  • No, but yes.

    Everything Reddit does these days is for the sake of the shareholders, advertisers, and Spez's whims. They're not intentionally trying to destroy Reddit the website as much as they're trying to turn it into algorithmic social media slop that promotes doomscrolling and advertising revenue over community and genuine human interaction.

    Throw in a sprinkle of Spez aspiring to be Elon Musk's left shoe, and you have absurd censorship designed to drive away dissenters and users who don't conform with Reddit's target audience.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Owners and investors benefit the most from taking advantage of their employees, but upper level management in large corporations tend to be significantly overpaid and incentivized to screw the people underneath them.

    I would have a bit more sympathy towards CEO if they both weren't paid 10x the salary of the lowest paid employees and given bonuses tied to company growth and profit.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Yall might want to buy computers and electronics ASAP if you need them. This article says they're included this time:

  • Lucky! You have hot singles in your area spam folder, and all I get is blatant blackmail scams telling me they have my (wrong) phone number and that there's nation-state Spyware on my phone recording videos every time I dare to stroke some sausage.
