Also, it's unusual for a game to be CPU bottlenecked nowadays, and if it is, it's probably more constrained on memory bandwidth than raw FLOPS.

In practice the only liability you might wind up with is whether you technically met the conditions for checking the box (instead of just checking falsely). But the liability for the overall consequences of not doing the actual job the chec

It's exactly this kind of transactional approach that is reducing the US's influence on its allies in the first place.

I think the international community is demonstrating to the US that they can't drop their military support for their allies and also expect that they still help to clean up their messes.

This is true. Maybe it's someone seeing a requirement like "all passwords must conform to these rules" and deciding that it means they need to check them directly, instead of looking at the systems that enforce that constrain

By that argument the companies that are 'most efficient' are the ones that extract the most money. Efficiency is a property of both sides of the equation, and by that light I would say the most efficient gambling provider is the o

I think an honest gambling ad would include wins and losses at an appropriate ratio and emphasize the excitement as opposed to the payout. I do think the majority of people engaging in gambling engage with it in that way (even if I don&#x27

If that were the case than libel and slander would be legal.

Probably because most people haven't internalized how password hashing works.

Is there some part of PCI auditing requirements that is getting misinterpreted by some auditors to demand this? Though in my experience with standards like this what auditors want to see and what the standards say often have only loose over

It's entirely possible that is actually what they wanted (at least what the people in the company they were talking to wanted). I suspect that "we understood to mean" is language carefully designed to avoid a lawsuit.

It seems unlikely that the FSFE is the first customer they have asked for this information.

It's not obvious that will exist in the near future, anyway. Waymo aren't planning on selling their cars, and the economics and liability structure of self-driving strongly bias towards just running a taxi service.

As someone who works in a few different engineering disciplines, I think software engineers often have a very rosy picture of other areas of engineering. The problems are different, but things are not any better on average.

Most of those cases in that number aren't even online posts, but stalking and harassment through other means of communication.

Apart from why "those apps are not in a store", there's very good reason to want to use an alternative source for your applications. F-droid is a far safer source than google play is, because they actually vet the source code

'understanding' is orthogonal to 'judging'. OP may be judging themselves as well, but it's still a judgement. It reads like "I understand why you don't think this is bad', which is a statement that 10

Phrases like 'you haven't earned it' imply some kind of judgement, IMO. You have the thing now, if all you wanted was the thing, not the lessons you learned along the way, then job done. The prediction that this will ring hol

Probably what it says on the tin, TBH. If you hold the keys, it can strengthen security a lot.

It is hard to read the comment in question as anything other than 'the struggle is important to your satisfaction', which to me feels at the very least not unversally true (different people will find satisfaction from different th

Aye. The number one way to make software amenable to future requirements is to keep it simple so that it's easy to change in future. Adding complexity for anticipated changes works against being able to support the unanticipated ones.

Apparently they used something similar for production on avatar: stereo cameras for depth estimation which allowed realtime depth composition of CG characters onto the shots they were taking, which makes it a lot easier to get everyone on t

It's hard to speed up running a single prompt through a model because it's a sequential memory-bandwidth limited process (you roughly need to cycle through all of the weights in the model to get the next token, before starting aga

Arguably it should be both. Sitting and occupying a DC fast charging booth, especially once you're not charging at the full rate, represents an opportunity cost since someone else could be using it.

It's hard to overstate how screwed hardware design and prototyping would be if companies like digi-key went under. There's only a few electronics distributors like them around and most of them are centered in the US.

Keep in mind giving stuff away for free is going to be much more popular than any other price. Don't discount that these projects are popular _because_ they are OSS, and if you introduce another model then one potential outcome is that

The manufacturers are absolutely working to create and profit off of that culture though. For constructed play, booster packs are no different to loot boxes: they only have the effect of increasing and obfuscating the amount of product you

It's a double-edged sword. For the seller, the ideal would be getting people just as addicted but not allowing trading, since that increases the average spend required to get a specific desired pull substantially.

Doesn't stop people from treating them as one, with all the corresponding issues. TBH I think a comparison with CCGs should make people question the CCG model itself, which tends to get far too easy a pass in most people's minds.
