Your statement comes in extreme contrast with my experience using local LLMs for more than year now. Qwen 35B-A3B, even its Q4 quantization, is extremely capable. Hell, at this poi…

This is an optimization that some GUI systems do but it is not inherent to "retained mode" GUIs, does not apply to all systems nor all systems use it. I remember GUI systems even f…

You mean wasabi or whatever it was called? It may seem weird nowadays but at the time it made sense since wasabi was "transpiling" VBScript (on which their existing codebase was wr…

> The difference is that for most games, throwing away the complete rendered graphics and re-rendering from the world model is often the right approach. Well, that is what "retaine…

Kimi K3 is more like "weights available" in that you can download and use them but it is under a custom license that has a bunch of limitations where you have to pay Moonshot for d…

A local model needs 0 investment and 0 commitment, takes literal minutes to get started (especially if you have someone who is into that stuff showing you the ropes) and if you end…

People are still figuring out how to use LLMs/AI and considering how feelings based and hard is to reproduce many of the results people get, a lot of the improved approaches are ba…

Personally i'm only using local LLMs that i can run on my 7 year old PC (that also has a GPU with 24GB VRAM because reasons :-P) so i'm not sure how much that experience matches wh…

Well, they could use GLM or K3... :-P

> I'm watching a friend, claiming he wants to make a game company, burn through all of this money instead making a game engine. If he succeeds, great! But I suspect he'll just run …

The first time i tried to make a game engine i didn't knew how to make a game engine and failed. The second time, same thing. But eventually i did manage to make a game engine. I e…

(Considering the linked section) that is more or less how Petra Engine[0] came to be - making a gamejam game[1] for MSDOS over a few weeks. Though while i did make it for that spec…

Looks neat (and despite trying to simulate a WinXP-like UI it relies enough on the native web stuff that Firefox can translate the Chinese to English without breaking much) but som…

Can't you respond to a message without barely relevant comparisons? :-P > If you are worried it's too much, "the wrong kind", whatever, you simply ask them. If you have to ask them…

It is also the simplest and most widely available one[0], working from decades old PCs to whatever is latest one, not only from the official drivers but also 3rd party implementati…

That is only your own interpretation. It is one that does conform to the rule but only because it takes one extreme side of the potential "amount" of allowed genAI use. However thi…

> Before Codeberg has to ask that, the person who would upload has to ask it themselves. People know what they did, or didn't. This is going in circles. For someone to "ask it them…

IMO that sounds either like a bug in Nvidia's drivers (IIRC OpenGL doesn't require that sort of alignment) or -more likely- your code having some other memory related-bug (e.g. acc…

Well, IMO there is a bit of a difference between a "dictator" and a "democracy" :-P.

archive.org probably, just search for "archive msdn" and you'll find a bunch of stuff

You're mistaken, Codeberg isn't ran by some guy, it is a non-profit organization with ~1200 members (not to be confused with users - there are ~200k users), ~780 members of which h…

Codeberg isn't one person, it is a non-profit organization with ~1200 members (not to be confused with users - there are ~200k users), ~780 members of which have voting rights. The…

Even at the time Java had some great tools and IDEs (NetBeans, Eclipse) and both computers and the JVM were fast enough for any performance issues compared to fine tuned C++ to not…
