DLSS 2.0 is "just" an upscaler. There's a ton of techniques to upscaling, and a lot are way better than a shitty bilinear filter. Temporal upscaling, for example, is also a thing, and is very good ( https://youtu.be/A2A-rhCQCuY?t=605 ). Upscaling in general has been a huge area of technique improvements & innovations thanks to the xbox one & PS4 struggling so hard with 4k desires.

DLSS 2.0 is a great addition to that field, but it's far from being the only good option here. AMD has also done some things in this area, too, like Radeon Boost which was the idea of dynamically reducing resolution in response to player inputs, with the idea being if you're sitting still-ish you're OK sacrificing FPS for better quality, but as soon as you start whipping about you want the FPS more. Game engines also do similar things, and combined with temporal upscaling & antialiasing are quite compelling.

> once someone knows the ins and outs of a system, sometimes there are very few barriers internally to check that an order/paperwork is legit.

It sounds to me like they are using security-by-obscurity, as well as easily forgeable proofs such as "signatures" or drivers licenses (they're only as secure as your ability to spot a forgery). Hence why anyone who is knowledgable and determined enough, can easily crack the system.

If you want to prevent such problems, you could either go really old-school. Require the person filing documents to show up in person, and be personally identified and recognized by someone in-house. Or go really new-school and only accept biometrics or digital paperwork that has been filed using a secure account accessible only by that person.

Using an in-between approach, like a signed paperwork that has been given to you by someone you don't recognize, is the worst possible solution.
Yeah, except what happens when the apps and toolkits you use drop X support because they consider X a dead end? What will you do then?

This is NOT a hypothetical. Projects have dropped ALSA support and adopted a policy of PulseAudio or GTFO -- and ALSA has more commitment to its long-term maintenance than Xorg now does. And I suspect the next phase will be Wayland maintainers putting pressure on toolkits to drop X support, much like Lennart pressured the GNOME community to hard-depend on systemd.

Holy cremoly. I had appendicitis when I was about 7, back in the 1980s, it was awful and after surgery in an actual hospital with actual doctors I was still out of action for six weeks. I have no idea how anyone could be in a fit mental state to be able to do this to themselves, and I imagine this could have gone completely wrong very easily, it's beating the odds that is just as impressive too.
Correlation does not mean causation, and I am baffled that this needs be repeated here on this forum over and over again. If you throw a bottle into the television, are you effectively convinced that you have just disrupted the broadcast signal or do you entertain the possibility that you have simply messed up enough the proxy by which you were registering the signal? This is not woo. This is intellectual honesty. You seem skeptic and rational judging by what you write. Go all the way. We simply don't know that brain causes consciousness. We just don't, and I'm the first not happy about the possibility that it may not be the case, but I must accept rationally that there's all kind of holes in the brain-causes-consciousness narrative. By that account, for instance, every reduction in brain activity should correspond to a reduction of consciousness. Well, this is not the case, see for instance Carhart-Harris et al 2012, 2016 and many others more recently. Moreover, NDEs reports demonstrate enormous level of conscious experience in the absence of any brain activity. There's no space where to fit this empirical evidences in the causal framework.

Moreover, to believe in the fairy tale of physicalism implies accepting that the building blocks of such worldview (fundamental particles) pop up into existence out of thin air, that the universe is made mostly of "dark energy", and that experiential properties "emerge" from unconscious matter... is this the kind of woo you were referring to when you mentioned damaged reasoning ability?

Just in case, I've published yesterday demo build of Sciter.JS that also has binaries for Raspberry Pi (ARM32).

See: https://github.com/c-smile/sciter-js-sdk (screenshots are there too)

Some stats:

Binary size : 3.7 Mb (RPI version)

HTML: HTML5 level of markup language + "HTML Window" extensions, see: https://sciter.com/html-window/

CSS 2.1 + selected modules of CSS3, see: https://sciter.com/docs/content/css/cssmap.html

JavaScript: full ES6 specification + extras like built-in JSX, see: https://github.com/c-smile/quickjspp

Again, Sciter.JS uses time proven and well known technologies in a fraction of size.

This is a tool to analyze large goroutine stacktrace dump files, to assist in debugging by parsing the dump and displaying it in a structured table.

It works entirely client-side (no data is uploaded or stored), groups together goroutines with identical stacktraces into a single entry, and allows quickly sorting/filtering/searching.

Why does it matter how well-written it is? Shouldn't it just matter if the points are valid or not?
Can be argued that Googling is simply unimportant. It is not an extension of a thought process (as pouring a cup of tea is not an extension of our digestive process), it's simply something trivial that we do and immediately discard the memories of that as of having no importance for us. Humans are - I believe - goal-oriented, so whenever we want to discover something that's our goal, not the process that led us there (unless something memorable happens along that process).

IMHO, what we remember is the task and its outcome, not the trivialities that brought us from one to another. Which makes me wonder why the last question puzzles people.

I don't readily remember my search history, because I just discard the memories of reaching for something (unless there was something exceptional, which is rare). It's like driving to the restaurant, when there are multiple ways to get to the place. I do remember the outcome (dinner) but unless something happened on the road I probably would need to think/reconstruct if I'd be suddenly asked about the particular roads I took.

