I run Qwen3 Coder 30b through Ollama on an RTX7900XTX. It works great, I suspect some load gets passed to the 32gb system memory and Ryzen 7 CPU. It's not quite as fast as like Sonnet 4 from an API, but it's really not that bad. I

I need to be delicate with wording here, but this is why it's a worry that all the least intelligent people you know could be using AI. It's why non-coders think it's doing an amazing job at software. But it's worryingly

You both seem to have assumed I don't hold these standards to real artists, which is nuanced but more or less wrong. I don't know why you made that assumption.

I don't really want to get pedantic about this, but I also don't listen to pop and authenticity in lyrics is important to me. But authenticity in creation is just as important, I listen to a lot of music with no lyrics at all and

I would like to see change there for sure. That said, DRM is optional for publishers on Steam. Once you've downloaded a game without DRM (steam's or otherwise) you can back it up and play it without Steam.

It is nice to see people bucking the trend getting rewarded, I see a bright future for an open ecosystem for gaming (even ignoring the Steam announcements). DRM is the publishers choice, worth noting.

Do you? I was pretty sure the Cyberpunk launcher has a "don't use account" button.

In theory you can run all your GamesPass games on a Steam Machine in the same way you can run arbitrary games through Proton, which is what Steam is doing. What a wild world it would be, if Microsoft release a GamesPass client for linux so

But it is also a PC, so I don't see the issue even if this were true. It's just a box running an Arch Linux flavour.

For sure, I wouldn't read it as if it were a human story though since I can relate and empathise with the human. But it would be interesting to see what kind of experience it had and how it records and explains it.

Objectively we should care because the content is not the whole value proposition of a blog post. The authenticity and trust of validity of the content comes from your connection to the human that made it. I don't need to fact check a

I think search engines should be worried, because people will silently lose faith in their results and start using AI chat instead. If search engines fail to find genuine, authentic content for me, and they just pipe me to LLM articles, I m

Your later point is hard to convey to people who don't want to hear it. I don't want AI content, even if it is as good, or even if it were better. The human element IS the point, not an implementation detail. An AI song about sail

You said we can be unhappy, which is what the grandparent was being, but you took issue with that anyway. I imagine people in deep enough to care about the downstream release cycle of android are well aware of the power structures at play.

I don't. Being more constructive, the future isn't looking bright for freedom of choice in mobile OSes, as governments and banks enforce use of approved apps on approved devices for identification and banking. Without one of eithe

These new controllers look just like the Quest 3 controllers. Ergonomically I really like them, and they have capacitive touch for most surfaces as well.

I am running Endeavour OS an Arch based distro, and it has been almost hassle free for games. Even less hassle than windows since I didn'teven have to download and install GPU drivers. Games with anti-cheat sometimes won't run, bu

Funnily enough, the Frame is running KDE Plasma so I bet it works pretty well.

Yeah I noticed that as well. There is no material that can defy the physics, top strap is the best.

The VR base stations and controllers were/are also hard to get.

Your later point is what makes me think this doesn't have comprehensive legs, just niche usage. A typical game has thousands of hand placed nodes in 3D space, that do things like place lights, trigger story beats, account for physics a

Aren't the gausian splats the output here? Or are these worlds fully meshed and textured assets? From my understanding, admittedly quite a shallow look so far, the model generates gaussian splats then from that could implement the coll

It's Google, I think they've sucked up enough of our digital lives and economy to handle a bit of snark.

The latency introduced by the network link will be tiny compared to most games total frame latency. I would prefer a cable link just so I don't have to worry about charging it ever, but I think the wireless link will be fine from a lag

I am beginning to wonder if the rumoured HLX is actuallya VR native experience, perhaps Alyx 2. All the leaks have pointed toward increased focus on systems like objects having physical properties that would really add to immersion in VR.

Hitman is amazing insofar as the worlds are so well realised and the gameplay is excellent. But the controls are a bit pants, and I had an issue on Quest three where it was applying a foveated rendering but the mask was off (and the quest 3

I have driven on tracks in real life and then the same track in VR, and all the spatial cues map perfectly. It's so close to "the same thing" that I really don't mind driving in VR more and then only paying for the occas

Agreed, if you have all the sim racing equipment already adding in VR brings you basically "there". The sim rig is a rabbit hole of immersive technologies of its own, but even just a basic wheel and pedal plus a headset will get y

100%, a non-spyware Quest 3 is what I wanted. The Q3 is a fantastic headset, easily the best amalgamation of features at the right level of performance. Very pragmatic. But Meta basically having access to my room in 3D, full audio, is not i

If you are lucky enough to have wired as an option anyway, especially in linux this has been shaky. But with Steam continuing to push into linux and VR I have no doubt this will change quickly.
