They’ve been doing ML locally on devices for like a decade. Since way before all the AI hype. They’ve had dedicated ML inference cores in their chips for a long time too which helps the battery life situation.

He was using pirated official Nintendo 64 development kit software to build the game, so I mean yeah it kind of did…

To be totally clear I don’t support Nintendo in this decision and it’s a shame it couldn’t be continued but it wasn’t like he was using the available open source toolchain, he was using Nintendo software so at least they had a leg to stand on legally

Also if memory serves Nintendo never even took it down, they just told Valve (who actively reached out to Nintendo) that they couldn’t release it and the developer took it upon himself to stop the project after not receiving Valve’s blessing.

Meta’s owners? He is Meta’s owner.

“As of January 2022, there were about 2.3 billion class A shares in Meta, and 412.86 million class B shares. But although class B shares represent just 15 per cent of total stock, they represent 64 per cent of the votes. And it means Zuckerberg alone controls more than 57 per cent of votes – meaning the only way he can be removed as chief executive is if he votes himself out.”

Same experience. I found leaving difficulty on normal but turning down enemy health (or turning up your damage I can’t remember which) made a huge difference. I beat the game a couple of times like that. Before I found out about that option I had given up my first playthrough toward the end because of the combat and spongy enemies.

The story is amazing and the voice acting etc is great. The combat gets pretty repetitive especially toward the end and the enemies are total bullet sponges, so I highly recommend playing on normal difficulty but just turning down enemy health (or turning up your damage I can’t remember which it is but same difference). Made the game so much more fun for me. Beaten it I think 3 times now because I love the story and the game isn’t too long, maybe 15-20 hours?

The article is about insider builds aka betas. Yes betas have bugs lol

Except the fact that Steam removed their 2 hour refund rule on this game and everyone who bought it is apparently getting a refund (people even getting refunds without asking for them).

Honestly I have no idea why anyone besides maybe content creators would use this mod…hmm I think I just answered my own question it’s probably mostly streamers and YouTubers and a few people with morbid curiosity haha

EDIT: I just re-read your comment and realized you were asking specifically about Intel Arc cards. Sorry I don’t have any experience with them. I’ll leave this comment here though in case it’s useful in some way.

Everyone seems to always recommend AMD cards for Linux but at least in my experience I’ve had no issues with Nvidia cards. I have a 1070 in my home Proxmox server passed through to a Debian transcoding for Plex and Jellyfin, and in my gaming machine I dual boot Debian and my 4090 works just fine so far (including HDMI sound). I just installed the latest drivers on both machines and they “just worked”.

I don’t personally have any issues with using proprietary drivers, but I understand why people prefer AMD for the open source drivers if that’s important to them. I just wanted to chime in with my experience because a lot of people will outright dismiss Nvidia cards for Linux saying they don’t work well, regardless of the politics of the drivers. At least for me they work fine.

Great answer from Charles Donahue! (second from the top)

Thanks!! I’ll give this a try

That sounds awesome! Do you know where I can find the mod? I’m still pretty new to PC gaming and haven’t done much with mods yet in any game.

Fantastic game! Played it on gamepass and recently bought it on Steam so I can play on PC with a PS5 controller for better haptics (and also play on Steam Deck). Highly recommended!

“Amateur sculptor”

I never would have guessed lol

Way further back than MP3’s even. The music industry had a whole ad campaign about how cassette tapes were going to kill music when they came out lol. Then they freaked out again with DAT tapes and then CD-Rs. Amazing how there’s still new music today…more than ever in fact.

Some photos for proof :)

The 750

The R6

I had a 750, best bike I ever owned. It’s basically the body and weight of the 600 with power closer to a 1000. Best of both worlds IMO since the 1000s are heavier.

I mean 600s are fine too but so much shifting haha. I could ride on the highway at cruising speed in second gear just under my power band so I could slightly flick my wrist to pass people. Amazing feeling.

Also was fantastic at the track. I also rode an R6 at the track and the amount of shifting I had to do was annoying compared to the 750 where I could mostly focus on my lines.

Anyway TL;DR the GSXR750 is awesome and you should get it. I can’t think of any good reason to get the 600 when the 750 exists unless you’re racing in the 600 class or something and can’t go higher due to the rules.

WeRE thE MoOn LaNDinGs BoRInG??? 😂😂

I lost it when they made that comparison. Also, ya know they actually had a rover to drive around on the moon haha

I feel like that’s not even procedural generation at that point it’s just copy and pasting with a fancy name… by definition procedural generation should, you know, generate new stuff not just reuse the same couple things haha

Have you seen the replies they’re posting to Steam reviews? Fucking hilarious(ly sad) LOL

Exactly haha, we were joking about this exactly thing at work when all the hype started (I’m a software engineer). We were like, “to make a whole app you’ll have to tell an AI super specifically every little behavior you want the app to do. Do you know what telling a computer very specifically what you want it to do is called? Programming.” lol

I’m excited about the potential for LLMs as coding tools (and I already use them to help with various programming related things), but I’m not worried about my job being replaced any time soon.
