Reading through that thread... people actually want the tac-light to be left alone. It confuses the hell out of me how they can sit there and say a light that is brighter than the sun in broad daylight is just fine.

Maybe this is what it's like to get old. I turned 30 this year and think my gaming skills are definitely in decline! :(

If your motor/perception skills are at a decline at 30, you have serious issues and should see a doctor instead of writing about it on the forums :p

I have no issues and I'm closer to 40 than 30 now.

That light is so annoying. You are completely umatched when you are face to face with someone with a light you don't stand a chance. Maybe they should add sunglasses as an unlock to balance it out lol.

I think the same. The flashlight just gives the user of it a huge advantage, with very minimal threat. You don't see the flash light until its in your face , and once it is, you better hope you have a flash light in their face as well, or else you are in trouble. They either need to add a counter to it, or put a bigger downside to it, like making it more visible farther away, and less blinding.

Who is a pro pilot and what pilot joystick do you suggest I purchase? ( <$80)

I am using a program called MoitionInJoy, it allows a PS3 controller to function properly with custom keystrokes on a PC...

I am holding the left side of it, in my left hand, in order to move, sprint, crouch/prone, reload, grenade, interact, spot, and gadget. In my right hand, I have the mouse. : ) Aim, fire, scope, jump, melee. It has salvaged my first 600 kills, a .6ish K/D ratio into what is now 1,400 kills, 1.2 K/D. :)

It is awesome and way easier to me to use than W, A, S, D, etc. However, piloting isn't very easy...

Its really not hard to kill someone with a taclight, its definitely not true that you "don't stand a chance".

Shoot at middle of light

???

Profit!

Is it just me, or are the servers on the 360 are abarren wasteland? US East region. MW3 might have had it's impact...

Plenty of games on my end. I stick to Normal/Conquest only with US East/US South.

One of my best rounds yet in terms of award score.. http://battlelog.bat...75/2/185530357/

Well, it's not bad. I'm sticking to one region to minimise lag (hate the net code). Usually if I wanted a specific map in a specific mode, no problem. But looking for CQ Metro today, all servers were at 0 players. But yeah, within a week, they'll start to populate again.

I'm not kidding at all. There is no worse experience in Battlefield 3 than playing conquest on Operation Metro.

If you were to poll it with all other options listed, it would get 80%+ votes.

Conquest or Rush in Metro are the games best when the player number doesnot exceed from 32

I play the XB360 version. So it is only 12 v 12. So that makes a big difference. /shrug Still a great lot of fun, and revives/heals galore.

I've been encountering many stupid "bad luck" or false "suicides" in the last 2 days. Once I was was sprinting, jumped over a concrete slab, and I randomly died from suicide... Another time I was lying prone in high rocks and turned around quickly and died from bad luck, no falling involved...

Anyone else getting these extremely annoying false deaths?

I don't care for conquest Metro regardless of the player size.

Yeah I'm on 360 as well and metro is good fun, always find someone to kill, some of the bigger maps I find periods with noone around, I can see 32 v 32 on PC would be insane on metro.

      To be fair, it wasn't going anywhere. Even when Windows Phone could run Android APKs, Google didn't want any of it so it'd never work and the same thing happened with Windows. It was never about the store or it's users, it was always the developers and who they aligned to.

    • OpenAI and Broadcom unveil Jalapeño, a new AI chip built for LLM inference

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      OpenAI and Broadcom unveil Jalapeño, a new AI chip built for LLM inference by Pradeep Viswanathan Image by OpenAI Thanks to the exponential growth of ChatGPT and other LLM-based applications, NVIDIA has grown from a $200 billion company into the first public company to reach a $5 trillion market cap. Even though hyperscalers such as Google and Amazon have their own mature AI accelerators, NVIDIA still dominates the AI infrastructure market with multiple generations of GPUs. Microsoft, OpenAI, and Meta remain among NVIDIA’s largest customers, while Google and Amazon continue to be significant NVIDIA customers as they serve AI workloads for customers on their cloud platforms. Today, OpenAI and Broadcom announced Jalapeño, OpenAI’s first custom “Intelligence Processor” designed specifically for large language model inference. The new chip is the first product from a multi-generation compute platform being developed by OpenAI. OpenAI highlighted that Jalapeño was built from the ground up for current and future LLM workloads, rather than being a general-purpose accelerator adapted for AI. Despite heavy competition from Gemini, Claude, Copilot, and others, ChatGPT remains the most used AI platform in the world. OpenAI mentioned that it leveraged its knowledge of how its models and products run at scale, including ChatGPT, Codex, the API, and future agentic AI systems, to design this new chipset. Its chip architecture reduces data movement while balancing compute, memory, and networking resources. Jalapeño will be deployed in production systems starting in late 2026; however, engineering samples are already running machine learning workloads in OpenAI’s labs at production target frequency and power. According to its internal testing, OpenAI claims this chip can deliver “substantially better” performance per watt, and a detailed technical report is expected in the coming months. While OpenAI designed the chip, Broadcom handled silicon implementation and networking technologies, including Tomahawk networking silicon, and Celestica is assisting with board, rack, and system-level integration. OpenAI pointed out that Jalapeño went from initial design to manufacturing tape-out in just nine months, which it claims is the fastest ASIC development cycle achieved for a high-performance advanced semiconductor. The company attributed the speed of development to its own LLMs, which were used during the chip design and optimization process. Broadcom CEO Hock Tan stated that the company's plan is to deploy the Jalapeño platform at a gigawatt scale with Microsoft and other partners starting in 2026. With Jalapeño, OpenAI joins Google, Microsoft, and Amazon to become a full-stack AI player. The company already develops models and products, and is now moving deeper into infrastructure, including chips, kernels, networking, scheduling, and deployment systems.

      I'm aware. That information should have been included in the article, making it more complete and information.
