    I occasionally watch some travel videos and lately I've been getting a lot of videos of middle east countries on YouTube, I'm just curious why. I know there have been some new developments like the shebara resort and Ain Dubai. but is that the only reason?

    about Control, I just downloaded it because it was suggested to me recently, but it has really bad anti aliasing. like I can see aliasing everywhere. is this just how the game is ?

    also having a few other issues, if I use DX12 then the all textures are very low quality, switching to DX11 fixes this but DX11 has an even worse issue. the game starts fine but as soon as I move the mouse, the screen just goes black. searched online a bit and apparently this can be caused because of overclocking the GPU but I've never done that. couldn't find a good solution at the end. but atleast low quality textures are bearable, the aliasing however is really bothering me :( the settings only have MSAA upto 4x afaict

    Edit: forgot to mention I'm using the Epic version

  3. Looking for Backroom games with something to do in them other than walking

    For example, games like Superliminal (solving puzzles), The Stanley Parable (exploration) and the upcoming Subliminal.

    The backroom games I've looked at tend to be just about walking and walking and it gets really boring. I played the game called "Pools" and though I liked the aesthetic, I just got so bored because there wasn't anything to do at all other than just looking around and walking. any suggestions?

    I keep seeing this term but I have no idea what it means ?

    and what does it actually mean in practice. for example, what it can actually do, it seems to only be used for algorithms and such. not personal computing. I assume I don't understand because I'm unfamiliar with Quantum mechanics

    it doesn't have to be an alternative to wikipedia, it can be it's own thing. the really cool thing about wikipedia is that the community can compile all the relevant details from different sources into one article. if AI can do it, it'd be nice. because a lot of the time, the information you need is scattered around different web pages, articles, comments on reddit etc. and about hallucinations, imo perplexity has reduced the hallucinations quite a bit, I think it's reliable enough. but again, it doesn't have to be a replacement for content written by humans, just sort of something to exist alongside it. and in fact, I think it'd be pretty efficient if not everyone is generating content on it, like imagine if used the best LLMs available now (e.g. GPT 5 with the highest reasoning effort with mixture of agents). basically quality over quantity. if done right, it could actually be higher quality than some of the "educational" websites

    The CSV was literally just pairs of questions and answers, like one column should contain questions and other the answers. the primary reason is I want to finetune is to customise the style of the response, I don't think I can finetune on my GPU with only 6 GB vram. and as I said in my post, I don't want anything complicated, just very simple fine-tuning, I don't even care if they train on my data as I wouldn't upload anything personal

    so Google's AI Studio used to have an option to finetune gemini flash for free by simply uploading a csv file. but it seems they have removed that option, so I'm looking for something similar. I know models can be finetuned on colab but the problem with that is it's way too complicated for me, I want something simpler. I think I know enough python to be able to prepare a dataset so that shouldn't be a problem.
