The OS's file system should be caching some of that in RAM automatically. I wonder if Fallout 4's code explicitly forces reads from disk for some strange reason. It could also be because they use huge monolithic asset files that can't be cached.. but even then they are rarely bigger than 4gb each in most games.
From the short description I was expecting computer AI to completely construct the images, whereas in actuality a lot of the steps were manually processed. Even isolating eyes and other features and finding similar images was completed by a human.
My aged father, who's seen his son "play" video games since the late 1970's. Who went to university to study Software Engineering. Who worked on both sides of the Atlantic developing applications and games, still considers games to be for children.
This is all while he's on his Android tablet playing games!
You can't win!
"I mean we can send sea waves against slits and see interference patterns. We send a single electron against slits and see interference patterns, it's one quantum wave interfering with itself. It's certainly possible to postulate that what we see as "one" particle/wave duality consists of many near-inifitely small other particles, held together by a force so strong we haven't got a name for it."
While it's nice to speculate, to dismiss proven and documented science by experts to use your own speculative theories is foolish at best.
As said above, electrons CANNOT be subdivided, they are fundamental particles.
The Dark Ages had nothing to do with ignorance, naivety or any other way he's using the phrase. It's called the Dark Ages because it's dark, ie, we have very little recorded information about that period in history.
Despite your opinions, it is faster as shown in the benchmarks. You even start by admitting that fact and then ignore yourself. The anandtech benchmark you linked compares apples to oranges.
"Safari running on a single thread on an 6s is faster than Chrome on a single thread on the S7" is an extremely cherry picked metric that completely ignores they are different browsers and that you are inherently deciding to ignore that multicore power of the S7.
Strange fellow.
"Because the number of possible Go board positions exceeds the number of atoms in the universe, top players rely heavily on their intuition."
An algorithm, be it in silicone or a human brain can easily work on infinitely sized data sets. I'm not sure why they are implying that intuition has to be used instead of algorithms in such a scenario.
Oh really.. some time in the future a more powerful phone will be made?!!.. well I'm in shock!!.
Or is this just an iFanboi reluctantly admitting an Android phone is more powerful than the latest iphone (again), refusing not to have the last word?
Don't kid yourself, they are focused on selling overpriced hardware to maximise profits. No battery problems with a desktop mate.
The article says it perfectly in that Macs are just not good enough.

Yeah those 300 million installs have really pissed users *rolls eyes*

>And maybe he should take a lesson from Apple You mean that hardware manufacturer? Why would a software developer care about that?

Sorry for the very low brow, low intelligence remark, but "fucking stupid article" perfectly fits on this occasion.

Thats advanced. I remember having a ZX81 with 1KB of RAM with part of that being screen memory
I just like it when it's air gapped..
No, just humans interacting with it. It learns from each conversation. Humans like sex.. ergo.
Yup. Basically the cuts in the US's funding screwed over Europe's plans.
Airbus proposed this a couple of years ago for planes and I'm sure it even featured on /.
I couldn't take your post seriously once you mentioned World of Warcraft.
You're comparing apples with oranges. Both are equally impressive and cutting edge as each other.

What a majestic lady she was with a roar of a lion to match it.
"Man gets dissuaded from burglary due to load alarm".. Burglar complains..
Why, this isn't 2010.
I bought my first 2 PIs last week and the first thing my mate asked was "I wonder what games it can play". Completely missing the point /sigh.
.. an ugly shit one at that, and he's a God?
It also has something to do with PC game sales expected to create more revenue than XBONE and PS4 game sales combined this year.
