- Comment on The Crew Unlimited devs have prevented the Ubisoft racer's "3rd imminent death", this time via a "Y29K" bug 4 days ago:
According to the modders behind its revival project, The Crew Unlimited, a bug would have seen the game stop working once 2029 rolled around.
…
The good news is that the team say they’ve found “a less than ideal, but working fix” for this potentially lethal bug, which they’ve dubbed “Y29K”What do they think “K” stands for?

- Comment on Browser Fingerprinting And Why VPNs Won’t Make You Anonymous 1 week ago:
Those were the days where if you knew someone’s real name and town that they lived, you could just go and get the telephone directory for that area (the library had all of them) and look up their address and phone number. It would have to be quite a big town before you found multiple people with the same name.
- Comment on From Acorn to ARM with Professor Steve Furber CBE 1 week ago:
This was a great talk and it’s a fascinating history.
The next video is the second half of the talk which is about his participation in the Human Brain Project for which they built a supercomputer out of ARM CPUs, which is quite interesting so long as you’re not bored stiff with more discussion of AI.
- Comment on The Game Awards 2025 nominees revealed 1 week ago:
When I visit the official site (thegameawards.com) it seems to peg my CPU at 100% and make my browser stop responding.
wtf is it doing? crypto-mining?
I tried on my other PC and it actually hung the whole system. I had to power-off manually.

Dark matter is not something that we really know anything about. It’s just the name given to a series of discrepancies between our cosmological models and our observations.

members’ efforts to convince Keighley and co to read out a statement during 2023’s Game Awards expressing support for Palestine and calling for a ceasefire in Gaza resulted in their open letter being ignored
“Future class inductees” are learning a valuable lesson about the industry and who they pander to.
My advice to them: stop participating in the dog and pony show and create your own industry segment that represents your own values.

I enjoyed the article but the thing that is most remarkable to me is that you have the courage to use 12 em-dashes and 2 bullet-point lists in an article in 2025.

Not even a “self-made” shit-stain.

- Comment on Serverless Is An Architectural Handicap (And I'm Tired of Pretending it Isn't) 4 weeks ago:
This is just an ad for “Viduli, The AI-native cloud platform”
The discussion itself is off-topic for this community anyway. Who would even think about using “serverless” for self-hosting?
- Comment on Andrew Windsor could face private prosecution, Republic says 4 weeks ago:
They put “Republic” in the headline as if we all just know what that refers to.
Per wikipedia:
Republic is a British republican pressure group advocating the replacement of the monarchy of the United Kingdom with a de jure parliamentary republic.[2] It is a member organisation of the Alliance of European Republican Movements and is the largest organisation solely campaigning for a republican constitution for Britain. Republic states that its mission is: “the replacement of hereditary monarchy with a democratic republican constitution”.[3] As of 2023, Carol Lever is the current chair of Republic, and Graham Smith is the chief executive.[4]

Peter Molyneux says Masters of Albion will make up for decades of ‘overpromising on things’
When you “make up” for something you’ve done, it’s not up to you to decide when you’ve “made up” for it. It’s up to the people that you crossed. What a presumptuous thing to say.

This is a brilliant presentation. I heard about his paper that demonstrated integer factorisation with an abacus, a VIC-20 and a dog, but I hadn’t seen this before.

Did you know that Jensen Huang and Lisa Su are cousins? AMD only makes graphics cards to protect NVIDIA from antitrust lawsuits.
