I had the 6600 GT, insane price-perf ratio, kept it for like 8 years

It's also not the first time humans are seeing the far side of the moon, Ronald Evans orbitted the Moon 75 times in the orbital module during Apollo 17 (and other ppl did before him), so he also saw it right? The only unique thing is that its the first mission where they dont really do anything more interesting than looking at the far side

Apollo 8 did pretty much the same thing so not a first there either, but a first for today’s Orion architecture.

Really cool, numerical stability can be tricky as errors can accumulate with each operation and suddenly 53 bits of precision is not enough.

Also nice to see an article thats not about AI or politics


war crimes don't have anything to do with Rome, Rome is only about prosecution by ICC

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_war_crimes


And while the US is a member of the UN and therefore subject to the jurisdiction of the International Court of Justice (not the ICC), as a permanent member of the UN Security Council, it also has the power to unilaterally veto any enforcement action (as do China, France, Russia, and the UK).

Ok? The ICC prosecutes war crimes in complementarity. The ICJ does not. Not sure what UN Security Council has to do with anything? I can't tell if this is AI. Add to your slop context you're probably thinking of IHL.

What you are leaving out is that governments can choose whether the ICC definition of warcrime applies to their territory. Iran has chosen that the Rome treaty, and the ICC, does not apply to Iran. It has even used this fact to request the ICC drop cases against them.

We all know why: 99.99% of warcrimes on Iranian territory were committed by Iran's islamist regime.

So Rome statute warcrimes are a legal impossibility in Iran. The Rome statute, that law and that definition of warcrime does not apply to anything happening in Iran.


You do recognize the contradiction saying Rome Statute has nothing to do with war crimes, then saying Rome Statute is how you prosecute war crimes right?

Are there really that many small players? Aren't they all just subbrands of Xiaomi, Lenovo and Oppo?

There are a bunch of subbrands but there are also a lot of genuine small Android phone companies, especially in China.

Some of these serve some interesting niches that might now disappear due to this DRAM supply issue, e.g. Unihertz for extra small phones or CAT for extra durable worksite phones.


Is there any 'guide' to this ecosystem...because 'odd niche communications gear' is always interesting.

Is it a coincidence that Oppo sounds a lot like how Chinese people sound when they say Apple?

Transsion

On the plus side there is now quite a lot of drone on drone combat saving people's lives

Persuade someone to run a prospective trial and show the outcomes. Everything else is bullshit

Daycare is like 3000eur/month for 3+ years. You can probably lease a double decker for that money

I guess that's how it is in America. If you are lucky enough to live in the Nordics, you pay far, far less, sometimes nothing at all. I don't think anywhere near 3000 a month for 3 kids is normal in most of other EU either.

So, over here car seats may be a much bigger factor than daycare costs.


3000 eur/month/kid is in the Netherlands. You do get state support (~50% so it's still expensive) if both parents work enough hours.

that's crazy, state kindergarten cost like 50-60EUR here in Czechia, private ones start around 400EUR

Jo, holt zemský ráj to napohled

It's free for over-3s in Scotland, and while I can't quite remember what it cost for a 2-year-old, I know it was around the £500/month mark.

You could put two children through the local Montessori nursery for three grand a month, but frankly the parents (and children) there are a bit odd. Nice enough, just a bit odd.


I work in research and people post their papers there. Signal to noise ratio is getting worse and worse though.. My "favorite" was probably an AI generated post (3 em dashes in one sentence, its not this.its that. And so son) about how bad AI is and how it hallucinates.

“This wasn’t just AI generated — it was a paragon of hallucinated AI slop.”

And why not, when linear regression works, it works so well it's basically magic, better than intelligence, artificial or otherwise
