in early games it was a metod to save RAM too, for a short time but it did. Because you didn't have to store all mip map parts in the RAM
Re:I spent €200 on Google Ads so you won't have to on Friday January 12, 2024 @05:20PM (#38974918)
My pleasure. There's a lot of interesting things in that industry. For example ads are mostly clicked by babies

The competition is not against current bidders, but also against historical bidders and averages. It means that even if no one is competing for a ad place, you play against virtual bidders.

That's one reason why ads are so expensive, maximizing bids by companies with high LTV causes bidding to be too expensive for bidders that didn't max out LTV in terms of very wide market.

It's especially troubling because impression campaigns also max out bids.

All in all having a good ROAS is not trivial for conversion based campaigns

Re:OpenAI responds to NYT lawsuit, says 'regurgitation' of content is ... on Monday January 08, 2024 @05:30PM (#38919226)
I've asked OpenAI chatbot about building a complicated commercial system that processes copyrighted data in a way that attribution is lost and authors are not compensated.

The chatbot told me it doesn't mean copyright laws are lifted and the authors should be compensated and attributed.

Their own system is against them on this one

The issue is complicated. So far there's no proof for Newag involvement. It's very different to how security researchers publish their results. All is based on hearsay.

A lot of popular services available today are built on the idea that you have to turn normal people into addicts.

It seems to work. So there's nothing to be done currently. The paradigm shift will take a lot of time.

Or the paradigm won't change and ppl like you and me will just stay away from such services as far as possible.
