Homophones don’t seems like they would be a problem intuitively. If a homophone can exist in the spoken language and retain meaning, then it would be able to exist in the written language too without a loss of meaning.

Florida will be involuntarily seceding back into the ocean. It’s just a question of the time.

Perhaps one of America’s first mega climate migrations. It’s not only sunk cost. Some of us here will live to see it literally sunk.

I mean, I live there and the average costal Floridian in my area is completely deaf to the risks and what’s coming with climate change. The whole thing is a raging party on the Timucua native burial grounds. I watched dozens of new million

Well that’s lucky, otherwise you might have ended up underwater on your loan.

Delicious irony, seeing as you are yelling your comment into the digital void. Maybe some AI will one day use it in a training set on the way to sentience and your words here will have some value? Otherwise I wouldn’t cast stones.

In my city we have medical students coming to study from all over Asia and Africa. They will become doctors, surgeons and other specialists. Many will use this as a stepping stone to stay in the EU. What you said is flat out false.

It is quite accurate, but only for the highly processed cinematic modes. Latency is essentially irrelevant for video content as long as the audio stays in sync. The game mode drops all the processing and is usually pretty low. For example,

The best minds, now spanning a couple generations, all wasted on ads. It IS a terrible misallocation. Let my people go.

I had your experience, except when I finally traded in my android for a iPhone I felt like a FOOL. It was so much better on every level. Just fantastic, polished and near perfect in every way. It was light years ahead and I realized that I

GCP lost nearly a billion dollars last year and are trailing in 3rd place. It’s shameful really.

If he’s a clever guy he knew it halfway through the first interview.

Insert “I’m in Danger” meme here. But seriously, GCP could absolutely be on the chopping block. It loses a stupefying amount of money, nearly a billion dollars last year. How mind boggling that Google can’t sell its own data center tech for

Absolutely. The entire thing is absolutely about China. Russia is a broken country that would have no significance beyond its hydrocarbons and nukes. China is an economic superpower and growing world power. Very soon it could replace the US

I believe it was required for early adopters. Then they let you claim free games while a subscriber, but you lost access if you stopped. If you weren’t subscribing you could miss free claims. It was all very manipulative and low value.

From the consumer perspective, this reminds me of the new chromecast that was released without Stadia support, even though the previous chromecast supported it. Get that! A streaming stick that couldn’t stream the company’s own paid service

Alright, I admit it was not incredibly ground breaking. Reason it impressed was that it was a very small, cheap and simple UI device that showed how to execute an IOT device well. It went on to be very popular and it was obvious from the st

It was a few years ago, but I remember it was distinctly obvious. Stadia was new. No one really knew much about it and it was not launched yet. Several users with same-ish usernames all starting giving long well written replies that kept re

I was thinking of a steam deck for the same reason. Decent 720p gaming on the go and 4k gaming at home on the same device with the same games sounds awesome. Cloud saves make it all seamless.

GeForce now is great and if I ever get a new gaming PC, I can play every last game on my own GPU. The tech works perfectly, the free tier is generous and the subscription is a value. Stadia was behind the moment they launched and flat out r

I actually am bought into game streaming. I subscribe to both MS and Nvidia. I travel a lot and not needing a console or gaming laptop rocks. Most of my gaming is from the hotel or Airbnb, so the connection is not a problem. Even then Stadi

Nvidia’s streaming is very technically competitive with Stadia. Most of the time it worked better. Business model rocks too, you own the game through your normal Steam or whatever account and rent the GPU time. I have also used MS cloud gam

I was done feeling sad many years ago. It has been absolutely ages since there was anything interesting from them. I can’t even recall the last product that seemed like a real innovation. Possibly the first chromecast in 2013? That’s 10 yea

There must have been hardly anyone stupid enough to buy many games. It’s probably not even much money to refund.

I am more entertained by this than I should be. Back when Stadia launched I was in a Reddit thread saying that the blatant double-dip business model of subscriptions + purchase stunk and that I had no faith in Google to not shut this store

That is extremely impressive progress. Lots of people were toying with using Stable Diffusion for video, but the results, while inspirational, were quite far away from looking like anything but a psychedelic trip. People were guessing we mi

Absolutely, in a major way. There are piles of studies showing all kinds of pay discrimination based on physical characteristics. The meritocracy is bullshit. People hire tall sexy people. You really think the workplace is all that differen

It seems there are still lots of mortgages issued in the US. Prices are set at the margin, so small decreases in demand can have a big impact on price. Looking at the data, I don’t see evidence that no one loans money to buy houses anymore.
