> The choice of the word universal is a bit ironic, as the nature of the (physical) universe prevents such a thing from being possible.

It might look improbable or unlikely, but I don't see how it is impossible.

Unity in the underlying organizing principles (logos) of the universe, the idea of pantheistic view of a "god" as "the one" is at least as old as neoplatonism. However far from achieving a full grasp, all life forms find approximating to reality to be highly adaptive and valuable. As such, there could as well be a continuity between our moral values and general structural functional organization of the universe. Even though we are hopelessly unable to compute our way towards it, we could have been incrementally approximating it (while also occasionally deceiving ourselves). One could say the evolution of consciousness was adaptive towards processing these calculations, but by no means a requisite to have some contact with and understanding of a part of reality.

UE5 is a game changer in a lot of ways, but I personally would not begin to migrate any projects over to it yet. They are looking for people to hammer out the bugs with the early access (which is exactly what they should be doing), so you should know what you're getting into if you're going to convert your large project over. You could be in for a lot of pain. I have seen a few reports on /r/unrealengine of projects with custom C++ modules having very little support (docs or otherwise) post-migration.

That said, big features with UE5. Lumen is the biggest imo (bigger than Nanite) because it (in theory) achieves a holy grail of automatic dynamic global illumination, without a super expensive RTX-like raytracing card. The number of lighting problems and lighting-related workflows it will obsolete cannot be overstated.

Nanite is cool, but from my super high-level understanding of the tech, it is only going to work on static meshes where the engine can build the fancy indexes it needs to render dynamic LODs. My understanding is that it won't work on any mesh that needs deformation of any kind (someone correct me if I'm wrong here please).
LSTM stands for Long Short Term Memory. It's a recurrent network that learns what and how long things should be kept in its internal state buffer. It doesn't have a fixed state size because it's just learning a nonlinear function that takes an input and a state to an output and a new state. Obviously it can't model all possible, infinite length recurrences, but it can definitely do a pretty good job of approximating long term recurrence relations in complex signals.

So many options! On a police cruiser. Up a tree. Under a dumpster behind the impound lot. In the discount bin at Victoria's Secret.

1. Buy property for >= 5 mil JPY

2. Use it as capital for your newly formed Japanese company

3. Rent it out to yourself or someone else, or AirBnb it

You should now be eligible for a Business Manager visa.

I rent and don't own any property, but I've seen people do this.
I disagree that it'd be safe to assume that the police forfeited ownership so if they claim the device is theirs it makes sense to return the device.

However the article pointed out (and it's pretty reasonable honestly) that when the woman first found the device she didn't know what it was and was concerned it might be a bomb. Given that someone has attached a device to your car without informing you of the intent of that device I think it's perfectly fair to destroy the device - if someone asks for the device returned you can explain the situation and, as long as you didn't clearly know what the device was (i.e. have search history for that exact tracker device or have testimony from a mechanic or technician who advised you on what the device is) then I think it'd be extremely difficult for you to be found at any fault.

Car bombs are a thing that happens, they happen thankfully quite rarely but destroying a suspicious device is probably the best general course of action.

Edit to add:
I think there's also no reason to believe that someone planting a tracking device on your vehicle is working with law enforcement - it could easily be a stalker or someone acting maliciously. This actually seems like really risky behavior for the cops if they ever want the device back - I'd assume the devices they actually get returned are by pure luck alone.

How about this quote:

"Finally, if you’re a functional programming purist and feel uneasy about React relying on mutable state as an implementation detail, you might find it satisfactory that handling Hooks could be implemented in a pure way using algebraic effects (if JavaScript supported them)."

That sure sounds like they are saying even FP purists should feel comfortable using hooks.

Not exactly how this works though. If the tracker was attached with a legitimate warrant your “consent” is irrelevant. It sounds like the Indiana ruling was more about intent to steal and not some issue of ownership, which is a distinct difference.
That would be reflected on OP's model though - if she truly drove traffic, she would proportionally be rewarded far more than that artist
Yea, that could probably happen as well. Hopefully they are more judicious with their spending on current projects. But I guess aggressively spending in the short term to share more knowledge with a larger portion of the world could be a worthy cause as well. Hopefully those in power understand the gravity of the responsibility they have and they don't trend towards something like the leadership of the NRA (assuming reported corruption was true and not politically biased).

My understanding is that so long as you're not a) using third-party cookies, or b) trying to track the user beyond what's necessary for your site to function in a reasonable way (and that's "technical function", not "necessary for me to pay the bills for my site"), you don't need to have any banner.

For instance, I run a small (and very niche) browser-based game, which has never done any advertising or tracking, not even Google Analytics. It needs a cookie to keep track of which account is logged in from any given browser, and another with a couple of per-device preferences for how the site should display, and that's it.

Nevertheless, the organisation tasked with protecting the environment in China is called the Ministry of Ecology and Environment. To quote Wikipedia:

> The Center for American Progress has described China's environmental policy as similar to that of the United States before 1970. That is, the central government issues fairly strict regulations, but the actual monitoring and enforcement are largely undertaken by local governments that have a greater interest in economic growth.

You raise an important distinction, but one thing I've always found to be troublesome with K-H is that I've never seen a discussion of whether the winners would have undertaken their profitable behavior but-for the high level of profit. Perhaps if the gentrifiers (as just one example) faced a gentrification tax to fund the lives of people displaced they would not have considered the deal good enough to gentrify in the first place.

I'm not saying this is necessarily true, but it seems like a major problem with K-H as a concept that I personally don't see discussed (I imagine it is discussed in academic journals somewhere).

