  • Games: you want your inputs handled ASAP, ideally <5ms, but if one or two happen after 100ms, you’ll likely not notice. If you enable RT, maybe all your inputs get handled after 10ms consistently, which ends up feeling sluggish.

    Actually I think its the other way for gaming: If you have consistent input delay, it will not feel sluggish. Same why consistent 30 fps feels better than varying 31 to 39 fps. Similar for gaming, especially if you play speedrun or 1vs1 fighting games, you would want to have consistent delay. However, if that adds too much delay its probably counterproductive. But for single player games, a consistent delay is the opposite of sluggish.


  • Edit: Like always, I was wrong again. :D If I had read the actual post here, then I’d knew this was someone trying to get help for homework.


    The user prompts reads like written by Ai. It looks like some system was trying to break the system until it gives nonsense reply (telling to die). The prompt literally tells what to include in the answer, it does not ask:

    add more to this: "Older adults may be more trusting and less likely to question the intentions of others, making them easy targets for scammers. Another example is cognitive decline; this can hinder their ability to recognize red flags, like c …

    It tries to force specific answers. I’m almost convinced this was not a honest discussion with the Ai, but trying to break it. Please read the actual chat (linked from the article): https://gemini.google.com/share/6d141b742a13


  • Maybe they really was comparing the dominance position only, not being a usable alternative. Although Firefox does not work for everything and Chrome or other browsers are required instead (such as streaming with Xbox games in browser), so there is that. If we only speak about market dominance and the ability to change that, yes, then I agree that Firefox/Mozilla is not in a position to do that at the moment.

    Firefox should be used alone for the fact that it has superior addon support for ad blockers. That’s a real world difference and reason, not just some ideology (as it was it in the past for me).


  • As I understand it, most kernel operations can’t be interrupted (i.e., they’re non-preemptible). But PREEMPT_RT allows high-priority tasks to interrupt lower-priority ones near-instantly. For specific types of tasks this improves response times and thus performance.

    I never looked into the details of realtime Kernel. I know it is or was used for professional realtime audio mixing and recording and such. Besides that, if this improves response times, would gaming benefit from this? What are downsides for using a realtime Kernel for gaming?




  • Do not read if you like Ai. … or read especially, if you like Ai?

    They promise this with every generation. Reality is that Ai and LLMs require human input. If more and more Ai is used, less human input is generated -> less growth and improvements for Ai. This is the chicken or egg problem, but in reverse, kind of. They can’t even count the R’s in “strawberry” in example. Not sure if ChatGPT can do it now, but this was a problem not long ago.

    I personally do not want an Ai that does stuff like booking a flight for me. It starts with booking a flight, let it buy food automatically, do these, do that… lose your control of your own life. Do not learn to program, let it program for you. In the end you become a slave of the Ai. I know this is futuristic imagination, but so is the future of Ai promised with these posts.


  • I’m surprised this was understood wrongly. If the EU blocks it EU wide, then it is blocked country/nation wide in my country. I never said EU is a country. But discussion about these language stuff just takes away from the actual problem and topic of the issue I was talking about. But if that is the important stuff you guys want to talk about, well go ahead.

    And it does not matter if this is official or not for what I was talking about. People who don’t live in my country should not decide what access I should have.







  • Blocking an entire community, service or application blocks access to non disinformation and normal communication too. Instead fight against the specific issues. Or with your logic we need to ban every platform such as Reddit, Facebook, YouTube, Twitch, Discord and even Wikipedia. Because misinformation is everywhere.

    I don’t want anyone decide for myself what to use. If I want to use Twitter, that should be MY decision, not yours, not the one with the campaign here and certainly not any government.
