Last time I did this, I put the inserted elements into new layers and put some filters to generate some noise on these new layers (w/o applying it to the original picture) until it looked somewhat convincing. You might want to experiment with several methods to generate noise and their parameters (or even combine several of them). Also it can be handy to apply these effects to new effect layers on top of the layer(s) you want to adjust and then play around how you mix them.

Some routers even allow to block all internet access for a specific device which might be easier to set up

And a blockchain helps to solve which part of the problem? Some were working on mirroring all data to a git repository. In theory, that allows for easy access on all the data, versioning (with commits) and - through forks and merge requests - collaboration and distribution. Also git is a distributed repository that clones the whole history to your local drive.

But with the announcement of the cve foundation, I don’t know whether they will really import all the data in this git repository.

I should send a PR that applies the tariffs randomly and sometimes arbitrarily changes the numbers…

I might even make it so, that it calculates an import deficit by looking at how often your libraries are imported in the codebase of the projects, that the maintainers of your dependencies have vs. the number of imports your code has from them.

IIRC the team behind SMO is the team that made Donkey Kong Bananza. So… Either another team is responsible for a new 3D Mario, or it will take quite a while before we get another 3D Mario. So far, there’s no announcement for a new 3D Mario (yet).

But Donkey Kong Bananza looks dope. Also I like that Ceave Gaming video where he overanalyzes the Donkey Kong trailer and goes over all the bits that have been revealed so far https://youtu.be/xc_YjHqqTm0

I love it, when Devs anticipate that players might break their levels and reward them for it.

E.g. when I played Supraland, I had it happen several times, that I managed to get to places that were obviously not intended to be reachable - you know the drill: Low poly terrain, low res textures, holes in the terrain, invisible walls everywhere,… You keep exploring that wasteland, carefully managing to not fall of, go around a corner and… There’s a chest there waiting for you.

Or some of the coin stacks in Super Mario Odyssey, that you’ll never really see or collect, until you do some crazy trick jumps or so to get on top of $building.

IIRC the full reveal - and also why the game is titled Horizon Zero Dawn - is quite late. But I think the general theme, that those robots run on biomass is mentioned quite early, although not quite in the sense as it is portrayed in the reveal.

In general yes, but… that game is now 8 years old, has a successor AND a remaster. So… I don’t really think this is a spoiler anymore at this point.

I read this as they’re even generating the frames with AI:

The tech demo is part of Microsoft’s Copilot for Gaming push, and features an AI-generated replica of Quake II that is playable in a browser. The Quake II level is very basic and includes blurry enemies and interactions, and Microsoft is limiting the amount of time you can even play this tech demo

While Microsoft originally demonstrated its Muse AI model at 10fps and a 300 x 180 resolution, this latest demo runs at a playable frame rate and at a slightly higher resolution of 640 x 360. It’s still a very limited experience though, and more of hint at what might be possible in the future.

“We’ve talked about game preservation as an activity for us, and these models and their ability to learn completely how a game plays without the necessity of the original engine running on the original hardware opens up a ton of opportunity.”

No, I don’t think that you’re talking about preservation then. Not even game emulation. You’re talking about game hallucination.

At least we’re constantly told to be ready to act to reroll secrets, etc and try to automate the change/deployment of changed passwords and such.

Depending on the system you’re working with, this may still be a PITA, but at least we do have plans for even the “problematic” systems and we have probably done this a few times. Although maybe not at this scale, tbh.

So, imagining I were tasked to do that for $hyperscaler in “my” systems… I feel some dread, as even if everything is automated ä, there’s always something that doesn’t go as planned - but at least I know what can be done in which way and which timeframe is realistic (and which parts will be the most sensitive). If you do not have plans, well… Good luck. You’ll need it.

Ok, who of you guys is working with Oracle Cloud and has not yet rerolled all API/Access Keys, passwords and so on? And what company do you happen work for? ^Just asking for a friend^

German legalese has Verkehr as a reference to in Verkehr bringen which means put something on the market / put something on circulation.

But it’s hard to recognize /learn because

1. Verkehr almost(?) always means traffic outside of legalese and
2. There are also traffic laws, that also use Verkehr but really mean traffic

While technically correct, the word Verkehr here does not translate to traffic, but rather belongs to the compound Verkehrsgenehmigung which is roughly a trade permit for selling a plot of land or using it as a collateral on a loan.

Don’t worry, it’ll cum to your mind

May I press it?
