Precisely. If you make mistakes like this expensive enough for the police station then the problem solves itself. The real problem is that someone promised the police and the school a magic new technology that would make their schoolyard safer. So far the system probably has zero wins, and one spectacular failure. If the political and economic fallout for the failure is high enough then the school turns off the crappy system, and it encourages other schools to do the same. Potential new buyers for the system disappear and the vendor of the system goes out of business.

And we all win.

Eventually the school might even end up with an effective system that does roughly the same thing, but it will likely be structured in a way that makes it less likely that Doritos wielding young adults get assaulted by the police. It's hard to argue against safer schools. In any system like this false positives are going to be a potential problem. If you make false positives expensive enough, however, then you likely get the outcome that you want.

The media has been reporting on these crime centers for years now, including the fact that they are enslaving thousands of workers. Yet the Burmese military junta has done nothing until now because they are most likely partners in the lucrative business. What caused them to turn on their business partners now? My bet is on China, who have given full support to the junta in recent days.

"And your etymology is a fantasy. "

You've confused c.f. with e.g..

Only if you want your delivery to be very expensive. The article kind of didn't bother to mention that only the ZQ-3's first stage is reusable, so it's more like a "Starship-esque Falcon 9", both in terms of reusability, size, payload, diameter, etc..

Seriously, what's the point of using AI to generate details that even bleeding edge hardware can't run at a decent framerate

I don't know what you're talking about. This is as far as I can tell about the process of creating game assets in the first place - not about generating them in realtime. It doesn't have any impact on performance.

I've used AI model generators (mainly image-to-model), and for game-type assets, they're usually good enough, though you still of course want a human to exert control over them. But it's way faster than from-scratch modeling. For say 3d printing, though, you really need to decompose the image into smaller components, process each individually, and merge, because otherwise too much fine detail gets lost into the texture instead of being part of the actual model. Regardless, they've been improving at a good pace. I haven't tried (as I've not had a need) but I think they now have model generators that even rig the models.

It doesn't say anything about being clean.

Sigh. Flight schools

You've posted a bunch of funny posts today haven't you. The 911 attackers were not only in the country legally but they also had openly enrolled at first schools. Immigration knew they were here. They had their passport numbers written down and visas were issued. All this present policy would have done was to make id of the attackers earlier after the fact.

You say it was an echo chamber but remember how much Donald Trump used it? Everybody used it.

Granted that was falling apart by the end of Trump's term and he was banned for comments relating to Jan 6.

Really? You think criticism of your leader (that's also shared by at least half Americans) means that someone hates the US? And with your last statement there, it's no wonder you see so much apparent hatred in the world. That's the crux whole problem right there.

We don't really want to live without you, but Trump as a unreliable partner is making that impossible, much like an abusive spouse. So yes the world will have many problems without the US as it used to be, but Trump's given us all no choice really, so we move on and make the best of it. We're preparing for very difficult times. We all hope things will go back to normal where the US acts rationally, and recognizes that stability and world peace benefit it tremendously, but I don't see that ever happening, sadly.

Did I miss where Congress passed a bill to do this?

Definitely +1 accurate. Not Troll. Metamods, take note!

Ha I essentially said the same thing a while back and someone came out of the woodwork to say i cosplay as a conservative! So bizarre. It really is 1984 where words have now taken on opposite meanings. War is peace, freedom is slavery. Doubleplus good.

Look how twitter got destroyed as a common medium for communication, with no replacement. X (right) and Bluesky (left) together are not a replacement for what twitter used to be. Now wikipedia as a store of knowledge goes the same route? Can't we just have one reality, but have different opinions about it?

And I thought, that sounds about right.
