I feel like discrete GPUs could be so much faster at these kind of cross compute tasks through ReBAR/SAM if not for all the proprietary crap and half baked drivers. Unified is a view into that perfect world of what could be if we stopped with the monopolistic BS.

I think anyone who's paid any attention to targeted advertising has know this long before LMMs were a thing. Removing the 'easy answer' is just a legal formality at this point and does little to nothing for the privacy it claims to protect. Advertisers like Google like it that way and will fight tooth and nail against any 'reconsiderations'

Except countries don't fund the whole game and certainly not without conditions and criteria.

This also ignores indie devs who often only get their start self funding their project via day jobs. We could have so many more new ideas in niche genres if actually gave two shits about supporting new devs and not some AAA mega corp churning out the same uninspired garbage.

From a techical perspective I'm still annoyed that the amorphous blobs were not the agreed default. They are the simplest to store in SVG, have no gradients to render, and being non-human makes them not require skin/gender modifiers. All expression, nothing more.

I have my reolink cameras setup on an internal network without direct internet access, but have a server running Frigate and a VPN that I can remote into from my phone. Gives me full control of where the recordings are backed up and remote access controls. This setup works for their doorbells too which is neat.

To be fair you could just have both and allow the player to hotswap between them. This was a thing in some retro games already as tank controls were phased out. Really depends on how much work you want to put into supporting that kind of context switching of controls.

I see we've just completely abandoned semantic versioning. Not a good look for the future of major or even just cohesively themed updates.

The immediate issues I see are:

The bulpup arrangement gives it a moment arm that would bend your wrist rather than push into the palm of your hand on recoil.

Even if your wrist is fine, the hot gasses escaping the cylinder would be directed straight into your forefinger and thumb with every shot.

Finally, a break action or flip-out reload would now use space occupied by your hand around the grip. Not to mention a break would require the trigger and hammer mechanisms to be on opposite halves adding complexity and potential reliability issues.

I got the same treatment recently. All tech departments were issued M4 Mac Book Pros because that was more cost effective than than dealing with the non-compliant fuckery of W11. Unfortunately non-tech departments got the old inventory and are suffering the abhorrent instability of W11. It somehow refuses to play nice with just about everything in our corporate ecosystem.

The first mistake was thinking OpenAI gives a damn about privacy given they're more than happy to sell that out to Police. Whether it's a judge or a hacker, it's only a matter of time before someone gets a hold of that nuclear bomb worth of data.

If you don't use the VPN for normal things then you leave yourself open to indentification by correlation. It's the same rule for naive Tor users. The more normal and distributed it appears in traffic, the harder it is to correlate other pieces of data they they already have access to.

My tinfoil hat theory is that this instance is less a cashgrab and more an attack from AI slopbros to drown out criticism their billionaire overlords.

Really keen to sit down and read this book though.
