They implemented ray tracing everywhere without DLSS so they should already have powerful servers

They have a trick: every time you sleep, they reboot to avoid memory leaks.

It also allows them to optimize in the background.

I'd imagine they save the state intermittently and can boot it back up if needed. Depends on how valuable this sim is I guess.

It's proven by scientists that information is never lost so you don't really need backups /s

Not very, I'm here

So the universe is a trans allegory?

We live in The Matrix. The Matrix is a trans allegory.

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Simulation theory doesn't equal The Matrix.

[–] Glytch@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I was just explaining what they were saying because you expressed confusion.

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 0 points 1 day ago

Oh yeah I wasn't really confused, I just meant to make the point that simulation theory != Matrix. Matrix is A simulation, but simulation theory doesn't necessitate that we all have real bodies in a "real world". In fact, I think the matrix version of the simulation is less likely, as it would be more complex to achieve, at least in our reality. In simulation theory, if the simulation stops and is deleted, there may well be literally nothing left of us. That's not a trans allegory, that's an existential crisis

Imagine talking about simulation theory with that much certainty.

the universe disappears

Yeah? Is that how it works?

[–] Unbecredible@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 day ago

Imagine, instead, a joke. Cause that's what's going on here. There's no chance that this guy is serious and seriously thinks he knows the particulars of how a universal simulation is being implemented.

[–] Lucky_777@lemmy.world 0 points 2 days ago

Nah, they got the pay as you go model. No way they end the sim, they have to see the end.

isn't there a hard limit on what even a perfect telescope (photon receptor of some kind) can see, based on the speed of light? it's fuckin huge like 900 billion light years or something, but the universe is probably bigger than we could ever actually measure.

speaking through the fractal of conciousness given to me by what we refer to as "god" or the universal conciousness, for a brief second.

yall need to stop, just enjoy eating fresh fruit and chill the fuck out. maybe go fishing or something. also war is fake n'd gei. trump is on the epstein files (shocker, i know) and all of your politicians are merely a buffer for the ruling elite class, the ones you refer to as oligarchs, corporate leaders, tech bros, etc. id like to say you could handle this with words, but nope. they are mentally ill psychopathic pedophiles, rapists, and mass murderers, and the only cure for entrenched corruption like this is death. kill them, or they will eventually kill all life on earth.

on the bright side, the current living generations are the last ones who will be able to enjoy the literal fruits of the world that dont come from a can, or are made in a lab. the actual last living generation will be doing a lot of cannibalism and fighting for the shadows of what you currently consider rights and privileges, all for naught.

unless you buck up, and start killing them. this is your future.

fun to watch/experience either way, for me at least. god/universal conciousness......out!

huh...... that was weird...... i suddenly have a great and overwhelming feeling of grief, terror, and anger.

ill just go play some video games and jerk off. that usually gets my mind off of things...

There is so much to unpack here….

False. Time dilation is already implemented and likely proportional to exceeding processing ability. At worst we'll tick so slow that every moment is eternity.

Relax, they're just staring at the skybox.
