There is no question there is broad support for senseless violence, as evidenced by the video. But I know my friend for example, and he considers Putin and his enablers to be fascists. But of course there are also many people privately agai

I have a Russian friend working in IT in Poland and he fears deportation. Unfortunately these things are reportedly happening, the sentiment should be anti-Putin but ends up being anti-Russian, mostly thanks to Russians like these: https:&

The point of useful technology is to make things more convenient. This is less convienient than typing queries on a keyboard, even if there were no HMD involved.

Then we have different priorities, if I spend a lot of money on a gaming machine beefy GPU I want 100% of its performance at all times and no risk of problems cutting into my limited gaming time. If there is a problem on Windows you can be

I'd like to believe that, but can't shake the feeling there is a chance of performance impact or a need for special magic dance to make something work. The teenager me would have no problem, he had a (fairly) working Enlightenment

One issue is that news sites article content is written to maximise ad impressions. Ads inject between paragraphs typically so you need lots of paragraphs. You start with perhaps two paragraphs of actual information, then break it down into

I say whatever floats your boat. Which I guess could be pound-force (lbf).

Yep, something like that. I would have had to know if and when Im moving a year in advance, which is ridiculous. I mean it's not like I read the fine print on that, so all the better that they had no problem cancelling the fee.

Sometimes people you talk to have powers to change the outcome in your favour, sometimes all you need to do is ask. I had an experience like that last year. I was cancelling my broadband in UK with Virgin, and got a £280 disconnection fee.

Here is something I haven't really seen considered in this context: If AI lowers the need to hire people by x% for a given project, then it doesn't just affect existing projects/companies. It lowers the barrier of entry for r

Maybe someone who actually knows stuff can provide a better reply, I think its about alignment of structures we see in the CMB.

Just yesterday I was reading about the Axis of Evil https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axis_of_evil_(cosmology) , an unexplained phenomenon observed in the CMB. Basically we are observing more and more things out there which

Local radio stations can advertise local businesses which could be an example of good/useful targeted ad. The difference is of course the targetting is "passive" and they don't know me, at a downside of being only able t

Exactly, it violates The Toilet Principle, which states that most of the time, the user of your app wants to do the thing they came to do, then get on with their life.

Imho you should have already been looking at human actor porn the way you describe the AI porn, if you want a healthy approach to porn. Obviously women don't behave in real life in bed the way they do when acting out a porn scene. Obvi

The article points to two problems, one being corporations profiting from other peoples copyrighted works with just an algorithm. Thats awful for sure, but the actual utility of content generated that way is questionable at best (Also, beca

This is much less of a problem than people make it out to be. For a lot of people, art is a way to connect to other human minds. If you know there is no human mind directly involved in the piece, you might not value the art the same way. No

Good to hear. I think its mostly wheat here, and I am positive there's been a significant bee dieoff. Again, not a professional farmer.

I am in EU, it was my mistake to shorten Eastern EU to EEU. As to why not report this, sadly the systemic problems in this particular area are pretty deep. I'm not saying 'it won't do anything', but the results may be, a

I am not a career farmer, nor a bee inspector. Are they all dead? Probably not. But I know some beekeepers in the area and all of theirs died, and I'm not seeing hives around while they used to be common. Also, you should know bees are

Sorry, I wasn't aware of Eurasian Economic Union. Makes sense. I'm in Eastern EU.

The damage is still being done. I am a non-producing farmer in EEU. I know for a fact many local farmers still use Roundup on crops, even though its illegal. There are no checks done when they sell the grain. All the bees in the area have a

Depends on the videos, I think if you want someone to watch your 1080p@60fps without stutter like they do on youtube anywhere in the world you need edge architecture designed for video no? If so, I'd like to know the service which can
