Dolphin update makes GameCube and Wii games far less likely to crash

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-25 23:51:09

Robert Triggs / Android Authority TL;DR Dolphin release 2509 turns off Dual Core mode by default on desktop, fixing common crashes. The update also adds compatibility for three tricky Disney Wii games thanks to clever hacks. Bluetooth passthrough, which enables Wii Remote support, has been patched to work with more modern Bluetooth adapters. Dolphin has long been one of the most impressive emulators around, but despite more than 20 years of development, there’s still more work to be done. In

AI Is Bad at Sudoku. It's Even Worse at Showing Its Work

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-09-25 23:12:03

Chatbots are genuinely impressive when you watch them do things they're good at, like writing a basic email or creating weird, futuristic-looking images. But ask generative AI to solve one of those puzzles in the back of a newspaper, and things can quickly go off the rails. That's what researchers at the University of Colorado at Boulder found when they challenged large language models to solve sudoku. And not even the standard 9x9 puzzles. An easier 6x6 puzzle was often beyond the capabilities

GPT‑5-Codex and upgrades to Codex

news.ycombinator.com Simon Willison 2025-09-26 10:17:35

GPT‑5-Codex and upgrades to Codex. OpenAI half-released a new model today: GPT‑5-Codex, a fine-tuned GPT-5 variant explicitly designed for their various AI-assisted programming tools. I say half-released because it's not yet available via their API, but they "plan to make GPT‑5-Codex available in the API soon". I wrote about the confusing array of OpenAI products that share the name Codex a few months ago. This new model adds yet another, though at least "GPT-5-Codex" (using two hyphens) is un

Google releases VaultGemma, its first privacy-preserving LLM

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-09-26 12:04:04

The companies seeking to build larger AI models have been increasingly stymied by a lack of high-quality training data. As tech firms scour the web for more data to feed their models, they could increasingly rely on potentially sensitive user data. A team at Google Research is exploring new techniques to make the resulting large language models (LLMs) less likely to "memorize" any of that content. LLMs have non-deterministic outputs, meaning you can't exactly predict what they'll say. While the

iOS 26: How to change Safari toolbar design on iPhone

The iOS 26 Safari browser on iPhone evokes the new design system featuring Liquid Glass, with floating toolbars and buttons that shine through the web page content behind them as you scroll. But Apple has also taken the opportunity to revamp the design of the toolbar UI. By default, iOS 26 now uses a Compact layout which hides away some of the commonly used buttons. However, there’s a way to change it back if you prefer something that looked like the iOS 18 design … For iOS 26, the new default

Fixing Hallucinations Would Destroy ChatGPT, Expert Finds

In a paper published earlier this month, OpenAI researchers said they'd found the reason why even the most powerful AI models still suffer from rampant "hallucinations," in which products like ChatGPT confidently make assertions that are factually false. They found that the way we evaluate the output of large language models, like the ones driving ChatGPT, means they're "optimized to be good test-takers" and that "guessing when uncertain improves test performance."

Modder adds over an hour of Switch 2 runtime by dropping in a bigger battery pack

In a nutshell: The Nintendo Switch 2 debuted earlier this year to a warm reception from both reviewers and gamers. However, battery life remains one of its few weaknesses, a limitation carried over from the first-generation model. A modder has now attempted to address this issue by increasing the Switch 2's battery capacity from 5,220 mAh to 8,000 mAh. The mod comes courtesy of YouTuber Naga, who pried open a Switch 2 and installed a larger 8,000 mAh battery in place of the factory-fitted 5,220
