You're actually right, I misread the first post. Speaking of unutilized talents, other than Hollywood, I'd also add a whole bunch of folks in tech who could be useful for defending their own homeland (hence, their own & their

“Whatever you now find weird, ugly, uncomfortable and nasty about a new medium will surely become its signature. CD distortion, the jitteriness of digital video, the crap sound of 8-bit - all of these will be cherished and emulated as soon

the works of fiction should inflame the imagination through originality and the workings on the reader's inner sense. it is the exact realm where I don't want AI to be present. the article itself is only an analysis of an already

The translation is correct, but it says “[a] protest against the war”. If you want to imply a call to protest, it should be “протестуйте против войны».

I'd hoped there was a system in place where Google only locks down the account until the user turns 14 (with the birth date info kept), but... they just locked them down? Man.

Did not read past the first bold paragraph. 'Nihilo' means "out of nothing, nothing is produced"; why does the author think that nihilism needs to have a famous proponent? A linguistic quibble far off the mark. UPD: I tr

This is actually hilarious. The fact that _you_ are putting “smarter” in quotes, proving my point, means that you’re losing the argument - and, furthermore, viewing a random exchange on the internet in terms of ‘winning’ and ‘losing’ instea

That's actually kind of insane. Seamless transfer would take quite a high priority on the scale of things to implement, one would (and will) imagine. Transferring from and iPhone to an iPhone is so well-done that it actually adds to th

If it's a company as big as Facebook, I think those charges are drops in the ocean of their entire revenue, so you waste more of your time and nerves on doing that than the money they lose.

As someone working in the game industry and had to deal with the MS and Sony, I’ve experienced myself how strict they can be when it comes to QA, especially in things related to stability and performance. For a less hyped-up project, a sing

That “horse” is what anyone who is familiar with CDPR games would expect. Also, I hope you’re being sarcastic (seeing the silly takes from some critics about how Cyberpunk is not the “future of gaming” they were expecting, I’m not sure anym
