Isn't this still essentially "vibe simulation" inferred from videos? Surface-level visual realism is one thing, but expecting it to figure out the exact physical mechanics of sailing just by watching boats, and usefully abstr

Is it possible to wedge WINE between a Windows VST and a native Linux DAW?

The fun thing about it being a true microkernel is that although there's zero official public information about it, it was small enough to fully reverse engineer and more or less reconstitute the original source code. You can see it he

Playstation is FreeBSD, yeah, but the Switch runs a completely bespoke microkernel. Nintendo did borrow the BSD networking stack, which led some to infer from the license disclosure that it runs a BSD, but it's been extensively reverse

Because their friends play Fortnite, for example? Multiplayer is often social, so "just play something else" turns into "just get new friends".

I doubt HN could knock over an Amazon site. They're probably geoblocking regions where that service never operated.

Take ProtonDB with a grain of salt, Apex Legends still has a Silver rating ("Runs with minor issues") despite being 100% unplayable on Linux for over a year now.

Secure boot mainly gets annoying if you have an Nvidia card, since the akmod needs to be self-signed. It's not insurmountable but you have to load your keys into the UEFI before it'll work.

That's correct, proper open source Linux is always limited to the weakest tiers of streaming DRM (i.e. fully software based) which usually means you only get low resolution streams. Locked-down Linux derivatives like ChromeOS and Andro

VR is rough at the moment, but one would hope that Valve is prepping an overhaul for SteamVR on Linux since they're launching a standalone VR headset which runs Linux soon.

The Steam survey has it at 3.6%, although that's obviously skewed towards gamers, and counts Steam Decks in addition to desktops.

And you didn't even get the luxury of unified memory on the PS3 - the CPU and GPU had separate 256MB chunks. I can still barely believe they got Grand Theft Auto 5 running on that thing.

Yeah that was the original name they came up with, and it stuck internally. Makes sense as they need to distinguish the "servers" from the actual servers.

If nothing else Abseil gives you state-of-the-art hashmaps that run circles around the STL ones, which are slow pretty much by definition. The spec precludes the modern ways of implementing them.
