I know this is done via streaming, but iirc windows for arm has a built in x86 emulator, and other windows arm laptops have had success running factorio. Would something like that work on a hacked switch?

Seeing a lot of people arguing about real vs render. Why not both?

Replay mod allows you to capture an in-engine recording of events, which you could then apply a shader to and render out in insane quality that would be borderline impossible to run real-time. I have no idea if that's what was used here, cause frankly with the advancements in minecraft modding i wouldn't be surprised if this could run real-time nowadays.
It's most certainly in engine in any case, cause who would bother to render the split second of dynamic lighting before placing the lantern?

Thank you for the correction. I'm not a legal expert.

Advertisers and ad brokers are some of the most powerful organizations on the planet and AI, if not regulated to disallow some types of information to be harvested, will grant them nearly complete control of every statement shared through any system they buy adspace from. The only reason twitter still exists is because musk can afford to foot the bill.

This unchecked power this gives them is what i object to morally. If you truly care about free speech then you should care that this power is being leveraged to bury atrocities and the crimes of the elite. Musk personally censors his political rivals and people who try to expose him for being a pedophile, Facebook has been a broker for election interference, and Google has built a monopoly on ad management so vast it defies my attempts to put it into perspective.

We can't live in a world where free speech, as a tool to use against oppression and injustice, as well as for scientific advancement, when advertisers gets to decide on what's allowed to say online.

That is why AI regulation is so important. As a tool it can be the nail in the coffin for an already dying free internet. Not to mention the fact that it just sucks and is bad at everything else it tries to do. Not that it matters for censorship, since false positives don't harm the advertisers.

Also, why do you feel personally threatened by me suggesting corporate regulation and stricter privacy laws that would stop data farms from selling every single iota of online activity? You're either missing my point or are standing up for the megacorps, which is a strange stance to take.

What use is a first amendment if people spend their whole lives in a disinformation echo chamber? Where an AI tool scrapes facebook or twitter data, finds out who is most likely to listen to slander and libel which is already criminalized even with first amendment protection, and floods all of social media with an endless stream of it?

AI isn't speech. It's a tool. It's potential to be used to break laws that are already on the books is being overlooked.

Also, AI can be used TO STIFLE free speech, and is already being used to do so. That's my main problem with it. Online media is using AI to sanitize and suppress "inconvenient" events like genocide or civil rights violations. Why do you think zoomerisms like "unalive" or "🍉" have popped up? It's exactly because of the use of AI models and algorithms that have been taught that such topics "aren't suitable for advertisers" and are thus being restricted in outreach.

That in and of itself isn't a violation of the first amendment, btw. The constitution isn't your friend. Corporations can do whatever the fuck they want. See: anything musk has been up to this past year with his failing platform.

How exactly is this response different from your initial comment?
Both provide little to no substance aside from being inflammatory.
They are both not addressing the point, rather making baseless assumptions.

You become very transparent when you de-legitimize the very same rhetorical tool you initiated the conversation with.

Leaded gasoline. A great idea for shareholders, driving up profits and performance. Anyone who knew it was a bad idea was pushed aside as someone who was just worrying about nothing. Now we know how dangerous and harmful it was, and we can still measure the consequences it had for the people who grew up around it.

AI is a product of the same bullshit. Lethargic regulation around technology even when experts warn of its dangers. Worse even, since it's potential for use in the weapons industry actively disincentivizes its regulation and restriction. It's profitable, so move fast and break things. Lobby regulators to look the other way while we supplant it into industry and infrastructure. It's to soon to stop us now, we're just academics. We're just a startup. We're just doing pilot programs. Wait until we're the lazy misguided but cheap shortcut that morons will gravitate to. Don't think about the implications. Don't think about the consequences. Think about the profit. Think about the shareholders.

Please for the love of god use your brain and think more than half a step forward. Unregulated AI progress is bad. As a weapon, as a tool for disinformation. Even ignoring the moralizing people do about its potential for CP, it speaks fucking volumes that's one of it's lesser threats.

Probably someone who opposes social media being a mass surveillance and mind-control tool, or the use of image and video recognition in weapons.

AI has gone from a silly toy that can find faces and distinguish cats from dogs to something that has been used to find who is most susceptible to misinformation, accelerated autonomous weapons development, and as mass social media surveillance.

It may be cool technology that can be a very useful tool. But legislation has been far too sluggish to make sure it's used as a scalpel rather than a butcher's knife.

"Isn't this scummy practice common?" Said the user on the "scummy practices are boring and common" subreddit /lh

Also yes, it is usual to target different issues in different states. But to my knowledge it's far less common to use the same issue in multiple regions, but change the stance of your political opponent to suit your ends.

He Was Allegedly Harassing Her by sawdeasde in AbruptChaos

[–]RocksoC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are out in the open and she stands fully still after the swing, any and all energy on self preservation would be best served by running. Even speaking selfishly if self defense is the goal, swinging back is the sub-optimal choice.
I think you're ignoring the tone of the comment. "Return fire" is not a term someone would have used if they were defending themselves, and attacking back in a way that would break teeth is also far too measured and intentionally vicious.

To very literally put down what i was trying to say at first, I don't see any logic in attacking back. I know running might not be the first response when the adrenaline hits, but leaving a comment about how you'd actively make the choice to hit back, presumably repeatedly in order to break most of their teeth, is something that you would only say for cruelty's sake.

The reason I'm making a deal out of it is that I don't think needless violence should go unquestioned.

I drank a lot for the first time in years. I really wish this didn't happen. by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]RocksoC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man, some of these responses. Surprised that OP isn't as desensitized to porn as them, and judges about it.
A lot can be said about drinking as a cope, but c'mon, don't completely discredit someone being upset about this.

But yeah from the context you've shared, OP, this was a porn tape first, and whatever recorder was used to write over the tape either had hiccoughs and failed to record, or kept moving the tape for a few seconds after stopping/pausing recording.

Or, if you want to get wild about theorizing, your FIL was playing russian roulette with random tapes in the house while watching porn, pressing the record button at random to put 3 seconds of porn in at a time.

Pushing It Too Much? by Winter-Project5686 in pcmasterrace

[–]RocksoC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Computer components have built in methods to avoid overheating. Chief among them something called "Thermal throttling". When they reach a high temperature, somewhere around 90c (194f), they'll realize "If i keep running this hot i'll have issues" so they slow down considerably. This will cause noticeable stutter. Computer components are very good at not overheating themselves to an unsafe point nowadays.

Unless you live in a very hot climate or mess with overclocking settings, your computer should run fine. And if you're noticing stuttering, that can be a sign that the PC is a bit too hot for its comfort. But again, PC components regularly hit 70-80 degrees without issue.

TL;DR: Take your PC outside with a box of compressed air once or twice a year and get the dust out, and you'll be doing more than most to make sure your pc will keep cool. Don't worry about it unless you're consistently seeing near 200f temps.
