There really is a lot of processing between the signal and final display. It's pretty common for TVs to ship and then get a firmware update that does actually affect core display functionality. I'd rather they just shipped finishe

People don't think the invasion of their privacy will 1. save lives, and 2. not take lives. Faith in governments is not only low, people are pretty sure any power governments have will be abused. The equation is a little bigger tha

I still think we don't have good UI for picking start and end times. Anything that doesn't implement clicking and dragging to set events is missing the best way (In my opinion). Google does it, I wish they went further. The calend

I already use GCP and Google for work, and getting an API key was so annoying that even I couldn't be bothered after a while of looking around. Maybe things there have improved some, but when I was looking it was a huge runaround.

This is very cool. I can't comment on the encryption, but I did want to mention that your page design is pretty bad, which is a shame for something so useful. It looks AI generated, you can probably paste this into your LLM of choice t

Yeah, /your/ nation maybe. I wonder if there's any other reasons that could explain this, especially given the pretty uniform distribution of video games, and the extremely uneven distribution of violence. Oh, and everywhere

This isn't necessarily true, especially with consumer GPUs. Some actually can clock higher with less voltage. It's pretty rare, and mostly comes from factory overclocked cards. For it to help you need a card that 1. Thermal thrott

No one at high levels is capitalist, in ideology or action. An ideological capitalist would be in favor of competition, but these people disdain it and collude regularly. The only 'capitalist' actions they take are by accident, th

No no, you see, for a government 'leading in AI' is just spending the most money on it.

As far as I can tell, people are getting blitzed. People I know are incredibly deep in their personalized bubble and genuinely aren't even hearing about it. It's genuinely distressing. In general and for the future of democracy.

I agree with your point that attempts at cheating are inevitable, the rest is confusing though: We have a long and storied history of coming up with extremely disturbing capitol punishments performed in public, and yet those punishments coe

Might be useful to ask a different question: What makes people happy? It's things like relationships, satisfying work, accomplishment. (and many, many more) Then the real question emerges: How many of those happiness 'sources&#x27

The only well-reviewed DisplayPort KVMs I'm aware of are from Level1Techs: https://www.store.level1techs.com/products/kvm Not cheap though. And also not 100% caveat-free.

Yeah that's true. I was thinking more long term though, deserts see much faster yearly degradation than places with more normal temps. (up to 2-3% compared to the standard 0.5-0.8%) That's just an economic factor rather than a blo

The solar panels would overheat (and lose efficiency), since ~80% of the solar energy hitting it is absorbed as (mostly) heat. Generating solar energy in deserts is often done with a mirror based heating system for this reason.

Backing this one up with my own experience of ADD (I was never hyperactive): I've tried all the distraction reducing techniques, and the distraction reducing techniques have been tried on me. In school, I was, at least 70 percent of th

Definitely not ruling it out, it's not 0% for sure. Though as a Canadian I don't think we got it as bad here, so I wouldn't say I really have any idea how big a factor it is. Especially in the USA.

Interesting framing, I've seen a similar 'If it's a meal, then where's the meat?' attitude from my own family, I've had some thoughts on where it came from, but I think part of it was escaping poverty in my gra

I mean Costco kept theirs, and in a lot of cases federal grant money is now contingent on removing it, so this seems like a hasty conclusion. That being said I'm sure a lot of companies just threw up a statement, maybe a meaningless co

I wonder which way the causal arrow goes? I'm confident more complex (and also excellent) music is being made now than ever before so it wouldn't be a supply problem. Could be a demand problem, or a transit problem, maybe. It woul

I thought so too, tried putting a max width on the body and centering it. Ended up looking substantially better to my eye.

I wonder how much this generalizes to other sugar alcohols, I've got some erythritol in the cupboard...

Also you can mix a tiny bit of xanthan gum in on your initial stir and then it stays mixed. I've never noticed a textural difference.

True, but the causal link is hard to demonstrate. There's also a drop in friends, especially close friends. In-person social activity is down across the board. Not that porn definitely isn't a factor, but I'm pretty certain t

It doesn't really need to be them doing the studying, making the code viewable allows end-users to choose who to trust or to get second opinions, instead of only having the word of the company producing the software. One or multiple pe

I think it it's a reference to the media landscape, Facebook and OpenAI inclusive.

I know what you mean, it starts to feel like software, instead of a game if that makes sense.

I mean to call her ineffective we'd need to know how hard the task is. Given the FTC has been a regular target of budget gutting and having hostile chairs appointed for decades, we don't have that information.

Tricky, since even if we assume the IQ test is producing a relevant metric there's significant run-to-run variation in test results. A lot of people would get retired prematurely if they happen to roll those dice low.
