It has been a LONG time since I did any real math and never took statistics, but wouldn’t x^(-1) just be 1/(x)? I don’t know if that equates to “everything that isn’t x”. I feel like there’s a specific way to write that, but a negative exponent is not that, I don’t think, but also I have no idea.

I looked it up. Looks like this stuff is maybe from set theory? Which I sooorrrrt of remember doing at some point?

My best guess is your professor either said something from this, or you misremembered, or I’m totally off base and I’m still curious.

FUCKING GOOD.

STOP BUILDING EVIL SHIT.

Oh no don’t buy it, it’s shitty and definitely don’t sign up it’s too expensive and not worth it ahhh

That’s just what a bot would say to get us to continue interacting with it!

Fundamental computer hardware like cpu/gpu wafers and the stuff that goes into RAM is EXTREMELY hard to make at all, let alone at any remotely competitive level. And the people currently running it in the world have had a LOT of time to get VERY good at it.

Instead of tens of billions, you’d need hundreds of billions just to get started. Plus, Valve probably doesn’t want to try to compete and then get destroyed by one of those companies, essentially killing themselves in the process. They probably generally want to just stay in their lane and not overextend. They just started supporting a brand new entire operating system now, and that’s probably enough, for now. Maybe in the future if everything is really successful?

I think the same thing happened with all the first gen versions of the prototype steam machines, back then, too.

Revolution? What revolution? Against who? Take things one step at a time, this is a game dev we’re talking about. A successful one that now has the best digital storefront in the world, but still, a game dev. Not rhetorical questions, btw, I’m genuinely curious which revolution against who (and how) you mean.

And actually dealing with scalpers better for the the next product release. Like, who actually does that? Nobody.

Yeah we can only hope it’s going to be better, each type has their pros and cons, but Valve is also known to innovate, so… Cross your fingers I guess

Fuck you this is my idea

You forget your /s? (I also want to be crushed so bad)

We wouldn’t want them to run out of money… Or life, would we?

Apparently the thumbsticks were actually shite? Mine never went out, but I’ve heard from other people.

I think what sanpo meant was the actual tracking of the headset and controllers, since the index used base stations PLUS accelerometers, giving them VERY precise location and movement. Whereas the frame controllers seem to be only inside-out optical, maybe with accelerometers?

We will have to wait and see. With them being better or worse than the index, we’ll have to wait and see. I’m still excited.

The entire index kit was 1000 before all the bullshit… iirc, you could buy just the headset for like 650, because the base stations were like 100 each and the controllers were separate too. My memory is a little fuzzy on that… But let’s say 1000 for all of it. Putting the frame, with all extras at like… 800 target price point before all the fascism scarcities, and considering the about price-doubling of ram, would put it at right about the same price as the steam machine? Maybe if they were targeting 600, it might be like 1000 now?

Doubt

Is cool and good. Valve isn’t fucking you and they aren’t giving you a handout. Prices of computer parts are bad across the board and likely only going to get worse.

I really don’t get why people are hating on it so much. Maybe it’s reality sinking in, that all the whining of sjws really does matter? Is this the MUH GAS PRICES argument but for gamers? Fuck AI. Fuck Nazis.

Just ban AI already

Mmm yesss, don’t sign up… You don’t want to…

No I want to pay a little less and have it be a government AI spying machine and tied to only meta’s software and ecosystem./s

It’s all consequential to me. Nothing is without rhyme or reason and it is all interconnected.
