Consider this: why do you have 2TB of games installed?

IDK what your gaming habits are, but I find myself bouncing between a few at most, 1 big AAA at most, and found keeping the rest… to be blunt, data hoarding.

I suppose the only exception is modded setups, it even then I always redo them anyway since the base games, modding frameworks and mods get updated over time.

You can redownload what you use, progressively.

This is not always true. I measured that the Proton version of Rimworld and Stellaris, for instance, are massively faster than the Linux one.

What I do is dual boot Windows/Linux and have them share big NTFS partitions for bulk data they can both access.

You could try getting autocad running?

But TBH, neutering Windows down to a “software tool” to the point I could wipe it and not really care, and spending most of my desktop time on Linux, has been wonderful.

Depends what you do on your computer.

Macs are amazing and unique and, at the same time, extremely infuriating and very expensive.

Older politicians act like it’s 1950, and that algorithmic social media/personality TV isn’t completely dominating how people think en masse.

In his world, Trump would have been pushed out. He just can’t grasp that that so many are drinking the kool-aid and that there’s too much support for whoever’s left to defy it.

Not that most of America will know :/

It’s ironic how conservative the spending actually is.

Awesome ML papers and ideas come out every week. Low power training/inference optimizations, fundamental changes in the math like bitnet, new attention mechanisms, cool tools to make models more controllable and steerable and grounded. This is all getting funded, right?

No.

Universities and such are seeding and putting out all this research, but the big model trainers holding the purse strings/GPU clusters are not using them. They just keep releasing very similar, mostly bog standard transformers models over and over again, bar a tiny expense for a little experiment here and there. In other words, it’s full corporate: tiny, guaranteed incremental improvements without changing much, and no sharing with each other. It’s hilariously inefficient. And it relies on lies and jawboning from people like Sam Altman.

Deepseek is what happens when a company is smart but resource constrained. An order of magnitude more efficient, and even their architecture was very conservative.

Saw it here, as new as January: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Movements_for_the_annexation_of_Canada_to_the_United_States#Opinion_polling

Seems some newer polls may not follow this trend, thankfully: https://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/article/large-majority-of-canadians-reject-trumps-annexation-overtures-poll-suggests/

As for general American sentiment on Trump, I don’t know if most Americans approve of annexation, but that may not matter if they approve in general: https://www.axios.com/2025/03/16/trump-high-dems-low-new-poll

Plenty of the US military seems to adore Trump whatever he proposes.

Canadian polls are rising too.

Don’t discount the effect of propaganda, and of decision makers in Washington drinking some of their own kool-aid.

Heh, that’s a good future.

The one we’re speeding towards is where they all collude, and all the service is shitty and the same (or worse) as its ever been. If its not just monopolized. That’s why Night City is a relatively good place to live in CP2077: There’s still competition.

Meanwhile, Rust punches you in the face for the mere suggestion. Again. And again.

Python happily nods, runs it one page at a time, very slowly, randomly handing things off to a C person standing to the side, then returns a long poem. You wanted a number.

Assembly does no checking, and reality around you tears from an access violation.

EDIT: Oh, and the CUDA/PyTorch person is holding a vacuum sucking money from your wallet, with a long hose running to Jensen Huang’s kitchen.

Sadly not always true. For example, AT&T’s board chair is also its CEO.

The solution is to destroy the engagement feedback system: regulate Facebook, and any engagement based social media, like we should have done a long time ago. Or more specifically, deregulate them, and don’t shield them from liability with the law.

But it’s way too late for that.

Anyway, I’m not saying it’s a good solution. But it’s what will naturally arise, just like Trump rose through the Republican party when no oldschool Republicans wanted that. People you know will jump on the bandwagon, and worship liberal Trump. Get ready.

So?

I guess I’m not drawing lines between the volume of death threats, any exaggeration of the article, the culprit(s), and what any of that has to do with an LLM. They all seem like independent factors. Sure someone could have used an LLM to spam her, or theoretically the article could be editorialized, but… She still got death threats, maybe a lot.

Not sure what an LLM has to do with this. Anyone can make a death threat? And anyone can use an LLM to do it I guess.

That’s the bottom line, isn’t it? Everyone deserves one’s respect, no one deserves one’s worship.

I bet the remake will be fine, it’s just technical upgrades, no new writing or anything. Maybe not as “soulful” as Skyblivion, but fine.

What I am more worried about is “fun” writing and storytelling in new games.

EDIT: Wrong reply, but you get the idea @acosmichippo@lemmy.world

I mean, Starfield should have been my dream game, but after that…

I dunno. All my enthusiasm for BGS has been sapped, and I adored Oblvion.

Aww man, are they going to take down Skyblivion right when its done?

Well yes, it’s Nvidia.

Even at the enterprise demos, the running joke is that Nvidia is fudging claims big time.
