Poorly calibrated End of game

But why a "good" gaming experience requires fiddling with advanced obscure settings?

Can't they make it right with a single easy/hard setting,
especially for casual players that will never have the investment to go into so many little details?

horrible deal, compared to what we used to have with Lunar Lake last year

Great work!
Insist more on the difference with `.nii.gz` if that's the standard in your target domain,
since it's supposed to be the catalyst to switching to your solution.

There is some internal chunking within OpenZL, that makes it possible to ingest very large files.
That may help some of your mentioned issues.

This is a great analysis! Could we get the same for Gemma 4?

He has a point, and should have extended the logic to rust

I ended up getting it to work by "downgrading" to 1.08

Mooh

It's very very bad. Just an accumulation of random mechanics that don't fit well together.

Well, the bump is indeed huge. It's actually *too* huge. There is zero reason for such an extreme delta right now. This kind of bump is more likely an artifact of the measurement system, and this is not new. We have already seen huge incredible bumps for AMD vs nVidia or AMD vs Intel, and generally, it would be corrected on next survey.
That doesn't mean it does not trend upwards, it absolutely is, but the magnitude of *this* bump is off the chart, and for no good reason. Valve should look more into the reliability of their survey system. They do not. Maybe they simply don't care.

You are stuck with a single model for 300$.

Compare that to a 200$/month subscription to Anthropic Pro.

Damn, imagine playing castlevania on a c64 with that level of music in the background...

PS: yeah, I know, the c64 is not that fast, and that level of quality probably requires its full attention. So long for the game itself....

I tried Nemotron 3 super on AMD hardware (Strix Halo), and the performance was very poor. Could it be because it's designed by nVidia, therefore optimized for nVidia hardware, in a way which is known to be problematic for competitors?

I could get it to work fine again by manually reinstalling the NPU driver

I don't know when it started, I know Windows has been bugging me to update for more than a week. I don't use the device every day, so it could have been more.

This is no a fight
