Reuters reports: The cuts, along with more than $500 million in savings from lower contracting and marketing spending and unfilled roles would put the company in "a more stable place," Sweeney said in a note to employees.

Happy 10th anniversary Dark Souls 3, the second best Souls game after Dark Souls 2  (until I change my mind again)

In the jostle for the crown of best Souls game that constantly plays out in my mind, it's Dark souls 2 that tends to come out on top. Controversial, I know, but I love it, flaws and all. I adore its ludicrous ambition, even if its coolest ideas - the focus on light, the time-travel - mostly got ditched during its tumultuous development. I love its big ideas - the... Read more

The loneliest people aren’t those who lack social skills — they’re the ones whose social skills are mismatched to their environment, like someone fluent in a language nobody around them speaks, which is why they can feel completely isolated in a room full of people

I noticed something at a networking event a few months ago. There was a woman standing at the edge of the room, drink in hand, smiling politely whenever someone walked past. She wasn’t awkward. She wasn’t shy. She asked good questions, laughed at the right moments, and kept the conversation moving. And yet, when I ... Read more Read more

The group, tracked under the name TeamPCP, first gained visibility in December, when researchers from security firm Flare observed it unleashing a worm that targeted cloud-hosted platforms that weren't properly secured....

Kyle Orland writes via Ars Technica: Since deep-learning super-sampling (DLSS) launched on 2018's RTX 2080 cards, gamers have been generally bullish on the technology as a way to effectively use machine-learning upscaling techniques to increase resolutions or juice frame rates in games. With yesterday's tease of the upcoming DLSS 5, though, Nvidia has crossed a line from mere upscaling into complete lighting and texture overhauls influenced by "generative AI." The... Read more
