I was experiencing unusually high VRAM usage on the RX 7800 XT (GPU choking and cr@pping itself) in Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart (and in a couple of other games). So I decided to use the AMD Cleanup Utility and reinstall the current 25.12.1 drivers. When I started the game again, the ray tracing settings in it were grayed out, and there's NO fixing it, no matter what I tried 😆 And the VRAM issue wasn't fixed 😄
(Grayed out RT settings aslo seem to be a problem on the 9000 s…

Trump sought to pin any worries about high inflation on his predecessor, Joe Biden.
“Eleven months ago, I inherited a mess,
and I’m fixing it,” Trump said.
“We’re poised for an economic boom, the likes of which the world has never seen.”
His holiday wishes came at a crucial time as he tries to rebuild his steadily eroding popularity.
Public polling shows most U.S. adults are frustrated with his handling of the economy as
inflation picked up after his tari…

STM32MP2 bringup update: after fixing some weird linker things with weak symbols that per documentation should never have worked and yet somehow never bit me until now, I have a C stub running on the M33 out of RAM (no flash boot, you have to JTAG/SWD load it for now).
It turns on three of the four LEDs on the devkit, for reasons currently unknown the fourth LED doesn't work. My only guess is that it's in the VDDIO3 domain and I might not yet have turned that on due to PMIC c…

For the time being, PreMiD Presence Stats is now broken due to the API not giving the user count stats for each presence.
While I'm not sure if anyone still uses it and I won't be back to PreMiD in the near future, I will try fixing it, or throw the towel if I can't.
For the note, PreMiD Presence Stats is a project of my Mini HTMLs to see various PreMiD stats. Check it out (maybe later after it is fixed) on

I was thinking this morning, there should be more things like Goodwill, more thrift stores like that everywhere, for even LESS things going to landfills. Just people getting together, even as a trade or barter system, things like flea markets or garage sales-- people do some of this already.
Reusing things is so important, and repair, when possible-- I've been seeing some cool self-repair fix-it meetups on here, too.
As I was talking to my wife about it, and I remembered thi…

Content warning: re: bitcoin conference report

The conference is over now. I likely wouldn't have come for just a bitcoin thing, but I am very interested in redecentralizing the web, so it's attachment to the nostr day pulled me in.
Everyone I met was friendly and interesting and seems much more interested in making a better money system than in making money for themselves.
Our government and bank money systems are dysfunctional in all kinds of ways which are often less visible than they should be too people using them, especially to those in Europe and America who benefit from the way those systems exploit the global south.
I'm not convinced that fixing that would end wars and fix broken government as some seem to think, but I am sure our money is the source of many problems.
There are many bright, well meaning, and intelligent people building to improve bitcoin in fascinating ways with the hope of having a parallel system to transition to. With lots of work still to be done.
Can it work?
I'm sure I don't know, and I'm sure even if it's a better system it'll come with it's own unfairness and cruelty. Money will continue to be a source of suck and worry.
I'm told that the bigger conferences are often full of shitcoin scammers and suit wearing banksters who are in fact all in it too get rich and rip people off, but I found none of that here.
Here there is a real community of people trying to make the world a better place and improve the lives of their neighbours and governance of their countries.
And in the end building community is the most radical and effective way to change the world regardless of the problems of it's money system.
I had a great time. Thanks to those organising it.

Does Superfast Matt work at Discord?
(Context in image; I realize this might be one leap of logic too far for the joke, but *I* found it funny.)
youtube.com/clip/UgkxUSjXwB44F

A tweet or post that says: Discord is finally "fixing" memory leaks! /s ... The client is testing a feature that monitors its own RAM usage and performs an intentional restart to clear resources if it reaches 4 GB while you're AFK. No restarts occur if you're currently in a call. (and theres’s a screen shot of activity monitor or similar)

Writing unit tests for my random number generation library continues to be difficult. My tests are failing because the bias in the distribution exceeds my expectations, but I'm wondering whether I should just repeat the test more times and permit it to exceed expectations some of the time (as long as it does it symmetrically/rarely/etc. My gut tells me that second-order expectations aren't any better than first-order expectations, but another part of me disagrees.
Thinking more as I write this (writing is thinking): second-order tests can at least give me better info to work with towards fixing things I think! So maybe I'll invest in them.

What I want is less buggy updates, software that starts to run a bit faster and isn't a resource hog along with fixing those 'NOT RESPONDING' messages multiple times an hour. From what I see these updates are just putting a layer of lipstick on a bloated pig.

Content warning: bitcoin conference report

Despite much opinion to the contrary, the government money we use is crappy.
I'm at bitfest in Manchester to find out if Bitcoin could be a better money.
It could hardly be worse.
The mood is still good, people are joking about recent devaluation rather than crying. Those who aren't all in are trying to buy more at the discount.
After an introduction by Mad Bitcoins, Joe Bryan explains the problem with government money.
He imagines an island on which two types of money are tried, with a dividing wall between them.
When economic problems hit, government can just print more money on the fiat side. Everyone now using money which is worth less. Distorting prices, inflating asset prices, making the rich (who hold assets) richer and the poor (who have to pay inflated prices) poorer. Driving wealth inequality.
On the hard money side, government must tax properly. Take in more from the rich rather than inflating to take it from the poor. Reducing wealth inequality.
On the government money side, the wealthy monitize houses, stocks, resources. Saving in money is impossible, its inflated away. So they save in assets and hording resources. Capital is misallocated. The youth can't afford houses. Poverty traps are caused. The only way out is printing more for benefits. Making it all worse. More economic crises, more printing. More government debt.
Eventually, the wall is broken. Government money people can save in the hard money instead. It reduces the value of government money further. More printing. More inflation.
Eventually, war. Funded by printed money.
The dollar is the best of a bad bunch all other government money is falling in value even faster.
I wonder, is bitcoin really this better money though? It's limited, hard, and can't be printed without energy investment.
I'm still unsure that fixing money fixes the world.
--
Note: "crypto" is mostly more like government money than bitcoin. It can be printed indefinitely by it's makers, does not cost it's makers to print. Crypto is usually just a scam people to get more bitcoin. Bitcoin is not crypto.
