one of the only things i miss from Windows is Sysinternals Process Explorer
the GUI and TUI tools available for Linux are generally hilariously incompetent
like Gnome's System Monitor failing to understand how to sort grouped processes by CPU usage and trying to see open files crashes it lol

some excerpts from the article, including quotes from the paper
three of the authors working at OpenAI and a fourth at Georgia Tech
they are confirming what everyone already knew
but the fact that they have presented mathematical proofs is huge

the *style* is not the problem, but how difficult to read at a glance it is

i am sure the answer is exhausting but as i continue to comb through what is eating all of my drive space...
(aside from like 118 unplayed video games that we shall not discuss)

here is another interview talking about his anti-capitalist beliefs

while the article says socialist (and his own website says communist in a semi-humorous context) it is just generally clear that he is strongly left-aligned

Google Fonts uses excerpts from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights to preview fonts
i wonder how long until they change it because it gets considered partisan
you know, the UDHR is a pretty solid starting point, if not perfect (such as the male-as-default), i wish it had teeth

they have that money - not the payment processors

all this and the logo looks absolutely terrible
none of the letters in "max" look like they belong together and they clash with the classic HBO logo
the old one was not amazing but at least it did not look like a collage of different magazine letters in a ransom note

ok i am 99% sure it was an early screenshot of Total Chaos
the style, the dimly lit atmosphere, the overgrowth, the detail on the floors, the god rays, the fog, it is all here
this was using GZDoom from 2015-ish its incredible work
i opened it up to play it and this game is *terrifying*

here is a screenshot of a WAD called volumefx.wad which fakes volumetric fog using high-res transparent textures and mostly-standard Doom techniques
this particular WAD is from 2008
these were the same kinds of techniques used on the mod i am trying to track down, but likely from much later
