Nah it will be divisible by 5. They don’t try very hard to hide the irregularities. There is a long history of oddly round results:

Yeah no I’m not putting an SLA on my GI tract. It will break when it wants to

I was assuming one of these things: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Detergent_tablet.jpg

I’d love to see what you do when people with a history of murders start threatening your family.

Techbros: AI will become sentient and kill us all unless its done my way.

Reality: Skip the sentience part we’re already at the death bit.

It’s worth pointing out that this is lubricant not gasoline

Ehh AI is killing us now with emissions

Do the wizards also gas their bananas? The choice of fruit here implies that wizards are bound to the limitations of modern farming and container shipping. The common prevalence of bananas in the real world boils down to a pile of technical limitations on growing and importing fruit.

1. Unlike most other common grocery store fruits they are tropical. Which means that they can be grown under normal conditions year round. It also means they need to be imported which would normally make them expensive
2. Bannanas can be picked green, shipped refrigerated, and ripened under ethylene gas (tomatoes and apples might also be in this category). This enables bannanas to be transported by ordinary container ships rather than needing to be done by air. This also enables some amount of stockpiling. This cuts costs a lot such that bannanas can be cheaper than local produce unlike most other imported produce that needs to be flown in.

I’m going to be honest this sounds like it’s making fun of all the AI bros insisting we need to “pause” to consider the dangers of “superintelligent” AI while ignoring the actual problems.

Why start grammar checking him now? He’s never been able to speak. That was his last three brain cells firing wildly into a sea of soup.

Kinda wish this was back when medical reasearchers robbed graves for cadavars cause I doubt his brain will be volentarily donated to science.

The issue is the proprietary graphics API needs to be emulated. Also OS calls.

Bikes aren’t supposed to be on the sidewalk. Wheelchairs on the other hand are. This may violate whatever the local equivalent of the Americans with Disabilities Act is and if the country in question doesn’t have laws mandating accessibility to the disabled it should.

And under no circumstances should I need to walk into traffic to avoid a truck.

The 4090 has appreciated in value in spite of the 5090 and it’s own flammability

A bit unrelated but as a long time SF resident I’m surprised the Chronicle is still alive enough that it’s doing original reporting here. I opened this fully expecting it to be an AP wire reprint and it wasn’t.

It looks like they are conflating two incidents. There was another involving a blind man and a closed dunkin donuts.

If you consider scraping a threat then yes plain HTML might as well be giving up. The advantage of new reddit for that is quite clear: they can collect a bunch of data about your browser before deciding if you are a bot and if the rest of the page should load. The embedded recaptcha call in the screenshots is a pretty good hint. I suspect blocking trackers on new reddit will break as soon as the scrapers move over.

As for why they don’t just kill old reddit: a significant chunk of their active posters use it and are attached to it. So if they kill it entirely they will lose content. Posters are of course logged in so this change is less likely to affect them.

I hate Facebook as much as anyone else but this is like comparing apples to a modern commercial airliner. One of these was only a movie. The other was a combination of several things: a research project to try and find ways to drive the cost of manufacturing consumer VR headsets down (this is a giant black hole for money), an attempt to produce said hardware, an attempt to subsidise the price enough to get people hooked, and an attempt to build a complex piece of software for the whole thing. The software in question had to run on the last several generations of quest hardware not just the most recent one. The hardware in question was some Qolcomm mobile SoCs with questionable graphics that were showing their age running on a battery. To make matters worse this was all in VR so you needed high enough looking resolution per eye at at least 90Hz. If you miss those targets the customer may start vomiting which does not sell product. Oh and you can’t easily increase your thermal or power budget by making the thing heavier because that will increase fatigue from wearing the product.

The other thing is a 2D movie rendered ahead of time so that time spent rendering each frame doesn’t matter.

The metaverse push was stupid but I don’t find it terribly surprising that trying to pull a whole industry out of your ass so you can have a monopoly on it is a bit very pricey.

If Nvidia deprecates your driver you’ll be up shits creek on just about every distro unless you already used nouveau.

Does he not realize Guantanamo is still open? I’m a little confused on how operating it is consistent with libertarianisim. Then again libertarians have brain worms

I live in California and still get randomly geoIPed to the UK. I start noticing it when imgur stops loading.
