But which consumes more energy? Like really. I’m betting AI does, but some tasks might be close.

I love response to the backlash. It’s basically “Sorry our video was cringy and tonedeaf. We have removed the cringe.”

It’s not “impossible”. It’s expensive and will take years to produce material under an encompassing license in the quantity needed to make the model “large”. Their argument is basically “but we can have it quickly if you allow legal shortcuts.”

Only source of heat.

That money was ill gained. The court applied laws. That money is not theirs now. What kind of hellscape are you advocating?

If by “the service”, you mean “online mental health providers”, then no, the service will not get worse. Patients will be fine.

If by “the service”, you mean “Cerebral’s health services”, then yes. They can collapse for all I care.

It seems that the paper is making theoretical strides in the limitations of producing a positron beam via the Breit-Wheeler process. From Wikipedia

This mechanism is theoretically characterized by a very weak probability, so producing a significant number of pairs requires two extremely bright, collimated sources of photons having photon energy close to or above the electron and positron rest mass energy. Manufacturing such a source, for instance, a gamma-ray laser, is still a technological challenge.

I’m not claiming I know this stuff. I was just trying to figure out what was new here since I didn’t find the headline very surprising.

I’m surprised they don’t consider it a breakthrough. “We have created Artificial Depression.”

I never beat it as a kid either. I barely played it. I thought it was cryptic and punishing, although 9-year-old me wouldn’t have used those words. Just a simple “This game is dumb.” worked.

In fact, I thought it was pretty universally reviled. I’ve since learned that this is due the to fact that a child’s gaming social-sphere in the 90s could be quite limited.

About 5 years ago, glancing across a bookshelf, a certain game cart happened to catch my eye. I couldn’t tell you why it was this particular game cart that my attention ;) but I really started to think about it. I don’t actually know anything about Zelda 2 (other than “This game is dumb.”). So then I thought, maybe it wasn’t for kids. Nine-year-olds are pretty ego-centric. The NES was one of our toys. No adults were playing these things. Did I mention my social-sphere?

It then occured to me: I’m a blank slate. I know next to nothing about the progression, the map, or anything. Of course along the way, I found things familiar, and I knew things like >!Shadow Link was the final boss!< but I didn’t know >!how to cheese the Shadow Link fight!<.

So I gave it an honest, no-help-other-than-the-game’s-original-manual playthrough. Yadda-yadda-yadda, Zelda 2 is one of the best games on the NES, and in my book, that makes it one of the best games ever.

In hindsight, Zelda 1 is cryptic af. “The 10th enemy has the bomb”, “gumble gumble”, “shaka when the walls fell”, wtf? If you’d like to know what the 10th enemy thing is: >!hopefully someone below explains drop counts because I’m sure as fuck not going to!<. How was a kid or adult going to figure that out?

My Z2 playthrough took days, maybe 10, but my memory is fuzzy. I got pretty stuck >!looking for the mirror!< and I wondered around for a full day with no progress although I felt like I understood where the game wanted me to go. About halfway through the next day, I read the manual. I didn’t actually think when I started that I was going to do a no-help-other-than-the-manual playthrough. I thought of as a no-internet-on-an-80s-game playthrough. After the realization that the manual wasn’t outside help, I did use the internet for that. Well as soon as I learned >!hammers can chop down trees!<, I was on my way. The rest of the playthrough went smoothly, apart from being hard as fuck.

In a world with a solid support structure like universal basic income, where people would never be forced to sleepwork to survive, this could be quite cool. There could be some amazing artist/engineer collabs done.

Thank goodness it doesn’t have windows.

Cheaper. Any other questions?

Not seeing it at makes me so much more happy.

is it possible to do something like open the sound of a virtual stream from OBS and use OBS’s audio filters before the discord-clone gets your audio? not sure if that makes sense, but that would be the steps I would try in your shoes.
