Android is unfortunately no longer an OS controlled by the user and that is very concerning.

Any DRM protection where the OS sees the video is useless, because the OS is under full control of the user. (For now at least)

Since no one mentioned how to actually dismiss the notification forever: OneDrive is treated as a normal app that is installed by default, you can actually just uninstall it through Add or Remove Programs in the Control Panel.

I wonder why they haven't upgraded the spinning hard disk to an SSD. Even on old hardware you'll find that often the HDD still presents a bottleneck.

Isn't this just a desirable property of LLMs? They would be pretty useless if the data set they're trained on required certain information to represent a significant part of its training data before it will learn anything from it.

This is mentioned in the article, the fundamental problem is a capacity problem. If patients could be moved out of the ER department to hospital wards then there would be a greater ability for the ER department to monitor patients.

It's more like: "I support Apple's centralized control on all apps you can run, as long as that monopoly is only used to squeeze out competition and not for censorship." Of course government censorship becomes a lot easi

External monitors still work in Optimus mode. Only if you use Ultimate mode where the mux switches to the Nvidia GPU does the issue arise.

My 2013 Macbook also had a display mux that switched the laptop display itself between the integrated and discrete GPU. In some cases it would fail to properly switch the display over causing it to remain permanently off until the next rebo

by CrossVR 1y ago
This flaw only happens in Ultimate mode, when the user explicitly tells the mux to switch to the discrete GPU. This is an extra feature only users who primarily use the laptop for gaming with an external display care about. The laptop works

Any reason you didn't pick up computer graphics before? Everything is linear algebra and there's even actual physics involved.

Now you're getting to the heart of the thought experiment. Because does it really understand the code or subtext, or is it just really good at fooling us that it does? When it makes a mistake, did it just have a too limited understandi

The outcome of transitioning after puberty versus before is meaningfully different. Not to mention the mental distress of going through puberty with gender dysphoria.

> "they can always do it as an adult", then that's a perfectly good reason for doing it with puberty blockers too. You can't block puberty as an adult. Most people are already past puberty once they turn 18.

If that is the reasoning behind allowing infant circumcision, then there should be no argument against puberty blockers. It is proven to be beneficial to a person's quality of life if they suffer from gender dysphoria. I'm not sur
