I wonder how the gpu interface was discovered and ported.

Look up the BC-250, it is the PS5 but was created for mining. You can get these very cheap on eBay.

Similar results here.

I'm curious to know what the problem of Firefox is. For example, the 3d-raytrace-SP benchmark is nearly three times faster on Edge than on Firefox on my i7 laptop. The code of that benchmark is very simple and mostly consists of basic math operations and array accesses. Maybe the canvas operations are particularly slow on Firefox? This seems to be an example that developers should take a look at.

The developers are busy ramming AI into it by management. This is probably never going to get looked into.

I was really into this idea a few years ago. Even started logging.

However, I just cannot bring myself to constantly pull the transactions down manually from multiple banks.

Many suggest automating. How is this working in practice? Are there providers like Plaid you can use? Build web scrapers? Build PDF statement parsers?

I ended up just paying YNAB the $130/year or whatever they’re at now. High wife approval factor and everything just connects. They also have an API. In theory I could just constantly backup YNAB with PTA by pulling down transactions from the API.

From this post, I just got mine setup this morning. I already enjoy going through my 18 accounts every 2 weeks on pay day (yes, every credit card is the highest for the category of spend). For me, it seems like it would be just one extra step for me to get the data every 2 weeks.

But for most, I understand that they aren’t enjoying what I am doing every couple of weeks. I was using YNAB before but due to how many cards I had something got messed up in the importer all the time. Sometimes my transactions would duplicate or even get triplicated and then I would decline one of them only for it to pop up again a few days later. This lead to a very messed up and not accurate tracking. For me I was just fighting this thing every single day.

This is probably user error but after wiping it 3 times and starting over and over I just gave up and went back to mentally keeping track which worked but I needed something better.

There’s just no way to stop cheating client side despite what devs love to think. But server side anti cheat is much harder and requires more work; it’s much simpler to just install spyware / rootkits on the client and call it a day.
360MustangScope · 3 months ago
You can’t prevent wall hacks with only server side anti cheat. The client needs that data locally before the enemy is rendered on screen.

As mentioned in another comment, you can’t do this on the server without expensive checks for every single player that is always checking line of sight, because it’s not just your session running on a single server but multiple sessions.

And let’s say you did this, now you have a latency problem because most modern games to make them feel fluid has client side prediction with server reconciliation. This is what makes your modern games feel more responsive, if you put a constant server check there you have lost this.

No matter what people say online, it isn’t just move all of it to the server, there is data the client needs to know and can’t be spoonfed by the server.

There is no way to make anticheat that can't be bypassed, regardless of OS. All of the anticheat games today have cheaters.

It doesn’t have to be 100%. The point is to make it inconvenient. The majority of people will not do it if it is inconvenient.

Thats the point to many things in life that you just make it more difficult and most people won’t be bothered to attempt to circumvent whatever it is.

There will still be circumventers but it is will be less than if you just said fuck it.

For a perfectly spherical person:

* The person's time is worth $0/hr

* The person is not disabled

* The person doesn't need to carry anything that can't fit in a backpack

* The weather is clemant enough

* The journey is short enough

The assumptions are always implicit.

Why would weather really be an issue? The city in the article has people cycling in the winter in the snow and also during the rain.

Realistically once you get fitter and fitter from riding the bicycle, your commute times will drop and if you’re in a city like the article, your trips aren’t even very far anyway. If anything driving is more annoying.

What? Apple's memory upgrades are never reasonable.

Last time I checked going from 16 to 32GB in a Mac Mini was more expensive (or as expensive) than buying two 16GB Mac Minis.

Right now in this environment, they look reasonable. Not that they are

For Android, you can hide all shorts stuff by patching the apk via ReVanced Manager.

But the database doesn't hallucinate data, if always does exactly what you ask it to do and gives you reliable numbers unless you ask it to do a random operation.
360MustangScope · 6 months ago
That is why you check your results. If you know what the end outcome should be. Doesn’t matter if it hallucinates. If it does, it probably already got you 90% of the work done which is less work that you have to do now to finish it.

MIT was always the easy default that every project used, you just select it from the GitHub dropdown and you are done when setting up a new project. I think you can't really blame people for using it.

Especially when your project is new it's also not often clear that this project will become something more serious later where you have to worry about such things as people cloning your project.

How would GPL change the outcome?

A lot of people say that it can prevent these situations but from working for large enterprises, a lot of the offerings that are created literally don’t even change the code. Thus they have nothing to contribute and have no obligation to release any source code.

GPL also does not prevent the corporation from building software in front of whatever GPL service it is. Kind of like the Linux kernel, why bother changing the kernel when you can build software in front of it and not change anything and thus have nothing to release.
