    Sorry, this kind of LLMglish is illegible. That rounding has teeth. Here is the answer, and it’s the most useful idea in this whole post. That last clause is the whole game. The co…

    I read this post and your post introducing zeroserve. One of the main parts of the original pitch was "no separate config file and scripts". Now you're adding a config file separat…

    These games all released with Denuvo on Steam and DRM-free on GOG. (Some of them have subsequently removed Denuvo on Steam.) Mad Max Middle-earth: Shadow of War Deus Ex: Mankind Di…

    What does this offer over feeding `-v` output into an LLM?

    The fundamental reason JSON won over XML is that JSON maps exactly to universal data structures (lists and string-keyed maps) and XML does not.

    mmap is better when: * You want your program to crash on any I/O error because you wouldn't handle them anyway * You value the programming convenience of being able to treat a file…

    If you fail to load an mmapped page because of an I/O error, Unix-like OSes interrupt your program with SIGBUS/SIGSEGV. It might be technically possible to write a program that wou…

    Running LLMs will be slow and training them is basically out of the question. You can get a Framework Desktop with similar bandwidth for less than a third of the price of this thin…

    I have a few questions after reading the README. First, if it uses PRNG with a fixed-size state, it isn't accurate to say it never repeats, correct? It will be periodic eventually …
