  • Nvidia GeForce Now’s Time Limit Will Stop Gamers After 100 Hours Each Month

    Jump

  • Let's be generous and say $100. That's 6 months with the most expensive tier.

    That should be plenty to get a gaming PC capable of playing latest AAA titles in 4k 60 fps and high settings.

    It's one computer, Michael. What could it cost, 10 dollars?

  • I paid $200 for ultimate for a year and got borderlands 4 included in it.

    You'd be challenged to build a decent gaming PC for 3 times that.

  • You're pushing code to prod without pr's and code reviews? What kind of jank-ass cowboy shop are you running?

    It doesn't matter if an llm or a human wrote it, it needs peer review, unit tests and go through QA before it gets anywhere near production.

  • It's using an x86 compatibility layer, pex i think it was called. So apparently you will be running windows x86 games on it.

    Edit: fex! https://github.com/FEX-Emu/FEX

    Edit 2, from tom's hardware article:

    The company also showed off the x86 version of Hades 2 running standalone (as in not streaming from a PC) on the Steam Frame. And the game ran just fine and looked good at what Valve reps told me was 1400p in a window inside the headset

  • It regurgitates old code, it cannot come up with new stuff.

    The trick is, most of what you write is basically old code in new wrapping. In most projects, I'd say the new and novel part is maybe 10% of the code. The rest is things like setting up db models, connecting them to base logic, set up views, api endpoints, decoding the message on the ui part, displaying it to user, handling input back, threading things so UI doesn't hang, error handling, input data verification, basic unit tests, set up settings, support reading them from a file or env vars, making UI look not horrible, add translatable text, and so on and on and on. All that has been written in some variation a million times before. All can be written (and verified) by a half-asleep competent coder.

    The actual new interesting part is gonna be a small small percentage of the total code.

  • That's kinda wrong though. I've seen llm's write pretty good code, in some cases even doing something clever I hadn't thought of.

    You should treat it as any junior though, and read the code changes and give feedback if needed.

  • I've used Claude code to fix some bugs and add some new features to some of my old, small programs and websites. Not things I can't do myself, but things I can't be arsed to sit down and actually do.

    It's actually gone really well, with clean and solid code. easily readable, correct, with error handling and even comments explaining things. It even took a gui stream processing program I had and wrote a server / webapp with the same functionality, and was able to extend it with a few new features I've been thinking to add.

    These are not complex things, but a few of them were 20+ files big, and it manage to not only navigate the code, but understand it well enough to add features with the changes touching multiple files (model, logic, view layer for example, or refactor a too big class and update all references to use the new classes).

    So it's absolutely useful and capable of writing good code.

  • I've found it useful to write test units once you'we written one or two, write specific functions and small scripts. For example some time ago I needed a script that found a machine's public ip, then post that to an mqtt topic along with timestamp, with config abstracted out in a file.

    Now there's nothing difficult with this, but just looking up what libraries to use and their syntax takes some time, along with actually writing the code. Also, since it's so straight forward, it's pretty boring. ChatGPT wrote it in under two minutes, working perfectly on first try.

    It's also been helpful with bash scripts, powershell scripts and ansible playbooks. Things I don't really remember the syntax on between use, and which are a bit arcane / exotic. It's just a nice helper to have for the boring and simple things that still need to be done.

  • Just can’t waste time on trying to make it do anything complicated because that never goes well.

    Yeah, that's a waste of time. However, it can knock out simple code you can easily write yourself, but is boring to write and take time out of working on the real problems.

  • uh.. So that's it, the apache server version? That's all? I looked at the critical cve's for that version, and honestly, they'd require a pretty specific setup to be abused if I understood them correctly. Most of them were various DoS with no information disclosure, and the only spooky one I saw require the server to have scripts the server is allowed to execute, but outside of the normal url mapping. Which then would have to be disclosing some info or doing something spooky. The rest seem to require the attacker to control the app behind the apache2 server.

    Would be better to upgrade, of course, but it looks nowhere near as bad as the blog author makes it sound.

  • This case also highlights how the use of artificial intelligence (AI) can potentially contribute to the development of preventable adverse health outcomes. Based on the timeline of this case, it appears that the patient either consulted ChatGPT 3.5 or 4.0 when considering how he might remove chloride from this diet. Unfortunately, we do not have access to his ChatGPT conversation log and we will never be able to know with certainty what exactly the output he received was, since individual responses are unique and build from previous inputs.

    However, when we asked ChatGPT 3.5 what chloride can be replaced with, we also produced a response that included bromide. Though the reply stated that context matters, it did not provide a specific health warning, nor did it inquire about why we wanted to know, as we presume a medical professional would do.
