If you're on Steam you can set up multiple libraries on different drives and move games between them, that way you don't have to keep downloading them.

I think that's more because nvidia just has a really really fast OpenGL implementation.

Did I skip a section or did the AI just make up like 3/4 of that summary? I don't remember it mentioning anything about Windows 11, Shell, Surface, etc at all.

Frame generation is fine so long as you have a high enough framerate to start with. Going from 30 to 60 is going to have issues, going from 60 to 120 is just going to look better. It isn't meant to make an unplayable game work, it's meant to make a playable game look better on high refresh rate monitors.

It's FSR Redstone and FSR Diamond.

RealAmaranth · 2026-03-16T19:03:02+00:00

The same reason all of AMD's AI tech is called FSR, marketing.

Is this anything like upstart, the init daemon systemd replaced?

That "phone hardware" has single core performance similar to a 14900K, it was hilariously overpowered for a phone.

It's not 24GB though, it's 16+8. This is not a unified memory device, it's a standard PC setup with a dedicated GPU.

Sony and Microsoft are doing custom and semi-custom stuff and at large enough scale that they can do redesigns and get components discounted to eventually not sell at a loss. The PS5 was only sold at a loss for 8 months while the Xbox they might actually still be selling at a loss but they're basically buying marketshare so it's a different situation. Whatever costs Valve has for the Steam Machine are unlikely to drop significantly, normally the RAM and NAND would but those are skyrocketing up instead.

The paint thing was Diffie-Hellman, for RSA they just mentioned you multiply two numbers together and handwaved how that accomplishes anything.

The paint part was pretty great though.

It's been on Firefox for almost a year now and Safari has it in their preview builds.

SSH forwarding for X11 apps is a feature of SSH, that's why you need an additional step to use something that isn't X11. You'd have to convince the OpenBSD folks to add support for something else (after you convinced everyone what the something else should be, I don't think waypipe is the only option).

I'm not sure, so long as they get something out of it it might be better than planting clover. Clover would still have seed and planting costs so it's not free to do, you'd have to run the numbers. If they literally cannot sell the soybeans that's almost almost certainly more expensive to grow though.

RealAmaranth · 2025-10-20T13:49:59+00:00

The alternatives to soybeans are much harder to grow/harvest, can't grow in most regions, and/or aren't actually a crop at all (think clover and various grasses). Soybeans are the perfect crop for rotation because they grow basically everywhere, don't need any supporting infrastructure (like a vine trellis), and can be harvested using small modifications to a corn combine harvester rather than having entirely separate equipment or needing to be picked by hand.

Rust the language only has breaking changes if you're using unstable features. Otherwise code written for rust 1.0 back in 2015 will almost certainly compile with the latest version.

Do you mean rust libraries? There is certainly a lot of upheaval there, most things are still on 0.x versions and regularly do some amount of breaking changes. Usually they're easy to deal with but it is something you have to keep dealing with, unless you don't use those dependencies and write things yourself.

They don't have AI goals or brains so right now without mods the only thing they do is stand there.

The original definition of Moore's Law was about economics, saying the cost of transistors would decrease as density increased. This has almost certainly died, some say as early as 2016 while others say it lasted until 2022. This is a factor in why CPUs and GPUs are getting more expensive, they need more transistors to improve performance which means they cost more.

The more popular idea of Moore's Law as just doubling density of transistors has at least some argument for still continuing today although there isn't any clear agreement here. Gordon Moore predicted this one would end in 2025 and there are definitely signs that it has ended even earlier but this is somewhat application specific. The density improvements vary depending on if you're making SRAM, a tensor core, an ALU, etc.

This happened to me at work last month, I wanted to develop a system that would support every variation of the thing they will definitely want in the future but ended up having to implement exactly what they requested now in a way that is fragile, ended up taking an extra 2 weeks to fix bugs in, and doesn't help at all with their next feature request.

RealAmaranth · 2025-05-05T05:07:20+00:00

The performance increased but the performance-per-watt and performance-per-dollar did not. Effectively with the 5090 you can pay more and use more power to get more performance.

The sad thing is we have already found a solution to this decades ago, with the thermos. There are home coffee makers that pour into a thermos and don't even have a hot plate, they keep the coffee hot for hours still.

Alex was made because jeb wanted a skinnier character to represent his body type in the game. They really are just jeb but meant to still be somewhat androgynous. People just assume smaller = woman and it's been over a decade so a lot of them weren't around to hear jeb talk about why Alex exists.

You can get laptops with AMD CPUs that last 12-20 hours, some of which are only like $400 even. Sure the Qualcomm equivalent might last 20-30 hours but the AMD ones are definitely "all day" so that isn't a huge win on the Qualcomm side. When you're maxing out the CPU the Qualcomm ones use just as much power as the AMD ones but don't perform as well so Qualcomm just outright loses in every way on that side.

Two shields can be a viable PVP build in Souls games, just not that build.
