It’s also quite unexpected, given that it’s Apple, and they’ve traditionally made more expensive machines, with worse hardware. In my country, for example, it is nearly unheard of for a new Apple computer to cost less than four digits/US$800+.

Particularly at a time when it’s more typical to hear of new computer prices going up instead, due to shortages.

A projector might be an option, but they have their own problems, like with the contrast not being great.

Would it not make sense for them to? Since they make budget televisions, they have to subsidise the cost somehow.

Either that, or because they’re so budget, you’d expect them to cheap out on the electronics and not bother with anything that sophisticated compared to a bare-minimum chip.

It’s also pretty important infrastructure. Even before AI, one of the major providers datacentres going down would take out a solid chunk of modern internet.

All he made was some dinky algorithm. Google Bard could do that in three minutes flat smh.

I do wish that more games still had cheats. It does feel a bit like a lot of newer games have foregone them entirely. You can’t type plane into GTA V, and have a plane materialise, like you could in Vice City, for example.

You’d need to mod it in.

It might also be groundwork for more complicated things on their GPUs.

The article says nothing about nVidia actually planning to enter the desktop CPU market, only that a bunch of unrelated analysts compared the CPU performance, and said it was about equal to what’s on the market.

Quite surprised that they are pushing that, seeing as one of the biggest obstacles for Windows 11 getting adopted was that a lot of the existing hardware didn’t support the TPM requirements it put in place.

Doing it again so soon seems like a recipe to make people not want to use 12 at all. After all, Windows 11 works fine for them, why change so soon?

Do they account for changing economic factors as well? I would be curious about how many of the new diagnoses are from people who might have died from other causes, or been classified that say.

At the same time, an entire decade has passed since then. The hope would be that they became better in the intervening time.

Edit: After looking them up, apparently not so much. One of their more recent controversies was in 2022, where they published unsubstantiated misinformation around COVID, suggesting it came from an independent US-funded lab.

Right, but the volume was the issue. The cURL team could only work through and verify them so quickly, so the deluge of bug reports just made it impractical for them to dedicate time to sort through it. The idea in getting rid of the bug bounty being that there would be less of an incentive to generate and write a bogus bug report.

If it was just a small handful of fake security reports, they wouldn’t have minded nearly as much.

It was volume that was more the issue with the bug bounty program.

They were flooded, and recognising it is all well and good, but not if there’s no good way to filter it out, not without massive collateral.

It does make it harder to find them, because the phrasing is similar, but not identical due to randomness.

Whereas before, you could probably filter a good chunk of it out by just finding the same message/keywords and filtering by that.

People also generally need support if they are to have kids.

If you have a cultural expectation that people need to move out when they are of age, they can’t rely on grandparents or extended family to look after the children, and if they are spending all their other time working, they’re just not going to have the time to find someone to have kids with, or be able to actually raise the children.

In the absence of other factors, like needing the kids to help out on the farm, people have no reason to have them. Especially in countries like the US, where healthcare and childcare are quite expensive. A childbirth alone is about $3000 - $30000 over there, to say nothing of health-care costs, complications, there being very little parental leave, or any of that.

Is it reasonable for them to keep their own local snapshots?

That’s not a trivial amount of work and data, particularly it it’s multimedia.

It is an online poll. You also have to consider that some people don’t care/want to be funny, and so either choose randomly, or choose the most nonsensical answer.

I thought that this is just confirmation of other studies? We knew that it exacerbates underlying mental conditions, especially in those underage.

It pretty much is, though I think this study is unusual in that it suggests that the effect may be independent of socioeconomic factors.

Though the authors do admit that there may be a bidirectional link at play, which is quite interesting, and relatively novel, off the top of my head. You’re at higher risk for schizophrenia or psychosis if you use marijuana, but you’re also more likely to use marijuana if you’re at higher risk for schizophrenia or psychosis. A lot of prior studies established the links individually, but didn’t combine them.

I don’t think I have met the crowd you refer to.

There are a few dotted throughout this thread, laying the blame on other things than the hasis.

They did. One of the variables they statistically controlled for in the study is the “neighbourhood deprivation index”, which represents socio-economic living factors.

So prices may not actually drop, (even after the pop), because the companies still won’t be producing more hardware than they currently are.

There’s also the risk that they simply may not drop the price even after, because the customer base can bear that price, so it becomes the new normal.

Or for things like video editing. Video editors tend to be quite RAM heavy.
