"Hey Israel called and they asked about when we're going to delete all the posts celebrating dead Israelis? Sorry Linda are you still there? You've gone silent. Linda???"

Only 2 people were killed in Arrival, I don't want to get all Stalin but is that a huge number?

But the internet told me this was going to be shit

TFW instead of a console and VR headset you get Valve's worst reviewed game since Artifact

What's the current version of SteamOS

Guarantee you the FSR-DLSS gap will be filled shortly after AMD has competitive AI coprocessors on their cards. People say a lot about all the training DLSS does on NVIDIAs cloud blah blah but the real reason it's better is because it runs on hardware that is otherwise idle and so can just do more without eating into latency or performance. It's the same reason XeSS on Intel GPUs is better than FSR.

What would really be impressive is if AMD can get FSR to leverage the AI cores on all three cards. If the goal of being "open" is trying to nullify NVIDIAs advantage then that would go a long way to killing DLSS as a point of distinction.

Wait, there's a University for Rice?

Why does Mr. Vader not just simply login to the droids to find the rebels?

Yeah and so it's not simple for them to provide the necessary logistics while taking into account their other priorities.

It wouldn't have gotten nearly as much visibility if gamers didn't know who the dude was

Which is what a malevolent AI capable of mass misinformation operations would say

The problem is we're not treating it like an emergency.

During COVID world governments provided basically infinite resources to promising vaccine candidates. We developed brand new types of vaccines for a novel virus in a third of the time it takes us to make existing vaccines for well known viruses. We are not doing the same for promising battery technologies.

We could also be regulating the market for smarter use of the lithium we have. Lithium batteries for stationary mass storage ("big batteries") are completely pointless, except maybe as part of virtual power networks. Subsidising and incentivising recycling and recovery of lithium from waste is another low hanging fruit we seem to not be bothering with.

Absolutely it's true for a global emergency threatening to destroy the global ecosystem, a local ecosystem and cultural site is a sensible sacrifice (not withstanding that we shouldn't be in this scenario in the first place.)

But we have barely scratched the surface in terms of alternative options and it's fair to be frustrated when you're the one expected to sacrifice when other options have not really been tried.

You said it facetiously but in reality COVID really did kill almost 50% more conservatives than liberals.

Conservative governments around the world made the connection that a virus that mostly killed old people was going to be bad news for their polling if left uncontrolled. Only in the US did conservatives seem to do not only the exact opposite, but added anti-mask, anti-lockdown and anti-vaccination on top - as if they were trying to get their voters killed.

Biden beat Trump by 10,000 votes in Georgia. Thanks antivaxxers!

Gamers don't know who he is so probably better

You understand food does not come through a pipe right

In practical terms how do you organise aid for a state you're at war with? How do you ensure the safety of your aid workers in a way that doesn't involve your military, but also doesn't just provide new hostages? How do you stop your own aid workers from getting in the way of military operations?

I guarantee you Israel wouldn't do this if they had a better option, this will only radicalise the normal people who start to go hungry and thirsty.

Sorry, did you mean to say Dutton rather than Albanese? There's nothing divisive about indigenous people having an advocate.

It's one app

In some ways it was cynically smart for Albanese to start with the Voice out of the gate. If it succeeds he's got a hell of a notch on his belt, but if it fails it is in many ways more valuable for him.

Firstly, the flank of the party energised by the landslide election get a big reality check. Albanese knows the path to progress in Australia requires patience, pragmatism and no sudden movements that could spook the public. You don't need to ban coal mines when you know most of the ones you approve won't survive long enough to export any coal.

Secondly, it exposes Dutton and the LNP's strategy, the media's alignment and how social media disinformation disseminates, long before the election. This gives Albanese a map of the political minefield he's walking and where he needs to focus his rhetoric and policy to minimise the attack surface susceptible to Dutton's very limited repertoire.

Finally, governments that lose referendums tend to win elections. Dutton hasn't just exposed himself to Albanese, but to the Australian public. The people Dutton is telling to "if you don't know, vote no" will forget the referendum by the next election - but the inner city electorates that went Teal at the last election, the ones Dutton has to win back to even get a sniff of government, they will never forget.

The smart political play for Dutton would have been to support the voice, instead he's shown Albanese his hand and likely doomed himself.
