Detroit is the convergence of insanity and a relatively sane process of publishing if it's actually making sense.

Daztek posted:This is a pretty neat read They're missing ground effect; Hovercraft aren't simply a thruster, they provide a cushion of air that reduces surface friction to '0', it's why they're so fun in the corners and usually require leaning to bleed the skirts. This is the same thing that the Caspian sea monster uses, although it's a variant called 'Wing in ground'. Lift is enhanced if you're within half a winglength of the surface.  It was basically designed to ferry tanks and provide mild arty cover with fixed mount rockets in keeping with the cold war Blitzkreig that was the counter to NATOs 'nuke it 'til it glows' plan.
