Definitely. I know there are a lot of republicans who are happy to put their foot down if they are in power. It is fucking wrong and we need to oppose it whenever someone does this. Otherwise it is all just who whom all the way down. It's kind of sad that a lot of people were anti-FBI/CIA/etc but now that these organisations have been colonized they are suddenly pro-FBI/CIA/etc.

For Pi to have any meaning requires a universe with at least two dimensions. Whether Pi would exist without a universe is a matter of debate.
Never used the word circle in my definition of pi. If planes curve in another geometry then no. I think these would called surfaces rather than planes. You could define a plane as simply the set of points sharing a common normal vector not intersected more than once by lines oriented in directions that have a non-zero normal component (i.e. parallel planes are unique).

Your stripe transaction cost is probably around the advertised fee, 2.9% + 30¢

With an actual merchant account you can probably get closer to 2% or at least 2.5% + 25-30¢

At 5 million in transaction revenue, a .5% decrease would be 25k a year. You can probably get a larger decrease depending on how much risk your company's business has.

Stripe's sales rep might be contacting your company because you've hit the threshold where it's probably worth getting a merchant account, and they want to see if you're considering leaving to give you a discounted rate to stay. You're pretty much in Stripe's retention department because of your volume. It is definitely worthwhile at this point for your company to shop around for a merchant account. Some don't even have application fees if you're not a high risk business. At the least they can get an idea of how much they could save, and use that to leverage lower fees from Stripe.

I would still consider trying for a processing gateway that handles all the card transmission, though, even at a slightly higher margin. Handling the card at all means you need PCI Compliance. At your revenue you're probably PCI Level 2 or 3, which only requires a self-assessment questionnaire (that is lengthy but doable), and a quarterly vulnerability scan. At 6 Million transactions a year, you'll be PCI Level 1, which means you'll need an auditor to come in and look at your processes and policies.
Can you please define the difference between average and marginal productivity?

«I haven't computed it, but you need to take into account the energy it takes to mine a block»

No, because the energy consumption is the same regardless if a block contains zero or a thousand transactions. Therefore it is misleading to attribute mining energy as the "cost" of transactions. And Bitcoin doesn't operate at max capacity: its lightning network is very under-used at the moment.

As to the transaction fee, it is relevant: even though it was already "paid for", it is being redistributed to miners again, therefore drives energy consumption further up than if it was not being redistributed.

No, you misunderstand, the "systems" I am talking about are the ones built into our minds, like recognizing faces, or understanding speech. Humans can learn to speak and recognize each other automatically, but AI systems have to be built specifically to do each task.
I read it, your complaint is still just silly.

Optimization certainly varies across games, but when you're working on an iGPU, you're probably playing on a particularly low level of quality that yeah, developers don't spend a lot of time optimizing for, because relatively few of their intended customers are running on a crappy old integrated GPU. That doesn't necessarily mean that the game is "unoptimized" as a whole though, it could be just that it's unoptimized for very low end systems, because they focused more on better performance at higher quality settings.

In Deep Rock Galactic's case, while it's relatively low poly, it's still quite a pretty game, it's really not that barebones, so I wouldn't expect it to run well on such a weak CPU and GPU, and to expect otherwise is silly.
Well, it was defacto owned by Gulab Singh at that point (who was basically his own automous and honestly pretty evil warlord - fun fact, my mom's side of the family is directly descended from his top general and my dad's side of the family emigrated to British India because in the 1800s they were mere Pahari peasants who were required to partake in forced labor for Raja Gulab Singh's family, and resettled on a portion of land that was part of a massive land tract given to a major Zamindar/Feudal Lord who supported Duleep Singh and thus lost it after the war). And the key question then is, who is the successor state? The Sikh Empire's successor state was the British Raj and the Princely State of Kashmir and Jammu's successor state is - oh wait, 4 wars, ethnic cleansing, and a 40 year insurgency occured over this question).
No, it's a legitimate argument.

