Turns out that if you pay users for engagement then users will post whatever gets the most engagement, regardless of whether it's true. Who could have forseen this.

Interesting priorities to go after a non-consensual deepfake porn site for not meticulously verifying their users, while allowing them to continue ignoring the consent and age of the people actually being nudified.

That's pretty far from the same thing, their technique is a 2D image in a trenchcoat. It instantly falls apart if you move more than a foot or so from the original camera position.

It's a bit of a weird edge-case, but the very popular Battlefield 6 is partially a Godot game. It's an odd hybrid of a proprietary in-house engine with Godot grafted onto it, which serves as a public-facing SDK for players to bu

Godot isn't quite free if you want to release on consoles since those platforms are only supported by commercial forks, but I'm sure going down that route is still a hell of a lot cheaper than licensing Unity.

I think Pentium 3 sockets were through-hole, so to use one they would have had to fit two different footprints on the bottom side of the interposer without any overlap. It might not have been physically possible.

There's already a ton of Snapdragon based handheld consoles, they're mainly marketed for retro system emulation but you can do whatever you want on them. They usually run Android out of the box though, not plain Linux.

The Nintendo Switch already provides >160 million reasons for gamedevs to care about native ARM support, but that hasn't moved the needle for the Mac. Being ARM-based is the least of its problems, the problem is that it's a rel

Sure, but Apple isn't selling their silicon to anyone else and Valve, successful as they are, don't have Apples money and economy-of-scale to throw at designing their own state-of-the-art CPU/GPU cores and building them on TS

Yeah, there's a real gap in the market for a relatively compact handheld which can play low-spec PC games. The AMD-based handheld PCs available today are all pretty chunky.

It could output analogue 720p and 1080i for sure, but the CPU had a hard time keeping up with HD video decoding. It was only a 733mhz Pentium 3 after all. Although to go on a tangent, it turned out that you could swap the soldered BGA pro

Looks like they do expensive conservative TSO emulation by default, but they're able to piggyback on compiler work that Microsoft did to make newer Windows x86 binaries easier to emulate. Since MSVC 2019 they annotate the executable wi

Oh no I'm not speaking from experience, just saying that in principle you would want actual cryptography experts in that position, so there's no contradiction in terms. How that tends to play out in practice is another question.

Well yeah, someone hired to work with the low-level nuts and bolts of blockchains would ideally need to know their way around actual bona-fide cryptography.

Wasn't it just the shorthand "crypto" that got co-opted by the Shitcoin Industrial Complex? I think "cryptography" still means what it always meant regardless of who you ask.

The article is literally about how rote translation of CUDA code to AMD hardware will always give sub-par performance. Even if you wrangled an AI into doing the grunt work for you, porting heavily-NV-tuned code to not-NV-hardware would stil
