Davey Wreden gained immense success with the Stanley Parable, a game that explores existential themes and narrative tricks involving a lonely office worker named Stanley. Wreden’s follow-up, the Beginner’s Guide, delved into the relationship between artist and audience. Wreden’s latest game, Wanderstop, embraces cozy gaming while weaving a trauma plot beneath its serene surface. Wanderstop […]
The website explains how to use an experimental feature for cloud synchronization of your ToDo list. Simply create a unique username and password to enable synchronization across devices. Your list is encrypted for security, ensuring that only those with your credentials can access it. The process may take a few seconds to sync updates. Remember […]
Solar power has become the cheapest source of new electricity generation in many parts of the U.S., but the adoption depends heavily on market structure. Deregulated markets have rapidly embraced solar, while regulated utilities remain slow to change. Greater deregulation is needed to build a cleaner, larger-capacity grid to meet rising energy demand and ensure […]
The article discusses different registers of the organ found in St. Jacobi, including the Octava 8′, Quintaden 8′, Rohrflöth 4′, Querpfeiff 2′, Bahrpfeiff 8′, Trommet 8′, Plenum, and Cimbelstern. Each register has unique characteristics and historical significance, with different builders like Arp Schnitger and Jürgen Ahrend contributing to the construction. The Plenum is highlighted as […]
Performance optimization is crucial for AI tasks on GPUs, AMD introduces the AI Tensor Engine for ROCm (AITER), a repository of high-performance AI operators to accelerate various AI workloads. AITER simplifies optimization complexity, leverages AMD’s ROCm for GPU efficiency, and allows for customized optimizations. With impressive performance gains, users can experience up to 17x faster […]
Project Update 6: 2000+ members have joined the project, with over 7,000 observations made. It’s been over two and a half years since the last journal post, my apologies for the lack of updates. The project has been progressing well, thanks to recent mentions in iNat blog posts. Remember, observations must be the first photograph […]
This article discusses the security vulnerabilities found in Pagure, a software forge used in Fedora. The author discovered CVE-2024-47516, an argument injection vulnerability, along with three other vulnerabilities that allowed for remote code execution. By exploiting these bugs, the author was able to modify repositories and potentially change the source code of Fedora packages. The […]
The Shift-To-Middle Array is a high-performance dynamic array that optimizes insertions and deletions at both ends while maintaining contiguous memory storage for improved cache locality and efficient parallel processing. Unlike std::deque, which uses a fragmented block structure, this array dynamically redistributes space to avoid costly shifts by moving elements toward the middle during resizing. The […]
Quadlet allows you to run Podman containers as systemd services, making it easy to run containers in the background and automatically start them after a server reboot. While Podman previously supported running containers under systemd with the command ‘podman generate systemd,’ it is now deprecated in favor of Quadlet. Quadlet simplifies the process by creating […]
