Pyra is OMAP5

That's what bosses would like, but it's not really efficient. Code reviewing is harder (and less interesting) than coding, and if the AI codes very quickly, this means you'd have to review a lot of code, which makes it even harder to stay focused. Imagine a "self-driving" car that requires you...

The original Deus Ex is great, but it's more of an "immersive sim" than a FPS. It's first person and there's shooting but it's not centered on the shooting. Human Revolution isn't a bad game but it doesn't have the depth of the original and it doesn't bring many new things to the table (at least...

The LLMs that are called "AI" aren't really intelligent. They don't understand, they don't reason, they don't learn. They just predict what word is most likely to come next. This is enough to mimic intelligence, similar to the counting horse. (And just like for the counting horse, it is still an...

I'm not a fan of survival horror games but I enjoyed Half-Life 2 (even though I found it to be overrated, just like the first one). To be fair, it has a few sections that really feel like survival horror but I wouldn't consider the whole game to be a survival horror game.

I've been playing with it (or at least one of its forks) and it's pretty impressive. I've been able to run Interstate76 with it, so you had something like: - CPU : Windows 32 -> Windows 64 -> Linux x86_64 -> Linux ARM64 -> Android - GPU : Glide -> D3D -> OpenGL -> OpenGL ES (I eventually found a...

A friend had North Korean exchange student at his university. Their rooms in the student residence were arranged so that they could each see each other from their windows. Apparently, this is how they control people (both inside and outside of the country): have everyone spy on everyone. So...

Some mobile games with in-app purchases target "whales": players who'll spend fortunes in the game (hundred to thousands of dollars aren't uncommon). Mobile games are also big in some countries (especially asian countries) where a lot of people won't have a computer/console but will have a...

There was enslavement, but it was mostly by the private sector. IG Farben had a factory that rented workers (including children) from concentration camps. Working conditions were so horrible that even some SS officers complained about them to their hierarchy. At the end of the war, executives...

I've finished Kentucky Road Zero this morning. It's an unusual game. It's a kind of point&click except that there are no puzzles, you're just following the story. You have choices, in conversations or outside but they're more about how does this character feel, or what do they think about or...

I wonder how much they're paying ptitSeb :p

I've had good results with Kagi you need to sign up/log in (and pay above a certain number of queries per months) but it's trying to show you what it thinks you're looking for and not what brings them more money.

Private equity is destroying pretty much everything it touches, and it's touching pretty much everything (especially in the US, but it's happening in the EU as well)

I'm getting some kind of Dr Mc. Ninja vibe here.

My take is that human creativity is just a "mechanical" process. There's no magic, everything that's involved is electrical and chemical reactions in the brain (and very possibly the rest of the body to some extent). So we could imagine having a machine that more or less replicates this...

That was the model for Google's Stadia and it didn't work that well for them. It'll probably become more and more popular as fast and reliable internet connections become more common, but I doubt it'll become the only approach. I think it'll be a bit like movies: even if subscription-based...

I worked for a phone manufacturer that was trying to be decent (refused a contract with a lower-cost Chinese factory after a visit that reported blocked fire exits and other work condition issues, did surprise visits to check for child workers, etc.), I asked about our coltan source and I was...

You might be able to run the Windows version with box86 and wine. If I recall correctly the 32bit version of wine can run 16 bit apps.

At least Nintendo is relatively serious about game preservation. Not only do they frequently make older games available on their newer consoles but if I'm not mistaken they still have the source code of all their games. I still think that copyright (especially on video game) is far too long and...

In the VM you won't have the hardware-related issues which seem to be the main problems the Pyra has. Another option would be to have remotely accessible Pyras
