The charges could put him in jail for 7 years. That's up to the judge to decide, the officers are not responsible for that. (I'll couple that with my opinion that mandatory minimum sentences is the legislature interfering with the judiciary and executive branches, and needs to go away)

I'm sure you have. Care to share some examples?

That same bullshit happens no matter what you're looking at. They're teenagers. They'll see genitalia anywhere they look for more than 10 minutes.

You'll note I left gender off of that... because gender doesn't matter much, here.

You say this like it wasn't a perfectly valid reason to shit on it...

No argument there, but progress needs to happen somewhere. We'll all benefit from it in the long run.

The focus appears to be on the shader pipeline and raw polycount. Shadow sample sizes may not be their focus.

Even with 4 GPUs, this level of detail with realtime rendering is impressive. If you were bitching about non-realtime, I'd be on your side, but this is realtime.

It is designed such that this would never be an issue. Why? Because you have to skip several critical maintenance periods to hit it. Imagine if you, somehow, kept your car engine running for two years. Ignoring the logistics of this, doing so means you cannot have changed your oil etc.

Now, if it was on the order of 11 hours, that would be more of a concern.

... not when they would all have nearly the exact same runtime - they would all hit the failsafe at around the same time.

Not that this should ever happen in the air - as others have said, if the thing manages to run for this long, someone hasn't been doing maintenance.

Three. Carmack did the same, but he backed out I believe.

80 square meters is only a 30x30' square. It's not unreasonable that you had that space above your home...

It may have more to do with the people they are trying to train...

If what is done with the data as it streams to/from disk is the bottleneck, it doesn't matter if it's sitting in RAM for you before you need it, you'll still be bottlenecked.

Of course, if you're waiting for disk I/O then there will be a difference.

OK then, try a large tree or something that WON'T break. Because in that case, you eat the full force of it... with your nice and soft body.

Modern cars do get mangled easily, yes - the idea is that they absorb the impact energies instead of you.

OBDII is a diagnostics protocol, and whether or not the car's electronics supports it has nothing to do with what the electronics are actually doing.
