AI might be overkill? I recall back in the day people working out which images where manipulated by the way the underlying flow of colour and pixel layout didn’t line up, each image ends up with a kind of grain of different size and direction. You could spot ads by detecting which image data doesn’t line up with the majority and cutting it out that way.

I’ve been wondering about that, also perhaps a browser where your mouse position has seperate client and software side states? I know a lot of data can be gleaned from mouse movements so if the browser only updated its internal cursor position when you actually clicked that would potentially cut out that source of information?

Honestly no but if I lived in a country or bloc without nukes myself I’d want my government to get them because its the only way to not get randomly regime changed whenever the US, UK or Russia feels like it. Totally understandable why they would want them.

The Iranian regime is fucking awful, the Israeli one is just even more awful such that Iran still seem like the good guys in comparison. Its like two assholes fighting, they’re both assholes but one clearly started it.

Chance as in gambling, so often you don’t even get what you pay for even with ‘reputable’ brands. This is particularly bad with appliances.

These days its increasingly ‘capitalism is when you pay money for the chance to have a thing’

Rain? I know its not going to fall over and shoot out sparks like a cartoon but rain does mess with visibility and grip, plus this is a robot with a lot of joints and moving parts that’s probably going to be maintained by someone who has to pee in a bottle so the cartoon falling over and shooting sparks isn’t actually out of the question.

Is it though? Its always far easier to be loud and obnoxious than do something constructive, even with the internet and LLMs, in fact those things are amplifiers which if anything make the attention imbalance even more drastic and unrepresentative of actual human behaviour. In the time it takes me to write this comment some troll can write a dozen hateful ones, or a bot can write a thousand. Doesn’t mean humans are shitty in a 1000/1 ratio, just means shitty people can now be a thousand times louder.

I remember reading that the drones were meant to be autonamous? (I refuse to look up how to spell that word and simply accept my incorrectness) so those pauses and such might just be whatever image recognitions is intended to identify the shape of an aircraft freaking out a bit. Would also explain sequential launches as it would stop them all dogpiling one plan and being wasted.

No need to bother, reddit is already full of entire threads of GPT posts, the megacorps are killing their own product for us.

We made everything super expensive and created a toxic work culture that weighs on your every waking moment while cutting salaries so that both people in a relationship need to work full time… why is no one having kids?

Bit of warframe, a lot of deeprock and some stellaris when I have that much free time.

I love mint on my old laptop (which I’m using right now) I just wish it was more compatable with newer hardware as neither it nor ubuntu work properly on my new desktop build so I’m stuck on ghost spectre instead.

Plus government computers are always old as shit so Linux should install nice and easy, give em mint for that windows like UI.

iirc the issue with Hydrogen is that it has very high energy/mass but incredibly low density to the point that the fuel tank to contain a reasonable amount of hydrogen (say comparable to hydrocarbons) is even more prohibitive than battery weight.

This is going to have the secondary effect of exploding rats but times a thousand.

During WWII the brits planted dead rats filled with explosives around german facilities, as it was common practice to simply throw dead rats into the boiler fireboxes, where these rats in questions would explode and hopefully deal damage to important equipment. Almost no real damage was done but simply finding the rats was enough to make the Germans so paranoid that the extra caution and paranoia did more damage than the rats ever would have if they had gone undiscovered (and thrown into boilers as planned)

With the warheads its not an engineering issue, the fissile material simply stops being viable after a while and you can’t engineer around that, so the question is less about quality and more about if anyone ever replaced that stuff, or if it was replaced if that fissile material was of high enough quality and not say, a block of wood and a new yacht.

Iirc there are mathematical reason why AI can’t actually become exponentially more intelligent? There are hard limits on how much work (in the sense of information processing) can be done by a given piece of hardware and we’re already pretty close to that theoretical limit. For an AI to go singulaity we would have to build it with enough initial intelligence that it could aquire both the resources and information with which to improve itself and start the exponential cycle.

TLDR: UE5 can be optimized but Unreal also turned it into a bit of a tech demo which can be counter productive at times.

I tried Linux on my current build with a 9070XT and ended up on windows instead (still got linux on my laptop) Based on what I’ve been told you’re generally going to have issues with very new hardware unless you either get very lucky or go through a ton of troubleshooting. So Linux might work in a couple of months but for now it could be a headache.
