vivzkestrel··on AnyPS5: Port PS5 binaries to PC without emulation (87% system libraries mapped)
- interesting but what i am talking about would be 3d mainstream games like you are able to drag / drop call of duty black ops 1 into the repo and it ll make it 2 player coop or 4 player

- it ll decompile the exe, analyze the makeup of the game

- create a networking stack if doesnt exist and generate a new exe that has coop on it

- drag metro 2033 boom, it is now coopable

- this would be the MOST ultimate agentic AI use if anyone can actually cook it

vivzkestrel··on AnyPS5: Port PS5 binaries to PC without emulation (87% system libraries mapped)
- can we get an AnyGameCOOP mod?

- drag any single player game executable

- run a swarm of agents to decompile and build a networking layer

- turn it into a coop game

vivzkestrel··on Account bans on Reddit
- all accounts on reddit with hidden history need to be banned first

- people are using this in the guise to spread racism, hatred, political propaganda, run bots etc etc

- hey u/spez are you reading this?

- also reddit policies are a complete disaster at this point. the ones gaming the system are still gaming the system and some chum who came yesterday gets instapermabanned with fingerprint detection. absolutely stupidity

vivzkestrel··on Dust: Pretraining Transformers Without Backpropagation
- stupid question from a neural network rookie

- isnt the whole point of back propoagation so that you dont guess weights by brute forcing them since that is computationally infeasible once you go beyond a dozen weights?

- if you dont use backpropogation, how exactly are the initial weights assigned them if they are not random values?

- stupid question

- how exactly does apple silicon s unified gpu + ram thingy work?

- how come intel and nvidia cannot do the same?

- is there an actual difference in terms of hardware architecture or something or is it pure apple marketing hype?

vivzkestrel··on Memory executives expect RAM shortage to continue through 2028
or you can wait until one of those frontier labs IPO goes bust in a really bad way where it pumps 10x on day 1 and then everyone dumps every share out there and half a million people are holding bags. that ll surely wipe out all the AI hype

vivzkestrel··on Show HN: Rhun, an open-source code editor written in assembly
- now imagine building entire systems tailored to each OS in just assembly

- imagine the next gen browser built in only assembly with a browser engine made in assembly

- imagine photoshop, illustrator, movie maker built ground up in assembly

- imagine an entire windows 12 operating system made in pure assembly

- the performance profile of each of the above must be absolutely wild

- since i am an an absolute newbie at assembly at this point, a sincere question to the some of the more englightened ones reading this, how and where do you recommend I learn assembly? I understand its different for x86 x64 and ARM? where should I start?

- and then rates an idea from 1 to 10
