We already do - and play it with them on our family creative and survival servers.

I just want to buy home automation gadgets that don’t need a bloody cloud account to work.

I regret ever giving my kids access to Roblox. They haven’t had any bad interactions as far as I know but the content mill of poor knock offs is just depressing. They learnt the highlights of Squid Game from “games” that went viral on the platform.

My youngest wants to graduate to Fortnite and hyper-monetisation aside I’ve agreed they can have it on the family playstation if they drop Roblox.

So the entire article basically comes down to democracy is messy and with PR you can’t necessarily predict who you are going to get in coalitions.

That’s mostly accounting for the resolution and motion sensitivity in different parts of the eye. With enough cameras a car should be able too “see” more than we could at any one time.

I think car automation peaked at adaptive cruise control. It’s a simple tractable problem that’s generally well confined and improves the drivers ability to concentrate on other road risks.

I can see the argument that visible light should be enough given we humans can drive with just two eyes and a few mirrors. However that argument probably misses the millions of years of evolution of our neural networks have gone through while hunting and tracking threats that happens to make predicting where other cars might be mostly fine.

I have a feeling regulators aren’t going to be happy with a claim of driving better than the average human. FSD should be aiming to be at least 10x better than the best human drivers and we’re a long way off from that.

For portability Vulkan is the way (it also gets you GPU compute for free without needing vendor libraries). That said the ruttabaga encapsulation is useful for things like Wayland over virtio-gpu which is useful for some use cases.

I should note for even closer to native performance you want virtio-gpu with native context. Patches for that are currently being reviewed on the mailing list: https://patchew.org/QEMU/20241024233355.136867-1-dmitry.osipenko@collabora.com/

It depends what they want to do. They can fork and take on the burden of maintaining the whole tree in which case good luck with that, linux is too much of a fire hose to enable a 3rd party to assemble something similar making different choices about what they merge. Otherwise they can maintain a re-based fork that tracks the Torvalds tree and then congratulations you’ve just invented a feature tree that can do contribution with extra steps.

I don’t think algorithms themselves are to blame but what they are tuned for. While engagement/eyeball hours for the adserver is the prime metric the quality of experience will be subservient to it. If the algorithms could better measure your mood and stimulation levels and maximise for that the effect would be less toxic. Ideally if it realised you were just mindlessly consuming it could suggest maybe you’ve done enough today and to try something else. But that I fear that is not something the owners of the various ecosystems want.

I met a man who’s focus was on making ASIC fabrication accessible to students and hobbyists. The audacity of the ambition made me smile and the fact they have succeeded using an open source workflow made me happy.

I remember programming the VCR when VHS was first a thing and I’m definitely not nostalgic for it. It was the best most people could afford at the time but it certainly wasn’t good.

When did people get nostalgic for the crappy analogue definition that was VHS? What’s next betamax special editions?

Lemmy really needs to support post combining somehow so you can see the story once (and maybe even combine the threads in the UI?).

FEX redirects graphics library calls to their native equivalents. This substantially reduces the amount of translated code you need to execute.

slp did a nice demo at KVM Forum last month. https://kvm-forum.qemu.org/2024/The_many_faces_of_virtio-gpu_F4XtKDi.pdf and https://youtu.be/10Ztv0UI5I0?si=19KPcA6wGbXM3IsS

How can Google vet an app store without vetting everything it could serve?

We still have a lot of slag heaps in the top of some of our local hills. They make for some interesting mountain bike runs but they aren’t exactly diverse in floor coverage. Some pits are now tourist attractions but I don’t know what ongoing work is done to maintain the abandoned ones.

I quite liked Foundation although possibly because it’s the first SciFi I remember reading so there is some nostalgia at play. They made some interesting decisions in the adaptation but the techno space opera does look nice. Lee Pace’s emperor is the most interesting character of the show even if he is chewing the scenery a bit.

Nice to see the Celtic languages referenced by smbc. Da iawn.
