Our company thankfully doesn't demand video enabled, but on one of the semi regular meetings a low tier manager kinda half-jokes half-demands video enabled under pretext of teambuilding. Even in such conditions out of almost 100 people

I feel like every time I read about USA standards I inevitably discover that any and all SI standards are actually adopted somewhere in the USA - measures in the NASA, 24h clock in the army etc. Just not in the general populace. :)

I also like DLSS, but the OP is correct that it is a problem. Specifically it's a problem with understanding what are these cards capable of. Theoretically we would like to see separately performance with no upscaling at all, then sepa

So you are saying that Nvidia will finally force USA to the 220V standard? :)

We can't count emissions, at most we can estimate them and hope that we would be only one order of magnitude off and not worse. Numbers like that are politically motivated. On the other hand we can directly measure actual gas in the at

Startups and bigger companies too, up to international megacorporations. Companies get more workforce and faster time to market for less cost. EU gets better financial regulation (not more, but better). Competitive products means competitiv

Fortunately, even if hypothetically Texas and California will diverge even more and implement even more diverging laws, they will still be more similar than two random EU countries. They will have common legal language, they will have commo

Switzerland is a perfect example, thank you. Even without going deep into laws and nuance, the mere fact that we are referring to it by a single name and consider a mostly single entity at least as far as outside is concerned, tells us all.

The problem I see today, is that we, humans, can't find a balance in that for some reason. Less free basically translates to the moderated, and it is universally seen as a good mechanism in general. But today it is often either free fo

I sometimes use neural nets for obscure compound questions (with a so so efficiency), but I can't imagine using NN in place of Wikipedia. I go to Wikipedia to find factual information (by factual I don't mean guaranteed, I mean ha

EU needs to evolve to become closer to USA (imo). Not be a loose union with a central suggestion organ, but a real federation, with unified laws, army etc, provisions to punish sabotage and collaborators with enemies of such new federation

You are mistaking "theories" and "hypotheses". Theory in science is not some wild shot in the dark, imagined by some random guy in the eureka moment. And neither it is a something yet unproven. Theories in sciences are u

I wrote my comment that way, based on my personal memories of the news cycle between gpt-4 and gpt-4o, and the claims raised by OpenAI about gpt-4o. The hype before 4o release was overwhelming, people have expected the same step up as betwe

To output "don't know" a system needs to "know" too. Random token generator can't know. It can guess better and better, maybe it can even guess 99.99% of time, but it can't know, it can't decide or re

GPT-5 is not behind schedule. GPT-5 is called GPT-4o and it has been already released half a year ago. It was not revolutionary enough to be called 5, and prophet saint Altman was probably afraid to release new gen not exponentially improvi

And you will never see it. The whole source of all this "aliens" hysteria is precisely because all our natural or artificial optics have an outer boundary range, where they still can see something but it is barely resolvable, or b

Plants release most of CO2 when they die. Locking CO2 in plants only works with actual living green mass. And we need a colossal and ever increasing amount of plants to offset our emissions. And plants needed just don't live in the tun

Solar, nuclear, fusion, NNs, batteries and so on does not mitigate climate change. This all is great tech but all it does is slows down climate change which will happen with the same severity, but a few decades, or centuries later (the same

I would define basic as at least knowing that I don't know some topic and how to type in google "what is ...?" or "how to ...?". The amount of people outright refusing to do this simple step is honestly frightening.

Skimmed through the list. First problem - it is gigantic. Statistically there is no chance that so many books are so revolutionary genius that they are on some other level etc. Second problem - it is a generic top100/top500 style list,

I fully agree. But the actual EU reality (Poland) is that right now, this year, if you will go to the new modern (and really expensive relatively) apartment development and ask about EV parking spots, they will either tell you that nothing

Microsoft Ergonomic prevented RSI not because of keys, but because of the front raiser bar. It allowed wrists to be more line up with hands, which prevented damage to the nerves in the wrist joint which is really RSI. I wish more keyboards
