It's capitalism. Nobody wants to take risks anymore because game development is a huge industry now with many investors who demand their developers play it safe and make sure it has mass appeal. Then even the indies (those who view game dev primarily as a business) see that what the big guys are doing "works" so now they strive to do the same because otherwise there would be no way for them to stay competitive. Only game devs who view making games as a fun thing to do and don't even really think about the industry or the current market can make good games. Which are a small minority at this point, because capitalism favors the former.
I feel the same. I only play very few games anymore for this reason. Most of the games I play are very niche because they at least try to be unique. Like Fates of Ort or Dust Riser for example. I also tend to play a lot of open source re-implementations like OpenRCT2, OpenMW or Augustus (Caesar III).
Game stores are flooded with crap that tries to appeal to the widest possible audience, which makes it really difficult to find actually good games. Even most Indies only produce slop. Nintendo used to make really interesting games back in the day. Still have my GameBoy and 3DS with some of my favorite games, so at least I can still enjoy those.
Bummer, I thought he put up a 24/7 livestream. Anyone know a good stream of KCTV? kctv_elufa got banned on twitch. I know of chuo_tv but after a few days their stream just showed "NO SIGNAL", went offline and hasn't come back since.
Finally they can go where their Itanium shit already lies.
These machines are probably on their national intranet at most with no connection to the Internet. Still it's weird. Whenever I watch KCTV and they show computer labs all of the PCs run some version of Win 7. Same with images they show on Voice of Korea. I have yet to see RedStarOS or GNU/Linux in general on DPRK media.
Good point, I didn't think of that! Either way, I'm quite happy to see more general purpose RISCs emerge. At this point I'm just really sick of dealing with Intel's CISC crap lol.
There are chinese companies making RISC-V chips and machines: https://milkv.io/pioneer
I get the impression that LoongArch has more priority because they fully own that ISA which means foreign entities such as the US Empire can have 0 impact on it. If something happens to RISC-V that could put China at a disadvantage they still have LoongArch. If they go all in on RISC-V they could easily get fucked or bullied into submission, that's my view anyways.
There are some boards on AliExpress but they're all the older ones. I would not buy one right now though they're a bit expensive for what they are. I'd wait for at least another year.
Because they can't take the thought that a bunch of godless commies might be surpassing them.
I have a similar theory. All "AIs" used right now are really just giant matrices that you multiply vectors against. It's the same concept that's used in computer graphics all the time, that's why GPUs are so good for training and running them. To me a more "real" intelligence would need to grow and develop on its own completely organically without any human input and not be just a math problem. It would have to be dynamic and fluid much like a real brain. Neurons would need to function more like individual entities and behave like real neurons rather than just items in an array that get used in simple floating point operations. If you can express any core part of an "AI" as a simple function it's not really an AI.
Note that I'm not an expert, I just spent a some years experimenting with different types and combinations of conventional Neural Networks, reading research papers and eventually came to the conclusion that they're a dead end due to their static nature. This realization actually made me lose interest in "AI" because these things are really just "smart" input mappers that can take well educated "guesses" of what the output might be.
