Having the rating of how well the model will run for you is cool. I miss to also have some rating of the model capabilities (even if this is tricky). There are way too many to choose. And just looking at the parameter number or the used mem

I don't think they will have sentience or agency unless they are designed to: 1) Keep thinking continuously, as opposed to current AIs that stop functioning between prompts. 2) Have permanent memory of their previous experiences. 3) Be

Charging money does not seem a very good idea in a site like this where you expect users to upload all the content. Also this would require credit card info which is a massive barrier, even if you were to charge just 1 cent.

I don't think it's that unrelated. If you make a system way more complex than it should be (clearly the case with CSS) it's obvious the risk of vulnerabilities increases exponentially.

Thanks for this, I was not aware that a good portion of GBA songs can be exported as MIDI. But I'm guessing that with good soundfonts you can get pretty reasonable quality for many of them!

Nice idea! It would also nice to have a similar post about consoles or game devices discovered through HN.

Thanks, I know about this and other workarounds. My point is, if it was truly universal you should not need anything! I bet most regular users will never even know this exists.

Unfortunately being universal implies way more than just having good browser support. There are quite a few image processing programs without webp or jpeg-xl support. I'm using Windows 11 and the default image viewer can't even op

Thanks, but just like WEBP I'll try to stick to regular JPEGs whenever possible. Not all programs I use accept these formats, and for a common user JPEG + PNG should mostly cover all needs. Maybe add GIF to the list for simple animatio

My point here is that submissions were the exact same thing. Is it deemed "interesting" or not depending solely on the user? Logic does not check here.

by carra 9mo ago
So, 2 people submitted the same thing earlier today and got ignored, but this time it makes the front page? And this seems to be happening often here. Not the most encouraging system to submit something...

I find this quite worrying: with this much decline SO might end up disappearing. This would be a very bad thing because in some answers there are important details and nuances that you only see by looking at secondary answers and comments.

Pretty different, actually. You don't have to worry about possible malware, and you get to support the developers of games you like (aka "vote with your wallet"). Also even if you get your license revoked it's not such a

Am I the only one thinking that 1.7x is a very weird way of saying "70% more"? It's even wrong since, like other comments point out, 1.7x MORE would in fact be 2.7 times as much. Which is not what the bug numbers say.

We may be facing a grim situation in a few years because of this. Right now most consumer-grade storage is flash memory, and all of it suffers from this problem. SSDs, pendrives, SD cards, Compact Flash... Apparently games for the Nintendo

I think what the author means here is that doing prep work is useless if you don't follow on it. No amount of investigation, planning or organization is going to be worth anything until you finally apply it to do the actual core of the

A long interview with ZSKnight, creator of the awesome ZSNES (one of the first SNES emulators). The interviewer is Zophar, host of the well known Zophar's Domain, classic site for emulation and romhacks. So 2 retro legends here!

Things like Borland C and VB/WinForms really do take me to a simpler time. There was joy in being able to write simple programs very fast, in a more intuitive way, without needing to use browsers or frameworks or writing shaders to do

Mode 13H was pretty nice. But mode 13X, hacked to have square pixels, was the coolest!

Maybe a good idea for you would be to have a few cards per system (like: SNES plaftormers, or Game Boy RPGs). Or even just 1 card per system: SNES card, Game Boy card, etc. with the full catalogue. There would still be wasted space, but muc

Not saying you are wrong about that, but if you don't know about 90s console gaming and you only used the XBox as media center you are likely not the target audience for this project anyway.

Though it may be impractical I can definitely see the appeal of something like this. I'm not a fan of the current gaming model. Games we buy should be something we can own, preserve and control. It would be enticing to have a physical

Also, don't forget there are now launchers (you can't run your game yourself, it has to go through us) and EULAs (you can only play what you buy in our terms). Nice times indeed...

In theory these 2 options seem like a sensible way to have a choice. But the average user is not going to own and carry 2 devices. We want to have all we need in a single device, and things like paying with your phone have become way too co

Then wait until you learn of useful features that existed in Windows 7 and were removed... I'm especially baffled at the worsening of the file copy dialog.

We are also going to need a breakthrough in how batteries are produced and disposed of. Otherwise the environmental impact of the many millions of batteries themselves may prove unsustainable too.
