You always have the option of streaming a game, though. 8 GB is good enough for most everything, and can you stream on an exception basis, if something truly demanding catches your eye.

To the extent that there is a gap in sea or air power, you fix that, you don't waste attention or money on side projects like artillery shells. The administration claims that it isn't distracted by Ukraine and Europe, and wants to

We have scaled artillery shell production, it's about 3 times what production was prior to the conflict in Ukraine. And the Pentagon claims they'll double that again by next Spring. Given that the actual peer conflict that matter

Steam getting a 30% cut is certainly less objectional that Apple getting 30% because they've locked other people out of selling on iPhones. On the other hand, that Steam taking as big a cut as Apple can claim because of their unfortuna

I spend about 16 hours a week making AI videos. I'm not at all impressed by Sora 2. Open AI merely seems less embarrassing behind than they were, but still clearly behind. As someone who loves seeing videos that appear after I type som

I dunno. It's not at all clear what "small organizations, whose role in the human societal ecosystem has thus shrunk significantly" even means, over what time, and in what society. The post itself, as a piece of thinking, se

G+ was a significant effort that was abandoned. I'd personally define that as Google hedging their bet's and being prepared in case they needed to truly pivot, and then giving up when it became clear that they wouldn't need t

Yeah, and Google has cared deeply about AI as a long term play since before they were public. And have been continuously invested there over the long haul. The small stuff that they kill is just that--small stuff that was never important t

The point of wargames and the work of the committee is to find issues and address them, not so that one can panic about nonsense like China building ships faster than we can build missiles. As noted, the result of the wargames was that Chin

Taiwan benefits from the US having access to some additional chip manufacturing to support a war effort and reduce the economic cost of intervening. At the end of the day, Taiwan can resist, slow down China, and make them pay an absurdly h

The core product failure here is overhyping incremental improvement, eroding trust. PMs operating at this level ought to be bringing in some low cost UX improvements alongside major features. That simply isn't a sign that they've

The Bush administration was looking to "win" in the Afghanistan by doing nation building, which was never going to work, and certainly wasn't going to be accomplished by military means. Obama and Trump both chose to kick the

Copyright's goal, at least under Constitution under which this court is ruling is to "promote the progress of science and the useful arts" not to ensure that authors get paid for anything that strikes their whim. LLMs are mod

As an enduser, I hate, hate, hate webp, because I cant' easily use the images in a wide range of ways. Maybe it's vaguely more flexible and compresses well. I don't care. If someone uses it, I despise them.

Even if impeachment is off the cards, is it impossible to imagine that there could be any sort of impact from Republican lawmakers hearing Republican voters that, or other things are not what they voted for or want?

Stephenson is using a evocative metaphor and a bit of hyperbole to make a point. To take him as meaning that literally everyone entire population is like the Eloi is to misread.

No one has a deep emotional connection with OpenAI that would impede switching. At best they have a bit of cheap tribalism that might prevent some incurious people who don't care much about using the best tools noticing that they aren&

AI Boosters can suggest whatever nonsense strikes their fancy, and creatives can give into fear for no reason, but the best estimates we have from the BLS is that the there are careers and ongoing demand for artists, writers, photographers.

Kitsune is great! I've been a VideoFX tester, and have made a couple of five minute shorts. You end up having to generate a lot of shots that you throw away. This is a lot easier to bear if you are tester without really strict monthly

Based on your description, consumers also get a wider range of delivery options. Also, it is a little odd that people are dining out more often if the experience is worse. But, yeah, wages and employment being down is the most relevant chan

It doesn't seem correct to dismiss the creativity of Move 37 because real originality is "something more fundamental, like inventing the rules of Go itself" It would seem more fruitful to simply point out that LLMs aren'

As it happens, in the elderly, a BMI at the lower range of "obesity" is better than having higher or lower weight. Of course, with the shortage of geriatricians, most seniors are unlikely to find this out.

While you may be aware that you're anxious, part of the point of things like mindfulness is that not everyone is aware of what their autonomic nervous system is doing to them, because it functions largely unconsciously. So it's he

AI results should be better than this, but there will be hallucinations from time to time. That is entirely foreseeable. The true failure here is by the humans who couldn't be bothered to do the bare minimum to protect the brand. This

The authorities in the PRC are probably much better positioned than you are to decide what is in their interest to suppress. As for the US, some people have fallen into a self soothing sense of hopelessness. Not everyone has. But worrying a

Good adaptation is inherently transformative, despite nerd disgruntlement. Perhaps in a few years AI will have progressed to the point people can spin up their own literal version and see this for themselves.
