honestly i'd probably play Tifa, I'm totally ok with her being in Street Fighter but.. this game has been on what feels like life support for 3 years now, nothing substantial has changed despite MASSIVE majority feedback. You can argue "casuals aren't complaining", but that is a failing for professional game studios to fall for, casuals don't generally complain because they're not invested enough in the game to give substantial or meaningful feedback - this isn't always true, and often they have some good insight for the teams to carefully pick up on, but they're not focused or targeted in it. I get it, they want to capture a large casual audience and they have done that with accessibility features like modern and game balance/design choices.. but for me the game just kind of sucks, it feels stale, it bothers me that major pain points haven't been addressed in 3 years. Kind of has me hoping Harada's new game makes serious waves.

Need @AleksLeVO to dub this

"At least you can eat almonds, you can't eat a data center." I was genuinely not prepared for how stupid the people on the other side of this argument would be.

A 5-gallon water cooler jug of water produces about $132 in economic output from data centers, but only about 2 cents from almonds.

This entire story has been debunked from every angle since the original article was published over a week ago, so of course People magazine is like “let’s just re-publish all the false stuff!”

on AI and water use. You could ask a frontier model 4 questions per day every day for a year. Or you could eat a single solitary almond.

marcus aurelius already got this one covered for your dumbass, don't worry

follow-up on my local agent stack (RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB, Qwen3.6-35B-A3B) found the hidden VRAM killer: context checkpoints. llama.cpp creates a checkpoint every 8192 tokens during prefill (~63 MiB each). at 26K context that's 5 checkpoints = 315 MiB silently eating GPU memory. on 8 GB VRAM this pushes past the 7 GB cliff. >with default checkpoints, 26K context → 14.6 tok/s >with --checkpoint-every-n-tokens -1 → 30.3 tok/s full sweep without checkpoints: - 3.5K → 34.2 tok/s - 20K → 31.5 tok/s - 26K → 30.3 tok/s - 35K → 29.6 tok/s - 50K → 27.7 tok/s smooth degradation, no cliff anywhere. the ~2 tok/s drop per 10K tokens is from attention scaling on Qwen3.6's 10/40 attention layers. I also switched from Hermes to Pi as the agent harness. ~1.9K token system prompt vs Hermes's ~13.5K. in thiscase, Pi is more suitable here. Hermes is still my main agent on my mac mini tho. final config: ``` turboquant fork, -ncmoe 30 -c 65536 -np 1 --cache-type-k q8_0 --cache-type-v turbo3 --no-cache-prompt --checkpoint-every-n-tokens -1 ```

"You need a 24 GB GPU for serious local LLMs in 2026." Everyone repeats this. It's not true anymore. Just ran a 35B-parameter model on an RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB: • 41 tok/s at 16k context • 24 tok/s at 200k context Recipe benchmarks below 🧵

Might be my new favorite Street Fighter set and we still have at least 5 games

Sure

I know the American education system will never have an internet literacy class bc it’s not in the state’s interest but this would be the kind of stuff people should learn before they’re allowed to vote

Here’s what I know: 1. Luigi had no history of violence at all. No criminal record at all. Not even a misdemeanor. 2. Luigi had mild depression but other than that he had no mental health problems at all. So the official story is that a well educated rich kid, with no history of violence, no criminal record, no serious mental health issues, left his high rise apartment in Honolulu and traveled all the way across the country to NYC where he somehow obtained a “partially 3-D printed” gun and then carried out a perfectly targeted assassination on a healthcare CEO who was traveling and just happened to be outside his hotel at 5:30 in the morning. Then, according to the Feds, this well educated rich kid, with no history of violence, no criminal record, no serious mental health issues, fled across the city back to his hostel where he collected his belongings, always keeping his face carefully covered (except the one time he tried to flirt with the clerk on check-in). He then went south to BFE Pennsylvania where he was arrested 5 days later after a worker at a McDonalds called the cops claiming a customer was “being weird” despite the bodycams showing him just sitting in a booth minding his own business on his computer. Those same cops who captured him on their body cams then did a preliminary search of his backpack where they report finding a “gun magazine” inside. These same cops then load the backpack into their vehicle, *turn off their body cams* and then miraculously find the “partially 3-D printed gun” and a notebook containing the “manifesto.” Then a transcript of that manifesto is “leaked” to Ken Klippenstein, the EXACT same guy who also got the big leak on the Tyler Robinson Discord chats. The cops then completely fabricated a conversation with Luigi’s mom, and claimed she said “I could see him doing this” when she literally never said that and they were forced to admit so in court. ———— Those are the things I know. So yes, I’m comfortable giving Luigi the presumption of innocence until trial.

“No one asked for AI” I did. I’ve dreamt of the singularity since childhood.

Hey look a fun history lesson!

We are controlled by the stupidest people imaginable
