I suppose it is, but not in a Silicon Valley way. They could scale to "large Southwestern city taxi service," but it wouldn't earn back the investment or deliver on the hype. If that becomes the ceiling I bet Google will simp

They work (most of the time) in Phoenix and SF because they've mapped every single inch of the cities by now and there are no adverse conditions. It's not scalable.

I don't know their reasoning, but I can't think of a significant way to use this in a nuclear industry that wouldn't be incredibly irresponsible.

This reminds me of how any day now their self driving cars are going to work right.

We do have a way--large rotating cylinders--it's just expensive, and hard to engineer depending on the method. If Starship can really bring down launch costs per ton anywhere near what Elon claims, it will finally become feasible.

I don't think a distinction between "don't have the technical ability" and "don't have the political ability" is meaningful. The result is the same.

Cancer treatment spending is astronomical, but cancer research spending is indeed low. It's less than $5 billion per year across the entire planet, and funding has been declining year-on-year [0]. That's less than Twitter&#x27

No one embarks on enterprises of this scale for their own sake, they do it because it's profitable. Sometimes the R&D needed to bootstrap new technology isn't profitable, even if it would be once developed. The only way to for

This explains why Prime Video is the only streaming service that can never stay stable on my gigabit connection, ugh. Sometimes it drops resolution until it's 360p.

The ocean is 96.5% H2O, but man, I had a hard time drinking it for some reason.

2015 was the nadir of processor improvements. At that point, Intel had effectively used the same processor in every laptop since 2008. I would like to see this analysis post-Ryzen and Apple Silicon.

Why would they need people with novel ideas? Most users are happy to consume reposts and influencer spam ad infinitum, and they're probably the most monetizable segment.

Intel deserves a lot of blame for the last few x86 MacBooks too. The TDPs on those i9s are completely imaginary. Out to lunch. If one were to, say, design a cooling system based on the specs and then receive a production sample that ran twi

*ahem* I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux...

Projects like this tend to be built by people with no interest in marketing, and for a non-profit I think it's fine to keep that particular sort of poisonous corrosion at arm's length.

It only has the same look if it's not given any style keywords. I've been impressed with the output diversity once it's told what to do. It can handle a wide range of art styles.

This is usually done with a plug hatch and it's not that complex. The Alvin submersible has one and it's from 1964.

There's a distinction to be made here. Everything that makes SD a powerful tool is the result of being open source. The actual models are significantly worse than Midjourney. If an MJ level model had the tooling SD does it would produc

I use an ambient light rejecting screen. They only reflect light that hits them from directly below, to pair with a UST projector. It's still not comparable to an active display, but it is usable during daytime, even in rooms with larg

Apple is thoughtfully calling the Vision Pro displays microOLED, not to be confused with microLED.

by Miraste 3y ago
Yes it is. Deranged subpixel arrangements aren't an inherent feature of OLEDs, but I believe they're easier to manufacture so they're used in everything. The only OLED product I remember having normal RGB stripe pixels was th

2, 3, and 6 are resolved in newer projectors. 4 and 5 are also gone with ultra short throw projectors, although they do have to sit on something. And 1 can be solved with a screen or even the right sort of paint.

Yes, it is around 3400ppi. This has been achievable for a bit in very small displays (these are 1.4in), although I believe there are difficulties with anything larger.

There is also a difference in kind. "Crackberry" types were businesspeople, executives, politicians. People high in social hierarchies with a lot of sway. The people who use VR to that degree are, and I mean this as affectionately

I don't think so. It's called "showdead," right under email on the settings page.

You don't even need a mirror website, hiding flagged posts is a setting.

That's an odd example. askhistorians is meant to reflect current American historians' scholarly consensus, and rigidly moderated to stay that way. While this does sometimes produce insight it's one of the least debate-oriente

There's nothing wrong with them, but reddit's size lets it gather a lot of extremely specific knowledge that, were all subreddits separate forums, would be lost. Sure, many of these communities are strong enough to run their own i

No offense was meant. It seemed like your post drew a distinction where there isn't one. Even from a non-technical perspective, the Discord server system is roughly the same as the Reddit subreddit one. My point was it doesn't rep

The problem is the point between 2 and 3: - Humans who discovered the toxicity lie, bribe, bully, and cheat to stop anyone else from finding out. The solution is delayed by decades and deaths go through the roof.
