amenotef , to android in Vulkan support is coming to Android apps on Windows 11
@amenotef@lemmy.world avatar

I play warzone with my friends and they all own a Playstation 4 or 5.

So I ended up using the android playstation app in Windows 11 so we can all share VoIP all the time when playing.

First I tried the WSA. But it was impacting games performance. Stuttering every 30 seconds. Other thing I didn’t like from WSA is that it installs Hyper-V or something like that (that causes VMWare to not like AMD-V setting).

Then I tried bluestack limiting the app to just 1 core and this one doesn’t seem to impact game performance. So I’m staying with bluestack.

I have an 5800X3D CPU. And game is generally GPU bottlenecked for me.

I’ve been emulating an app in my laptop using WSA and it definitely kicks the cpu into gear

EveningPancakes , to games in Microsoft and Activision have formed a new team within Blizzard to work on smaller 'AA' games based on existing IP

Maybe we’ll get a new Lost Vikings?

I hope not, I use it a lot for quickly programming answers and prototypes and for theory on my actuarial science MBA.

SoJB ,

Is 1) the fact that an LLM can be indistinguishable from your original thought and 2) an MBA (lmfao) supposed to be impressive?

I don’t think that person is bragging, just saying why it’s useful to them

I find you can just run local models for that. For example, I’ve been using gpt4all with a the phind model and it works reasonably well

If you have a GPU, it should work, but will take longer to generate answers than an online service likely.

Manmoth ,

I use it all the time for work especially for long documents and formatting technical documentation. It’s all but eliminated my removed work. A lot of people are sour on AI because “it’s not going to deliver on generative AI etc etc” but it doesn’t matter. It’s super useful and we’ve really only scratched the surface of what it can be used for.

monobot ,

I also thing we just need to find use cases where it is working.

While it will not solve everything, it did solve some things. Like you have found, I have used it for generating simple artwork for internal documents, that would never get design funding (even if it would I would have spent much more time dealing with designer), rewriting sentences so it sounds better, grammar check, quick search engine, enciclopedia, copywriting some non important texts…

I would pay few bucks per month if it wasn’t free. I gave it to grammarly and barely use it.

So I guess next step is just reducing cost of running those models, which is not that hard as we can see by open source space.

arran4 , to technology in OpenAI could be on the brink of bankruptcy in under 12 months, with projections of $5 billion in losses

This sounds like FUD to me. If it were it would be acquired pretty quickly.

jackyalcine ,

They’re wholly owned by Microsoft so it’d probably be mothballed at worst.

arran4 ,

For another conversation I need some evidence of that, where did you find it?

jackyalcine ,

I was wrong!

Thanks

Fiivemacs , to games in "We're not blessed with big marketing budgets," Xbox's EMEA marketing lead laments Microsoft's lack of investment

Does it really need it…the entire friggin world knows Xbox, PlayStation or Nintendo. Basically anything else isn’t worth the effort or its PC. Advertising is such a joke

@acosmichippo@lemmy.world avatar

if you’re trying to convince people to buy an xbox instead of a playstation, yeah. And keep current xboxers within the ecosystem. post-purchase affirmation is a big component of advertising too.

style99 ,

You mean their games are a joke. Hard to imagine someone wanting an xbox over a PS5/Switch.

Sweet! I was just being funny with my GIF, but I do honestly love the OS ecosystem, and think that everyone will like it more than Windows if only they’d give it the proper opportunity.

HotsauceHurricane ,

Im running a manjaro+openbox disto called MABOX linux on my chromebook. It’s fantastic for the low spec nonsense machine. But def considering fedora for the surface. Its come a long way apparently.

I’m actually having issues with fedora silverblue not updating. It’s pretty frustrating, but a risk I knew going into immutable. I don’t have time right now to figure out a fix. Regardless, I would totally do fedora again and recommend it to nonbeginners. It’s an awesome variant, even coming into it from debian-based distros with only cursory knowledge of dnf.

HotsauceHurricane ,

I feel ya. I tried to revert back to kernel 6.7 from 6.9 and now my chromebook is being a turd.

Why is Lemmy showing me news from the 00’s?

autotldr Bot , to pcgaming in Ubisoft and NVIDIA are working together on AI-generated NPCs for upcoming games

This is the best summary I could come up with:


In the midst of all of that success, NVIDIA is working on smaller and larger initiatives, but they all seem to have one thing in common: they are AI-centered.

One of these smaller initiatives comes from Ubisoft Paris, where a small team is testing out how to use AI, specifically Nvidia’s Audio2Face application and Inworld’s Large Language Model (LLM), to try to make a new generation of NPCs.

As we see many studios, especially under Microsoft, begin to form unions, like the recent announcement from Activision QA workers, it might be possible to alleviate some of the risks around introducing AI.

This could then allow the player to have a genuine conversation of discovery that provides a bespoke unique experience but would always still be true to the human writer’s intention.

However, with the improvement of ChatGPT over time and image and video generation, there seems to be a more open mind around the idea of having some games use integrated large language models (LLMs) for NPC interactions.

There have even been mods for popular games like Grand Theft Auto 5, where you can talk to NPCs with ChatGPT running to answer queries.


The original article contains 575 words, the summary contains 193 words. Saved 66%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

sentient_loom , to technology in Microsoft wants to update your Windows 11 PC without forcing you to reboot
@sentient_loom@sh.itjust.works avatar

Who cares? It’s not exactly traumatizing to reboot your computer.

entropicshart ,

You’ve clearly not had an update trigger when you were trying to present something, join a meeting, or simply do a quick restart after installing a program and get hit with a 10min “updating windows; do not shut off”

sentient_loom ,
@sentient_loom@sh.itjust.works avatar

It shouldn’t do it automatically. It shouldn’t update during a presentation at all.

entropicshart ,

I’ve had to create GP edits to prevent it from happening because it most certainly does.

Even then MS is fantastic at throwing up MFA reauthentication mid meeting or forgetting to throw it up at all and leaving you shadow logged into Outlook/Teams where it will appear functional from your side, but you will it receive anything until you close and reopen the apps.

They’ve had these issues for years and never prioritize fixing them.

Everythingispenguins ,

I find having to boot into windows traumatizing regardless
