Writing

Last year I was upgrading my computer’s power supply unit (PSU) in an effort to prepare for the GeForce RTX 3090. It so happened that I swapped PSU manufacturers as well while I was at it.

Incremental changes for better GPU performance.

If you’ve been following my blog, you know that I’ve been fiddling quite a bit with the Halo Infinite API. To the point where I started writing my own wrapper for it.

I like reading papers on arXiv, but I like discovering them more through Andrej Karpathy’s arxiv-sanity-lite.

Back in January I mentioned that I managed to continue the tradition of beating Halo on Legendary with the release of Infinite.

After four months of waiting, I finally got my hands on a Steam Deck! I am particularly excited to get to use this device a bit more because it’s basically the cleanest version of “Gaming on Linux” that you can imagine.

We need to talk about Windows priorities as a product. And I am saying this as someone who wants Windows to succeed - it’s a great OS that, despite it’s naysayers, is still one of the best when it comes to backwards compatibility and richness of functionality. I mean, I can literally run a game written for Windows 95 on Windows 11 without major issues.

I am diving much deeper into deep learning. And with deep learning, one of the things that can help you the most is a beefy Graphics Processing Unit (GPU).

Getting visibility into your match performance outside the game.

Making sure you have the right tokens to make Halo API web requests.
