Turns out that "slams", "claps back", and "weighs" all mean the same thing in headlines; "does nothing".

That's okay, I have enough doubt to share.

It's not always discussed as such, but Hilbert's Hotel is a mathematically well defined topic and can be proved rigorously. An infinite set of rooms can be the set x1, x2,...xinf, and people can be y1, y2...yinf. You can pair every entry in these two sets. x1&y1, x2&y2,...xinf&yinf. You can't number a room without having a person in the room, and you can't find a person who doesn't have a room.

Comcast just has to show the FCC a breakdown of average bandwidth by race and they'll back off. All broadband companies have been playing racial favoritism since long before it was cool.

Ridley Scott is famous for his shit opinions. When he released The Last Duel in the middle of COVID, he complained that "them kids can't even get off their phone for 2 hours to enjoy art" as thr primary reason it wasn't making money.

Putin is gonna promise the same mineral rights that Ukraine is negotiating with, as long as they eventually capture all of Ukraine. It'll disable the peace talks and Trump will think he's gonna make a ton of money by abandoning Ukraine.

Foreign aid has hilariously good ROI. When I went to Africa, locals told me that the Bush admin introduced the concept of bug nets to prevent mosquito bites and malaria. A one-time program that probably cost Americans at most $10 drove a major cultural shift that has saved possibly millions of lives and has affected everyone. We'll literally buying goodwill.

If an asteroid fires a missile and it enters the atmosphere, is the rest of the asteroid considered a meteor?

A simple thing to check is did you plug your HDMI into the card or the motherboard? If it's in the motherboard, the card won't be used.

A 7900xt is like top 5 consumer graphics cards ever made at the moment, so 10 fps on a 15 year old game is not normal. I have the same card and just beat Control and Space Marines 2 with max settings with ray tracing and it constantly stayed above 100fps, with a vast majority of its time maxed at 144.

The first thing to do is to download CS2 and see where you're at with max graphics, you should get steady 144fps. If CS2 works, it's your games you're playing, check proton db and see if there is some common advice on settings/boot configs. Proton GE and Feral gamemode are two common tricks. There's also an option to trick games into thinking you're on a steamdeck that's becoming more common. If you see something unexpected with those configs, you may need to dig into your bios and make sure your card is behaving there, and there are some profiling tools for GPUs. You may have to update your drivers depending on your distro. Not all 7900 cards are the same, depending on the company designing the card's case, you may get different behavior on things like fans.

Their are some GUI tools that profile AMD GPUs, but I've found they don't show must more than sensors and lsusb show.

Early in the mobile gaming world, it was looking like mobile games would catch up with consoles within a few years, but then Angry Birds made more money than anyone ever imagined with half thr effort, and then Clash of Clans did the same thing again, and suddenly the idea of working hard and making a good mobile game seemed like a silly waste of time.

Actually, some movies have started popping up where they film substantial chunks on iPhones. Odds are this trend will continue and the "professional camera purists" will be considered archaic like the 35mm purists are now.

Yup, all it takes is a single set of eyes, even a mediocre sence of direction, and a decent memory for stars on the celestial sphere for one person to definitively prove the Earth is round. If you can accurately measure stars, you don't even need to do Erastosthene's challenge with the sun.

Good thing the next Assassin's Creed won't be unfinished, it's not like they have to release immediately or their parent company will go bankrupt or something like that.

They may be hiding the stats of their unannounced cards, but not hitting 32GB would be a mistake, especially since the 5090 has 32GB. In the world of AI, ram speed won't be anywhere near as important as ram quantity.

Just bought a new gaming desktop, and just upgraded another home desktop with a new GPU as well. When GPU prices triple in 6 months, I'm gonna look like a genius.

This really makes me rethink a lot of my core beliefs. I used to believe that racism is an ancient problem that we will one day overcome, but after reading this, I believe new types of racism can still be invented, and we have to fight those too.

Boto3 is an suite of AWS integration tools in case anyone else was wondering.

Yeah, half of film theory/game theory ideas are just completely absurd. He carefully filters his evidence and dismissed basic reasoning in the name of reaching an absurd conclusion. He made a video once where he assumed all wine in Game of Thrones was like 20% and just casually marched his theory forward.

Are you sure it's not because of chronic exhaustion for several months in a row instead of the sex?
