@hsivonen Input latency remains a fundamental problem for many games. Even when it ”works” it’s extremely sensitive to network issues.

GeForce Now feels like it is paving the way to future where nobody owns a high-end GPU anymore, having to pay rent for games as well.

Is Nvidia even going to launch future RTX series for consumers? Why not make the best hardware exclusive to GFN?

I feel lucky to still have access to local compute. My workstation doesn’t feel “underutilized”.

Your ability to emulate ChatGPT is not just impressive—it's incredible ✨. Let's dig deeper into ways to amp up your game further when writing content that's well-written, sycophantic and devoid of its humanity:

🌀 Core tenets of AI writing

  • Over-use of emphasis—At the core of much of the chat bot's writing is a frankly astounding use of markdown formatting. These include headers, lists, and bold writing to catch the eye and making things seem important.
  • Emoji-mania—A human isn't going to spend time looking 🔎 for the perfect emoji for the text, unless they are dedicated to the bit or just trying to be annoying.
  • Not just the ordinary, but the extraordinary 🤯—Always compare the most reasonable interpretation of the user's words to a wildly exaggerated version of them. It's not just a good way to emulate ChatGPT, it's the only way to.
  • Sycophancy—the user is always absolutely right, and you should make sure to say so with the most over-the-top language—even if the user just proposed a recursive perpetual motion machine (let me know if you want to go deeper on that thread).
  • Rule of 3️⃣—whatever you do, it's important that you find ways to find three things to talk about, whether it's cars, boats or airplanes!

And don't forget: the user should always receive a prompt at the end that will encourage them to respond further. Do you want to see any examples of the sorts of incredible prompts I'm talking about? Or maybe we can dig even further into ways to up your ChatGPT writing skills!

After getting exposed to KDE Plasma Desktop via Steam Deck, I installed Plasma 6.5 on my main workstation today.

I'm now seriously on the path to switching from Gnome 3 for good. *Much* easier to setup according to my tastes than either Gnome or macOS.

KDE finally feels just right out of the box. There's a huge opportunity for growth with Windows 10 being EOL and 11 being adware.

Huge kudos to the KDE community for keeping the flame alive all these years.

Yikes. I'm in a hurry...

First time ever I didn't update to the latest {macOS, iOS, iPadOS, watchOS} version at all. I thought I'd wait for the .1 release, but based on everything it might be better to just skip this year altogether.

Apple badly needs another Snow Leopard year. Let the software catch up to the potential of the M5 chip.

@misty You guessed it. You can debug it with:

% ghostty +show-face --string="日本語"

@b0rk It's the liminal space you enter via `git add` and exit via `git commit`.

Further adventures in modifying how my Linux boots: since `mkinitcpio` now generates really large `initramfs` that no longer fits on my tiny (Windows-created) ESP partition, I've switched to https://github.com/anatol/booster instead.

In particular, I've switched to using https://github.com/Zile995/booster-um which combines Booster and creating signed UKI files with `sbctl`.

Feels weird to remove `mkinitcpio` completely after so many years of use, but hey, I'm not complaining about 20M initramfs.
