Well I don’t know what there USP is in world where OneDrive/Google Drive/iCloud exist. And there future plan is a focus on AI, so yeah, goodbye Dropbox is my guess

Yeah, no, that is not what the article says. AlphaChip is better at component/module placement in terms of connection length between them.

Not to say that that isn’t cool. But it is not recursive. That would imply that the chip with shorter connection length improves the models performance significantly, which they do not claim at all. Because it would quickly reach diminishing returns.

There is a thousand things that go into making chips. Many will benefit from the automatic optimization of such algorithms. But this doesn’t suddenly give you a new manufacturing node or anything comparable out of thin air. Just a marginal improvement on existing design.

I just hope Anno gets out of this in a good state. 1800 is probably the best one, if I ignore my nostalgia for 1602.

Well, without Israelis causing trouble, the Saudis and Iranians would still be jousting in proxy wars across the region, Turkiye would still be trying to kill the Kurds, and Syria would still be locked in civil war.

Maybe I’m ignorant or thinking of older conflicts, but isn’t all of the above still happening?

Either electro-chemically in batteries, but they might not get energy dense enough for seasonal storage.

Or chemically by creating Hydrogen, Methane or Ammonia. Those are very energy dense and except for Hydrogen easy to store with existing infrastructure. Currently it is just prohibitively expensive, because the net efficiency is bad, especially for Methane and Ammonia.

So without an Oracle I can’t say which it will be, but one or more of those will work if the world is committed to net zero.

I think solar will just drop in price so significantly that energy storage will be possible by pure scale. If you get paid to use electricity (which already happens during the day in summer), it doesn’t matter if your efficiency is terrible. It’s not elegant but it’ll get us close to net zero. Unless we blow all of our energy on stupid shit like generative “AI”

I mean steam doesn’t care what you executable you start for a game. So they could just run any other program instead. Doesn’t feel like any real new tbh

Not sure how Japanese law has anything to do with this. I’m pretty sure under US law (the one that ultimately matters for streaming) leaves all the rights of recorded videos of the game with the right holders of the game. That you’re allow to record/stream games at all has no legal precedent, it’s just a wise business decision by publisher to not forbid it (anymore).

And legality aside. As a dev I wouldn’t want racist or bigoted streamers to show my game and make money off of my work. Same with leakers. Sure for a big company I don’t care but if someone leaked an indie devs work, we would consider it a dick move as well.

It literally says in the post that his net worth is roughly equal to the median.

Wasn’t there always a pay-walled subreddit, made by the community? I think you had to have had gold/premium to get invited.

It is literally just Nvidia Encoder. So hardware encoding on Nvidia GPUs. What codes are supported depends on the GPU
