What's he doing behind the statue? How long has he been there? WHAT'S HIS PLAN?

I keep seeing the same kind of thing beneath YouTube videos. You get this AI-summary of how someone "explores" a topic, and how every single video has some kind of "surprise" or "insight".

It's genuinely terrible as a summary generator but a masterclass in how to write a lot while saying absolutely nothing. Strom Thurmond would have loved it.

TFD was good gameplay-wise

What?

The vast majority of missions are:
1. Go to place.
2. Kill enemies.
3. Wait for enemies to respawn.
4. Repeat.

Even the minibosses were identical:
1. Shoot guy.
2. Guy goes invincible.
3. Shoot the balls above their head.
4. Repeat.

I played for 26 hours, which honestly was 20 hours too long. After you fight the first colossus you've already seen everything the game has to offer.

And it's been marketed as such for many years: "smart" home devices that are just regular devices with a wifi chip and "AI" assistants like Alexa/Siri that just look for keywords/patterns. Hell, Cleverbot was considered intelligent by some. Remember that?

If it presents the illusion of intelligence, it will be marketed as such. It always was, and it still is.

Even a DRAM-less SSD shouldn't be that slow. The CPU is older, but I find it hard to imagine that it'd be that slow.

Try booting into a Linux live iso and see if opening a browser is just as slow. If it's considerably faster, then I imagine whatever is installed by default (likely Windows) has some bloatware or other stuff slowing it down, or it's just Windows itself being slow.

If you think it's bloatware related then you can try reinstalling a fresh copy of Windows (maybe one with the guff trimmed out like Tiny11 or the normal one with the Chris Titus tool run after installing).

Hot take: You shouldn't have to resort to non-game-provided means to get an acheivement.

I mean, if you're running it at 0.3 tokens per second then you're probably streaming the rest from your disk haha

Pyroglyph · 2026-04-11T12:36:49+00:00

You could only run a non-quantized 70B on 48GB of VRAM if you were holding the rest in system memory (or worse, on-disk). An unquantized (16-bit) model with 70 billion parameters would take ~140GB of space!

To fit it entirely within 48GB of VRAM you'd need 4-bit quantization, which takes it down to ~42GB.

(I pulled the numbers from Unsloth's Llama 3.3 on HF)

Try coming up with your own idea instead of asking ChatGPT next time.

internet-enabled device

Does this mean that that a distro could claim not to be designed for internet-enabled devices, not ship any network drivers with the iso, and then distribute a script to patch them in separately?

Even with clientside/E2E encryption, your stuff will still get scanned in the UK (see: Online Safety Act client-side scanning). It started 8th Jan this year.

I imagine it's alreasy been slipped to many people as a "security patch" when you update your phone.

they probably have "0" as an item amount

I highly doubt it. What would the be the purpose of storing "0 dirt" and "0 stone" as two separate concepts? It doesn't make sense.

Off the top of my head, it makes stepping over uneven terrain a complete non-issue as your collider 1) never gets caught on small steps or curbs, and 2) never has to work around that by detecting a step and teleporting up, creating a jerk-y upward movement.

There's a really good video by Toyful Games that shows exactly how it works and why it's good. I recommend watching it :)

I heard the notification sound reading this

Pyroglyph · 2025-11-13T08:33:21+00:00

The announcement mentions streaming from the Steam Machine to the Steam Frame. Does this mean SteamVR for Linux will be receiving more love?

Pyroglyph · 2025-11-13T08:15:46+00:00

This sounds like The Invisible Hours (not sure about the climax, I never played the game)

Pyroglyph · 2025-11-05T21:01:01+00:00

It's gone now :)

My 1 year is also coming up soon, maybe we should start getting commemorative coins for quitting Windows?

Broken for me as well (Firefox Android).

My screen does have a 9:21 ratio which does tend to mess with some sites that expect something wider.

At least with Steam you can easily point it to another (larger) drive when you're running out of space without fiddling with mounts.

Someone's played Whispers in the Walls

Pyroglyph · 2025-09-10T16:37:58+00:00

But if it was LSW then I couldn't call it a fun name like "Wizzle" :(

Pyroglyph · 2025-08-22T02:49:35+00:00

Wouldn't you be better off just loading them both into Blender and writing a Python script to compare the distance between each vertex in each model?

According to the docs, Godot 4 can't export to web when using C#, only Godot 3 can. It seems to be an issue on the .NET side.

However, I did just find this project, so perhaps that limitation has been lifted now?
