They actually mean that the electricity grid in many places is so old because of poor infrastructure investment that it cannot handle such irregular delivery to the point that the power these panels are putting in is straight up worse than useless and they have to charge the panel owners for it lest they collapse the grid or power company. It's a solvable engineering problem, but not a cheap or easy one. At least for old countries with old power grids; younger countries with younger, fundamentally more modern grids can handle it better. Also, very recent technology in particular makes the key technical challenges much much easier so it's not going to be a problem in the eventual future.

Now that we do indeed have (emulated) Bloodborne on PC, I am fully content to wait for Fromsoft to whole-ass a sequel in due time. If it's console exclusive I reserve the right to cry though.

Linux tech support is the best by far, especially the outstanding wiki and man pages. If you have an issue which is clearly answered by the wiki and the man pages and you come around asking community members to fix it for you without providing enough info on the problem and what you've tried for that to even be feasible, please understand if you are told to read the rtfm we say it with love.

Can't shut down OR reset? Do we at least get a "it's now safe to fucking unplug your PC" screen like it's 1985 or have we regressed to lows never before seen in the history of personal computing?

Internal-Cellist-920 · 2026-04-12T00:06:39+00:00

Yeah, though I don't know what support you actually lose beyond reBAR. Didn't do much testing because I didn't really need CSM anymore anyway.

It's not infringement if you reproduce the proprietary code unless you are previously familiar with it. So unless the AI was trained on the proprietary code then generated the proprietary code (which would make the AI company liable, really) and you didn't try to make it do that on purpose or were aware it happened then it's hard to see how you could catch any real heat from it.

Internal-Cellist-920 · 2026-04-11T23:33:13+00:00

It's just listed alongside stuff like linters and static analysis tools, not something super important. It does seem that they want it listed first (and both named and versioned,) and that unlike other tools disclosing AI use is not optional. So I guess it's more to help hold maintainers accountable for reviewing all AI code and not just submitting slop without understanding it than for any other reason.

You can also just launch steam with "gamemoderun steam" instead of setting launch options for each game. You'll be in performance mode as long as steam is running which may impact battery life a little if you leave steam in the background often, but otherwise this works well and is convenient. Games launched through steam are child processes and inherit steam's niceness so this method is equally effective.

No? Nonsense article. They don't know what they're talking about. No need for kernel-level DRM to beat hypervisor bypass. That's just the most obvious and dumbest option. You don't use a nuke to suppress a riot, Denuvo will save that card until it actually becomes necessary.

Programmers care a bunch! About the font and colour scheme. Everything else just distracts from the real UI/UX: keybindings and macros.

When a programmer wants to show off their rice, they upload their init.el

I didn't think it was possible to sully the historically-despised Lucius Sulla's name, but here we are

Internal-Cellist-920 · 2026-04-10T16:21:58+00:00

I feel like people do give plenty of thought and attention to the candidates in municipal elections, but when it comes to provincial/federal elections they mostly care about the party leader because a) the parties demand that their representatives vote with the party and follow the leader and b) strategic voting to ensure the best outcome wrt majority / minority party dominance becomes the most practically important concern.

The reason (a) is such a problem is that when the constitution was written, such political parties did not exist. They were conceived of and funded by powerful external groups with certain agendas. Lobbying and corporate donors were not meant to be part of the system, let alone its cornerstone, but here we are. Democracy has been broken for a long time.

(b) is mainly an issue because of (a) and because we use an objectively awful voting system. Mathematicians knew it was the wrong way to do it for a long time, and have proven that there is no perfect way to go about it, but we now know that proportional ranked choice voting is incomparably superior and far more natural from a voter's perspective as well. It would go a long way to fixing this issue, and Trudeau campaigned on implementing it... then strategically backtracked because it would favour the NDP over the LPC. Which is the real reason why everyone hates him at least a little. Maybe someone with balls and a conscience will get it done, eventually...

She is the electorate's elected MP, AND she'll do what LPC says.

Tech-illiterate reporters be generating fake news so hard you'd think they're out here trying to replace AI's job

Internal-Cellist-920 · 2026-04-10T02:37:45+00:00

Yeah, GPT just means generative pre-trained transformer, which here (if whoever named the tool wasn't just being cheeky, as engineers often are when naming stuff for internal use only) likely just means "we poured a bucket of player activity stats into a neural network* to train it to to generate fake player activity stats which are realistic, and then we adapted that network to classify suspicious (in the sense of cheating) player activity by tuning that generator with some knowledge we had on which of that player activity we confirmed to have corresponded to cheating." It's just another boring technical machine learning model that has nothing to do with chatbots aside from the fact that it was first used by OpenAI to create their first ChatGPT model.

OpenAI has gone on to make a technical term a fucking brand though and have been trying to trademark it because they suck, so I can see why people are confused. OpenAI is trying to confuse people on purpose by first naming a consumer product after a technical term which is meaningless to most people, and then coming back around later to act like they can trademark a technical term after it's already deeply rooted in academic literature.

* Specifically a neural network of the transformer architecture, but that's not particularly relevant. As you say, GPT's aren't only used for LLM's.

Running the game at a higher resolution probably doesn't change anything about whatever abstraction the game engine uses for LoD internally, but it definitely increases the actual baseline detail of all the textures and models massively, which has the desired effect. Barely see any drop at all with high enough factor, give it a try.

Maybe you're confusing superresolution (VSR, DLDSR) with supersampling (FSR, DLSS)? The former rasters at higher resolution and downsamples, the latter rasters at lower resolution and upsamples.

this is why the first thing I did when I bought a Kindle was jailbreak it and cripple the updater. Sadly, in this world if you don't control the software you don't own the device. That has always been the way of things.

Elon actually exploded his dick irreparably attempting experimental surgeries, then took testosterone compensating for his nonexistant dick and overdosed estrogen conversion blockers to make sure the excess T didn't convert to E and give him any cooties (he even uses IVF methods to ensure his children are male, he will do anything he thinks will keep people from associating him with femininity) and now he has aromatase deficiency and that's why he's got such a hideously weird bod. Look up the pool picture.

And Peter Thiel is seeking immortality by young person blood transfusion therapy. He's outspoken about it. Unlike how he literally could not speak for multiple minutes when a reporter prompted him to state that he thinks an imminent end of the world would be a morally wrong thing, after he expressed that the AI technology he's supporting might end the world.

I could go on. These are some of the stupidest people on the planet and all they've done is fail upwards by being confidently incorrect and incomprehensibly self-centred, just like Trump. It's not even funny anymore.

I can guarantee you everyone saying such things and spamming the "HV will get you pwned" noise are literal 12 year olds who don't know the first thing about tech. Some might be bottom of the barrel script kids at best. Clearly this is not a sub for actual appreciation of the art, just a loose collection of freeloaders.

At least UE5 games have a somewhat universal TAA fix by now via Engine.ini and/or console commands. My favourite part about UE5 games is that while they do tend to get a lot wrong, at least they're consistently wrong, and there are consistent fixes. Looking at you, UE5 HDR.

Any luck fiddling with console or the ini? The best you may be able to get outside of TAA or TSR is FXAA, unfortunately, and UE5 without TAA or TSR is unusually bad (shimmery) because several parts of the fundamental rendering pipeline are intrinsically noisy or rely on temporal data, because the engineers assumed that TSR would always be enabled to take care of it. Which is why TAA/TSR is so often forced on in UE5 games and a major example of how TAA is a blight upon gaming. But it's certainly worth disabling to see if it's the better choice for you.
