Impact of PCIe 5.0 Bandwidth on GPU Content Creation and LLM Performance

Introduction With the release of the NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs and RDNA 4-based Radeon 9000-series GPUs, we finally have consumer video cards that support the PCIe 5.0 standard. Although we have had motherboards with support for it for some time now, we didn’t have any devices other than storage that took advantage of it. This leads now to the question: What impact does PCIe 5.0’s increased bandwidth have on GPU performance in content creation applications? PCI Express (abbreviated PCIe or PCI-e)

Anticheat Update Tracking

A few years ago when I was into reverse engineering and binary analysis (and game modding), I did a lot of research into anticheats work. I was curious about tracking their updates, since that would allow me to: Know when a new version is released Understand what changes were made Use older versions for research purposes So I ended up researching different ways on how to track updates of various anticheats. Some of them are already very well documented, while others haven't been explored muc

Homegrown Closures for Uxn

Homegrown closures for uxn at least, kind of... For a week or so now, I've been writing niënor, a "lispy environment for uxn". I did not want it to become a full-blown lisp but just another way of writing uxntal. Uxntal is a bit too dense for my liking, and I prefer lisp/scheme s-expression syntax. Niënor is just a compiler and a macroexpander that takes in scheme-like code and spits out uxn roms. This article describes my homegrown method of creating lexically scoped closures in this environ
