kinda… graphics all end up as polygons eventually but 3d tile rendering has a lot of different considerations and limitations you don’t have with rendering a normal 3d asset rendering. check out things like CesiumJS that is an equivalent kind of technology

it’s not the same. 3d games use polygons and shaders and whatnot. you can optimize things much easier in that space since it’s a lot more computational. 3d tiling is literally a bunch of png files being streamed down.

3d terrain tile streaming takes a crazy amount of data. it essentially downloads hundreds of png files at a time and overlays them over 3d terrain data. Everytime you move an inch or pan the camera, it pulls down new data.

pretty fucked up right

fuck u/spez

did not expect Nevada to ban tatas

op mentioned the context is situations where firearms are used. so pretty sure they meant useful as a self defense method and not useful as a way of exercise

I still think about that terrible day. once harambe passed, the world fell apart.

can we stop using Taylor Swift as a spokesperson for all young women? like I’m all for her as a pop singer, but the media gives that billionaire too much clout as a representative of all young women. can’t we just say young women speak for themselves without it requiring a billionaire woman to illustrate something for them?

this city doesn’t even let you buy booze on Christmas

100%

little known fact, bat spelled backwards is tab and that was the influence for the Tab key on the computer keyboard because you can bat backwards

what if you don’t even know what that stuff is or how to use it even if it were available?

what if you like the feature and are okay with just using it while you can?

who even buys their phones from their carriers these days?

hope this doesn’t impact the price of an Uber. they’re already unaffordable as is

think of it as TurboTax free file made by the government and that’s it lol theyre a bit more than just PDFs online. theyve specifically said they’re making another option on the market alongside existing products. but they’re specifically NOT undercutting other existing technology.

Don’t

well the difference is that the government won’t go oops you traded a stock, so you need to use premium for $120 and also shove sales and dark patterns in your face to trick you into buying premium. most others that were free usually charged to file state taxes or something or another too. definitely a win for the average joe, but it’s not the process that people are imagining. the IRS has pretty directly said that they are providing another option to people and not making other services obsolete.