If the British had taken possession of an object from an Indian tribe in California in 1800, who would be entitled to it? The U.S. government? The government of Mexico? The State of California? The Tribes' descendants?

Possession is 9/10 of the law.

Those simple values worked well in analog CRTs because they didn’t always responded linearly to input voltage. Back then, when producing images where color mattered, you needed to know how your monitor responded to the analog signals (and, often, how the destination screen did). We used to calibrate our monitors.

It was also more common to adjust brightness and contrast to suit your preferences. A blue like 4 wasn’t necessarily as invisible then as it is now with our perfectly linear and 100% responsive screens.

Text-Based Google Directions

I live in Australia too and while roundabouts are OK for low to medium sized road and even larger roads with even traffic they absolutely do not work for heavy and uneven traffic. I have seen a number of large roundabouts become a congestion point once the traffic became heavy and mostly coming from one or two directions. Once they converted those roundabouts to intersections with traffic lights, the congestion eased significantly.
So, roundabouts can work but not in all instances.

A pattern I'm seeing in the later replies here is that few of them are responding to the substance of my comments. Perhaps dang will clean this up.

If you review the root comment I made, you'll understand that I was never arguing with the GP about AGI in the first place.

You can feed in any combination of image or text and get an equivalent array of 768 floats. By comparing two of these arrays to each other you can determine semantic similarity between two images, text and an image, text and other piece of text.. Quite useful. But somewhat limited in representational capacity.

The effects punch below their weight in those games, though. I like to call it "Unity Syndrome", but it applies to any widely-adopted engine.

Well-made video games focus on the experience of playing them. Visuals, audio, setting, gameplay, user interfaces, they're all made with the same goal.

In a fast action game, you'll want menus to get out of the way quickly, dialogue that can be delivered while the player is moving, particle effects designed more like fireworks than sparklers, etc.

In a slow-paced story game, you'll have more leeway to let players stop and smell the roses. You'll want to pay attention to different details, make cues last longer, etc.

Open-world games need more attention to dynamic level of detail and story progressions. The list goes on.

When people wrote their own engines, these assumptions were baked in from the start and the engine was developed and tweaked according to the game being made. When you shoehorn your idea into a general-purpose off-the-shelf solution, you end up making more compromises on things like performance and verisimilitude.

You can see it in the default shaders/effects that many modern budget games use, but my favorite example of this is actually The Witcher. The first game in that series used Bioware's Aurora engine, which was designed to simulate d20 games like Dungeons & Dragons.

I'd like to comment specifically on the conception of betting on AI 'achievements' (I think Marcus' bet is underspecified and kind of vague in all 5 of its points).

People shouldn't be betting on benchmarks because benchmarks can be and usually are gamed (see Goodhart's law). Also, most people couldn't give less f*ck if an AI can write an award-worthy poem (I personally don't care about any form of AI "art", any sort of text an AI can produce or really any meaningless "feat" it (as in the general category) becomes capable of).
The only worthy bets are ones that discuss economic impact. How many people will be structurally unemployed because of AI by year X? Will it lower or increase the GDP growth rate and by how much? Will it shift the balance between labor and capital and how? Etc.

So more meaningful bets and less benchmark bullshit that doesn't matter, please.

This advice sounds awful lot like the old school “don’t use <table>”.

It is a terrible advice, you shouldn’t use <table> for styling, but if you are representing a tabular data, by all means use <table>. I’ve heard some developers (mostly back end devs that dabble in front end) say you’re not supposed to use tables, and I’ve seen div soups where there definitely should be tables. And I blame overuse of the rhetoric “don’t use <table>”.

By all means, if your taking in a numeric value, use <input type=number>. You get frontend validation, localization, context aware soft-keyboard, accessibility etc. all for free. Use it.

If however, you don’t have a numeric value (e.g. a value that is simply represented with digits) use something else. In general, if ordering values makes sense, then most likely <input type=number> is your best choice.
