Is PC gaming on your TV the real selling point of the steam machine?

Now I have the theme from A Series Of Unfortunate Events in my head again.

I don't mind

I love this so much

> It did fall to the usual “model killers”: the nine-pointed star, Count Rugen, the overcrowded flat Earth.

I'd never heard of text to image model killers so I had a good chuckle at this. Such oddly specific things for us to arrive at as a test method

Dwarf Fortress 3D obviously

Fun fact: Ireland used to be referred to as "wolf-land" by the English because the island was overrun with wolves. The last wolf was killed here in 1786, now we're one of the only places in Europe with no wolves, apart from a handful of European ones in captivity.

Russia has the largest nuclear arsenal on earth, and we have no issue sanctioning them excessively.

Since it's not locked down I assume you could install windows on it

> This is probably the worst job market I've seen in a while.

What a noncommittal sentence

Chrome OS is literally an operating system that's 90% through chromium

Ok but - and again I'm trying not to be negative, simply trying to understand - if you want a flight sim that works on Windows 10 and supports 4k HDR, wouldn't it be a lot easier to just build it from scratch, rather than trying to decompile a game from 1989 that came on 5¼ inch floppies? I mean, even if someone just _gave_ you the source code of the 1989 game it would be more work to port it to Windows or as a feature than it would be to just build your own 90s era air combat game in c++ without any baggage.

Is it simply about squeezing more out of a classic game we love?

Noob question. I really hope this doesn't come across as negativity.

I love that people spend time on making old games work, but why do people decompile games that can be emulated by DOSbox or the like? Surely a game this old runs absolutely fine on even very low end hardware?

No, absolutely not, and that's my point. A real test would be having to type the definition, or pick from ten options

If you didn't already know what Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia was, it's very easy to guess from four options.

I agree there were too many clicks per word, I took me too long to finish. But I also found it too easy to guess the few words I did not know

I can easily recall the Duke nukem music, even though I haven't played it in about two decades

> For the non technical, this is like asking a delivery driver to drop off packages at 3 houses at the same time without ever stopping the truck.

I'm already hallucinating about how this could work and it involves catapults

I'm happy to report I can see much more than 3 out every window.

Lovely to see the entire process of planning all the way through building, and it's a nice change from the usual type of project shown on HN, and even a change from the way in which woodwork projects are normally presented

Good job

Further evidence that SpaceX is no longer a space company but a elaborate con to make Elon richer

I love it!

fair point

Gpt2 was too dangerous to release. We just don't see it yet.

Sure, the model itself was harmless, but it lit the fuse

No, spaceX is based on the idea that Elon Musk likes rockets but loves money. The IPO proves that - the company pivoted to renting server capacity through xAI and pushing a ridiculous plan to put server farms in space via their constantly exploding starship as a means to inflate stock and make him a trillionaire.

I have another alternative: you could simply prefix the km with ,000

I'm delighted to see at least someone is trying this. There are also millions of old laptops discarded every year, often with perfectly capable motherboards, but with minor issues outside of the compute (keyboards, screens, dead battery) which are just not economical to repair. Surely with the right software you can turn 10x 8GB i5 motherboards into something more than the sum of it's parts?

Plenty of laptops have Ethernet, and as for fanless, a lot of people choose active cooling for a pi5

You might be surprised how small a laptop motherboard can be. Once you take away screen, keyboard, battery, speakers, daughter boards and all that, you can have an actively cooled motherboard as slim as a pi and not much bigger.

If you need something really tiny, an esp32 can do a lot of what we used to use a pi for. Driving an eink display for example

Pi's attraction was that it was a cheap hobby computer. I could buy a whole laptop for that money.

I know RAM prices are crazy right now, but I just bought a 16gb Ryzen 7 motherboard to repair an IdeaPad for €70

(stupid typo - it was meant to be put in some RAM to verify it actually works)

I never got into HWR. I already type faster than I write with a pen. Waiting for it to convert my scribbles to text, even if it gets it right first time, is just a painfully slow process even on an ipad pro. I'd rather just use a touchscreen keyboard to write
