I've always thought this was a cool idea. It's obviously been on the minds of Wayland protocol developers since the beginning, otherwise it wouldn't be possible!

Jokes require mutual context. You failed to create a joke because you did not ensure the prerequisites were met.

Is pasting em-dashes everywhere some kind of inside joke?

Minecraft (and Java) just runs great on Linux. I've personally experienced a 30% performance improvement from Windows.

I was not affected

I recently wrote klondike in Rust after getting frustrated with bugs in my friend's LLM-written version. I highly recommend it as a recreational programming exercise, the first 4 h…

This is great news for nvidia users on Linux. It means that they don't need to install a VAAPI compatibility tool like nvidia-vaapi-driver. I also hope to see Vulkan Video supporte…

Base conversions are easy, but which off by one is it? base 4 or base 6?

This comment is AI, presumably AI translated

No, I believe it's futex_waitv

> I wouldn't recommend using Nvidia on Linux though. This was true 4 years ago, but is outdated knowledge now. Nvidia used to disallow distributing drivers with distro images, but …

> You can't rely on server-side detection either, because some of the cheats are so advanced they go to great lengths to "behave" like a highly skilled human player would with thei…

This happens to me too. Often my dream plows forwards with unsound assumptions and I wake up believing something confusing.

If only AI safety research had a mechanism this clear. "We have proof that building the machine will kill everybody, so get to work making a provably safe version."

This is called the AI Stop Button Problem. Computerphile has a great video on this (featuring Robert Miles) which explains why this is not a reliable solution to AI getting out of …

The final dithering effect appears to be mis-sampled and is no longer 1 bit per pixel

I also invented this! There is cool stuff like angle adding and angle doubling formulas, but the main downside is that you can only directly encode 180 degrees of rotation. I use i…

The fact that LLMs pick from the most likely tokens is really on its side here when the objective is putting together a plausible continuation of random characters.

Fighting the borrow checker is something you do when you're learning Rust. After you learn how to design things that way in the first place, it's just there to keep you honest.

Webp was not as exciting. JpegXL has cool features like 20% improved lossless jpeg recompression and progressive decoding. Not to mention all the cool stuff used in the writeup lik…

> visual coding impeded their ability to learn text-based coding As a former child, my opinion is the opposite. I learned visual programming with Lego Mindstorms NXT in ~2008, and …

Since the CPU is doing cache coherency transparently, perhaps there should be some sort of way to promise that an application is well-behaved in order to access a lower-level non-t…

I have never seen anything use Result , that is such an anti-rust thing to start with.
