Agree mostly, but the best option under Linux seems to be Intel graphics (or at least was until a few years ago) - arguably not beefy enough for some things, but regarding supported features, stability and power consumption the best support

My experience is 180° opposite to what you describe. I never had a mentionable issue with AMD cards since switching to the open source driver approx. a decade ago. I have a NVIDIA 1060 card in my workstation for CUDA - every single time I p

TL;DR : You can't reconstruct a generic video stream from a dozen detected facial data points. Not sure if I understood your post correctly, but you're slightly misled here. Watch the video. This is not a new general purpose vide

Woodworking is one of those "skills" that might seem so unapproachable, and yet the learning curve is quite steep (in the technical sense). I'm nowhere near a master and make a lot of stupid mistakes. But my relatives think

How is this anti-democratic? Democracy means the reign of the people - nothing in that concept involves that corporations can't remove someone (pressure someone to step down) because of his views/actions. To be more precise: In a

I agree with everything you said - besides the "necessary" part. As someone that currently (not going to sit in full trains/subways for 2h a day the way it is right now) sits in the car for around 100 minutes a day (at least

That's the point. Taking what you earn a and live with in Norway, and comparing it with other countries, due to massive subsidies (luxury-tax excemptions that usually apply to cars), a Tesla is an affordable option for an Norwegian loo

That's one explanation that focuses on the differences between European an American markets. But also, the Zoe is is in the affordable range for people looking for an electric car in non-massively-subsidized markets (Norway, Denmark),

Interesting argument. In fact if the fault would lie only between screen and the 'last mile' on the GPU you would be correct. But GPUs are slightly more than simple display renderers (at least nowadays), so (vast simplification) m

This has tradition at CERN. I wonder why they even considered Facebook's offering, but I guess they do not dismiss proprietary solutions as well. Whatever works? Often enough they end up writing their own tools, if nothing fitting is a

Nothing can be "demonstrably" secure if we cannot demonstrate it. We simply cannot guarantee control over the depot for the given time-frame. A lot of things can happen in 1 million years . You should really read this for anoth

I have one of those. It does not "wash" the air. It has a HEPA-filter on the intake side before the humidifying cycle. So it is basically the same thing as all other examples on this comment page. You can actually run it without w
