    >And the game is even on an off-the-shelf game engine, they possibly don't even employ game engine experts at Embark Studios. Perhaps, but they also turned off Nanite, Lumen and vi…

    I think this almost has to be the future if most compute development goes to AI in the next decade or so, beyond the fact that the proposed API is much cleaner. Vendors will stop c…

    Yeah, I saw this critique show up a few months ago and now I'm seeing it everywhere, even in major financial news sites like Bloomberg.[0] It's certainly worth discussing, but peop…

    These OCR improvements will almost certainly be brought to google books, which is great. Long term it can enable compressing all non-digital rare books into a manageable size that …

    I don't think China wants to go to war with Japan. I just mean to explain why people are focusing on geopolitical tensions. And the answer is that those tensions do exist, and is p…

    The weighting of this study is strange. The difference of number of years of education maxes out at 1 point, while being raised in different locations and different school types ar…

    More like a new plant in Iceland, after the PM of Iceland said any attack on Greenland would be a survival-threatening situation for Iceland. To be clear I think the comments about…

    Because commenters outside Japan may end up buying products containing chips made in Japan. If it was built in let's say France people would be thinking less about potential invasi…

    The built in Steam DRM is very weak. Of course that can change at any time, but at least the current catalog of Steam DRM-only games are not really tied down to steam except via la…

    In any interactive environment you have to upload to the GPU on each frame to output to a display, right? Or maybe integrated SoCs can skip that? Of course you only need to upload …

    I've found the built in gitk is pretty good for some GUI tasks. If I want to view the sate of some file at a given commit, it's easier to navigate using that rather than going thro…

    Hundreds of thousands to millions of people have come to the US legally each year for the last thirty years.[0] How is that impractical? In fact the share of immigrants in the US h…

    I don't think this is true. Many video game companies pay for DRM protection only for the first few months to a year, then remove it after most of the sales are generated. And befo…

    Why do companies attempt to prevent piracy if it doesn't hurt sales?

    The two extreme outliers I see are labeled "aead/clx192q/opt,-O3" and "aead/schwaemm128128v2/opt,-Os" according to clicking on the points with devtools. aead/schwaemm128128v2/opt,-…

    You can run adb from the phone itself via wireless debugging. From what I understand, you can do this via Shizuku or Termux, and there are apps that can give you a user interface f…
