Also check out Stride3d https://github.com/stride3d/stride, which is a more full featured engine built on (i believe) Monogame. Runs on .net 10

Yeah I think Unity just doesn't have the technical skillset anymore to make the migration to coreclr. It keeps getting delayed and their tech leads keep dropping out.

Might I suggest https://github.com/stride3d/stride, which is already on .net 10 and doesn't have any cross-boundary overhead like Unity.

its incredibly stupid to believe general intelligence is just a series of computations that can be done by a computer. The stemlords on the west coast need to take philosophy classes.

Stride3d engine (https://www.stride3d.net/features/#graphics) has something kinda of similar; it allows writing in shaders in (nearly)c# and having them compile to GLSL

> For example those with genotypes that produce black skin predictably score lower on average on an IQ test

This is also nazi garbage. IQ isn't a real thing.

Gimme a break. Compare China's centralized economy's solar/wind/nuclear production to the entirety of the west's decentralized, privatized economy. not even close.

cool now compare the population difference.

In order to build renewable infrastructure, you do need to expend a lot of energy: mining, processing, transporting. China is using coal to build up that infrastructure and converting that dirty energy into clean.

Try out Stride3d. Sorta like Unity, but pure c# engine and much better architecture.

makotech221 — Thu, 22 Aug 2024 02:03:03 +0000

Very amusing that after decades of warnings about microplastics, there haven't been any studies to move beyond the point of 'maybe they cause issues'. We can all only assume that they do, of course, because any normal society not entirely captured by capital would allocate money to research this topic thoroughly. The fact that we haven't means that they know it causes issues but it would be costly to do cleanup.

usually performance reasons; don't want to allocate on the heap, contributing to GC pressure, or you want pass by copy semantics

So when the AI picks a school to be airstriked, hundreds of kids killed, we can all throw our hands up and say "oh it must've been a bug or something in the code" and dust our hands off. The banality of evil, truly.
