- Comment on Why don't these code-writing AIs just output straight up machine code? 2 weeks ago:
This is not necessarily true. Many models have been trained on assembly code, and you can ask them to produce it. Some mad lad created some scripts a while ago to let AI “compile” to assembly and create an executable. It sometimes worked for simple “Hello, world” type stuff, which is hilarious.
But I guess it is easier for a large language model to produce working code for a higher level programming language, where concepts and functions are more defined in the body that it used to get trained.

Ah, America. So we don’t have 401k’s.

I mean, you should have that before you invest, right?

That would be after their emergency funds run out, which should be at least a year in. But yeah, when it lasts many years…

I don’t get it. Why would anyone be forced to seem their assets? Do they invest with money they actually need? Just wait out the storm.

Are you not rotating your logs with for example logrotate?
- Comment on Oops, something went wrong! 2 months ago:
It’s not that it’s an internal error that is not handled properly. They don’t want to tell you the exact error message and detailed information around that, because it would expose the internal state of the backend and that would be a security issue. There is really nothing more that they can tell you, except that a developer needs to look at this (and possibly thousands to tens or hundreds of thousands of similar logged errors).
- Comment on Sony Working on Handheld Console for PS5 Games to Rival Switch [Bloomberg] 5 months ago:
Switch sold almost fifty times more in its lifetime. Do you expect the Steam Deck 2 to teach those sales numbers? I mean, it would be a miracle for Valve.
- Comment on Sony Working on Handheld Console for PS5 Games to Rival Switch [Bloomberg] 6 months ago:
I mean, the Switch has sold over 146 million units by now. Sales numbers for the Steam Deck aren’t public, but I’d estimate them around 3 or 4 million at most. That is a big difference.
For comparison, the PSP sold 80 million. Even the PS Vita sold 15 or 16 million. The biggest seller among handhelds is still the NDS at 154 million.
Of course, these handhelds have been in stores for a lot longer than the Steam Deck, but those numbers are a lot bigger!
- Comment on Sony Working on Handheld Console for PS5 Games to Rival Switch [Bloomberg] 6 months ago:
Eh. Steam Deck will have to up its game significantly if it wants to be in the same ballpark as Switch. It’s a little baby compared to Switch sakes, not even close.

I think you must be doing something wrong. Proton has been able to play pretty much everything without unsupported anti-cheat for a long while now.

I remember having a GeForce 2 as well. Yes, I was really into graphics actions that time. :) Ever since Wolfenstein 3D, or DooM, to be honest.
Colored lighting in Unreal for the first time!

Ohhhh! I think the Riva TNT was my first 3D accelerated graphics card!
- Comment on What games popularized certain mechanics? 9 months ago:
This is correct. I remember running Quake II in software mode with hardware effects (could that have been OpenGL already?). It ran at like 1 frames per second, because I didn’t have a 3D graphics card. Although the lighting looked lovely when you shot a rocket through a hallway.

I see, I guess you’re right then. :) Maybe this was a major release then.

I think the WASM project diabloweb of DevilitionX has not been around for five years?
