Those were transmitted offline so they didn't have authentic NVENC H264 compression artifacts. Never before have you seen it with 260 Mbps ;) /s

To me, the whole thing sounds like cheating in benchmarks. Intel built a tool that will only activate for a specific benchmark - but not for real-world software which accomplishes similar things - and then the tool will replace generic byte

This is what I thought, too. Watch them dig a hole for themselves while you take a vacation. And then when they fail to debug the mess, charge them by the day for your expertise, because it’ll be necessary for untangling that mess.

Fully agree. The low-res makes this unnecessarily hard to navigate. Which is a downside if your core gameplay is to teach players to navigate in a challenging environment.

I guess this implies high quality WebRips for years to come, because blocking Intel Laptops isn’t feasible for any streaming service. And from what I heard, control over SGX would let you extract the WideWine etc. key store without!!! the O

Use AI! It'll make you a 10x engineer! (cost-wise) /s I've recently had the displeasure of Opus 4.6 hallucinating an API. It would have been great if that API had existed, but it did not. Still, it then looped until I manuall

While I believe this article to be correct, Germany is an interesting counter-example: Germany first introduced mandatory child car seat laws on April 1, 1993. [1] That year, fertility was at 1.28 kids per woman. Since then, it has increase

"Wouldn't the real cause of the depressed birthrates be the requirement to own a car in order to have children?" Yes. The one-time setup costs for "properly" raising kids are probably around $30k. All the kids stuff

“the apex of internal combustion engines means they’re doing more than just propelling a vehicle around roads and highways. They’d also be air purifiers, removing CO2 as they go.” which sounds amazing, but is followed by 0 facts or informat

I think the instability is mostly due to the CEO running away at the same time as a forced Azure migration where the VP of engineering ran away. There’s only so much stability you can expect from a ship that’s missing 2 captains.

These satellites have 15cm per pixel of resolution, so the image can not only be used to find the ship, but probably you can also count the crew.

Or maybe the other shops were offering a higher CPC? I heard OpenAI is trying to introduce invisible advertising.

That sounds like the start of a very lucrative career. Are you sure it was Gemini and not an AI competitor offering affiliate commission? ;)

Same here. While LLMs sometimes work surprisingly well, I also encounter edge cases where they fail surprisingly badly multiple times per day. My guess is that other people maybe just don't bother to check what the AI says which would

You can rent access to nearly real-time custom satellite targeting for <$3k per image. That means while you're correct that not all countries can afford it, most can.

I was also a bit surprised to see a weapons advertisement.

I’m a happy user of both Kagi Search and Assistant. I would totally support a “even more than Pro” subscription for Assistant, but then it should also have its own proper API if I pay for it like a proper product. That said, I wonder how th

Yesterday, I was praying to ChatGPT and asking for guidance on my car washing problem. Through its holy scripture, it suggested me to walk to the car wash to improve my fitness. When I arrived and found the absence of my car to be a true hi

I’m a happy CrossOver customer myself. But they don’t have enough resources to keep all major Windows apps working well. Which, to me, indicates that the business model of selling support only to those who are willing to pay, while letting

The legacy PC makers are lucky that Ubuntu doesn’t work on this, or else they’d face even more competition. By now, everyone hates Windows. And I’d wager some people hate it enough to be willing to switch to whatever works and is halfway ad

Fully agree. When I have to use Windows from time to time, I’m always surprised by how laggy the cursor feels even on hardware that can do 8K VR just fine.

It really is a pity that there’s no working business model around open source maintenance for software like wine. I’m the guy who fixed the wine bug that blocked new iTunes versions, because I like to keep my music in iTunes for easy iPhone

„Fitting“ is still too nice of a word choice, because it implies that it’s easy to identify the best solution. I suggest „randomly adjusting parameters while trying to make things better“ as that accurately reflects the „precision“ that goe

Related to your answer, I would say the reason is that it works good enough for now and it can always be patched later. Back in the good old days that we remember, software was frozen on a gold master disc, which was then tested for weeks o

If all the AI revenue projections were correct, then 1% of worldwide GDP would end up at AI companies. Or said differently: you buy a sandwich for $5 and somehow AI gets $0.05 out of that transaction.
