DLSS and XeSS (XMX) are AI and they’re noticably better than non-hardware accelerated alternatives.

Whether a 7-year-old sees adult content accidentally, intentionally, because of peer pressure or any other reason, I still think age appropriate sex ed would be helpful. I acknowledge that minors do view inappropriate content and that it is generally unhealthy, but since it can happen, and does happen, a good approach would be to educate them preemptively.

For example, these guildelines for sex ed in EU, which caused some outrage in conservative circles a few years back, suggest that “sex in media and dealing with it” is a topic for 6 to 9-year-olds.

Of course you can’t cover every outlier, but can you really stop 5th graders from sending weird shit to their friends because they’re trying to be edgy?

Edit:

Another way to think about it:

• Was the content accessed accidentally? If so, I would argue this law misses the point and better moderation would be more effective and also less, y’know, surveillance state adjacent
• Was the content accessed intentionally? In this case, sex ed would probably help

“When we evaluate how minors interact with the internet, for 90% of them it is their first way of getting to know about sexuality. From there, 50% of them recognise that they generate imitation and even with approaches that have domination as a central element. There is an enormous distortion in the way they are going to develop their sexuality”, she stressed. [via DeepL, emphasis mine]

Hmmmmm, if only there was a way to educate minors about sexuality before they ultimately turn to internet because adults just ignore the problem.

Edit:

Incibe is also collaborating, which is checking that browsers “control access based on URLs” to prevent access to minors. Cabanillas said that “a black list” of browsers that do not do so will be created.

It’s a miracle politicians aren’t targeted by scammers more frequently, given they have no idea how internet works.

Fidesz is nonaligned as well, judging by the polls it’ll be about 9 or 10 seats for them.

Until now I was under the impression that this was the goal of these notices:

If you remix, transform, or build upon the material, you must distribute your contributions under the same license as the original.

Because if an LLM ingests a comment with a copyright notice like that, there’s a chance it will start appending copyright notices to it’s own responses, which could technically, legally, maybe make the AI model CC BY-NC-SA 4.0? A way to “poison” the dataset, so that OpenAI is obliged to distribute it’s model under that license. Obviously there’s no chance of that working, but it draws attention to AI companies breaking copyright law.

(also, I have no clue about copyrights)

So if it turned out Saudi Arabia and UAE were using slave labor during oil extraction, we’d ban oil imports from there, right?

They aren’t using paste any more. Since 11th gen Intel’s desktop CPUs are soldered, if I remember correctly they use some kind of indium alloy, and so does AMD.

Edit: All desktop CPUs since 11th gen and some 9th and 10th gen according to Intel

Isn’t this specifically about sand for construction which needs to be coarse enough? For glass packaging you melt that stuff anyway, SiO₂ is SiO₂. Also I imagine the amount of sand needed for glass bottles would be way smaller than what construction industry uses, even less so if you recycle.

Turns out the death of MSAA was actually quite founded! Here’s a great Digital Foundry video on anti-aliasing piped link | youtube

tl;dw MSAA only affects geometry, so while it worked fine for older titles, it can’t handle textures, normal maps, shading etc.

To me the issue lies with the person who steps into a teleporter and stops existing, not the one that walks out on the other side. If anything, if the cloned person retained their memory it would probably make them feel better about this whole thing.

As for the original person, they would lose consciousness as their bodies are being disassembled… and then what exactly? It feels like there’s a missing step between Person A losing consciousness and Person A’ waking up.

Though I guess you experience something similar every time you fall asleep, and personally it doesn’t feel much like dying.

Yes, and in neither case would you experience your consciousness being moved to a new body (which is what the commenter above seems to suggest). Your current “you” would be annihilated or just continue to exist in your old body.

Alright, but now instead of disintegrating and reconstructing, consider if a similar machine just duplicated your body atom for atom. Is that “you”, or a clone?

Points 1, 2, 3 and 5 are included in the Youtube Vanced app. If you’re using Apple devices that won’t really help you though.

Could also be that they have a spin of ½ so you need to rotate them by 720° to get back to their original orientation.

I’d say that’s only half the problem. While ease of disassembly is a factor I’d personally consider when buying a phone, I feel like the more difficult part is finding a good quality battery replacement. For the most popular phones (Galaxy S series, iPhones, and a few others) you can probably find a battery at a reputable site like iFixit, otherwise you’re stuck with ordering something that supposedly matches the part number on Amazon or some sketchy Chinese site. Is it a new part or a refurbished OEM battery? Is it anywhere close to advertised capacity? Will it work any better than the used battery you’re replacing?
