I read Dune in a book club, and honestly for the majority in the club even the first book was near incomprehensible. The group absolutely hated not understanding any of the nomenclature it throws at you from the start, and there’s was a lot of discussion that started “stick with it you’ll get used to it.”
I fucking love dune but took a few attempts to buy in and get through it. Glad I did though.
The first two books are definitely geared towards kids/preteens. I was obsessed with the first book when I was young, getting an owl and being whisked off to fairytale land, so much fun. By the time the series is rounding out azkaban going into goblet of fire, it begins to present more mature and relatable themes that resonated more re-reading as a late teen.
I’m not sure who they work for, exactly, because a depressed labor market and trade shortages aren’t really helping any of them either.
Trained dev with a decade of professional experience, humans routinely fail to get me workable specs without hours of back and forth discussion. I’d say a solid 25% of my work week is spent understanding what the stakeholders are asking for and how to contort the requirements to fit into the system.
If these humans can’t be explict enough with me, a living thinking human that understands my architecture better than any LLM, what chance does an LLM have at interpreting them?
Close the internet, nothing will never be better than this. We’re done here

AI guy wants his AI to run companies. Somehow, this is good for business and not a hostile control takeover by proxy.
BREAKING: Man decides to install Linux.
More details to come.
I’ll just mention pilot, flying J, loves, the bigger interstate travel center stations tend to hold larger amounts because their systems cover for semi trucks filling up. I never had a hold that large from a neighborhood gas station.
Looks burnt mate
Power to the Penguins!
Every single one of them has a timecard they’re punching with a name, collective punishment against the entire agency should be on the table.
Even those sitting back behind a desk pushing paperwork are enabling the thugs in the streets.
I dont know the specific answer unfortunately, I suspect there is another layer to the caching story with Proton/Wine Prefixes/DXVK in Linux. If the translation layer gets an update independent of the graphics driver, that could maybe also cause a cache invalidation to occur. I notice that behavior more often when I’m using Proton Experimental.
Shaders have to be processed when the video drivers are updated, and time to process will depend from game to game, how many shaders there are. After they are processed, shaders can be cached and recalled without a performance hit. But the cache will be invalidated after a driver update.
If you skip preprocessing, you may see a hitch the first time a shader is used in a game scene. Like if you pick up a gun that shoots blue flames, and the game hasn’t used the blue flames before - it has to process that immediately before displaying the blue flames - which takes a split second.
This realtime impact can be small or large, depending how many shaders load into a scene simultaneously. Loading a new map with lots of unique textures and unprocessed shaders is generally when you’ll see the big hitches as it scrambles to compile them.
Yeah hell no to a month of that nonsense. I give it one day before I’m jumping a fence and smashing it with a hammer.
There’s not. Republicans cry whenever ppl they deem “undeserving”* get support. That’s it, that’s the joke.
* everyone is undeserving except themselves and their immediate family who definitely need the help god bless
Yeah basically new game modes. Rocket Racing is an arcade racer, Fortnite Festival is a rock band like rhythm game, both are entirely independent from battle royale but still integrated into fortnite eco system with skins and characters going between them. This is the metaverse vision that Sweeney never stops talking about coming to fruition.
You’re right, I was misinformed
50c produced a scathing exposé documentary on Sean Combs/Diddy, with lots of private and unreleased footage showing exactly what kind of evil manipulative person Combs is behind closed doors. Meme is asking for trump next.
