  • Super Nintendo Hardware Is Running Faster as It Ages

    Jump

  • The audio being processed faster can and will influence how fast each cycle runs. That will then mean extra FPS in at least some cases.

    It won't. The main game loop is driven by waiting for VBLANK, which is in simplified terms the analog equivalent to vsync.

    The speed of the main CPU in the SNES also isn't affected by the speed of the audio coprocessor. They operate independently from each other, with the CPU providing commands to control the program running on the SPC700.

    What it might do, however, is affect gameplay. The SPC700 clock variance is one of the major reasons why Super Metroid tool assisted speedruns had so much trouble being verified on real consoles. IIRC, Super Metroid waits for some sound effect to finish before performing certain actions, and that can cause the game state to differ from the state expected by the prerecorded inputs for that moment in time.

    Tesla Cybertrucks burn overnight in Seattle - KIRO Newsradio reporter threatened with knife while covering

  • I'm generally not one to believe in conspiracies, but this would actually have an excellent motivation. Elon would get to claw back the money lost of producing an undesired rust bucket through insurance claims while simultaneously getting to act like the victim of big bad scary librul' protests turned violent.

  • Oh, I just noticed the name of this removed. This one called me a Nazi for saying the Republican Party seems eager to be checking inside women's pants for the absence of penis.

  • Texas lawmakers file FURRIES Act, targeting animal roleplay in schools

    Jump

  • Whatever the hell you're smoking, it must be something good. I'm criticizing the Republican Party, not defending them.

    Or, if I'm misunderstanding and you're actually calling me a Nazi for thinking trans people should not be subjected to gential inspection, then you're in desperate need of a mirror.

  • Texas lawmakers file FURRIES Act, targeting animal roleplay in schools

    Jump

  • Uh, what? That sentence is borderline unreadable.

    I'm being hyperbolic when I say that the Republican Party wants to personally check what's in women's pants, but the reality is that they're disturbingly fucking focused on ensuring trans women can't be in women's bathrooms or women's sports. Nobody with a modicum of decency would try to predicate bathroom usage based on the absence or presence of a penis, yet they're constantly trying to present and push through legislation to do just that.

  • They're already underhandedly targeting autistic kids with it as-is. Vocal stims like meowing or nonverbal communication like growling are covered directly.

  • They're not small enough to fit in womens' size pants, but they sure are trying to fit in women's pants to personally check for the absence of male anatomy.

    Jump

  • Students who bark, meow, hiss or make other animal noises that are not human speech

    I'm not quite sure what it is exactly (/s), but maybe—just maybe—this is yet another attempt to fuck over and ostracize transfem and autistic people, but instead of being direct about it, using furries as the boogeyman.

  • Tesla complains about being target of retaliatory tariffs, and it was right: it's starting

  • There's plenty of other non-China EVs available in North America, and Tesla vehicles are terrible for plenty of other Elon-related reasons that aren't his political influence.

  • ‘Only Works as a State’: Trump Vows Not ‘To Bend’ On Tariffs Until Canada Is Absorbed Into The U.S.

    Jump

  • He really doesn't know when to shut up, does he?

    This won't turn out the way he expects it to. Canadians already seemed pretty happy to stop buying American goods and contributing to tourism, and the rest of the world no longer trusts us. Trying to strangle their economy by stifling trade goes both ways, and it's going to hurt the country that nobody wants to trade with a lot more than the one with plenty of opportunities to form new trade deals.

  • You'll never believe it, but I just invented a new type of AI a few seconds after reading your comment.

    I call it OSIRGT: One-Shot Immediate Regurgitation Generative Transformer.

    It starts out as an empty model of variable-count weights ranging from 0 to 255 between a linear sequence of parameters. Whenever you feed it training data, it uses the incoming stream of bytes to adjust the weight at position n to log2(2^k) * n^0 where k is the incoming byte. After a weight is updated, n is increased by 1 and the process repeats until all training data is consumed. To use the model, provide a finite stream of zeroes and it transforms the 0 into another number based on the weight between the current parameter and the next one.

    You may be asking yourself, "isn't that just an obtuse way to create a perfect copy of something?"

    And to that, my good human, I say: shut up and use this open-source model training program with a built-in BitTorrent client.

  • Trump's economic troubles put Republicans on the defensive

    Jump

  • The only concern they have is that their voters might realize that the GOP has been lying to them all along about how unimportant the Federal Government should be, and take away their cushy Government job at the polls.

    An excellent idea. If federal government is so unimportant, they should prove it and start by dismantling themselves.

  • Narcissism, ego, and wealth create one hell of a combination.

    He wants to be worshipped by the masses, but he's also the kind of person who needs to appear powerful and can't stand being in any position but first. He has to be the richest person while also being the most adored, and he isn't willing to sacrifice anything to achieve the latter.

  • Canada to announce C$29.8 billion in retaliatory tariffs on US, official says

    Jump

  • A different article suggests it might include electronics:

    These measures come on top of the initial $30 billion worth of U.S. imports that Canada slapped tariffs on earlier this month, in response to Trump’s U.S. International Emergency Economic Powers Act tariffs put in place March 4.

    According to the federal government, the list of additional products affected by counter-tariffs includes tools, computers and servers, display monitors, water heaters, sport equipment, and cast-iron products.

    If "computers" refers to components and not just prebuilt machines, this one is going to especially suck for Canadians. The processors used in consumer desktop computers are all designed by American corporations, and so are the graphics cards. It remains to be seen if they'll only apply on things assembled in America, but if not, it's going to be painful for yall.

    There's no knowing for certain, but "Trump's ego" and "Vladimir Putin" make for relatively good educated guesses.
