Its still surprising that currently the best open-source engine port of any game is that of the jankiest game ever, the national game of Poland, Gothic 2.

Anyone got working qemu virtio-gpu/vga drivers for XP?
Fedora seem to have dropped/never had support for XP in their virtio-win driver iso images.

I bet there's at least one astronomer with an emergency "Betelgeuse goes supernova bag, telescope and slippers" setup, and an automated alarm linked to LIGO bursts.
Probably will never be triggered. And if it is, they'd probably spend at least 10 minutes wondering what the hell that sound is rather than running outside and recording.

SD3 2B was released and I can't stop laughing.

@npub1ysu…2jyl Just for syntax to avoid dealing with cursed incremental parsing. But it helps to keep in mind exactly to what the code will compile to. I'm at the point where I just know to what a chunk will compile down to.

2024-06-03 19:46:26

Disable syntax highlighting.
Start hosting a full C compiler in that neural network of yours.

During the first television broadcasts, there were issues with the very low contrast of the system.
So performers had to apply pure white makeup, and use pure black eyeshadow just to make sure their face was recognizable.
This is the origin of black metal, by the way, it was one of the first branches of music made for TV, due to the recording systems at the time making anything but screams inaudible.

Chopsticks were invented to pierce holes in the foil lids of instant noodles so you can drain them easily. Someone then got lazy and just grabbed two and tried them.

If you're in a desperate need to roll on a slot machine, make your own! Get three toilet paper rolls and a long enough rod, draw some identical symbols on them, and you're good to go!

Now I think about it, Telefunken is a bad name for a company that made vacuum tubes and microphones. You don't want your tubes or microphones to spark.

Are you hardcore enough in organic chemistry to attempt the easy 50-step process under a nitrogen atmosphere for total LSD synthesis?

2024-05-09 21:52:52

Anyone able to do total synthesis of any substance should be allowed to do whatever they want with it.

It's a pleasant afternoon. You go to the kitchen, and in the middle, is a collection of thousands of moving black spots, in the rough shape of a human. It does nothing. Anything that collides with it disappears.
What do you do?

Think about it - a lot of Hollywood films were shot on the same exact lens (not just models, no the *same exact lens*, rented and maintained for 20, 30, 40, 50 years) that AI trained on film or images has the exact lens transfer function of a single particular lens piece.

OpenSSL has staged QUIC server support for release: https://github.com/openssl/openssl/tree/feature/quic-server
You have no excuses or reasons to use any of the 30 completely independent messy badly maintained QUIC implementations now.

Users on twitter are apparently unhappy that we're not using inline asm, and that there's no optimizations that cannot be done under C or Rust.
As the unofficial self-elected FFmpeg representative here, it's faster, it's simpler, it's tidy, it lets you avoid waiting for years to get intrinsics or inline support for new extensions, and, above all, to the exclusion of any other advantages or disadvantages, ITS SO FUCKING FUN!

The sample with 90% packet loss with DRED is extremely impressive.

Opus 1.5 dropped, with AI extensions.
NOTE: this should be a huge note - the way Opus uses neural networks is completely different to all other ways they're used, particularly for low-bitrate speech enhancements.

I would, in all honesty, rather use this instead of boringssl, libressl, wolfssl or rustls. But not openssl, or maybe gnutls.

2024-02-15 16:59:16

You've heard of OpenSSL, you've heard of LibreSSL, WolfSSL, Boringssl, but amongst all crypto libs, there's only one that has something no other library does.
A fucking quality assurance certificate with a huge red star on it, signed by the Chinese Communist Party.

@npub12rs…el26 Reminder to use DNS-over-TLS or HTTPS. They're not greatly engineered, there are a few independent servers supporting them, but ISPs can't help but "help" you by hijacking DNS requests or at least putting queries into a public database waiting to be discovered somewhere for fun.

The one game I'm surprised does not have a working open-source implementation yet is Diablo II. AoE2, Gothic, Thief, Half-Life, all LucasArts, even Diablo I are already working. But not a game arguably even more played than they were.

@npub1zdm…g0vj You don't do all this in your head?
All you need is the instruction throughput, latency and the number of ports (== number of units generally) the CPU has.

Casual reminder that modern speech compression codecs don't compress sounds, but essentially model the neural impulses sent to a voicebox in the encoder and transmit them to a decoder which then models the entire speech apparatus.
With some tweaks, if you could probe your nerves, you could just plug the signals into a decoder and get back fully coherent speech.