Same with the articles - I do remember what I was interested in today (as opposed to "what I've searched for", a subtle difference), and what were the results - things I've read top-to-bottom. Although maybe not in true historical order, but typically the last one is still correct.

To summarize:

- "How often" - unimportant, as the count rarely has a value. Need to enumerate and count things, and that's quite a tedious mental process.

- "What was the last thing before the last" - typically unimportant, as historical order of unrelated events rarely has a value. Needs some mental processing to sort things.

- "What is the last thing you read" - beats me, I do remember what I've read. May need some mental processing (going through my "reading history" and confirming that I've reached this by searching), but besides a possible surprise factor not really a puzzling question.
It is not Waylands fault that it serves same niche as X.Org.

People who had objections against systemd maintained init systems [1], created new distributions [2]. I do not pretend there are no problems with systemd but it serves my (quite common) needs. And the way distributions shows some people were burnt out.

If you need X.Org (and I do), speak how to help X.Org.

Some people needs covered by Wayland. It is not their fault.

Distributions default may be questionable, it is distributions problem not Waylands. I use Arch Linux, no default, no problems.

There are lots of regulations governing all the stuff you use and consume. They are different between regions but often regions band together and synchronize their regulations.

It's really not a big deal and yes if the tradeoff is that forcing the web monopolies into consumer friendly behaviour means that some tiny services are region limited (in name, not necessarily in practice due to vpns) then it's a net good.

I took at little stab at it earlier this year and made a very basic POC using PhaserJS [https://github.com/te0d/web-tabletop]. You can see what the code does at [https://bored.blue/].

It has a hardcoded background and limited token options, but you can see it live update token positions between the users connected. I actually decided to take another look at it yesterday and I'd like to add some preset game options. And very importantly, add persistence (right now the websocket server keeps each table's state only in memory).

Ben Kuhn's guide on how to beat SAD using off-the-shelf lights is the plan. Ben's recommendation's have evolved with experimentation and at the bottom in the comment threads on his page, he recommends using a fixture like this [1] along with lightbulbs of these kind [2]. I have two of [1] and 10 of [2] for a total of 16,000 lux at 5000k and 90+ CRI. The total cost was under $90. Measured lux varies 1/d^2 so the right you receive will be relative to the distance from the setup.

I have measured 600+lux using my smartphone lux meter app which seems plenty. It is so bright that I usually just run 1-5 bulb setup.

Thanks, Ben!

> They paid $775/ton. Coal is $30/ton.

That's the whole problem, the cost of coal needs to come up and that's something that's in policy makers hands. Stripe is trying to reduce that $775 by investing early in these projects.

> Capture requires energy that could be used to reduce carbon emissions demand. 2nd law of thermodynamics says you can’t win this game.

Assuming all energy comes from coal, which isn't even remotely close to true.

> The best carbon capture technology is plants and plankton.

Plants and plankton are useful for capturing carbon and storing that biomass, but that's not a long-term storage strategy. All plants die and decay, returning carbon to the carbon cycle. If we want a long term solution, we need to put carbon back into the geosphere where we got it from.
Each design pattern identifies a weakness in the language where it appears. If the language were stronger, the pattern would be either just a core language feature, or (better) a library component. Languages get stronger by being able to capture more patterns in libraries.

And forgot to add, everything you mention here has empirical evidence of not being conclusive.

I have often seen apps saying things like, 'we don't use any personally identifiable information; we aggregate and anonymize location data, stripping it of your IP address and storing only the region and ISP.' Or whatever. Not all metadata can identify or profile the individual from whom the data were generated.

Here's what they say on the Ad Observer website:

If you want, you can enter basic demographic information about yourself in the tool to help improve our understanding of why advertisers targeted you. However, we’ll never ask for information that could identify you.

If that's the case, then I don't think the statement is false. I tried to find a standalone privacy policy, but it's not in the GitHub readme.

I am increasingly and severely avoiding the use of my mobile phones, mostly because of how it interferes your life. I don't know how much this is true for everyone else, but I have found plenty of desktop applications that do exactly what I want and little else (shells, browsers, websites, Discord, Steam, Spotify, work software, etc.). And I sit at the desk for most of the day.

My phone is at my desk. I turn off all notifications and sounds, and only allow it to ring from people on my contacts, and I otherwise don't use it. It's basically a chat computer that sits on my desk. I'll take it with me on any major trip anywhere, but otherwise when I leave, I try to not bring my phone.

I don't know how people stand to live with these devices and the irritating software that runs on them. The expectation now is that anything you install will irritate you, and people aren't properly valuing their time, but some of them catch on to it, and stop installing new software...

> They take the interpretation of tax laws and your personal situation that is most favorable to the IRS, though. This can amount to tens of thousands of dollars that you pay them needlessly.

I agree 100%.

Though, I think that most people hear stories about a multi-thousand dollar tax notice, and become terrified that the IRS will force them to pay that money.

However, as your story illustrates, the notice they give is the worst case scenario. If you have any kind of documentation, you can add that amend your return and it'll be accepted by the IRS drastically reducing your tax bill.

This is made easier, because you're working with a real live human being on the other end---one who at least in my case, I could call and ask questions like 'what do documentation do you specifically need to see for X?' instead of guessing as is the norm for non accountants working within the complex tax code.
