The average Joe wouldn't know where to begin in setting that up. That solution is far from solving the problem.

If you don't have the capability to train these models, then there's almost no chance of you having enough GPU power to run inference at a large scale on these models (assuming the…

It's not the price of power that matters, it's the heat produced. Every extra W consumed is an extra W of heat that needs to be handled, and for consoles that tend to be chucked in…

If you're tech savvy enough to monitor your equipment, you're probably smart enough not to install "free VPNs" or "free stream pirate apps" to get pwned in the first place. You pro…

Right, this is orthagonal to the discussion though. While the IPs and bandwidth might be free, managing the malware botnet and trying to keep a low profile so as to not attract att…

Yes, the status quo right now is merely bandwidth... but if there was money to be made in providing a small amount of compute for the sake of solving the next gen captcha's, you ca…

These options are up to 10 times bigger than the SteamMachine, approach almost twice the power draw, and are up to 2.8 times louder than the SteamMachine. They aren't even close to…

PoW barely affects the "residential proxies" aka. malware botfarms. The IPs are free for them and siphoning additional system resources for PoW doesn't matter at all for them. PoW …

All it takes is a populist with a good message to make a political group. All functional Western nations have voting mechanisms that allow for radical government change, if there i…

Indexes rebalance frequently. The "correct weight" today, won't be the correct weight in a year.

They succesfully did away with 2nd hand markets and the concept of "owning" anything. So yes, I would imagine DRM would continue to exist without piracy.

>of the 50 most dangerous cities in the world I think ~48 are in North and South America Why have you bundled South America with North America? Of the top 50, I see 4 from the US. …

If cheaters were capped to mimicking good players, that's already an incredible win over the status quo. The players that are walling (as an example), are playing with more informa…

Looking at someone cheating in a replay, it's pretty obvious the majority of the time. To me, this signals that this could be a problem that can be solved by a combination of analy…

>"taken an administrative role" Not GP, but no... a pension is not similar to an administrative role.

That's one method, but consider what happens when someone deposits a million dollars at a bank. This million dollars can be lent out to another person as a mortgage, and guess wher…

On the other hand, health care is not scaling to meet the growing demand of societies (look at the growing wait queues for access to basic medical attention in most Western nations…

We're lucky the EU regulators moved so slowly that the industry had already consolidated around USB-C (a standard that Apple was a key participant of and would have eventually move…

I disagree! There very much is a distinction and every age verification process will have the same failure mode. If there is something wrong with your account or ID, the user will …

>Discord lost thousands of them, despite promising to delete them after age verification occurred (and then not doing so) This is misleading, yet everyone seems to repeat it. Disco…

I don't want to touch their greasy in-store touch screens that thousands of other people touch. And those "deals" are way cheaper per user than large marketing campaigns, and proba…

Yet the Maccas app in Australia is atrocious for me. Takes >30secs to load the huge ad that pops-up before you can get to the menu. Close the ad and the menu takes another eternity…

Cloudflare has a stranglehold on the internet, but its marketshare is much lower than the incumbant email giants. Aprroximately 70-90% of all email goes through Google & Microsoft.…
