Hopefully less rapey than this shit 🤮

Really thought your second story was gonna end with David being dead… Which I mean, it kinda does

They also can start a fire, but only once. While every chapter of a book can light a fire.
Another victory for books

I think most e-readers will stop working if you cut them in half to be more portable. Books still have the upper hand on this

I look forward to seeing that fact in an AI overview on google

Never said they do that to protect us, it’s to protect themselves and the publishers.
IIRC there were region restrictions but it was not enough

Frame gen, in my experience, is worse than upscaling. At least upscaling has some uses (but about 10% of what they say in marketing materials). Frame gen just makes the game have worse latency for disgusting frames that barely look like the base game.

I sure hope the games run better when enabled, it’s effectively running at lower resolution and upscaling. It’s just a fancy resolution select marketed as genuine improvements.

It makes games run worse and look horrible because devs now target dlss performance mode for 60fps on medium hardware. The game is rendered at 720p and blurred to death until you can’t notice the half rendered frame and pixelated effects that depend on it (and TAA).

It’s also a marketing ploy to lie to consumers, saying their cards get 3x the performance of the previous Gen, by generating fake frames in between real ones. Displaying garbage but because the benchmark say 100+fps, it must be better right? Even though there are more presentation errors, latency is through the roof and the result is insane.

DLSS 5 continues the trend of lies by simply putting a yassification filter on top, lies to the dev, and lies to the consumers.

It’s not greed, it was scams and fraud.
They would love selling you games that sit idle in your inventory, but it created a secondary market for stolen accounts and allowed card thieves to extract money after buying and gifting on Steam.

Yes but the language ecosystem is a moving target

Forever? When every new python version breaks compatibility with the previous?

Get out of here with your level headed take. The pitchforks already have been distributed and it has been decided Mozilla will sell the data asap! /s

That’s incidental:

he adjusted the scale so that the melting point of ice would be 32 degrees, and body temperature 96 degrees, so that 64 intervals would separate the two, allowing him to mark degree lines on his instruments by simply bisecting the interval 6 times (since 64 = 2⁶).

You can just scale it down and have the same experience. It’s all just habit and familiarity

It’s the same in most of Europe afaik. You can’t be filmed as a primary subject without consent. For example, I can photograph you in the background of a monument or in nature, without having to ask your consent.
It’s the same for dashcams, you are filming the road primarily not the pedestrian.

Edit: even better, in France (and iirc in Belgium too) I can photograph you as a primary subject without consent, but I cannot reproduce or distribute the picture of you without your consent.
Look up “Droit à l’image” if you want to know more.
Edit2: Hungary seems to have laws like I initially described, so taking pictures of videos in public should be okay as long as more than 1 person is visible on it.

The hardware being built right now is not usable by consumers. What would you do with a raw HBM chip? You can’t put it yourself on a gpu, nor on a ram stick.
Want a gpu? I hope you have a 3k Watt power supply to handle one of them.

They are not making consumer products anymore. Only data centre tier hardware.

Gone are the days of buying hundreds of Gb of ram and older xeon cpu from decom’ servers, a cheap motherboard to tie it all together.
None of that will be usable by us pleb.

Even when the AI bubble pops, all hardware manufacturing will still be making datacentre grade hw, and either won’t go back to consumers, or it will take months to pivot the factory.

I think that was a friendly plane

You’re absolutely right, that was indeed a friendly American f-15 plane we shot down. Would you like me to make a note not to shoot friendly planes in the future? ⚡ 💪

Please never develop any software for other humans without first developing any kind of compassion or empathy for others.
You are the stereotypical nerd that doesn’t understand people may have different needs than you, so I have to justify how a feature relating to accessibility can be useful…

Being technically something implies it’s not really or to be considered apart from the group.

The “gimmick” is proposing alt text based on the image when editing PDFs. I don’t see how it’s unhelpful. I’m not into editing PDFs in firefox, but I do use it to read them.
Inciting editors to include an alt text for accessibility seems like the ideal use case for this tech. The human still has to review and approve the generated text.
Unless I missed something as I cannot try the feature now, it seems to me a great application of ai, to augment humans in their work, and to a useful cause.
Image classification and description is “old” tech now, and I already use it in my work to auto tag images for editors to find more easily later. Nothing crazy.
