I just stopped caring about votes. It's often driven by inertia, and it can't differentiate a vote from someone who doesn't know anything vs a domain expert. Life is better once you stop caring about karma points.

It's really Venezuela's fault for trying to join NATO /s

I would imagine they would disable the user-facing "load x86_64 Mach-O's seamlessly" and other loader magic, and keep around the core for such things.

I was saying some of the top contributors of Dolphin are also top contributors of this project based on GitHub data.

I believe a lot of the folks working on FEX are also core contributors to Dolphin, the Wii/GC emulator.

Does Larry really lack enough self awareness to not realize these kind of statements make him sound like an orwellian super villain, or perhaps he does and simply does not care?

The latter is surely more frightening.

MFG is almost certainly still interpolation. I'm guessing Reflex 2 is more akin to extrapolation, and might be getting the media to cross wires?

Yeah, in hindsight I should have figured it was more generated frames presented at a lower frame times (shorter period).

The Digital Foundry initial impressions are promising, but for me with a 144hz monitor that prefers V-Sync with an an FPS cap slightly below, I'm not sure using 3x or 4x mode will be desirable with such a setup, since that would seemingly make your input lag comparable to 30fps. It seems like these modes are best used when you have extremely high refresh rate monitors (pushing 240hz+).

I just saw the Digital Foundry results, and that's honestly really good.

I'm guessing users will self tune to use 2x/3x/4x based on their v-sync preference then.

3 Generated frames sounds like a lot of lag, probably a sickening amount for many games. The magic of "blackwell flip metering" isn't quite described yet.

Deploying some sort of TPM remote attestation for DRM requires every component from every vendor to play nice, so I don't think you'll ever see that rolled out for Windows.

I would guess that the actual push for TPM is to have 'better' BitLocker, and Passkey support.

In practice the default BitLocker+TPM configuration isn't that great (no user entropy/pin, dTPM is basically worthless).

I have no actual understanding for how TPM is involved for Windows Hello/WebAuthn/Passkey or whatever, but at a glance it would seem Biometrics without a TEE seems like a very weak link.

I'm a coke zero guy

I think there's a large pool of good talent that can't fully be trusted to do the right thing (not slack off), but can be employed successfully with sufficient guardrails (return to office).

Loosely related anecdote why I feel so:

For a while right after Apple started its mandatory RTO and ramped up Caffe Macs, the soda "grab n go" sections had an honor system - you paid your $1.25 for a coke and went on your way. Apparently there was a _lot_ of petty theft of drinks, so they have a person with an iPad check you off now, and I assume theft has basically plummeted since there's far less employees brazen enough to just barge off with one without checking off their name.

So maybe the RTO is effective in someway? Or maybe the real lesson is that the soda should have been free to begin with.

When is the Swift rewrite?

I don't plan on buying any form of spinning media ever again in my life.
