  1. Re:Crappy integrated graphics on Intel Wants PCs To Be More Than Just 'Personal Computers' (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    I get what you're saying but If you're a gamer and aren't using a fullsize PC, or at least a laptop that supports an external GPU box, then you picked your own poison so deserve everything you get.

    Yeah thats also what I got when I translated it from marketingspeak to English.

  3. Military AI should never be a thing on Google Promises Ethical Principles To Guide Development of Military AI (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Once a war starts, there becomes a kind of momentum that keeps them going, then those in control now need strong reasons to stop fighting.

    Fighting a war up close and personal is actually a horrific experience even if you're on the winning side. Military AI should never be a thing because removing people from personal risk and isolating them from experiencing first hand the results of their own actions means wars will become more cruel, starting and fighting wars will become more common, and wars will last even longer with even less motivation to stop them.

  4. You know this is exactly what most clueless people are going to wonder.

  5. > GPUs have increased many-fold in performance since 10 years ago.

    So what? The OP was talking about stuff like innovative new mathematical/logical approaches to performing graphics rendering, not what hardware you're doing it with.

    Do you not understand that just doing the same old shit on a bigger chip every year is actually not scientific progress?.

  6. I propose a new word: on There Are Real Reasons For Linux To Replace ifconfig, netstat and Other Classic Tools (utoronto.ca) · · Score: 5, Funny

    SysD: (v). To force an unnecessary replacement of something that already works well with an alternative that the majority perceive as fundamentally worse.
    Example usage: Wow you really SysD'd that up.

  7. > Lawyers? I suppose, maybe. Seems far more likely he'll just crush them with Monopoly power

    Isn't that the same thing?

  8. > "From where I sit, it feels like there are new competitors coming up every day"

    This could actually be true, but only for a few seconds until Zuckerberg smacks each little start-up into oblivion from his high castle using a team of elite lawyers.

    His whole job probably feels like one giant game of whack-a-mole.

    I couldn't agree more.
    The "No cost is to great to save any/every human life" mentality is definitely leading to the end of all natural selection in humans and the inevitable consequence of a real devolution problem.

  11. History is fiiled with times that humans have attempted to improve on nature, usually by introducing some living thing into an ecosystem where it wasn't before.
    Its almost impossible to find even one example where the result has actually been successful and not actually caused far more of a problem, especially to the other parts of the totally unprepared ecosystem.

    Of course. Are you suggesting that is worse than breeding the numbers up?

    Because nearly all of what you know as Linux is actually GNU and was written by Stallman and co?
