Definitely worth playing. While short, probably beatable in roughly 5 hours, it's a lot of fun and makes sure to not overstay it's welcome.

If you want to feel like a musketeer or classic swashbuckler, this is the game for you!

Threads all run on the same core, processes can run on different cores.

Because threads run on the same core, the only time they can improve performance is if there are non-cpu tasks in your code - usually I/O operations. Otherwise the only thing multi threading can provide is the appearance of parallelism (as the cpu jumps back and forth between threads progressing each in small steps).

On the other hand, multiprocessing allows you to run code on different cores, meaning you can take full advantage of all your processing power. However, if youre program has a lot of I/O tasks, you might end up bottlenecked by the I/O and never see any improvements.

For the example you mentioned, it's likely threading would be the best as it's got a little less overhead, easier to program, and you're task is mostly I/O bound. However, if the calculations are relatively quick, it's possible you wouldn't see any improvement as the cpu would still end up waiting for the I/O.

The download feature is always in some state of broken, but it has gotten a lot better over the past couple of years. If you haven't tried it in a year or so, you may have better luck now.

I read it as meaning they spend 111 hours commuting, otherwise why not just say 222 hours.

I'm actually amazed it isn't higher. That would imply the average commute is less than 15min each way.

Don't know if you ended up watching it, but effectively they're able to randomly execute code during the loading screen using a bug caused by audio generation vs controller polling. So by using TAS tools they can spam the controller to cause an audio bug that let's them jump to executing code from Ram that they are able to manipulate using controller inputs.

TLDR: Using a bug in the audio processing, they can use controller inputs to write arbitrary code that jumps them to the end of the game.

I mean I've always had an issue that digital goods could always be revoked/taken back. That's why I didn't buy things on steam until it became basically the only way (as consoles have less physical media). This is just a great reminder for the public that we're consistently loosing control over our digital lives.

I've been an advocate for forcing companies to change the wording for digital goofs to "lease" rather than "buy". Cause at the end of the day, no one owns their steam library.

Not the original commenter, but to add some more context. The words usually removed in traditional NLP applications are called "stop words" and are usually more "non-valuable" words like "the, and, but".

However, LLMs don't skip stop words, they actually need them to better understand the context of the sentence. That being said, LLMs are not great for statistical analysis and a simple word count would be more consistent and faster.

To be honest, it actually does sound like a reasonable and security focused change. It basically looks to take a more zero trust kind of approach in regards to admin elevation.

I think it's seo and ad revenue, but who dictates the rules for ad revenue? Obviously not just Google, but yeah still pretty much at fault.

My understanding is that it's a difficult feature to support and they can't guarantee it works well. That's the only explanation I've ever seen, cause to me it's almost critical for working on a laptop.

Yeah most likely, but I wouldn't say their online services work well.
