Yeah, it's a common joke in German that you can't tell someone's gender by looking at their face: the nose is female ("die Nase"), the mouth is male ("der Mund") and the eyes are neuter ("das Auge&quo

Mark Twain was making fun - the essay isn't supposed to be taken seriously. His conclusion would also be wrong , since the grammatical gender has nothing to do with he biological gender - it's the gender assigned to all diminuti

I also never denied that. But there's a difference between finding details that would otherwise go amiss (i.e. in lieu of a microscope revealing features invisible to the unaided eye) and reproducing data that simply isn't there t

Absolutely not. If there's not enough information available, there's not enough information, full stop. Plausible (i.e. "good looking" or "believable") results are not the same as actual data, which is why enh

Hm. So I took the example image, upscaled by 200%, applied a sharpen filter (all in Paint.NET) and compared the result to the AI upscaled image. TBH, I couldn't see a difference. 2x upscaling isn't all that impressive to begin wit

It's a a double-edged sword really. On the one hand it's a much more approachable and user-friendly design (especially the preview feature), on the other hand it blocks valuable screen real-estate; this is especially an issue ever

That would imply that there even was a laptop market for AMD in the first place. As the market numbers show, up until last year, AMD simply wasn't relevant at all in the notebook segment, so what developer experience are you even talki

How does that contradict my point - Apple has to support the M1, since their M1-based SoCs don't support dGPUs (yet), so the M1 is all there is. Besides, Apple is the most valuable company in the world and has exactly the kind of resou

Might have to do with the fact that AMD just doesn't seem to have the resources (see the common complaints about their drivers' quality) to fully support every chip. Another reason is certainly that they simply don't need to

What's wrong with .net? musl also gives a lot of errors with other frameworks that aren't supported, yet no one bats an eye in those cases. What's special about .net? Is it just because it's MS or what?
