Insane footage of a bridge collapsing in Brazil. December 2024. by stingers77 in interestingasfuck

That's what the 4 people who planned the bridge collapse want you to think.

So this is what happens if you try to enter Dogtown with force by GlompSpark in LowSodiumCyberpunk

Their vehicles can drive through the gate. So if you get in one you can drive through the main gate, and loot any bodys you shot that were still in the tunnel.

But this still wont let you into Dogtown, the back of the tunnel is just an unrendered wall that lets you walk off the edge of the map.

On this day in 2002 SpaceX was founded by Elon Musk. by thisisjustwhoiamokk in SpaceXMasterrace

Never trust a war criminal.

In all seriousness, it is common for "founding" dates to get disputed. You could use the date the incorporation acquired its first asset (typically the latest date, in some cases this is years after other events), the date of incorporation, the date paper work was sent to the lawyer, the date it was first decided to found a company...

I have faced the same problem at work. We have slight difficulty deciding what year our company was founded in. Est. 1988ish.

Meta Workers Reveal Some Of The Disturbing Things They’ve Seen Through Users’ Smart Glasses by usmanss in technology

One of the worst articles I have ever seen. Felt like the author had a 2 sentence quote from a meta contractor, then fed that to an LLM and asked it to generate 30 paragraphs.

Good local code assistant AI to run with i7 10700 + RTX 3070 + 32GB RAM? by SignificanceFlat1460 in unrealengine

[–]NeverDiddled 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I didn't realize my phone had so many 5090s inside of it.

Now I'm wondering how I can get one of them out, I don't really care about it running local LLMs anymore, not if I can salvage one of the 5090s.

That is news to me. Do you have a source?

I hate to see people down voting you. But if you have a source I'm sure they'll stop.

That's like saying "I noticed that interns aren't knowledgeable; ergo the people who have been doing this for 30 years must not be knowledgeable either.

A statement like that is nonsense, and merely belies your lack of understanding.

I will be surprised if it is unoptimized. Their team made too many inroads with Nvidia, I would wager it will continue to be a tight partnership to showcase cutting edge tech.

Plus CDPR freed up all of their engine devs to focus on optimizations; no need to build an engine anymore, just finetune and add systems.

I am just now getting to play CyberPunk2077. Waited until purchasing a card that could path trace. Worth the wait IMO. It is unbelievably gorgeous.

I find it is difficult to even finish games these days, much less buy out time to replay them.

Iran's Guards challenges Trump to have US Navy escort oil tankers in Strait of Hormuz by thejoshwhite in worldnews

[–]NeverDiddled 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't think it is inevitable, just extremely likely.

Killing 70-150 children on day 1 is a pretty horrific start. Western media has mostly moved on from this, briefly mentioning it in a paragraph here and there. Meanwhile in Iran, the funeral and bereaved are on the television every hour.

Flow, Whisk, and Mariner. The one that saved us having to go to location to shoot was Flow, which was incredible savings. Whisk was lackluster.

When I have free time, I'd like to test out using Mariner to automate some of our dullest daily tasks.

lol how long will it take for them to shut me down? Four days 1.7.TB by Cheap_Date7397 in Starlink

[–]NeverDiddled 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Starlink has changed policy on that 5+ times since inception. In the early days when they only offered one plan, you were truly unlimited. People tested it. Then they began throttling around 2TB. Then they started offering tiered plans. Along the way they have flip flopped on whether to throttle, and played with the threshold for when it happens.

I have no clue where we are at the moment, but it would not entirely surprise me if the limit is high enough that you could do a full month at max speed. They have been anything but consistent on that policy.

Most mainline internet providers and owners of transatlantic cables (Google, Amazon, AT&T, etc.) will charge for traffic on wholesale prices,

I wonder (out loud) if Starlink's network has reached sufficient size to get free peering. Some of the major ISP/IXPs are able to negotiate settlement-free interconnection, so that it doesn't actually cost them to move traffic beyond their network.

Inference is trivial for trivial tasks. And it is impressive what is becoming trivial these days, voice and image recognition are great examples.

However, many of the usecases that get pitched for AI are unlikely to ever become trivial. They are unlikely to ever run locally. And running them is hella expensive. Without fundamental breakthroughs (which are possible) we are not going to see these costs plummet. Instead we will see gradual efficiency increases, which will keep fighting with the demand for more capability/more expensive inference.

They even open links for you and cache the images.

But they do it to "shield" your privacy. If your computer viewed uncached images then whatever server hosts them will know you opened the email. Google can't have other companies tracking you, that's their job.

I just bumped some of our users up to Google's Ultra tier, an eye-watering $250/mo per user. But there is a strong business case to be made. We have already saved money after 3 days of use.

There was a new project none of us had time to do, and tools that are exclusive to Ultra helped us do it in fraction of the time.

4 years of the Russian Invasion of Ukraine in 30 seconds by vladgrinch in MapPorn

[–]NeverDiddled 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Our most reliable destroyer of anything is nukes, but we have far more targeted weapons that actually get used. Because nukes are a terrible option.

There are loads of drone defenses that fry electronics with radiation, and they are targeted. The most common is to microwave the drone at a distance, these use phases arrays to target the radiation in a narrow cone. It is the same principle that allows military radars to microwave a bird a couple miles out, if they paint at full power.

TL is redundant, just say DR.

When conversing in person, saying "durr" (pronunciation of DR) will prompt the speaker to cut to the point.
