A super deep dive into working with the x86 memory model in emulation.

Gymnastics might not be a bad alagory for catalysis. It’s all about getting the molecules lined up to make the reactions easier than relying on heat and random collisions to get you there.

Yes, I misspelt it in my comment. It’s currently working well but I worry that the main developer will burn out. They usually have to add new thunks every new Minecraft release.

Pretty much cross play with tablets and the PlayStation.

I wonder if lepton will solve the Minecraft problem. Waydroid was broken by some recent drm changes which are unlikely to be reverted although mcplauncher still seems to work although it’s been awhile since I tested on my SteamDeck.

I’m sure Reagan deserves a lot of the criticism and he was possibly in early stage Alzheimer’s in his second term. However I mostly remember him being the president in charge when the cold war ended and Eastern Europe was finally liberated.

I think it’s a mistake to think of it as a homogeneous community. The original free software hackers where a mix of libertarians working alongside communists. The growth of the distros brought there own communitarian vibes. And that’s fine, the license is the thing that allows everyone to potentially benefit whatever direction any particular group go in. Don’t like the direction don’t follow that group.

In the discussions our project are having about how to approach LLM use in the community there has been a lot of consensus in the human taking ownership. Ultimately it’s the human who has to direct the tool and if they have little interest other than blindly hitting accept then we’re not interested in the contribution.

I’d love to know what these techniques are because as far as I can tell it’s just to lie like it’s going out of fashion and insist everything is “fake news”. How do you inoculate against that?

The scary thing is the true believers think it’s all a stitch up. When you hear them talk about how Farage would never do anything wrong they sound just like the MAGA folk in the States.

Nice to see old school demo sensibilities on a “modern” smart watch.

Quite a lot of the trailer was about revamped controls. I might have another go when it drops. I didn’t get far because fighting felt very fiddly.

Some of the AI generated bug reports we get are good because the author had verified them, added a test case and at least reviewed if it is guest trigger able. Yesterday’s flood however was low effort spam.

Is that like Deviled Lettuce?

I wouldn’t say it’s totally legacy. (v)ram bandwidth does matter and while the Apple M-series chips do well with their unified memory architecture don’t forget it’s fixed because it’s part of the CPU chip.

I don’t doubt that locally hostable models will be important for agentic tasks but I suspect they are still going to be bigger than most can comfortably host for time being. I still think there will be a place for the super large models for more complex reasoning although how much will be due to the intrinsic knowledge in the weights and how much due to the plumbing around them remains too be seen.

And if course LLM’s are not going to be the end point of the search for AGI. Whatever their architecture they will still need copious amounts of compute.

You don’t think the creators should get paid? Do you know how much effort goes into making quality videos?

Ironically it’s probably because so many of the slop videos try and copy their style. However I would have thought YouTube would be more proactive with a channel with 25M subs.

Hmm I see nothing - I guess the posts don’t federate back to .ml?

I joined the .ml server because it was the dev server. Looking at the communities I subscribe to most are on other servers. Occasionally people ascribe beliefs to me based on my home server but so far I haven’t bothered looking for a new home.

When I first joined there were a bunch of popular instances that closed down so choosing a non-dev server seemed like a bit of a gamble. Same with mastodon servers.
