Meta - About !tech Moderation

Hi, My name is Soatok and I'm a silly sod who didn't realize creating a community would automatically make the the moderator of said community, so I've been asleep at the wheel this whole time due to personal reasons. Anyway, I'm going to correct this oversight immediately. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Why is ChatGPT so bad at math?
techcrunch.com

> You might've noticed that ChatGPT — and AI in general — isn't good at math. There's a reason, and it has to do with how modern AI is built. Basically, they're autocorrect on steroids. Which some of us have been saying for, like, ages.

Intel has finally tracked down the problem making 13th- and 14th-gen CPUs crash
arstechnica.com

apparently intel has finally figured out why 13th and 14th gen CPU are failing. the issue is mainly caused by a faulty microcode algorithm, which causes the CPU requesting more voltage than it needs and results in oxidation issues within the chip itself. CPU's that do not show any symptoms yet _could_ be saved by a microcode update, but there is no real hope for those that already started to rust away

Wanted to suggest some games

Hi, new here to this instance. Also first post on Lemmy, I guess? Sorry if this is the wrong place. There was no "games"-community here, and I wanted to share with the local instance. Anyway, wanted to recommend some games I've played recently that are somewhat "furry" in their themes. - **Pseudoregalia** A really fun N64 inspired metroidvania where you play as a goat-lady who has to escape a dream world. Extremely satisfying movement and optional costumes to earn. It's great! ![](https://lemm.ee/api/v3/image_proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.kinja-img.com%2Fimage%2Fupload%2Fc_fill%2Ch_675%2Cpg_1%2Cq_80%2Cw_1200%2F3a88a57ca1c238935c93f500e7b51b55.jpg) - **Corn Kidz 64** A really fun N64 inspired collect-a-thon where you play as a goat-kid who has to escape a dream world. Extremely satisfying movement and... Uh... They sound really similar now that I write it out, but they're real fun. ![](https://lemm.ee/api/v3/image_proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.nintendo.com%2Fimage%2Fupload%2Fncom%2Fsoftware%2Fswitch%2F70010000079908%2F2e42e80b4453456b558acf84008dd841d40d5da396517b0c65891b717d7d8717) - **FUGA: Melodies of Steel** Tactical RPG where you control children in a big-ass tank. It takes place during """World War 2""" and sports perma-death for the children. Really dark, but really good too. Sequel recently came out too. ![](https://lemm.ee/api/v3/image_proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rpgfan.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2021%2F06%2FFuga-Melodies-of-Steel-Screenshot-003.jpg)

Google Chrome has an API accessible only from *.google.com
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40918052

So apparently Chrome ships with an extension that is invisible to the user, can not be disabled and allows any `*.google.com` page to get detailed information about CPU and memory usage. It is apparently at least 10 years old, was originally developed to debug Hangouts and people do claim that it is also shipped in Brave and Edge. Who knows what else might be hidden in there!

Archie has been resurrected
https://archie.serialport.org/

Some people have apparently not only gone through the trouble of digging out the latest available version of Archie (old FTP indexer / search engine from the mid 80's / 90's before Google was a thing), but they even set up a fresh install and made a web interface available. Even better: The entire source code apparently also still exists. Video about said resurrection: https://piped.video/watch?v=CUwR9xdEuZI
