- Comment on Kindle Is Making It Harder to Switch to Rival eReader Brands. 1 week ago:
I switched from the default reader to koreader, and now I have dark mode (mine is probably about 8 years old and did not originally have this feature). Koreader has so many features and qol improvements compared to the default Kindle experience.
- Comment on What can I actually do with 64 GB or RAM? 1 week ago:
Yeah this is exactly me. Also a quick tip, if you’re on windows, there are some registry tweaks you can do to help prevent the GUI slowing down when lots of programs are open at once.
- Comment on What can I actually do with 64 GB or RAM? 1 week ago:
I built my PC recently and splurged to get about 100gb of ddr5, thinking it was going to be a waste of money.
I couldn’t have been more wrong, there are occasionally times when I’m almost running out of memory. How? Multiple desktops, each with tons of programs and stuff open, including probably like several hundred Firefox tabs open at the worst of times.
Basically, extra ram has allowed me to kinda postpone the responsibility of having the close programs, maintain cleanliness, etc. I still have to stay organised using desktops so I don’t go crazy with the number of things I have open, but I’m the limiting factor here, not my computer. And that’s a super liberating feeling.
TL;DR: you can NEVER have too much ram.

Yeah, your brain is not doing projectile motion equations in real time, it’s the same process as teaching a neutral network to approximate a parabola.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s incredibly impressive that this prediction in our brain requires the visual processing of data from eyes to identify an object flying through the air, moving our hand in a perfect intercept course to catch it. All without having to have a ton of data points to ‘train’ on.

- Comment on Steam games will now need to fully disclose kernel-level anti-cheat on store pages 3 months ago:
And you can’t even check what it’s really doing on your computer because it’s a crime under US law.
Is this specifically for kernel level anticheat? Because this isn’t a thing for software in general right??

- Comment on REPORT: Arm is sensationally canceling the license that allowed Qualcomm to make Snapdragon chips which power everything from Microsoft's Copilot+ PCs to Samsung's Galaxy smartphones and tablets 4 months ago:
If Qualcomm released a FOSS RISC-V IP core that would’ve required spending multiple millions on hardware engineer salaries (no chance in hell), I would:
- Spontaneously ejaculate
- Pull out my FPGA
- Comment on REPORT: Arm is sensationally canceling the license that allowed Qualcomm to make Snapdragon chips which power everything from Microsoft's Copilot+ PCs to Samsung's Galaxy smartphones and tablets 4 months ago:
takes this opportunity to develop a high performance RISC V core
They might. This would never be open sourced though. Best case scenario is the boost they would provide to the ISA as a whole by having a company as big as Qualcomm backing it.

Fucking sad. Was just sitting around playing games only a few years ago just like any one of us.

- Comment on Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 needs 64GB of RAM for ideal performance — oddly, the game install size is only 30GB 5 months ago:
Great. Now I’ll have to buy this to justify overspending on 96gb of ddr5.

Wireless engineering concepts are simultaneously interesting while also making me want to take my own life.
It’s s quite the dichotomy.

- Comment on Today's featured article on Wikipedia: Outer Wilds 6 months ago:
I think if I played this game myself I never would have finished it. I actually watched a play through on YouTube by someone that was actually competent at puzzle games, and had a great experience. Then I ended up playing through it myself a few years later, knowing the story actually helped keep me motivated. It really is an incredible game.

But you can just do that with a normal VPN? What’s the advantage doing it like this?

- Comment on Cubic millimetre of brain mapped in spectacular detail 9 months ago:
The 3D map covers a volume of about one cubic millimetre, one-millionth of a whole brain, and contains roughly 57,000 cells and 150 million synapses — the connections between neurons. It incorporates a colossal 1.4 petabytes of data.
Assuming this means the total data of the map is 1.4 petabytes. Crazy to think that mapping of the entire brain will probably happen within the next century.

Nope, running locally on the Pi.
- Comment on Raspberry Pi storybook uses AI to create stories with pictures on its eInk display 9 months ago:
That’s not the point of this I think lol. It’s very impressive as a tech demo, that even a device even as underpowered as a Pi can run these AI models to a passable degree.

- Comment on Bypassing Denuvo in Hogwarts Legacy 10 months ago:
Very cool. Reading something intentionally vague like this that doesn’t really have the little details, but only the achievements of the process, makes it look deceptively simple. When in actual fact there is(was?) basically a single unhinged person around that has the knowledge to crack DRM on modern games.
- Comment on Fully working 270€ Nest Dropcam will no longer be supported. 11 months ago:
Someone’s working on an open source implementation of the low level wifi firmware for the ESP32 here. Would be cool if they do actually manage to reverse engineer something usable.
