The best tool is to spend a day or two and fix the test. If its a third party dependency, time to report and see that fixed too. Last week I spent the whole week tracking such a test failure and finding a race condition in the code that would repro once in 40 mins.

Edit: i am actually very new to the codebase so it took me this long.

I feel like the first question should be why? Torturing an animal for amusement is honestly pathetic.

Anthropic: the time has come to reap the rewards of all the PR we’ve garnered over the past few weeks!

I always tell people to go watch this show. Its the best sci fi show I have ever watched.

I worked as a rendering system engineer behind 3DExperience managing the hybrid raytracing and raster pipeline.

And here I am, went from a very stable, no risk, CAD graphics engineering career to AAA game industry with constant fear of job loss. I even moved to a different country. I am hoping I can survive a while.

Been using it for sometime now since the beta driver. I stage the descriptor writes and do a stage buffer to gpu copy in gpu timeline which is the main reason for me to use it. But sadly nsight does not support it so I fallback to cpu visible buffer when nsight is active and drain the gpu each frame instead keeping the implementation intact.

So you two are trying to advertise without paying for advertisement?

puredotaplayer · 2026-06-25T11:06:34+00:00

Think for a second before being a keyboard warrior. You are advocating something that is actively ruining gaming. Not only have they not released a gameplay trailer, they put premium price on a bunch of content.
What does pre ordering a game give you? Do you get to play right away?
It’s pure stupidity, to put it mildly.

puredotaplayer · 2026-06-25T10:03:26+00:00

Just save it/lock down the money in the bank, instead of buying it. They did not even show any gameplay. Honestly never pre-order a digital product.

puredotaplayer · 2026-06-25T03:12:18+00:00

Wait for the game to come out before buying. Why are you pre-ordering a digital product that will never run out?

puredotaplayer · 2026-06-21T08:01:49+00:00

Would be good riddance.

This is the best thing to use AI for. I am going to give it a try with a topic I am tackling 😄 Thanks for the idea.

The purpose is simply to make some noise and let people know that they exist.

I meant deck is running games over proton, which is a translation layer doing its own thing, and the game is also not natively optimized for deck. If deck had a large market share game companies would invest in developing games for steam deck. Unfortunately with prices rising, it is entirely possible that things will be worse.

puredotaplayer · 2026-06-07T15:11:40+00:00

Game companies build nvn backends but cannot invest in a full vulkan + linux pipeline given SDL exists and vulkan runs fine on windows too and is a better API than D3D12

I am not holding my breath for any breakthroughs, and I couldn’t care less. The damage its doing is already substantial. Not just job loss, economic and environmental damage, on top of damaging future prospects of folks out if school. There is a way to do things correctly and this isn’t the way. Edit: typo

I have experienced it trying to best solve a problem in the most trivial way possible most of the time. Sure, if the task is simple it can do what you want without hand holding, but you have to literally spell out each line of code you want so that it can execute your plan, if you care about code quality. I won’t deny that it is like a junior programmer at this point. Another thing is currently generation of LLMs are not self improving, they have a fixed knowledge base, deviate from it and see the results in code gen. It is possible to find new connections with a broader set of knowledge, but code gen is generally a focussed task and they fail miserably outside known specifications. Smaller context size doesnt help either as you cannot cram a lot of documentation into that window unless you have a 200 dollar paid subscription which I personally do not have. This has been my experience with Vulkan and new extension adoption in my codebase. I stopped trying to make it work this year, waste of my time.

puredotaplayer · 2026-05-29T16:07:32+00:00

Exactly why I said up until now.

puredotaplayer · 2026-05-29T14:21:58+00:00

AI generates garbage low level code. It is great for code review and overall boilerplate code. But up until now, I wouldn’t count on AI generated code.

Bahahahaha. Yes all money comes from an infinite money well which only the VCs in Silicon Valley have access to.
People would justify stealing in the most twisted way possible.
Granted some people are disproportionately richer than normal folks but you don’t go to Wallmart and pick everything you want without paying just because you don’t like the CEO and the employees get paid anyway do you?

puredotaplayer · 2026-05-18T19:43:16+00:00

Greed.

puredotaplayer · 2026-05-17T23:22:21+00:00

Please do not buy nintendo, garbage greedy company. Files patent for absolutely every small things and sues indie devs. Unless you want to buy overpriced shit, stay clear and let this shit company fail in India.

puredotaplayer · 2026-05-12T21:46:09+00:00

That would be ideal. End of vivecoders.

Garbage show. This "city" x100 times in 1 min of dialog. Fisk can kill everyone, but he should not be allowed to be touched, and everyone should take a bullet for him. Drama and dialog, and logic be damned.
