There are countless reasons as to why we play video games. For some of us, video games are a means to connect with others–a way through which we can participate in a community, or carve out time specifically reserved for nurturing our friendships. Some use games as means of escaping reality, while others appreciate the hobby’s competitive, skill-based nature. However, far too few of us are using games for one of their most compelling purposes: to experience suffering.Much like Black Tabby Games co-founder Tony Arias-Howard, whom I interviewed about this very topic, “I’m only half-kidding” when I say this. I…
Google engineers have developed a method to compress artificial intelligence (AI) data so that it requires up to six times less working memory to function.With the new system, called TurboQuant, AI algorithms could retain the same amount of information and perform equally powerful computations, but with significantly less memory hardware, the company says.Current AI algorithms need a lot of working memory, also known as the key value (KV) cache, to work properly. This is where immediate computational results and other bits of info are stored temporarily during active processing. You may like For example, if you ask ChatGPT what the…
To install the Aqua between my spigot and hose, I threaded the device directly onto each. If you are using drip tubing instead of a hose, you’ll use the included adapter to connect an irrigation line to the Aqua. While the directions are relatively simple, I had an issue getting a great seal on the spigot side of the Aqua, even with pliers. The location of the handle made it impossible to squeeze a tool in to tighten up the connection, which meant that, ultimately, I was never able to avoid some level of water leakage from this area. (An…

But once it arrives for them, they’ll be able to shrink the YouTube video they’re playing and continue watching it even after they leave the app. To activate the feature, they simply have to…
The Lord of the Rings and The Boys actor Karl Urban plays the role of Johnny Cage in the upcoming Mortal Kombat 2 film, and now he’s revealed some very blunt advice his children gave him after he agreed to sign on for the movie.Speaking to IGN, Urban said he “definitely felt the pressure” to nail it as Cage, in part because he wanted to impress his boys. “I remember when I got cast, I said to my two sons–who I actually played the game with, which was my first introduction to the world of Mortal Kombat–and I said, ‘Hey…

Pools are great for relaxing, which is part of why cleaning them feels so laborious. I want to float on my back with a Coke Zero on my stomach, not scoop scum. Robotic pool vacuums can simplify the cleaning process, but the cord causes problems. Feed the cable in, watch it knot up on the ladder, fish the head out from under the steps when it pins itself there. The…
Even before the Trump administration went to war against DEI and attempts to address historical discrimination, diversity efforts in the US were controversial. A pivotal moment came in 2023, when the Supreme Court ruled that race-based affirmative action programs violated the Constitution. The decision partly rested on universities’ inability to clearly measure the benefits of diverse student bodies and the lack of defined standards to determine when equity had been achieved and such programs should end. A new paper highlights the uncertainty. “Learning theory argues that racial diversity promotes student learning, which should increase salaries,” its authors write. “However, well-documented…

Engadget Rumors that Sony’s new digital rights management (DRM) system might check PlayStation game licenses every 30 days appear not to be true. Despite screenshots posted on X last week showing an apparent “Valid Period” length, newly-purchased digital games will receive a perpetual license after a single online check after purchase, Sony told Game File. “Players can continue to access and play their purchased games as usual,” a representative told Game File. “A one-time online check is required after purchase to confirm the game’s license, after which no further check-ins…
