Time + gravity + chemistry + physics = hot stirring clumpy rock stew
As the stew goes from hot to warm over millions of years things settle into some interesting patterns. The highest concentrations of known gold geological formations happen to be on the oldest pieces of the earth’s crust btw.
The USA has by far the largest prison population in absolute terms and per capita. You have no idea what you are saying.
c’mon, it’s right there
United Federation of Planets
Fediverse of Lemmy Instances
A physics based surfing game that has procedural coastline generation using seeds. The wave fluid physics interacts with the different coasts to create different surfing conditions along with some swell randomization parameters. SimSurfer.
I’d imagine this is something the HW has to support, and the software has to implement a solution via that HW support. I’m really excited to see SteamOS coming up as the next mobile linux platform. With the support from Valve, I’d consider a steam deck or similar over other tablet options.
This sounds very similar to what US mayors and governors do with the unhoused or the undocumented they don’t want to deal with. There’s been various cases documented in recent years.
Pretend we are playing a game within a magic circle that separates us from all the normal rules you have been taught.
Are the LLMs a testing ground for groomers? This is pretty disturbing to contemplate.
If you have existing debts locked in at lower rates, high rates/inflation can be potentially beneficial. Your debts devalue faster (and hopefully your income also inflates too).
If you want to get into new debts, this is very bad. When you consider structural wealth inequality, this is a slippery-slope that favors the big players, just like always under capitalism.
The problem here is that there will always be some uncertainty about how quickly he can acquire nuclear weapons. But we don’t want the smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud.

This was said by the National Security Advisor of the USA, the only country in the world that used nuclear weapons … on civilian cities … twice … for no militarily objective reason.
Watching that shit unfold really got me into politics. Being disillusioned with Obama’s 8 years got me into real political economic theory though.
Why does piracy need a business model? Sci-hub etc already exists.
Capitalism is an economic system based on the private ownership of the means of production and their operation for profit.

You deserve condescension for your willful ignorance and lack of humility. That’s just how the world works.
This seems more like just a reality of LCD / LED display tech than anything. CRTs (remember those?) can do a lot of resolutions pretty well no problem, but new stuff not so much. I remember using a lower rez on early LCDs as a ‘free AA’ effect before AA got better/cheaper. This just seems like a response to folks getting ~4k or similar high rez displays and gfx card performance unable to keep up.
I was just playing around with gamescope that allows for this kind of scaling stuff (linux with AMD gfx). Seems kinda cool, but not exactly a killer feature type thing. It’s very similar to the reprojection algos used for VR.
Then who makes the coprocessor that is inserted into the die?
Looking into more details of the boot process, it seems like the UEFI manufacturers such as AMI or Phoenix might be the best place to insert a pre-OS boot back door. The PSP (CCP) is just what is used to bootstrap before this step in the process.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMD_Platform_Security_Processor
The PSP itself represents an ARM core (ARM Cortex A5[6][circular reference]) with the TrustZone extension which is inserted into the main CPU die as a coprocessor. The PSP contains on-chip firmware which is responsible for verifying the SPI ROM and loading off-chip firmware from it.
Critics worry it can be used as a backdoor and is a security concern.[3][4][5] AMD has denied requests to open source the code that runs on the PSP.
The PSP also provides a random number generator for the RDRAND instruction[10] and provides TPM services.
The Cavium stuff mentioning RNGs being compromised reminded me about this recent headline about fTPM RNG being wonky on some AMD motherboards.

Probably not related, right? I wonder who the fTPM manufacture is for these boards.
The researchers stress it would be unethical, illegal and actually impossible to achieve a pregnancy using these embryo models - assembling the 120 cells together goes beyond the point an embryo could successfully implant into the lining of the womb.
mostly just folks very resistant to learn some quite simple things due to their overly propagandized worldview
I’m talking about people that have trouble with basic understandings of political economy like:
leftism : anti-capitalist :: liberal : anti-communist
I can only imagine the shock they are experiencing
we’re mostly pretty chill if people can be chill with each other, unfortunately some folks are just uncomfortable with understanding the complexity of the world I guess
