I honestly think that in some legislations with stronger worker protections it'd be legally at least dubious to use something like that for HR or security investigations (in a broad sense) without employee consent.

GPUs (namely discrete ones) often have high maximum power draw, but that's because they're generally used for tasks that require computational heavy lifting. That doesn't mean they're particularly power-hungry in terms o

You read that quoted paragraph -- and perhaps the article -- in a very different way than I did. It doesn't claim that it's fundamentally impossible for an AI to feel pain or emotions, but rather that it doesn't genuinely emp

Even if lots of real-world problems are intractable in the computational complexity theory sense, that doesn't necessarily mean an upper limit to intelligence or to being able to solve those problems in a practical sense. The complexit

Yeah, there could be some useful tweaks. I started getting much better battery life on light to moderate load on my ThinkPad when I switched the AMD pstate driver to passive mode. I don't know if that has performance implications but r

I'm also not sure that lots of the stuff in the optimization part is actually needed or useful. A lot of it seems like micro-optimization. The author probably cares a lot about tweaking his laptop. If you want to do those steps just in

You probably mean probabilistic Turing machines. Non-deterministic automata in general don't involve randomness, and the results of their computation are considered to be deterministic despite the name. And of course all TMs are just t

The classic martial arts trivia (or possibly a teaching) is that serious brain injuries became more common in boxing after padded gloves started being used. Bare knuckle boxing seems more brutal but it's said to have been safer in that

Looks like their shape is always defined by eight triangles. The page doesn't say what the genome defines about those triangles (only that there are eight vertices in the genome), but if it's just random angles and distances, it&#

ZFS is probably the exception. The problems come from OpenZFS being licensed under the CDDL, not a BSD license. There's no problem incorporating BSD-licensed code into GPL-licensed software, though.

By the time the sparks appear, you're already hit. It doesn't take a second or any time for them to hit something. They're actually hitscan. That tactic can still work against them but generally not without a cost to shields,

I think it's well known -- and supported by evidence -- that personality, chemistry and rapport with the therapist matter more than the specific kind of therapy. (With some exceptions; for example, cognitive-behavioural therapy is spec

AFAIK a similar thing worked in in lots of shooters: running diagonally by strafing and going forward gave you sqrt(x^2 + y^2) speed probably because of a design oversight (and because running in each direction was equally fast). In Descent

Skimming through it, it sounds like the video is about 8 minutes to say that the vulnerability only affected test versions of Debian and Fedora. Which is true, and the number of actual running systems that the backdoor already made its way

That doesn't quite help with the vulcan bots in the first Descent game as much because their weapons actually are hitscan, they aim ridiculously quickly, and they're often waiting behind corners or behind doors already facing you

In cases where they're around a blind corner waiting in ambush (not behind those secret doors), it's often possible to sort of preempt them by shooting lasers so that the bolt(s) on one side just barely go around the corner. Since

Cash might be an account, and a bank account might be another one. So if Alice buys with cash, it'd be $20 debit in the books account [1] and $20 credit in the cash account. Or if she paid for the book with something that directly take

The thing is, some people like full contact sports. And not just watching them but doing them. If you stripped tackles out of football or body checks out of ice hockey, that would make it a different sport, not just for the spectators but

This may be different than being out, but I also don't think it's rare to see a fighter only make glancing blows at a downed opponent. Sometimes it's obvious they don't actually try and hit hard at that point any more, a

I think mail-archive.com just shows time stamps in UTC-0700 or UTC-0800 regardless of where you are. That's how time stamps appear on all of the few mailing lists I checked out there, regardless of the sender of the message.
