They were probably talking about an accelerator card. That would make sense if the writer isn't familiar with them and Romello wanted to simplify things a bit and just called it a compute upgrade or something.

I'm working on generating Minecraft structures using Starlark. https://github.com/wmill/starlark-to-nbt/ The plan is to add it to my Minecraft MCP so I can have the llm build complex structures without too ma

Marvel Rivals quietly matched your team up with bots if you lost twice in a row. I think that was a good system.

I've been working on MCP integration with Minecraft so that you can build with AI. It's silly and useless but I'm having fun.

Another suspected issue is dodging the draft during WW2 by pretending to be too old. In rural areas with shoddy record keeping you can get away with pretending to be your dead uncle.

The US (as well as other countries) has weird hangups because there's not a lot of granularity in prescription rules and insurance won't cover things unless they require a prescription. So patients and doctors fight to have things

They said they were going to release actual cartridges in 2026. I'm not sure if it has happened yet.

Does anyone have a video of it on an actual CRT TV? Looking at the youtube gameplay, it looks like it would have some problems with text on the overscan getting cropped. I am curious how some of the effects look on a CRT.

So I had an idea for a music app that tries to minimize the amount of music theory needed to play as a group. Basically you pick a key, then it's just 7 buttons that play the notes in that key. Actually 21 because there are three octav

Its big weakness is that they didn't realize how much multilayered backgrounds made things pop. The sprites look really good, but the single background layer makes things look flat compared to the SNES / Genesis. Devs started work

CD drives were still expensive and a bit flakey at that point. It might have worked by packing in extra games. Sega of America was just really good at understanding the US market. Sega did a US launch (August 29, 1989) of the Genesis 9 mont

It was actually a big success in Japan. NEC America completely botched everything in the US market. In Japan it came out in 1987, two years before the Sega Genesis. In the US it launched a few weeks after the Genesis. The pack in game was b

So for anyone looking into old school graphics programming, bit planes are pretty confusing when you don't understand why they exist. Two big reasons. First, it's about running memory chips in parallel to increase bandwidth. Image

Cell carriers sell geofenced data about cell phones in an area at a given time to anyone. There's zero privacy. KYC laws mean that his carrier has his name and email address and the feds probably got that without anyone informing the c

Window management is one thing that MacOS has long been weirdly bad at. I think there's a conflict between the users who use it on studio displays and users who use it on 13 inch laptops. The Mac team at apple won't pick a side or

Reporters for The Times of Israel get a lot of death threats. I doubt this was the author's first one. So it's common and hard to prosecute because the person threatening is most likely in another country.

The difference is that the server gives a description of the api it understands in enough detail that the llm can make use of it. MCP is still going to be handy enough for iot type devices, where an llm can discover what's actually sup

The danger is mechanical, not chemical. Think small sharp needles that you can breathe in. Chemically it's just silicates. So you can melt it at high temperatures or do various other processes to get rid of it. I'm not sure what t

No tolerance for people trying to live in the country without going through the legal process. Public policy discussions always get boiled down to some simple wording that isn't strictly accurate.

What's truly infuriating is how awful the tagging on Audible is. "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" is tagged sci-fi.

Andy Weir does a tight well placed adventure better than most. I can see that you wouldn't like him if you're more into characters than plot, but that's not what everyone wants.

Interestingly, that was due to the top editor at a major sci fi publisher being really into psychics.
