I imagine any reasonable traffic law would forbid drivers from impeding traffic like that. You might be able to do it somewhat discreetly, but it’s still a matter of enforcement, and you can bet blue nonces will suddenly start caring about enforcing traffic laws.

Edit: UK Road Traffic Act

If a person drives a mechanically propelled vehicle on a road or other public place without due care and attention, or without reasonable consideration for other persons using the road or place, he is guilty of an offence.

Until now I was under the impression that this was the goal of these notices:

If you remix, transform, or build upon the material, you must distribute your contributions under the same license as the original.

Because if an LLM ingests a comment with a copyright notice like that, there’s a chance it will start appending copyright notices to it’s own responses, which could technically, legally, maybe make the AI model CC BY-NC-SA 4.0? A way to “poison” the dataset, so that OpenAI is obliged to distribute it’s model under that license. Obviously there’s no chance of that working, but it draws attention to AI companies breaking copyright law.

(also, I have no clue about copyrights)

Thanks for the context. I still don’t really trust the efforts to decarbonize oil, and I’d rather see it downsized or replaced (with e-fuels for example), than building new plants that are more efficient. Except we’re so reliant on oil we can’t just use less of it, so the options are limited.

What exactly is the rationale behind sending essentially a carbon tax paid by German citizens to the opposite end of the world? Other than potential for oversights and fraud, obviously. Instead of funding renewables in Germany, the money is used to “reduce CO2 emissions” during fossil fuel extraction, what the fuck?

For every apologist that goes:

If Christianity is a man made religion then why does it go against man’s desires?

There is another that says:

God wrote his morality into our hearts, and since _some biblical commandments align with our morality, that means the Bible is true

Make up your minds, folks.

Nice argument, unfortunately I don’t care about laws of physics

Isn’t this specifically about sand for construction which needs to be coarse enough? For glass packaging you melt that stuff anyway, SiO₂ is SiO₂. Also I imagine the amount of sand needed for glass bottles would be way smaller than what construction industry uses, even less so if you recycle.

Turns out the death of MSAA was actually quite founded! Here’s a great Digital Foundry video on anti-aliasing piped link | youtube

tl;dw MSAA only affects geometry, so while it worked fine for older titles, it can’t handle textures, normal maps, shading etc.

Glad it works for you. Since I upgraded to a 1440p monitor (I still have the same GPU) I went from comfortable high-ultra settings to mid-high settings + FSR Quality in more demanding titles. From the games I played in both 1080p and 1440p, I’d say that less GPU-intensive titles definitely look better in high-res, but I found the overall experience quite whelming.

Simply playing on a higher res monitor won’t necessarily give you better visuals if you don’t have the GPU power to match settings, however at that point it’s not “higher res = better visuals” but “more powerful PC = better visuals” which, duh, of course it will look better.

probably the coldest take someone can make about recent tech that I’ve seen, and it’s being presented as a hot take

That’s exactly what the “we have you surrounded” meme template conveys (at least according to my understanding): a popular opinion, but ironically presented as a fringe opinion.

So no, this isn’t really intended this as a “hot take”, there seems to be a decent amount of people who dislike TAA for example. I’m pointing out a trend in the industry, that devs are using temporal or upscaling tools to make the game run/look better, and GPU vendors support those tools to squeeze out the most fps from their cards. At this point TAA is the standard AA method and is integral to how some games are rendered, and upscaling is advertised as basically free* performance. Unfortunately, by its nature, all this temporal tech doesn’t work too well at low framerates and resolutions, a scenario where it would be very useful.

I would agree that most artifacts and the softening effects of upscaling will be less visible on higher density screens, or when you’re sitting further away from a screen. Unless your TAA/upscaling implementation is absolutely botched, in which case it will always looks garbage, but that’s not really the fault of a specific technology.
