I’d rather the war go on until Russia runs out of their remaining money, and then collapses again like in 91.

My point is that regardless of whether investigators say “this ship tore cables intentionally” or “oops, they screwed up”, penalties need to apply so that:

A) Insurance rates reflect these risks

B) Operators are incentivized to care about not damaging undersea cables

C) Intentional damage will be more obvious, because shipping companies won’t want to risk getting dropped from their insurance for repeat expensive cable cut offenses. (This kind of insurance is mandatory for major shipping ports to allow those ships to dock.) Bad actors will have to use other means to destroy these cables that cannot be easily blamed on negligence.

Intentional or not is irrelevant. Damaging critical national infrastructure through negligence should still be considered a criminal act with mandatory prison time for the negligent captain and navigator(s), and a heavy fine assessed against the shipping company.

What kinds of repercussions do these cases have right now?

The idea is to have water or molten salt cool the walls of the torus from outside, and those drive ordinary turbines like any other generator. The main issue is that particles fly out of the confined plasma donut and degrade the walls, whose dust flys into the plasma and reduces the fusion efficiency. They’re focusing on the hard part - dealing with the health of plasma sustainment and the durability of the confinement walls over time. Hot thing that stays hot can boil water or salt to drive regular turbines, that’s not the main engineering challenge. I get your frustration where it feels from news coverage that they’re not focusing on the right stuff, but what you’ll likely eventually see is that the time between “we figured out how to durably confine a healthy plasma” will quickly turn into “we have a huge energy output” much like inventors puttered around with flight for hundreds of years until a sustained powered flight design, however crappy, finally worked. From that point, it was only 15 years until the first transatlantic flight.

Epic kinda tried that by giving away tons of free games in the Epic Games Store. It didn’t work.

If I want Steam games cheaper, I go buy a Steam key for that game from a separate retailer and activate it on Steam. Save like 50-70% irrespective of Steam sales. It’s remarkable that Steam allows us to even do that in the first place.

Uhh…its not peace talks if one of the warring sides is not present. It’s just the US talking to Russia about some deal to stop supporting Ukraine.

Lol have you not used o1/o3? They show the inner monologue too. Fun little pretend detail to keep you entertained while the model takes 30 seconds to respond.

Uh…yes it’s about the same, maybe slightly dumber than o3. Which is already mediocre.

I see Tiktok in the news, never downloaded it. Does that make me special?

I don’t get it. Why would DeepSeek supposedly get more downloads from the app store? It’s not like it’s any more interesting to consumers than other LLM apps. It was just notable for purportedly being cheaper to train. Something seems fishy.

Americans and their silly performative outrage

This won’t work against commercial crawlers. They check page contents with something similar to a simhash and don’t recrawl these pages. They also have limiters like for depth to avoid getting stuck in circular links.

You could generate random content for each new page, but you’ll still eventually hit the depth limit. There are probably other rules related to content quality to limit crawling too.

Vine was better

When I went team red for the first time earlier this year, I really scrutinized zoomed in screenshots to compare the upscaling for FSR and DLSS. With FSR 3, I couldn’t see any difference compared to DLSS. Older FSR versions yeah, but at least for me not a problem any more.

I think the size may have more to do with the team not splitting up the Unreal build paks. Haven’t checked how well it’s actually split up, but I can say that changing even one small thing could result in a giant update if that build has like one pak file with all the things in it. There are ways to configure it in the build but it’s not a magic toggle either. Worked with a studio handing off UE builds before that didn’t build the game in a split friendly way and it made every upload to S3 take forever cause there were only like two really giant paks.

Also makes me wonder, does Steam not do diff patch style updates for changes within individual files? If not, that could save a ton of bandwidth.

Idk, seems he’s salty about losing so much money because he acted creepy and unprofessional towards women. Could go either way, curious how this plays out.

To anyone who didn’t read past the headline: he said he needed more sleep. He was testing it obsessively.

Oh yeah, I read about that! Not really ML, but pretty much what I’d like more games to have.

Oh that’s really interesting; I hadn’t considered racing games as a genre to benefit from this type of machine learning. I guess I figured there’s not so much to AI there that it’s necessary, at least when we already know the “ideal lap line” for cars to follow, but yeah it gets a lot harder when considering other drivers on the track and a huge array of unique car models with their own handling and performance characteristics.

I wouldn’t mind an AI using unorthodox strategies, but yeah that’s a good point that fine tuning it to be fun is a big challenge. Speaking of “non-player-like behavior”, I wonder if AI could be used to find multiplayer exploits sooner, though the problem there is you don’t really have much training data besides QA and playtesters before a full release.
