Games@lemmy.world•Sony is now FromSoftware owner Kadokawa's largest shareholderEnglish
10·1 year agoOh, make no mistake; prior FS games have no modding support. In fact, they encrypt the all game files with RSA nowadays (which is awful for read speeds because RSA is slow but whatever). Current modding support is based off of a robust reverse engineering community that’s documented most of the file formats and a significant portion of the important code. And that’s while contending with Arxan which, while not as awful as Denuvo, still impedes RE. They’d basically have to implement something as draconian as Denuvo to make things more difficult than they are.

Games@lemmy.world•Sony is now FromSoftware owner Kadokawa's largest shareholderEnglish
3·1 year agoI’ve worked closely with the people that do reverse engineering and such for FromSoft games and I can damn near guarantee that any PSN requirement would be ripped out pretty quickly. At worst they might tie it to online features. My real worry is exclusivity, timed or otherwise.
For me personally, it’s just a nice to have for games that require it. I remember pulling out my steam controller a few times when Breath of the Wild needed motion controls.
It was honestly just dumb luck. I had heard of these previously from a friend who had some in the Philippines. I would say, really, I do know nothing about nuts, relatively speaking :)
Yes, but not normal walnuts, black walnuts. What most people think of as walnuts, at least where I’m from, come from the Persian/English walnut tree, Juglans Regia.
Green almonds, right?

Technology@lemmy.world•SpaceX Triples Number of Rocket Launches in Two Years.English
298·1 year agoIf we stop doing business with SpaceX, we immediately demolish most of our capability to reach space, including the ISS until Starliner quits failing. Perhaps instead of trying to treat this as a matter of the free market we should recognize it as what it is - a matter of supreme economic and military importance - and force the Nazi fucker out.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Guide to Self Hosting LLMs Faster/Better than OllamaEnglish
2·1 year agoI’d be interested in setting up the highest quality models to run locally, and I don’t have the budget for a GPU with anywhere near enough VRAM, but my main server PC has a 7900x and I could afford to upgrade its RAM - is it possible, and if so how difficult, to get this stuff running on CPU? Inference speed isn’t a sticking point as long as it’s not unusably slow, but I do have access to an OpenAI subscription so there just wouldn’t be much point with lower quality models except as a toy.
Bevy, cause I’m a sucker for Rust

Technology@lemmy.world•Microsoft donates the Mono Project to the Wine teamEnglish
8·1 year agoWell they said .NET Framework, and I also wouldn’t be surprised if they more or less wrapped that up - .NET Framework specifically means the old implementation of the CLR, and it’s been pretty much superseded by an implementation just called .NET, formerly known as .NET Core (definitely not confusing at all, thanks Microsoft). .NET Framework was only written for Windows, hence the need for Mono/Xamarin on other platforms. In contrast, .NET is cross-platform by default.

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•FSR 3.1 vs DLSS 3.7 vs XeSS 1.3 Upscaling Battle, 5 Games Tested
4·2 years agoI’ve found it depends a lot on the game. In CP2077, DLSS+frame gen looks great to me with full raytracing enabled. But in The Witcher 3, I found frame gen to cause a lot of artifacts, and in PvP games I wouldn’t use regular DLSS/FSR. In general I’ve found the quality preset in DLSS to be mostly indistinguishable from native on 3440x1440, and I’m excited to try FSR 3 when I get the chance.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Federal agency warns critical Linux vulnerability being actively exploited
342·2 years agoThis is a use-after-free, which should be impossible in safe Rust due to the borrow checker. The only way for this to happen would be incorrect unsafe code (still possible, but dramatically reduced code surface to worry about) or a compiler bug. To allocate heap space in safe Rust, you have to use types provided by the language like
Box,Rc,Vec, etc. To free that space (in Rust terminology, dropping it by usingdrop()or letting it go out of scope) you must be the owner of it and there may be current borrows (i.e. no references may exist). Once the variable isdroped, the variable is dead so accessing it is a compiler error, and the compiler/std handles freeing the memory.There’s some extra semantics to some of that but that’s pretty much it. These kind of memory bugs are basically Rust’s raison d’etre - it’s been carefully designed to make most memory bugs impossible without using
unsafe. If you’d like more information I’d be happy to provide!
That’s the point. Malicious compliance.

science@lemmy.world•Nasa to create time standard for the Moon, where seconds tick faster than on Earth
38·2 years agoI’m only an armchair physicist, but I believe this isn’t possible due to relativity. I know that, at least, there are cases where two observers can disagree on whether an event occurred simultaneously. Besides all the other relativity weirdness, that alone seems to preclude a truly universal time standard. I would love for someone smarter than me to explain more and/or correct me though!
You’re looking for Fred Rogers, more commonly Mr. Rogers. He was the host of the popular children’s show Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, and is revered for having been incredibly compassionate both in public and private.

Linux@lemmy.ml•In your opinion, which distro should I try to edit videos stably?
1·2 years agoThe GPU I used is actually a 1080, with a (rapidly declining in usefulness) Intel 4690k. But I suppose laptop vs desktop can certainly make all the difference. What I really want is GPU virtualization, which I’ve heard AMD supports, but I’m not about to buy a new GPU when what I’ve got works fine.




Not yet I don’t think, but it’s progress at least.
