I’ve just been watching older movies, there’s this amazing sweet spot when CGI just became a thing where the visual effects are passable but not so prevelant that the entire plot gets replaced with pointless explosions.

Meta is the only VR space for anyone not able/willing to spend as much on a VR headset as a mid range desktop (especially when that VR headset might not even function without the addition of a mid range desktop), and for people who want VR and a vague semblence of privacy there isn’t really any affordable headset at all.
British primary schools used to have something called ‘problem solving’ it was usually a simple maths problem described in words that required some degree of critical thinking to solve. e.g. A frog is at the bottom of a 30m well, it climbs 7m each day but in the night it slides 3m back down in its sleep. You can’t just calculate 30/(7-3) because it doesn’t account for the day the frog gets over the top and thus doesn’t slide back down in its sleep.
Not the most complex problem but pretty good for kids under 10 to start getting the basics.

The way I see it when it comes to physical ads I see them, I walk past, they’re gone. Online targeted advertising is more like if there were a bunch of flying TV screens outside that constantly follow you around and try to take up 90% of your vision while you’re trying to cross the road, and some stores become impossible to enter without an ad-blocker because the doorway is literally jammed with flying TVs.
I can never get past the geoguesser part
I bet those kids can’t wait to learn about how issac newton invented the colour yellow when seeing an apple fall from a lemon tree hitting a cow and thus causing him to invent gravity which trapped photons from venus allowing humans to finally have the technology to grow pineapples in canada.
Hasn’t the US also repeatedly allegedly accidentally hit targets with white phosphorus that was intended just as a marking flair?
I really hope this doesn’t catch on, Games are already horifically inefficient, imagine if we started making them like this and a 4090 becomes the minnimum system requirement for goddamn DOOM.
From what I understand (I don’t play but my brother does) Starcraft 2 multiplayer was balanced almost entierly around the pro scene.
I always find text in dreams perfectly legible though it often changes if I try to read the same bit twice.
Nah we want Intel to live so that AMD still has real competition, same reason I’m in favour of Intel getting into the GPU market.
Tor was always comrpomised, the point has never been to be uncrackable, the point is that tracking down an induvidual user is enough effort that it can’t just be done on mass like with normal internet traffic. If you draw direct attention to yourself then it isn’t going to save you.
with shockingly high accuracy, and thus aim products at you.
I’m still waiting for a single targeted add to be something I want, the best they’ve done so far is try and sell me things I already own.
There is a normal integer between 4 and 5 but sapient beings are completely incapable of percieving it.
Step 1: Repeat popular comments for a few months to make the account look vaguely like a real person and thus more credible.
Step 2: Switch bot to spewing propaganda.
There’s a japanese company working on a kidney rejuvination drug for cats that’s meant to come out next year (potential 10 year increase in average lifespan) so we’ll almost certainly have that in 10 years which will be nice.
While I think our current brute force method attempt at AI is already hitting the limits of how ‘smart’ it can be I suspect over the next few years we’ll develop far lighter models until your phone having a simulated personality is just a standard (hopefully optional) feature. They’ll probably also have an online feature to cross reference their own answers with wikipedia or something.
Deaslination is likely to get significantly better by sheer neccesity.
I like to think we’ll have higher frequency rectennas though probably not optical frequency ones.
Agreed, though I wish youtubes algorithm was able to take into account video release date. Sometimes most of the science youtubers happen to be on a break and I end up watching a higher proportion of gaming content which then further kills the science content in my feed until I manually search it out again.
The current GPU situation actually has me curious about AMDs upcoming Halo APU chips. They’re likely going to be pretty expensive relative to their potential GPU equivelent performance but if they work out similar to the combined price of a CPU and GPU then it might be worthwhile as they use onboard RAM as their VRAM. Probably a crazy idea but one I look forward to theory-building in spring when they release.
I still have my 3700X and it keeps up well enough with a 4070 even on cyberpunk.
