AMD plans for FSR4 to be fully AI-based — designed to improve quality and maximize power efficiency
  • I'm very much not an expert, but I'd imagine it's similar to how AES-NI works: the task is CPU/GPU-intensive until specific instructions are designed to do whatever blackmagicfuckery level math is required, and once it's in hardware it's more both power efficient and faster.

  • Magsafe Steering Wheel! (For racing games)
  • My point was, and remains, that if you're gonna comment on this dude's cool thing he made, maybe try not to be a pedantic asshat when the aforementioned dude who created the cool thing essentially calls it Loctite instead of thread locker.

  • Magsafe Steering Wheel! (For racing games)
  • Magsafe is the marketing term for a specific layout and design of magnets for a specific purpose that is crucial to the function of the cool AF thing OP made, which you didn't bother mentioning at all...

  • Burning Up
  • That's not either scale being intuitive or unintuitive, that's your familiarity with one over the other.

    I got curious so I did some research on the definitions and why everything is this way. It looks like they originally picked the coldest thing they had (brine, possibly inspired by the coldest weather), the freezing point of water, human body temperature, and the boiling point of water. It was supposed to be brine at 0, water freezing at 30, the human body at 90, and water boiling at 240. Fahrenheit then recalibrated his scale slightly to make his math (and thermometer design and production) easier, and also because he noticed water actually boiled at 212 by his newly modified scale.

    Looking at it like that work the context of what they had at the time and what they were trying to do, it makes a lot of sense.

  • California Governor Unveils Emergency Rules To Ban Hemp Products With Any 'Detectable Amount' Of THC
  • I am aware of the difference. The terminology is confusing and I was kinda stoned while typing that.

    He specifically said "any detectable amount of total THC" though, which means the difference is moot. Total THC is THCA in this context.

    EDIT:

    So there is no miscommunication, yeah federal law allows a max of 0.3% D9 THC at the pre-harvest test (I forget the exact specifics, it's been a while). Newsom said CBD that contains any detectable percentage of total THC is banned in the state of California by executive order with no oversight. The scientific facts of the latter are not the same as the former and Newsom is an idiot for thinking they are.

  • California Governor Unveils Emergency Rules To Ban Hemp Products With Any 'Detectable Amount' Of THC
  • Newsom announced new emergency regulations on Friday that would outlaw hemp products with any “detectable amount of total THC.” Hemp products that don’t have THC would be further limited to five servings per package, and sales would be restricted to adults 21 and older.

    So:

    A. He banned all hemp flower and most hemp-derived products in CA in one fell swoop because he doesn't understand how the relation of THC:CBD works in the plant or the entourage effect or the fact that federally it's a total of 0.3% maximum, which ain't getting anybody high.

    B. He limited packaging for what reason, exactly? It doesn't get you high. Even if it did, why?

    C. An age limit, that I can agree with. It should probably be 18 for this like it is most everywhere else in the US, but if you want people to be able to die for their country and can't have a CBD gummy, go ahead Newsom.

    Age, testing, and labeling requirements are great. Unscientific regulations by executive order that will make people's lives worse are not.

  • Amazon Bans Its Drivers From Moving Their Own Lips Too Much At Work [Update]
  • As much as watching everything literally burn would be exceptionally cathartic, it wouldn't be useful. If you ask me, these CEOs and rich bastards can work X hours a week scrubbing toilets or otherwise contributing to society.

    If you refuse to contribute to society cause you were rich and think you're hot shit, then jail. Something like the minimum security prison in Norway where the point is rehabilitation. If you've committed war crimes or premeditated murder or otherwise genuinely can't be offered even that much freedom, then real prison, but still a decent real prison.

    Putin and his ilk are a different matter. What was good enough for Mussolini would be just as good for them.

  • Amazon Bans Its Drivers From Moving Their Own Lips Too Much At Work [Update]
  • This tech isn't new, exactly, though it's probably significantly more sophisticated now. I used to work at a company that used similar monitoring a decade ago. Theirs was (allegedly) triggered only by the motion of the vehicle, I believe DriveCam was the brand name. It sucked back then, I'd imagine it sucks worse now.

    My guess with the reality of the situation is Amazon or their insurance company required installation of the cameras and a low-to-mid level manager somewhere noticed that singing was triggering them, so the manager told people to stop and eventually you end up with this news story. Amazon gets at worst plausible deniability and shitty things continue.

  • Unions are what you need.
  • Whatever else he may have said, Marx's version was much better. "From each according to his ability, to each according to his need" is a much better way to run society as a whole.

  • Is there a good, modern, widely accepted, learning Linux resource?
  • There is and there isn't.

    Some things are pretty standardized. Users and groups, permissions, systemd (usually), a lot of the underlying architecture is pretty much the same everywhere.

    A lot is very much not standardized. Booting, networking, desktop environments, what specific software is installed, the specific package manager in use, I could go on and on.

    To learn the former, the book I recommend is the most accessible thing I've read. You don't need to read everything, but portions were very helpful. To learn the latter, your distro will have the info you need, or should at least tell you what to look up elsewhere.

  • Nov 5th? Is he planning to blow up parliament?
  • If you have the opportunity, vote-by-mail is genuinely awesome also. I qualify in my state because I'm chronically ill, and it's one of the few silver linings. I get a ballot in the mail every time an election happens like clockwork, I have time to do my research and it's significantly harder to forget.
