I agree that more than 1080p isn’t really necessary, but something that has blur reduction and can do at least 72Hz is a good investment, IMO. 72Hz is what it takes for me to not see flicker without taxing my GPU too hard, and blur reduction means you can even read text when it’s moving across the screen instead of turning into a smear. Got a decent BenQ several years ago, and I haven’t regretted it once.
How many times has he said this, or something like it, now? Which immediately results in a temporary drop in oil prices? How blatantly obvious is it that he’s performing market manipulation for himself and his cronies? And the stock market keeps falling for it. You’d think they’d have wised up by now.
It can be argued that you are not benefiting from the magic property in this instance, but instead suffering from it - in which case, it is valid for it to explode when run over.
If you try to use it as a bomb without attuning it, then it will fail.
So far as I’m aware, security is primarily to keep bad things from getting into the airport, not out.
Your 30s are a lot like your 20s, except you get to find out which knee will be your bad knee later on.
In your 40s, you can pretty much do anything you could do in your 20s and 30s.
Once.
Yep. It’s called the standard deduction. If you make less than that, you pay zero income tax.
I might be interested if they hadn’t ditched the open platform aspect of their phones. Now they’re hardly any different from any of the other brands.
Except the major AI players are drastically increasing their prices…
AI has some interesting and fun applications.
The problem is capitalism.
Except LLMs are the worst of both worlds in that respect. In order to work in a robot factory, its output needs to be reliable and repeatable, ideally across as wide a range of inputs as possible. LLMs … are very much not that. They’re also only as ‘skilled’ as their training data, which thanks to the morally bankrupt scraping of every source the AI companies can get their grubby hands on, is of enormously variable quality - and because of the nature of LLMs, it will never be better than its training data. The average quality of its output will, in fact, be the average of its training data.
It’s possible for LLMs to be creative - in the sense that it can output novel sentences - except that as you increase its ‘creativity’ (temperature) beyond the default that most of the chatbots out there have, the quality plummets. It still can’t solve complex problems though, because even if it does have an internal model of how certain things function, it can’t come close to the complexity of what humans can hold in their brains - or perhaps cannot abstract portions of their model in the same way - as evidenced by their utter failure to work through any problem that has more than five or so layers. This is a problem that sees diminishing returns with increased parameter count - the primary metric that is driving the enormous data centers being built.
LLMs are a solution looking for a problem, and aside from ‘bs for people who don’t want to make any decisions in their day-to-day life’ and ‘scam generator’, there doesn’t seem to be very many niches that they are actually good at filling.
It’s becoming increasingly apparent to me that Pascal’s Wager makes more sense in the opposite direction.
Let’s say that there’s a chance that there is no God, and your actions alone impact how future generations live.
With how Christians are currently behaving, their actions will result in untold misery for decades to come as countries succumb to fascism and the environment collapses.
The United States federal government has said loud and clear that not only are foreign visitors not wanted, they are risking their freedom by setting foot on American soil. I don’t see how anyone would be interested in visiting under those conditions who doesn’t have family or the like in the States.
“I’m telling everybody in Canada, please come. We love you, we need you, and we miss you,”
That’s not what we’re seeing from the White House, lady.
I mean
part of this is probably that no one can afford a new car at all
And to put a finer point on it, the United States only ever considered Cuba either a threat or a resource rather than an ally.
Yeppppp. I personally know three people who moved out of Texas specifically to get away from their abhorrent legislation.
‘Zionist’ is separate from ‘any religious fundamentalist’. Creative interpretation supports your statement. :)
You kid, but the reason we can regrow teeth like this is that we actually have the cells for a third row of teeth. Once these ones are gone, though, you don’t have any more back-ups.
I’d say maybe it’s a grasshopper mouse, but if that were the case, those bugs would be eaten by now.
Of course it’s not unusual to have something presented as knowledge that is false. That’s just lying.
The distinction here is that the conclusion is true, but it is based off of inaccurate information. The conclusion that advertisements are trying to steer you towards is false.
I should mention that without blur reduction, you won’t see flicker - but you will see blur!
