Ryan Gosling actually wrote this when trying to understand his character, and used a technique called "dropping in" to analyze writing from Nabokov's Pale Fire. He approached Villeneuve about it and he added it to the film

Right, my point is that everything about a scene should sound cold. Foley work can get you some of the way, but the ambient temperature is probably less like a prop and more like white balance. Since no one is approaching it that way, it ne

It isn't surprising to me because the standard of journalism seems to be one of "debunking". In this approach you start with something that you don't like, in this case Mond, something you do like, usually the status quo

Huh, I guess this is why movies never have convincingly cold water. Everyone is shivering, but it never sounds cold.

I hate to break it to Bloomberg, but this was posted to both nostr and X. One of those seems more likely than the other to be "freedom technology". A cynic might say that they knew full well, and took advantage of the ambiguity. S

They do, and I was using the "new" models before the update. Perhaps there is tuning or bug fixes for them? Or they just want to confirm that these are supported. There are some new models that do have different architectures, so

Yes Apple has problems, but don't forget that performance / efficiency sucks when you have an accelerated compositor spanning across graphics cards. On top of that, most Macs don't have two graphics cards (or even slots to pu

My point wasn't to derive the best classical strategy, but to describe the problem in simple terms that people who aren't familiar with quantum mechanics could understand. QM is a very academic field, verging on intentionally obt

My understanding is that it's like two of the same scratch-off lottery ticket. There are two spots you can scratch, only one has a prize, we don't know which one that is but it's same for both tickets. The tickets are taken t

Don't forget the 24GB P40, which is a third the speed but also a third the cost if a 3090 (both used).

Isn't Apple providing side loading for customers in Europe now? Sure, Apple is being petty, but I thought this is was what Epic asked for. Can anyone ELI5 this one?

Two used 3090s aren't as fast as two 4090s, but they're $800 each.

You don't need "GPT4" though. Mixtral 8x7B is robust and can be run in 36 Gb, 24 Gb if you're willing to compromise. A 1.5 bit quantization should bring it down to 16. That's still a lot compared to the iPhone 15&#x

Could the Houthis sabotage these lines? They almost certainly would if they could. ... but they can't so they shan't? Lol, a bit light on reasoning. "There is nothing I've seen in the Iranian orbat (Order of Battle) t

Yes, the article doesn't even attempt to provide evidence: Three months after the Houthis began attacking merchant ships, the Yemenite rebels have carried out another one of their threats. "Globes" has learned that four subm

If you want to understand why something happened, you'll need to look a lot deeper than that. Asking why the Houthis would cut a cable is accepting the assumption that they did.

git can already do this as long as there isn't a conflict. Maybe pijul has better three way conflict resolution, but those can be risky, and avoiding those rare situations wouldn't offset the vast amount of tooling that got has.

Huh. It would make a lot more sense if the "complicated" proton was +3 and always paired with three "simple" -1 electrons. Maybe someday we'll find the electron is really three of some even more fundamental particle

It's much easier to cause something than to predict when it will happen naturally. As Alan Kay famously said, "The best way to predict the future is to invent it."
