Does it matter of it's true or not? Other countries will take it as licence to deploy their own weapons, or to paint the US as the bad guy.

It's possible: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

Flickering might work just as well, or better. Less energy and heat needed, and might screw up exposure or auto levelling. I have not tried it.

The problem is that if you walk around in public with a high brightness IR LED on your head, sooner or later some minimum wage security goon is going to notice their camera is blinded and get upset.

And besides we already solved the baseline problem. A bit of demand shaping, some short term storage, some interconnects.

The old model of the grid is going away rapidly.

I've seen plenty of Python used in production... My question though is that I've found Python can be quite heavy on memory bandwidth, doing a lot of copying and transforming data so it can be processed. I guess that is less of an issue with embedded, but is it still an issue?

20%, but it's only when loading very large images that are scaled down for display. And when you zoom in on them, it has to decode them again.

The PDF viewer isn't really a gain, it just pre-loads it like the bad old days of Internet Explore pre-loading itself on every boot.

Punches very obviously not connecting suggests it's been trained on Hollywood fight scenes. The other giveaway is rapid hard cuts and shaky camera so you can't see how badly the punches are not connecting. Everything feels weightless and fake.

There is a lot of AI slop, but I wouldn't discount it being able to do something decent with the right person at the helm.

Most entertainment has always been slop, this is nothing new at all. A decade ago it was reality TV, before that it was gameshows and daytime soap operas.

The interesting story here is how this demonstrates the basic different in attitude between the US and China when it comes to new technology. In the US the established players are very concerned that new tech will affect their business model, so they try to hold it back as much as possible. In China it gets embraced and there is a rush to adopt it.

Seeing some very negative prices in the mid west (I think that's the right term) states too. Not even free electricity, people are being paid to use it.

Can you get a tariff that pays you to use energy in the US? Here in Europe we have some, and if you play the game right with a home battery your energy can be pretty much free.

Solar panels are actually very good for the environment. They can help over-farmed land recover by providing shade. Livestock and some crops can live under them very happily.

They are good for your house too, they reflect some of the heat away in the summer.

I'm glad that they made the pre-orders fair. I'm not after one, but too often they open in the middle of the night (for Europeans) and by the time we are awake are sold out or all the "early bird" deals are gone. I hate that, I'm not paying more that someone else just because they found out about it first, or I had to be asleep so I could work the next day.

This way where there is a large window and then the queue order is random is much better.

This is just a camera that makes sure the driver is looking forwards out the windscreen, and doesn't have their eyes closed or looking down at their phone for extended periods. The data isn't sent anywhere or recorded, there is no spying.

There is plenty of shit to be angry about, without making up more.

Is this actually true? I watched both Gamer's Nexus videos and while they mention that LG TVs can for nearby wifi networks, probably so they can geo-locate you, they don't actually connect to them or use them. Doing so would be very, very illegal in many countries.

I hate to defend LG, but there is enough to hang on them here without what appear to be unfounded claims.

Does it have an internal cellular?

Try disabling IPv6, it reduces that a lot.
