One didn't need FB account at the start either. Nothing says they won't bring it back despite backlash. Even if they have now changed their opinion on what can be done a large amount of damage is done. No-one will actively monitor

You mean it would disable FSD when it would see that impact was inevitable so Tesla could claim that FSD had nothing to do with the accident.

RT is not a different step. Just like compute shaders are not a different step in the graphics pipeline but they're an independent thing. RT dispatches are their own concept and have their own rules.

It's very relevant. The parts shown here haven't changed. The biggest things we've gotten is just more control about command submission and dependencies etc. Otherwise the rasterization pipeline still chucks along exactly as

This seems very weird. Where does this come from? I'd assume none will guess correctly because you have countably infinite guesses from uncountably infinite set (the colors) so the set of guesses is very sparse, meaning pretty much non

To be honest the best modern Apple UI happened after era of Jobs. iDevices during his tenure were pretty bad designs heavily based on skeuomorphism. The current usability issues in OSX are something that he'd likely have supported, or

Saying it's made of gluons is exactly the same as saying that a charged object in electric field has it's potential energy made of photons. It's not exactly informative nor true. Yes you can describe the electric field as sum

It's not. Just like how if you push two identically charged plates towards eachother the potential energy in that system is not made of photons. Sure you can describe the electric field in that case by a viewpoint where you sum virtual

Just ignore the "virtual particles" part. Most of the mass comes from the binding energy. As in the rest masses of the individual quarks is small compared to total mass of proton. Virtual particles themselves can always be ignored

Depends on the surface area of the forest. A single tree takes tens of years to grow but a certain area of forest contains enough growing trees that by the time you cut down the last the one you planted first has grown to full. Do note that

That’s US specific thing. I ordered a RAV4 PHEV (prime in US) last year and it was a factory order from Japan. Toyota Europe app even tells you when it’s built and then tracks the shipment to your local Toyota dealership.

For a new player the absolute first thing to do is walk north from the starting city -> investigate the falling wizard -> read the scroll because What Could Possibly Go Wrong -> Jump And then reload the save or start a new game.

Morrowind is all about cheesing the system. It's one of the few games that allow you to go full singularity. How it works: You make a potion of intelligence. Drink it. Now you're more intelligent and would you look at that, the po

So: Because Stallman is a problematic character you must allow companies profit from your work without compensation. Reads like a PR piece for companies that want more free stuff.

One must also remember to differentiate the deployment targets. Not every piece of software is deployed in your own machine. Let's take games as an example. You cannot say to users "Just buy more powerful compute/phone".

Missile attack. On paper the Russian missile defense systems should be able to easily defeat 2 missiles like the neptune. Their CIWS etc are pretty good. On paper. Accidental fire on board is a freak accident that’s not replicatable. Missil

There is a massive difference. With that kind of mushroom one can expect that any random pair is very likely to match up. With humans you have tad less of 50% chance of being able to make kids with any random otherwise fertile human.

Moldova has a separatist area maintained by Russian troops. Transnistria. So in a way Russia has already attacked them, though not yet tried to conquer, yet. Also Moldova shares no land border with Russia, yet (and very much hopefully not).

> simply because buying oil elsewhere would be expensive and politically inconvenient. Like I mentioned in the previous post, the main reason is to keep some leverage. It's the biggest financial sanction that can be thrown at them.

Germany also buys Russian gas. It's basically the last thing Russia has to lose anymore. If they escalate the conflict even more (by even more brutally bombing civilians) I'd be surprised if energy was not part of the sanctions. I

It's abundantly clear what the conditions are: Stop the attack against their neighbour and the sanctions are lifted. Anything less let's Putin get away once again. And right now every country in Europe, and their citizens, are sic
