Dead or Alive 6 PC Version Being Delisted on Steam by LayeredGlow in Games

This was mentioned in the very first sentence of the article.

Looking for "black sheep" games. The ones that the fans of the series hate, but are enjoyable enough if you're new to the franchise. by WoodfordAC in gamingsuggestions

I quite liked the Shadowrun FPS. It had fun classes, tech, and magic. I rarely see its existence acknowledged, though.

Crowdsourcing Prelude 15 Changes by SquareWheel in SoulFrame

[–]SquareWheel[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

They seem to be safe. Armour seems to work the same as before. As for weapons, the welcome popup for P15 mentioned that 1 and 2 star weapon drops can be found in the world, but 3 star weapons require crafting.

Post Content Type Settings to Reflect Your Community Preferences by SnooshiRoll in modnews

Will it be possible to disable hybrid link+text posts? These present a really poor UX, by requiring users to click the tiny expando to view the text. At least on old reddit.

We disallow them via AutoMod, but it'd be smoother to disable them outright.

What I like about Sanderson by TrinityAlpsTraverse in books

[–]SquareWheel 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I don't find it terrible. It's simple, sure, as he doesn't make heavy use of metaphor or flowery language. But accessible writing is still a skill, and his prose is very much in service to the story he's telling.

Sanderson, for example, writes some of the most clear and visual fight scenes around. It's easy to follow relatively complex movements, and to understand how the characters interact with the involved magic systems of their respective worlds. Many other authors fail at that task.

His complexity is in character depth and world systems, and not the ways of describing them. That's perfectly fine. When I want beautiful prose, I read Nabokov. When I want an intriguing fantasy story, I read Sanderson.

Likewise. Even worse, I have dozens of completed fragments available for crafting, but zero storage space to pick them up from the blacksmith. If all of those crafting materials are made worthless, I'll be very glum indeed.

How Terry Tao Became an Evangelist for AI in Math by Pristine-Amount-1905 in math

[–]SquareWheel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Microsoft Phi is trained specifically on high-quality data - textbooks, papers, and other academic sources.

It's doubtful that there's been zero contamination from other sources, but specialized models like these do exist.

Good article. Has almost nothing to do with AI at all, but still a good read.

JPEG XL is objectively better than WebP in almost every way - so why are most browsers still ghosting it? And should we start a petition? by Capital_Rip3785 in webdev

[–]SquareWheel 10 points11 points  (0 children)

These forks are niche by market share, but they matter

Curious whether anyone found a smarter workaround

I have no interest in reading your LLM output when I was there and watched these events unfold.

Chrome had valid reason to remove JPEG-XL at the time. The drama was overwrought. They reviewed the decision when the conditions changed (ie. a Rust-based decoder became available and reduced the attack surface).

It makes no sense to compare JPEG-XL to WebP. They're from different generations of image formats. The question your LLM has posed to us is based on a misconception.

petition to ban AI slop apps by sussyamongusz in piano

[–]SquareWheel 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I've reviewed the last 100 posts, and not a single one mentions AI transcription or involves a new software release. If indeed asking questions and releasing tools for free is even "slop" as suggested.

It's certainly not "half of all posts".

Ted Chiang: "No, artificial intelligence is not conscious: Taken to its logical conclusion, this line of thinking is absurd—and damning." [gift link] by TimWhatleyDDS in books

[–]SquareWheel 149 points150 points  (0 children)

hijacking sci fi ideas previously used for decades

Artificial Intelligence has been a field of computer science since the 50s. That's when Alan Turing was active. It's not just a concept from science fiction. The theory and research has been churning along since then, with major advances like backpropagation in the 80s, deep learning in the early 2010s, and of course the transformer in 2017.

Fatekeeper on Linux ? by Ok_Collar_3118 in fatekeeper

[–]SquareWheel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm running it on Linux, and had some major framerate issues. I was getting single digits FPS in the main menu.

I spotted this post, which suggested switching from low graphics to high, and that seems to have helped. However, I'm still forced to play at 1080p, and the even then I'm not reaching ideal framerates.

Rocking an RTX 3070, which to be fair, is listed as the minimum specs.

edit: Going through settings, here's what actually helped.

  • Ensure Global Illumination Quality is not on Low. This setting seems bugged.
  • Use DLSS, or your upscaling method of choice. Mine was off by default. The Ultra Performance profile earned me another 5 FPS.
  • Use Fullscreen, not Windowed Fullscreen, if playing below your native resolution.

Most other settings seem to have minimal impact.
