If asked to make icons for languages, whet else would you even use instead of flags? Icons help find things faster, and the users are used to seeing flags next to language labels. In some cases, a single flag indeed does not sufficiently de

China scare aside, "cavitation implosion by plasma detonation" does not quite fit the definition of silence for me.

Wtf are you talking about? China is the world's largest maker and exporter for drones. Their swarms will easily annihilate anything US/Japan/Taiwan on their way. The only question is what costs more: taking Taiwan by force or

It's only easy to start up to hello world kind of projects. To build anything useful you quickly discover that it's hard to build from source (both the lang and extensions), some parts unmaintained for years. There are many coun

Search engines are not the beacons of holiness - they sell ads, they sell data on who searched what, they manipulate results. Search engines and AI things are typically owned by the same company. AIs are fed with the data collected by a sea

I'm kind of out of the loop in regard why do we need to hate on AI? The bubble will burst given time, like all the other bubbles before. What needed is indifference, not hate.

The crawlers can simply stop identifying themselves via custom user agent, can't they? Also why are "AI" crawlers are worse than "normal" crawlers? Either way, this is an exercise in futility.

So what? An adversary (US) has deployed more advanced spy/military satellites in orbit than anyone else, so of course others would seek to develop measures to counter them. To note, nuke blast in space is probably harmless for humans a

That was also my first thought, references, virtual memory, etc. But I insist the value is incorrect. The measurement units got mixed up. You cannot say X Tb (virtual space) of Y Tb (physical space). These are different units! I can see how

Fighting turbulence must have an impact on fuel efficiency and range. Additionally, pressure probes add weight and drag to the aircraft. Overall, I think these kind of solutions look brittle and error-prone.

In some sense, a constant pressure from the lawmakers to compromise privacy is vital for encryption to evolve. No law should be able to break into private messages, and so I think CSAR should be passed, because as a consequence, new encrypt

Youtube is already full of low quality nonsense made en masse without whatever they call AI. Another point, AI-made content is (or soon will be) indistinguishable from authentic footage, so any effort to label it is quite quixotic and will

Why would "AI" be treated in a special way among other tools in a CG artists toolbox? Should I label a video where "AI" applied denoising or color grading? I could hire an actor to professionally fake a voice of a celebr

"Since I am good at X (coding in this case), my opinion is valuable in all subject matter (no)." The same goes for movie stars and musicians making statements about politics or tech.

That is what EVs are for. Replace the battery every few years and replace your car whenever a new incompatible plug standard comes out.
