Week 6/24/24 PHB class reveals schedule
  • thanks, i didn't know that was coming

  • Week 6/24/24 PHB class reveals schedule
  • i don't understand.

    my PHB already has rogue, warlock, druid, wizard and ranger?!
    even Paladin and Cleric are there!

  • Ferrari Makes History: Wins Monaco GP and Le Mans in Same Year, First Since 1934 when Alfa Romeo accomplished the same feat !
  • yeah, weird that the same title sponsor of a team never won both.
    I assume the overlap in sponsors is significant?

  • EU prepares DMA penalties against Apple over App Store
  • I was hoping for this.
    Apples new App-Store rules seemed to mock the intent of the Digital Markets Act.

  • Deleted
    Starship Flight 4 milestones effect changes to Flight 5's Ship
  • I stumbled over that too.

  • GameStop Set to Jump as Keith Gill Post Shows $116 Million Bet
  • how is publicising stuff like this not market manipulation?

  • "I want to live forever in AI"
  • I wonder how you ever could "upload" a consciousness without Ship-of-Theseusing a Brain.

    Cyberpunk2077 also has this "upload vs copy" issue, but doesn't actually make you think about it too hard.

  • RocketStar Successfully Demonstrates FireStar™ Nuclear Fusion-Enhanced Pulsed Plasma Propulsion Drive - The Debrief
  • yeah, but it's not nearly as good as it seems.

    ion thruster with a tiny bit of extra thrust snd ISP because of fusion reactions.

  • Secure Operating Systems (Microkernels seems to be the future)
  • well, doesn't it make sense when the business-model is to recoup R&D cost of the console with expensive games?
    DRM becomes much harder once you can't trust the system anymore.

    Nintendo tried to lock the system down, and got fucked by NVIDIA.

  • Any idea what happened here?
  • Looks like a partial clogged nozzle to me.

    Just happened to happen at that height. If I'm right it should Start at the bottom on the next print as well.

    Cold pull should be the solution.

  • Switch V1 still worth it in 2024?
  • It's possible but is a lot more complicated with later switches.
    First gen was super easy. I think current one needs a mod-chip installed to Boot custom Firmware (which you need for ROMs)

  • 2024 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix - [POST RACE] discussion thread
  • I believe sky mentioned that the jump-start sensors didn't trip, indicating that he didn't cross (or touch?) the line.

    Basically he stopped far enough back that his movement did not leave his designated area.

  • Yuzu Nintendo Switch Emulator Lives On With The Nuzu, Suyu Projects
  • But they also showed with what they will come for you.
    If you outsource decryption from emulation, they can't do it (this way) again

  • Switch emulator Yuzu responds to Nintendo's lawsuit
  • I don't think so.
    But maybe Emulators need to change how they work.
    Externalize a small, relatively simple tool to decrypt the ROM.
    and a complicated, actively developed Emulator, that can only read decrypted ROMs.

    With that, the Emulator shouldn't be attackable the same way yuzu was.

  • Switch emulator Yuzu responds to Nintendo's lawsuit
  • Oh, I mean there's nothing there.

    A Court Document shows that Yuzu got a lawyer and will answer within 60 days of 2024-02-27.

    The Answer will be the interesting bit. It may indicate if they wish to fight, or if they deem it not worth the effort.

  • [Jellyfin] Announcing Finamp's Redesign Beta (v0.9.2-beta)
  • Curious if this will fix my one issue I have with Finamp.

    I have some quite large playlists I'd like to listen on shuffle. Finamp doesn't do that well at all. (It seems it only shuffles what it has cached or something, as it seems to shuffle "only" the first 100 or so songs. of 3000+)

  • Nintendo is sueing Yuzu
  • Emulation itself is legal, which is why the complaint is about circumvention of protections under the DMCA.
    Nintendo alleges that Yuzu does that, and while it needs the help of prod.keys for it, yuzu does give instruction on how to obtain that. Nintendo argues that this shows how Yuzu is there (primarily) to break their protections.

    Now, Yuzu has some defenses.

    1. It may argue that the point "limited commercially significant purpose or use other than to circumvent a technological measure that effectively controls access to a work protected" may be moot, as yuzu has no commercially significant purpose. The 30k they get per month in donations won't help that case much, but a nice calculation about 212 contributors to the project over 10 years may soften that counter argument.
    2. It may argue that Yuzu allows disabled people better access to games, as their controller configurations are way more open than Nintendos.
    3. It may argue that they (or more specifically the prod.keys issue) is covered by Interoperability. I.e. they are making an Emulator for Homebrew (100% legal). Now that they have this work, for interoperabilities sake (of Yuzu with official switch games), they include instructions on prod.keys stuff on their homepage.

    Most realistic outcome (as I expect):
    Yuzu is taken down, the open source project continues, but at a much slower rate. The Case is dropped.

    The outcome that I'd love to see (but seems way less realistic):
    Yuzu gets a significant bump in donations from people angry about this, decide to go to trial and wins.
    Result: Yuzu gets more money, Nintendo has cemented more protections for Emulation.

  • Nintendo is sueing Yuzu
  • goddamn it, I really hope that Nintendo will get laughed out of court, but it seems to me (IANAL) that they may have a case. Although Yuzu will have some defenses as well.

    Ars Technica has a writeup about this, that seems decent.

    They expect that this won't go to trial, because yuzu won't be able to pay for it.
    Maybe the community should think about changing that.

  • I’m 18 — and facing jail because I won’t fight for Israel
  • Yes, most people are not interesting. True for Emi/Imi-gration as well as dating. And in both cases it's tough to hear.

  • You largely can choose the provider of this service, but they will also choose you (or not).
    And you can not refrain from the service while being in the community of those that don't refrain. In practice there are (nearly) no places where the community as a whole chooses to refrain.

    If you're in a country with compulsory military service, make yourself interesting for other countries and leave.

  • Making Awesome 166 - Bambu Lab, Segment about Bambu and decrypted Bambu Logs.

    Apparently some group has broken Bambus encryption.

    Apparently, as he claims, the logs reveal not only (further) licensing issues with Bambu, they also apparently send the complete Model you want to print to Bambu, which would be a huge issue for any companies using them.

    What do you think? Anyone ever checked on the size of the logs? Does it make sense that they actually send the whole Model?

    /e: clarification, apparently the logs do not get sent to bambu by default on every print (even while in LAN-Mode) as it can be understood here, but all of this info is in the logs you can manually choose to send to Bambu (i.e. in the case of an issue with a print(/er) bambu is reasonably likely to ask for this).

    Tesla shows Optimus Gen 2 on Nitter

    I've just found this Optimus Gen 2 demo, and I thought it's quite interesting.

    The Hands are surreal, the gait is still weird, but from what I understand it's a lot easier to walk without an outstretched joint in robotics (avoiding singularity in the kinematics).

    Very curious to see if they just did the "easy" 0-80% and will kinda get stuck here, or will keep improving rapidly.

    Really looks like it may be used on assembly lines in another year or so. But this is promotion, so looking like that is kinda the point.

    what do we think the runtime of these is untethered? If they have a full AI stack in them, won't they need quite a bit of compute power?

    is masscoin.vip a scam?

    Hey there.

    All my scam-alarmbells are ringing, but I'd like to have a little perspective because I never got into trading with crypto at all.

    A friend of mine apparently put about $70k in different crypto into masscoin.vip Then there seem to have been some hijinx with mistyped adresses, and talks with support later, masscoin.vip representatives tell my friend, that they need to fork over another 10% of their holdings, so another $7k, to validate their account or something.

    This has to be a scam, right? The Money is gone, and since it was put in via crypto there is no way to recover it?
