Wow is strange.
I left after CAT as WOTLK was it's height before activation started ruining things after the Ulder patch in WOTLK by nerfing and adding raid finder. But Classic anneversary has its users including myself. I came back after 13 years.
Use the right tool for the job. Linus Torvalds himself said he liked Office and PowerPoint and it makes sense to use the OS which your software was designed for.
Personally I am considering buying a console for the first time ever. Nvidia greed and games running better on $499 PS5 suboptimal RDNA 2 with Unreal 5 than $4000 PCs mean there is some serious issues with Windows
BlackMyth Wukong beats my 5080 hands on a playstation. I got into so many flamewars over this from PCMR fanboys saying I am retarded and cite my hardware specs but it i just is not as smooth or optimal at 4k. Yes I know about upscaling and the PS5 is doing this but it has less issues.
But
My point is Linux sucks for games. Steamdeck is it's own thing and my guess is consoles next generation will start winning again because they OS is tuned for the hardware and so are the APIs and frameworks.
The entire reason we have a philosophy of science and peer-review and the null hypothesis, is this. Reality doesn't conform to your beliefs. If it did, people could wish shit into existence. Wish in one hand and shit in the other. Which fills up first?
Senses are fallible, too. Setup 3 buckets of water with cold, lukewarm, and hot water. Stick your hands in the cold and the hot water. Wait 5-10 minutes. Put both hands in the lukewarm water. Your hands will *NOT* report the same temperature. These people need to learn, not be lied to.
Additionally, the title is misleading. You don't lie to people when you want to express the truth. You tell them the truth. That they reject the truth indicates they lack critical thinking skills. Teach them.
I don't think lying to the gullible is a solution. Indeed, the article supports this: "Philosopher Byron Hyde and author of the study suggests that public trust could be improved not by sugarcoating reality, but by educating people to expect imperfection and understand how science actually works."
How is that proposing lying to the people who lack mental tools? The title is straight up misleading.
Teach them. Engage with them. Some might be incapable, but that does NOT support that they should be lied to. This is terrible reporting.
They're trying to hire people that they think they can make money based on their work.
The Manhattan folks were still doing experimental stuff that might not have actually worked in the end. You might compare them to the folks working on the mini-reactor projects today.
The AI folks are getting salaries not all that far off from NFL players... and yeah, it doesn't require abusing your body, but there's still the possibility of burnout when you realize what your AI is being used for and it conflicts with your morals.
Hopefully the people who take the money invest it well, and can then spin up their own companies to do actual good things with their knowledge after they leave. (like the folks trying to do landmine detection using multi spectral imaging from drones)
What's the storage *density*? I have the impression that grid scale batteries often use (relatively) low density storage, so they take up a lot of space. Lithium batteries are relatively high density (lots of storage/volume). Dense storage is, of course, part of what makes them so dangerous when they catch fire.
Perhaps it you wanted this to last through a blackout you'd need to give up your basement, rather than just part of it as with lithium batteries.
Unnh....there must be a reason Japan was researching whether uranium could profitably extracted from sea water. I believe that it was because decent ores for uranium were becoming scarce. (I used to know whether that was the reason they gave, but I can't certainly remember any longer....I think that was it though.)
Since when does private party A doing something "unlawful" compel private party B to take some action?
Ever since the first time someone pointed a loaded gun as B's face and said "do what I say or else I'll kill you" and B did as ordered, instead of accepting their death.
I think it was sometime around 1234567 BC.
AltaVista gave me more accurate results than Google ever has, much less recently. But you did need to use reasonable logic, and "near" was an important addition.
Google was easier to use. That was their sole advantage.
The assertion is that it does more than that, that it allows to systems to be remotely disabled.
OTOH, I've read of precisely such a feature being requested by some who were fearful of AI, so it's not unbelievable (though it would clearly need more than one chip to accomplish this).
It's not really clear to me. It *could* be either way. But I *suspect* the Chinese are both being honest and grandstanding.
Usually software support ends before the device becomes unusable. I still have my mother in law's 2nd gen iPad floating around on a bookshelf somewhere but it's basically useless as no apps support the newest OS you can load on it. I've never ever paid for phone or tablet repair. If you regularly need device repair you probably should be buying cheaper plastic devices, not glued together pieces of metal and glass.
If Edge being pre-installed on Windows is somehow an anti-competitive move that prevents other browsers from catching on, then why does Edge only have a 5% market share?
As bad as 2FA over SMS is, that doesn't stop it from being widely used. I can see a lot of messages ending up there.
Apple already extracts those and offers to fill them in, so I don't think that will be an issue.
