The Storypath system is descended from the systems used in Vampire: the Masquerade, World of Darkness and other stuff from White Wolf publishing. There's already games published by Onyx Path that implement Storypath (such as Trinity Contiuum & Scion), but this is a generic version with example settings included.

This finalized version actually came out over a week ago, but today I noticed that despite the apparent interest in Storypath on Backerkit, nobody on r/rpg or here had posted about the announcement. I haven't played it yet myself; does anyone here have experience with or interest in Storypath?

Note: While the PDF is available now, it'll be some months before the hardcover ships.

There are some bus widths that are used in full discrete GPU dies and some that I've only ever seen in cut-down GPUs. Full-die GPU memory bus widths seem to always be:
64-bit × 2^n^ × (1 or 0.75)
where n is a whole number. Cut-down models can feature pretty much any multiple of 32 bits.

Examples:

• 128-bit bus: common in entry-level GPUs (RTX 4060, RX 6600 XT)
• 160-bit bus: occasionally shows up in cut-down designs (Arc B570)
• 192-bit bus: common in midrange & entry-level GPUs (RTX 5070, Arc B580)
• 256-bit bus: common in midrange GPUs (RX 9070 XT, RTX 3070 Ti)
• 320-bit bus: occasionally shows up in cut-down designs (RX 7900 XT, RTX 3080)
• 352-bit bus: Appeared in the RTX 2080 Ti, which was cut down
• 384-bit bus: common in upper-midrange & high-end GPUs (RX 7900 XTX, RTX 4090)

Any insights into why this is? As a layperson, it seems like having a full die with perhaps a 160-bit bus for the entry level or a 224-bit bus for the midrange would at least occasionally make sense.

If you think GPUs are big today, you ain't seen nothing yet. This baby (theoretically) scales all the way up to a 300mm wafer.

Abstract

This paper introduces the Photonic Network-on-Wafer (NoW) GPU architecture to overcome fundamental limitations in electrical interconnect scaling by implementing the inter-GPU network in a wafer- scale optical interposer. We argue that the photonic-NoW GPU is a scalable architecture, delivering significant performance benefits in a power-efficient manner.

I see that there are already posts here about RDNA4 today, but I figured I'd link the actual announcement for general discussion about the launch.

The University of Pennsylvania offers a free series of books called Software Foundations with the following description:

The Software Foundations series is a broad introduction to the mathematical underpinnings of reliable software.

The principal novelty of the series is that every detail is one hundred percent formalized and machine-checked: the entire text of each volume, including the exercises, is literally a "proof script" for the Coq proof assistant.

The series includes Verifiable C, which seems very appealing as a way to avoid some of C's infamous "footguns." I haven't read the series myself, but I might in the future because I like math, logic & programs that do what they're supposed to do.

Are there any materials that would be good as alternatives or complements to this series?

Hi,

I'm new to both using Helix and terminal multiplexers in general, so I'd appreciate some help with this. When I launch Helix without tmux, I see the default theme with a purple background, which I like:

But when I launch it using tmux, even with the -2 flag, Helix does not display the same color scheme:

I have tried making a config.toml file with an [editor] section and set true-color to true, but that didn't appear to help. How can I use the default theme with tmux? I'm using GNOME 47 with wayland on Fedora, in case that matters.

Any post I've seen involving Helix, tmux & colors seem to be with custom themes, so I don't know which threads are relevant to this, if any.___