>However, with Amazon’s own gaming streaming service, called Luna, in testing, it could help transform FireOS into a much more appealing gaming device to enable even more access to games that only require a controller and an internet connection.

I’ve only considered Amazon Fire tablets as a cheap tablet you might give to a child, relative to spending several hundred dollars on an iPad or higher end Android tablet. I never quite understood who is the target audience for these devices though. I was recently in an Amazon Books store and tried the higher end model. It felt very unresponsive and clunky. But I’ll assume Amazon continues to produce these because they help get people into the Prime ecosystem with the tight Amazon Video and Kindle integration?

The worst part on the device I tested was how it has the Kindle app built in. And the main screen was just ads labeled as “recommendations”.
Well it is an early access after all. Curiosity aside, why would anyone want to migrate?
Security reasons, the more ambiguous you can keep it, the better it is for keeping bad actors away.

Same reason almost all sites don't tell you whether it's the email or password that was wrong when you create an invalid login attempt.
It's really amazing not having to worry about light maps at all. Also the integration of Quixel Bridge and all the free high quality assets should be mentioned. It's really quick to build something that sounds and looks impressive.
Those things are what, $40 now? Why are the police such cheapskates about them? If they are hoping to get some incriminating information from an offline tracker then wouldn't they be asking the suspect to help incriminate themselves by returning it?
It was a broad policy that affected millions of women.
In HAM mode it could do 4096 simultaneously but that was mostly limited to static images. For games it was 32 or 64 colors.

But this was in 1985. VGA didn’t exist until 1987 and didn’t become ubiquitous until 1990. And was much more expensive.

If Commodore had been properly run they would have had their next gen chipset out by then. But they weren’t, so it wasn’t until 1992 they came out with AGA which was a only little better than VGA and by then it was too late anyway.

Instead of regulating their lives like they do with the child policy and making migration illegal maybe they should try improving their lives a little so they don’t need to have a ton of kids or work illegally and without services in order to get by? Who would have thunk a communist country would treat their poor workers so badly?
It'd be interesting to see how this might shake out related to lost-and-found precedent - I bet there's some insight there. If you find a sweater abandoned in the woods and take it home I'd assume that isn't stealing unless there was a reasonable case to be made that the article of clothing was recently discarded - but if someone comes looking for it or puts up fliers that may change the math on that.

This is essentially the same idea - something was left on your car, potentially maliciously even.

Without examples I think the downvotes are justified, note they said there are reasons and suggested that those reasons are widely applied. Which is different to 'there could be reasons' and 'it would be good if everyone moved to using those aspects that give justified benefits'.

The expectation is 'everyone wants you to use their app so they can track and advertise better' and the parent basically said 'nuh-uh'. We need more to be able to consider it substantive and benefiting the conversation, IMO.
> Nanite intelligently streams and processes only the detail you can perceive, largely removing poly count and draw call constraints, and eliminating time-consuming work like baking details to normal maps and manually authoring LODs, freeing you up to concentrate on creativity.

Not having to create normal maps/LODs seems like a pretty big deal if this is true.

If I understand right normally in games you have multiple discrete versions of the same mesh with different detail levels depending on how close the player is. You sometimes notice this glitching out in games where a model will suddenly pop in to a higher detail.

It sounds like nanite is more like having continuous LOD for the mesh.

I wonder how well it works in practice.

Also curious how it will affect game asset sizes

There's no reason to assume that the statement is true, it's coming from the police, they could easily be lying.
Honestly I'm quite blown away to know there are people who weren't doing it this way. I think it's due to a fundamental misunderstanding of what docker is for and that is caused by using a solution without knowing the problem.
> That doesn't help you if you're attempting to use pre-built/existing Docker images that are not built internally

Most pre-built images that I've come across don't require bind mounts to function.

Images like PostgreSQL aren't affected by this because you can use a named volume, and most pre-built applications that are shipped as images tend to store their state in a database and don't require bind mounts to function.
For non-vegetation non-deforming assets it works great so far. Looks absolutely seamless and works an order of magnitude faster.

Well they get it back. This is far less ambiguous then a case I read about years ago when someone found one on their car. In that case, they started tracking him because of a sketchy friend.

And you known who proposed and architected the "one-child policy": Yinchu Ma.

Although in the end Mr. Ma and Malthus were all wrong. They never experienced the prosperity's effect on people's behavior in making baby. Like any mass production.

The unspoken issue with these drones is the fact that they’re widely available and made up of commercial-off-the-shelf components. A guided missile requires expertise in chemistry, materials science, and a lot of expensive experimentation. You can’t fly under a government’s radar with them. A drone however, is accessible to every citizen, and the software that runs them is widely available and accessible.

In nuclear weapons it’s the difficulty in sourcing the nuclear material that prevents widespread proliferation. Imagine if the core could be made of something like iron, everyone would have nukes and our civilization would not survive.
Looking at these image comparisons with the sliders I'm both amazed at how far real time rendering tech has come and the ingenuity on display, but also by how relatively little it matters at this point.

I don't have a particular point to make, but as time passes I feel so privileged to have grown up with videogames in the 90's and early 00's. A watershed moment in computing, where we went from low res 2D graphics to high resolution 3D graphics. We've clearly hit diminishing returns since then.

While you are right in principle (generally: all encryption schemes explicitly exclude message length from their confidentiality claims), in practice, some parts are user-specific (such as the username if you are logged in, and which compression algorithm is selected).

That said, the ideal encryption tunnel is one which is always running, transmitting a random stream that is likely encrypting a sequence of zeroes most of the time. The energy consumption may be problematic however.
