BTC is a terrible place to put criminally-obtained wealth. Public ledger and all that makes it very difficult to hide anything.

They have existed far longer than LLms, and kill tens of thousands of Americans every year. Fentanyl is the best example. Any chemistry graduate can figure out how to manufacture it. Used by China as a Chemical weapon against the American p

People are giving Anthropic the benefit of doubt. If they believe their own bullshit, the situation is far worse.

Another notable mechanic was the rewind. Didn't see that again until Braid, which really went to town with it.

That is the RABe 520. On the 2nd page of vehicles there are ABt trains with a listed price of CHF 3000.

The prices are really quite good for a country where everything is so expensive. Only 3000 for an aluminium rail car. Probably the scrap metal value is higher than 3000, although you could spend far more than 3000 transporting it to the scr

uBlock Origin Lite gives an identical browsing experience, ad-free. What is all the fuss about?

Maybe, but AI models are better at writing python and JS than any other language. Probably because they are the most common and thus had the most code available for training.

I never found myself in fear that I’m doing something unoriginal. However, I do find myself worrying I'm doing something a better resourced competitor is also working on. Most things worth doing are actually quite obvious. The determin

ETCS level 2 can increase rail capacity by orders of magnitude without laying any new track. You can have multiple trains following each other separated by stopping distance instead of having to separate trains between trackside signals.

The data/facts disagree with you. In a low birth rate society a constant influx of new tax payers is required. Without it you end up with decades of stagnation like Japan.

Why would you pay for a review from a smartphone reviewer who likely has never listened to Vinyl?

How does interaction with world geometry come with an explosion in complexity and performance? Advection has almost same cost regardless of if some cells are solid or not. It's one extra line in your shader + 1 bit per cell. JFA to bui

What? It's incredibly easy to take full use of memory bandwidth. For example, put proper volumetric smoke/fire/explosion sim in your game. But game developers don't do that because they are lazy.

Two of the guys in the video exit the hole with a ~ 32"x16" metal sieve. They appear to be panning for gold in shit, not exploring.

For anyone wanting to dive further, Fluid Simulation for Computer Graphics by Robert Bridson is the definitive textbook.

The Corsair kit you linked there is indeed only sold in China.

Not going to happen. Chinese RAM/GPU will be sold exclusively to Chinese market.

This is so obviously untrue. The stealth games that "define stealth areas, points, volumes, gradients between them, etc" are not fun. e.g. think of grass in an Assassin's Creed game: clearly defined, but the mechanic feels ch

What stealth games? There hasn't been popular light based stealth games since Splinter Cell. Nowadays, what counts as "hidden" is so much more clear than it ever was in Splinter Cell. e.g. You can see all enemies thru walls w

I don't see local AI taking off. Memory costs make it impractical. Deepseek API pricing is not a suitable analogue because it's not local.

It's referred to as a "telephone box". Never heard anyone call it a Kiosk.

I taught English in China 20 years ago. Of the thousands of students I taught, none wrote with their left hand. "There are no left-handed in China" might sound as ridiculous as "There are no gays in Uganda". However of

Underwhelming demo. Also the controls are terrible, but, the real Goldeneye was also underwhelming with bad controls if you had played Quake II.

I take issue with the premise that "Using AI means you don’t learn as much from your work" With AI assistance, I tackle far more tasks than I would without it. Learning per task goes down, but cumulative learning does not.

The cynical take would be that releasing the X-Files is only meant to distract from the Epstein files and/or failed war in Iran.

From Europe I get a blank page saying 'Not Found'. Had to VPN to US to load it.
