Trained on 1000s of NES emulators, it's not really impressive.

Github alone has +4k NES emulator projects: https://github.com/search?q=nes%20emulator&type=repositories

This is more like "wow, it can quote training data".

It's "source available" [1], not open source [2].

Words have meaning and all that.

Oh yea, thanks for the reminder. HN comments are as useful as 4chan.

HN 15 years ago wasnt technical, it never was. HN is about startup business and sometimes a tech toy like whatever JS frontend is hyped this week.

The discussions are shallow and pointless, lots of actors arguing in bad faith and lots of commercial hype, lately mostly around AI to the point that the site is barely interesting for the tech-curious.

And then there's dang's moderation where he deletes comments or requires users to remove comments themselves to avoid being banned.

I think you are confusing PCI passthrough with enterprise IOMMU GPU support that's nowhere to be found in consumer GPU:s.

How quickly things turn. Hard to not support it given chrome wants to support PDF natively.
