As I’m not shopping in US, maybe my search is faulty, but that’s one I’ve found: https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-Gaming-RadeonTM-Graphics-DisplayPort/dp/B0BSVMX9DW?th=1
Ok, but if performance really will be comparable to 4080, it seems that it will be much cheaper than more or less similar rx 7900 xtx. Or the latter will drop significantly

Sources I’ve found say ~600$. And I don’t get it. I just checked, 7900xtx costs 1.6k$ rn. If 9070 really is comparable to RX 4080, then they are going to sell it for +/- the current price of 7800XT?
Illusion — Why do we keep believing that AI will solve the climate crisis (which it is facilitating), get rid of poverty (on which it is heavily relying), and unleash the full potential of human creativity (which it is undermining)?
Because we keep reading sensationalist advertisements presented as articles instead of experimenting with it ourselves, understanding what it is
And unfortunately, this article is also just a response to media clickbait, not a discussion point it tries to look like
In general whatever anyone does to anything, current userbase will 90% of the time be against it. But
“Next, we’ll remove all the action buttons with their superfluous interaction counts from the main timeline,” Musk posted in a subscriber-only post on X in October of last year. “Just view count will show, unless you tap into a post.”
So the main thing will be views. Not how many agree, how many object. Views
And probably it will also become the main analytic datapoint
Shit in, shit out
Prince Wang’s programmer was coding software. His fingers danced upon the keyboard. The program compiled without and error message, and the program ran like a gentle wind.
“Excellent!” the Prince exclaimed. “Your technique is faultless!”
“Technique?” said the programmer, turning from his terminal, “What I follow is Tao – beyond all techniques! When I first began to program, I would see before me the whole problem in one mass. After three years, I no longer saw this mass. Instead, I used subroutines. But now I see nothing. My whole being exists in a formless void. My senses are idle. My spirit, free to work without a plan, follows its own instinct. In short, my program writes itself. True, sometimes there are difficult problems. I see them coming, I slow down, I watch silently. Then I change a single line of code and the difficulties vanish like puffs of idle smoke. I then compile the program. I sit still and let the joy of the work fill my being. I close my eyes for a moment and then log off.”
Antichamber is hidden gem or simply forgotten? I don’t know how much attention it got in its time.
It’s a puzzle platformer but I was feeling my brain bend the whole game. And at the same time I never felt like the new mechanic was explained too little or something was artificially dragged out. Very good design.
IMO it was better than Portals
If I’m not mixing something up, they also created Overgrowth (third-person action platformer with rabbits beating up wolfs). And in order to distribute it without messing with third party services, they’ve created Humble Bundle. They sold it to some company later but for a long time it was them putting together the bundles.
It’s a little off-topic, I know
Ah, so survival base building is a good lead. I’m not into this genre but I’ve heard about these (in order as they came to my mind):
I don’t get it. The game is, at least in my understanding, directly referencing VtM and WoD. While I’m not sure if there aren’t some clans defined in some expansion book, definitely there is such thing as “core clans”. As in clans that are defined in core rulebook. Why are they announcing these one by one?
This won’t be the most exhaustive rundown you could get but since the question is already 14h old, something is better than nothing.
Yes, this is the first game of this studio (or first they came up with themselves). I think the main selling point of the game is that it’s based on a work of Stanisław Lem - writer of science fiction and essays on various subjects, including philosophy, futurology.
I think they even have some sort of exclusivity that in the closest future only they have the rights to publish games officially tied to his works
TIL about loss aversion bias and I think it fits here perfectly
From what I learned at university:
CISC instruction set (x86) was developed to adress the technical reality of its time - time costly CPU operation and fast read from storage. Not long after that the situation has changed - storage reads became slower in comparison to computing time (putting it simply it’s faster to read an archive and unpack it than to read unpacked thing). But in the meantime the PC boom has happened. In a way backward compatibility and market inertia locked us with instruction set that is not the best optimised for our tech, despite the fact that RISC (for example ARM) was conceived earlier.
In a way software (compilers and interpreters too) is like a muscle. The more/wider it’s used, the better it becomes. You can be writing in python but if your interpreter has some missed optimization opportunities, your code will be running faster on architecture with a better optimized interpreter available.
From personal observations:
The biggest cost of software is not to write something super efficient. It’s maintainability (readability and debugging), ease of use (onboarding/training time) and versatility (“let’s add the feature that is missing to what we have, instead of reinventing the wheel and maintaining two toolsets”).
The new languages are not created because they can do something faster than assembler (they can’t, btw). If assembly code is written as optimal as possible, high level languages can at best be as fast. Writing such assembly is a problem behind the keyboard, not a technical limitation. The only thing high-level languages do better is how much time it takes a human to work with it.
I would not be surprised to learn that bigger part of these big bucks you mention go not into optimization but rather into “how can we work around that difference so the high-level interface stays the same as for more widely used x86?”
In the end it all boils down to machine code - it’s the only thing that really exists when it comes to executing code. If your “human to bits translator” produces unoptimized binaries, it doesn’t matter how high-level your code was written in.
And sometime in the meantime we’ve arrived at a level when even a few behemoths like Google or Microsoft throwing money into research (not that I believe they are doing so when it comes to optimization) is enough.
It’s the field use that from time to time provides a use-case that helps finding edge-case where optimization can be made.
To purposefully find it? Dumping your datacenter in liquid nitrogen might be cheaper and probably more predictable.
So yeah, I mostly agree with him.
Maybe the times have changed a little, the thing that gave RISCs the most kick were smartphones, then one board computers, so not long ago. The improvements are always bigger at the beginning.
But the fact that some companies are trying to get RISC back into userland in my opinion means that the computer world has only started to heal itself after the effects of PC boom. There’s around 20 year difference where x86 was the main thing and RISC was a niche
In 5-10 years time these will be “recommended system requirements”
I’ve found this. Personally I would not say the difference is worth having another name, maybe for the sake of differentiating between the ratios.
But it seems that indeed 4K is not 2160p 🤷
people developing this game must have been put through
I’m Out Of The Loop, could you please expand on what you refer to? You mean this?
Gnome is quite heavy, before you succumb to the void of choosing the best prompt format, try some other, lighter WMs. I like Fluxbox very much; XFCE is lighter than Gnome/KDE but still similar; i3 is also lightweight.
I guess there might be some light Firefox forks, or maybe even go back to iceweasel?
As for command line, check out:
- tmux
- zsh (it’s completion mechanisms are imo better than bash)
- mc
- how to define your shortcuts as functions inside every login shell, instead of using aliases which are easier but have limitations
Btw, slackware still maintains x32
And there’s also arch32
