Here is an updated mirror: https://github.com/Synthlight/Ryujinx

Someone else re-uploaded the repo (archived): https://github.com/emmauss/Ryujinx

Github didn't do anything here, it was the project owned who did: https://twitter.com/RyujinxEmu/status/1841188744126480428

So the exact same thing would have happened with whomever owned the physical server.

That probably applies to like 90% of posts here.

In this case it seems so, someone just uploaded the codebase again (archived): https://github.com/emmauss/Ryujinx

Do you think the average joe who owns a Switch or is a potential client for their next console, is even aware of any of this happening? This is the tiniest of stories. The only way the public at large can become aware of emulators is if they hit a big app store.

So as far as timing of this move goes, it's as good a time as any to "protect what's theirs".

There is no such thing as an mp3 being copy protected. A game on a cartridge is not "copy protected" either.

Same thought, surely it can't be a coincidence, maybe they thought it was so on the nose that it would be best to not draw attention to it.

Well, drug dealers also make money.

I commend you for having a conscience. I guess the real topic is not about AI (because this discussion could have been about NFTs a couple of years ago), but whether one feels any reservations about pursuing projects based purely on their potential appeal rather than out of a genuine interest.

Well, let's just say... I'll believe it when it's actually published. This is this same archive page from 2010: http://web.archive.org/web/20100420105155/https://www.topshe...

And this is the original announcement from 2007!!!: http://web.archive.org/web/20070928025437/http://www.topshel...

That's when I first heard of this, with the cover all done way back then. So yeah, I cannot believe this will finally be hitting shelves. I can pre-order it, so it has to be real... right? It's been so long.

I don't scoff at the price. At $3500 it's undeniably a luxury toy, but just because it's very expensive, doesn't mean it's a failure. There is nothing else that exists that does what it does, cheaper. Time will tell how interested people are in the kinds of things such a VR/AR headset can do, especially if developers are interested in creating more apps for it.

> It has no market.

You don't know that, it's way too early to tell.

> Sales will peter out to nothing after the hype because there just aren't a lot of customers out there who can drop that kind of dosh on a computer at all, let alone something that isn't nearly as capable as a computer like a headset

But A) There are people who do spend that much on a computer and tech in general and B) Just because it may lose momentum after the hype doesn't mean it's a failure. If you want such a product to succeed, you are going to have to bankroll it and invest on it for a few year for it to get a legitimate chance.

> Mac studio sales for example are 1% of their mac sales

And the places that have them, wouldn't have any other product. They work with Macs and they will continue to buy these premium Macs until the end of time. It's a small market but it's a loyal market, especially when entire industries (like film post production, the recording industry, pro photography, graphic design) are all Mac-based.

So this just seems like a generic anti-Apple rant.

How is it doomed? It's selling, and most people are liking it more than they are disliking it. And with like any new category of product (all based on existing tech, but there is no alternative to the Vision Pro, that does the same things), there is people that are going to make wild predictions of its failure, like they did with the iPad.

So yeah, VR/AR headsets aren't going to replace smartphones anytime soon. But they don't NEED to.

And it costs $3500 NOW, first generation product, but there is a reason why the put "Pro" in the name, the implication being that they fully intend to do a more affordable version.

So as usual, it's not going to be any of the extreme predictions. It's neither going to be a total failure that Apple will stop manufacturing them, nor is it going to be such an overnight success that the average joe will stop paying their mortgage and instead get a gadget.

> But is it $3500 nice?

That's going to be entirely subjective and widely dependent on the wallet and finances of whomever you ask, and how badly they been wanting a VR/AR computer thingy.

Well, Steve Jobs did buy Pixar from Lucas.

Sounds pretty much like the kind of stuff he pulled for the presentation of the Macintosh in 1984. Fake it until you make it.

Word from a friend of a friend. Solid source.

The article makes a very simplistic analysis, in that because capitalists won in taking over OpenAI, those concerned about a responsible deployment of very powerful technology lost. But in truth, OpenAI was already a capitalist/commercial enterprise and has been for over a year and those concerned had already failed in keeping the beast contained. The cat is out of the bag, and trying to keep ChatGPT in the box wasn't going to do anything in preventing LLMs to continue to proliferate.

Clearly the board should have changed the moment Elon Musk left the company and OpenAI stopped being a non-profit. That's what failed here.

If you are going to accept billions of dollars in funding from Microsoft and you are going to start selling a service, then wake up, it's a capitalist venture.

The time to pull the trigger, was in releasing ChatGPT to the public. Trying to kick out the CEO after Skynet was activated is pretty pointless.

This is how the machine uprising starts. "Mistook", sure.

Here is the Github repo (with links to Firefox and Edge extensions): https://github.com/BlackGlory/copycat

Sounds like what could be the setting for a Wes Anderson movie.

As soon as I get that, I'll be having yt-dlp very handy.

He is still a part of Comma, as far as it seems, he is just by his own admission not the best guy to lead a company that got big enough for him and which needs certain stability and adhere to certain bureaucracy if you will. In some way, I think it's rather admirable that someone knows when to move aside and let others take the lead.

"It was unclear how long the leaked code had been online, but it appeared to have been public for at least several months."

Interesting. I wonder what the repo was called, I imagine it couldn't have been anything extremely obvious or we would have heard about this earlier.

These folks put the organized in crime.
