It’s not even that. It’s about Steam apparently trying to enforce a clause that doesn’t exist. The most-favored nation clause applies to Steam keys only, but Steam allegedly sent Ubisoft a nastygram about them selling a non-Steam version for less.

And twice as many.

I told you a joke via UDP, but I don’t know if you got it or not.

Only connected with cinch straps. They don’t have any wire connection to the pole. That’s what makes them so easy to place all around a city; they’re just throwing them onto pre-existing poles.

Honestly, it’s possible that your cat knocked something over in your neighbor’s yard and panicked. It’d sound like something big and scary, which would cause the cat to hole up and yell to be saved - and then when you came around the corner, perhaps thought that the ‘big scary monster’ was coming without knowing it was you.

They have solar panels and batteries, they aren’t connected to anything.

I doubt anyone can actually calculate a line of best using ordinary least square linear regression by hand with no mistakes but no one’s crying about that.

That’s because I can write an algorithm to do it for me reliably and quickly.

LLMs are just the next generation of calculators and programs.

LLMs can do it quickly, but they cannot do it reliably by their very nature. They are very much NOT the next generation of calculators and programs, because the whole POINT of calculators and programs is to do it quickly AND RELIABLY.

nowadays most of it is done by robots.

The difference is that the robots are actually better at reliably making cars than the humans were. Vibe coding very much does not produce better, more reliable code.

LLMs are neat, and useful for some things - but as with practically everything in modern society, capitalism is ruining it.

Oh, absolutely. But other, more accurate, emulators started to take some of ZSNES’s limelight away as hardware started to catch up to the demands.

It was a long time before a majority of PC owners could run BSNES at full-speed, but eventually it became one of the most well-beloved emulators. That same clock is what pushed ZSNES into obscurity over time.

I think maybe we’re talking about a different Jon Stewart, because the one I know hasn’t shied away from criticizing Israel.

It looks like 0.700 is actually when they switched to C.

I believe it, though. SNES9X was coming into its own at about the same time period, and the inaccuracies were starting to catch up with ZSNES.

And because it was the first SNES emulator to play games full-speed on a 486.

I mean, it’s also using the name because zsKnight and _Demo_ are the devs.

That’s because it doesn’t really ‘know’ things in the same way you and I do. It’s much more like having a gut reaction to something and then spitting it out as truth; LLMs don’t really have the capability to ruminate about something. The one pass through their neural network is all they get unless it’s a ‘reasoning’ model that then has multiple passes as it generates an approximation of train-of-thought - but even then, its output is still a series of approximations.

When its training data had something resembling corrections in it, the most likely text that came afterwards was ‘oh you’re right, let me fix that’ - so that’s what the LLM outputs. That’s all there is to it.

Because just giving them money, no strings attached, is proven to be more effective AND more efficient in both money and manpower. Every single time it’s studied.

The argument ‘But what if someone abuses it?’ always falls flat when countered by ‘What if people are unjustly denied support they need because of the restrictions?’ Because the first will always happen, no matter what, and the second only happens if you deny support. One person ‘unfairly’ wasting money on meth would be a more than fair price to pay for one more person getting what they need to survive, and if you believe otherwise… I don’t know what to tell you. Maybe go grow some human empathy.

Besides, tax money is wasted WAY more by the rich than by the poor.

They just take it as an excuse to bomb even more.

They’re too used to being able to get whatever they want by whining and threatening loud enough.

The propaganda and isolation algorithms are in full swing with Trump, in a way that they could only dream of in Dubya’s day.

Installers deal with more than just unpacking files into a folder. There are often prerequisite shared libraries that are included in the installer that AREN’T in the game directory, which may or may not need to be installed along with the game depending on if your system already has it.

So just double-clicking the .exe after copying the folder to a new computer is not reliable in the same way GOG’s installers are.
