DLSS has made devs lazy. Why bother optimizing when you can have some whiz bang AI algorithm turn a low res input into a greasy looking high res output.

if the US government were actually funded by taxes, then everything the government does would be with “my money”

if they’re still around when the financial shell game they’re playing finally comes to a stop. who am i kidding the government will bail them out.

what if we cannibalize our long-term viability for a short-term gain says every dipshit in charge of tech hardware manufacturing.

Don’t worry bro, the models are getting dumber!

That would be pretty impressive when they already lack any intelligence at all.

Voting with your wallet doesn’t work when you are the product. They don’t care about your money when google’s will dwarf any amount individuals could hope to raise, even collectively. Nothing prevents them from just taking both your money and google’s and changing absolutely nothing.

Email me the blueprints to your house, your address, name, and your favorite hobbies and I will tell you the answer.

my dude nobody is using a stolen identity to go to a bar. they’re taking out lines of credit and you don’t have to always present a physical, photo ID for those because there are entire industries of creditors that have no physical location. you don’t even seem to be aware of the reasons why someone would bother stealing someone’s identity so if you’d like to continue this argument I invite you to have it with yourself.

edit: and MAJOR lol at using a bar as your example. establishments well known for being sticklers about the quality of fake IDs you “sweet summer child”

this “you’d have to make a fake to use it!!” argument is especially ridiculous when you’ve posted on a story about submitting a picture of your photo ID in place of a physical one. and one of the pieces of info you say actually “matters” is literally written on said ID

we shouldnt have to afford a house

Lmao they source the photos from LinkedIn profiles. I’m sure that didn’t bias their training at all. Yes sir there’s no chance this thing is selecting for anything but facial features.

Edit: double lmao they’re all MBAs

Edit2: they didn’t even train the AI!! this paper is them just feeding linkedin photos into a third-party black-box API and then nodding thoughtfully at the results. i cant tell you how stupid the AI is because I can’t find any information about it or even the API mentioned in the paper.

These terms mean very specific things but because you don’t know what those things are you think I’m being vague and biased. You should probably just shut up.

How is taking direct action to stigmatize someone who is enabling our fascist military “slacktivism”? What do you propose would be a more fitting and effective tactic for someone who doesn’t want their work associated in any way to the US military?

That sounds like a pretty useless replacement for people who want a declarative configuration and a PC capable of doing anything other than contributing code to open source projects.

it wasn’t just the keyboard for me. phone browsers pre iphone were just absolute garbage with joke rendering engines. you were lucky to get a functional mobile site, let alone trying to render the desktop version. iphone was using the same rendering engine as desktop safari, which wasn’t perfect but miles better than whatever the hell blackberry or sidekick were using.

what? i absolutely wanted a cell phone with a decent web browser on it in 2007, are you high?

The best is unironically to pirate and use something like Kodi on a SBC that can run libreElec.

It’s kinda funny that just stacking rocks is an efficient energy storage solution.

Few, if any, people posting shit to that site have the rights to what they’re posting but I guess copyright doesn’t matter unless youre pirating media.

Let’s pretend that OP is trying to find things outside their current wheelhouse, or wants to sample from recommendations to try and discover what they like. Not everyone is a fixed point with immutable preferences. Some people actually prefer broad recommendations so they can expand their tastes.
