This is apt to have the same problem all the other blatantly illegal things this administration has done: who's going to stop them? They'll build the roads, eventually it will be found to be illegal, and then ... the roads will still be there.

The question isn't whether this will have a negative environmental effect (it absolutely will). The question is whether that effect is worse than mining on land. Are we okay with destroying 10% of the Amazon rainforest because we've already done it, but this is novel and seems worse?

Damn, they went from 4,000 partners to just 28? I get that margin goes up when you cut all the little guys out and only focus on the big ones, but does profit? I mean, was VMWare of old actively losing money on anyone that wouldn't commit to 3500 cores?

100% agree. What it's made of is far less important in this case than what it can do. Without an honest spec on performance, people have to make assumptions based on their manufacturing. It would be better to actually have those performance specs.

My recollection is the SciFi mini series had three parts for the first book, and then another three parts for the next two books. Probably not a popular opinion, but I liked it better than either David Lynch's version or Denis Villeneuve's version. It could be I first read the books around the...

I understand that's what it's doing. I was more asking about GPU upscaling. Is it doing that already and it's still blurry, or does the hardware not support it? Otherwise, seems like that would be the easy solution to not have the other side effects listed and not require updates to the games...

From the headline, I thought this was just going to be the usual GPU upscaling (FSR?), not natively running it higher resolution. Or was it already doing that, and just doing it poorly so it looked blurry?

No modern company can get away without calling something "AI" if they expect to gain traction. It's like everything a decade or two ago was always touting their "algorithm" to get an edge. That said, I do hope the thing works. Ounce of prevention worth more than a pound of cure and all that.

Get zapped by a Tesla Coil and you're on your way, which is maybe not far off from his hopes for Wardenclyffe Tower

I came here looking for that phrase. Making your skilled professionals fact check bullshit generators just to have someone to blame is bullshit. The layoffs are the problem. The lack of hiring and training is the problem. It can be expensive, but no one is after great anymore. Good enough is as...

I think that's a perfectly valid question. Best we have is the lawyer saying... "But the lawyer for the groups, James Oh, countered that the vaccine policy changes—which were not carried out with typical processes and lack supporting scientific evidence—were done improperly and without reasoned...

That's the problem with our default deferral to authority in our judicial system. Sure, if it turns out the warrant shouldn't have been allowed, it can be denied at trial, but it doesn't stop them from getting that information and doing who knows what with it (good luck proving it). It's like...

That's an excellent analogy, and why this article feels dishonest/clickbaity

Closest thing I could find searching was talking about "conserve mode" in a Rivian being rough on tires. https://meincmagazine.com/civis/threads/rivian%E2%80%99s-revamped-r1-electric-pickup-and-suv-tested-on-and-off-road.1501123/#post-42889612 A little more searching landed on this nice alignment...

Some newer cars with fancy air suspensions adjust it a little lower when going higher speed to improve aerodynamics and efficiency. Height adjustments on independent suspensions cause changes in camber, though. Do these new cars adjust it such small amounts that it doesn't matter, they don't...

That's been my experience with my 2012 Infiniti M37x. There's a stop sign near my house that was on my daily commute that is at a moderately steep up angle to the cross street. When the car his the breakover angle while turning, it unloads a rear tire. If it's wet and I'm anything above grandma...

How do insurance companies respond to this? If I had a Fisker Ocean with full coverage and it bricked due to a software glitch and bankruptcy, do they total it? If they total it, is the value given the commercial value of the dead brand's unit, so significantly less than a comparable vehicle...

Yeah, those are the people that need intervention to be more normal!

This is the problem with all of these generative LLMs. They were trained on unauthorized copyrighted material. Full stop. They can try to tweak their prompts or outputs to exclude blatant violations and/or blame users in attempts to avoid lawsuits, but there would be no violations if they were...

I think I found the image you're talking about. That's damn impressive for the east coast. https://www.researchgate.net/figure/A-photograph-from-the-collection-of-the-Forest-History-Society-showing-large-chestnut_fig1_312397230
