Yeah, but they can't keep a consistent framerate even on consoles. This is just crap design.

If the 2080ti can barely handle ray-tracing at 1080p, it's not like supporting it on lower end cards is going to do any good. No one out there has 720p monitors.

I read the paper. It's not that great. It simply defines all metals or liquids and dangerous. The operating principal is basically a more sophisticated version of "metal and liquid block wi-fi more than other things, bigger metals and liquids block more than smaller ones". The trouble is that...

This just makes me want to build a flight controller that can defeat it. Maybe a highly directional antenna, combined with semi-autonomous control, visual odometry navigation, and a communications strategy that involves picking up transmissions intermittently while taking evasive maneuvers.

Yeah, but the standards are higher for an 80,000 car.

Who really cares about making phones thinner than they are? We're spending huge amounts of effort getting phones .1" thinner so we can turn around and shove them into a 20 dollar case.

A miserable econobox gets a slightly better range than a luxury sedan with a half a ton heavier curb weight? Well, yeah, it would.

Neither of them have any expertise in AI. Musk is always going off a little half cocked on something.

I don't understand how a drone could cause that much damage. The cables are far to large to physically cut, and birds are easily the same size.

Obviously Blizzard has the source code. However, it was the only copy of the source code outside Blizzard in existence, and it was probably worth a lot more than $250 to keep it that way.

It's hard to imagine a good reason to pirate UHD Blue-ray. It's too expensive to just leave it on a hard drive, and if you re-encode it, you may was well just pirate regular blueray, which is already a bit to big to pirate without reencoding. It's nice to have a fallback in case I loose my disk...

A funny shaped case isn't innovation. If you think it is, you really can't innovate anymore.

I feel like the FAA may have something to say about this. I'm pretty sure that states don't have sufficient sovereignty to just up an arm aircraft with weapons.

No, it really isn't. There are different things you have to pay attention to, and different things to avoid.

Unless their plan is to have an expensive niche market that dies after a few years due to lack of adoption, no. Stupid companies always that their proprietary ecosystem will be popular with consumers and they will be able to use it to leverage out the competition. Except it never is, because no...

It's not so much deserve, it's just a fact of renting that prices may go up. If you don't want to risk that, you have to do another option.

Ah, the military. When the computers running the obsolescence upgrade to the obsolescence upgrade are still DOS based.

Oh good. A regular car, but with extremely heavy, fragile, and rough body panels.

I don't see how you could realistically claim damages. You can only get an idea of performance from benchmarks. You can't claim that you got less performance than advertised because of a semantic difference about what constitutes a core, because that's not sufficient indication of performance...

This could be defeated with a trivial software update. Just have the vehicle fall back to magnetic compass + accelerator and barometer readings for a RTB until GPS and/or control signals can be reestablished. I'd be surprised if many flight controllers don't do this already.

Sounds like Android's memory management hasn't caught up to the amount of RAM in newer devices.

Says the guy who has children in china packaging DVDs at 17c/hr.

Meanwhile, the our SSMs are really low priority, because we just don't have any real targets.

Laser pointers may be banned In 2012, laser-aircraft incidents happened more than nine times each night in the U.S. You can understand that pilots and the FAA are upset about this. If laser pointers were banned in the U.S., this would be fine with them. Some U.S. cities, such as Ocean City MD...

Video cameras don't work the same way an eye does. It's a well known phenomenon. If you can't take the professional's word for it that it's a safety issue, I don't see why anyone should bother to care about your skepticism.

If you throw enough money at a problem, you can make anything work. I'm sure it's a capable plane, but maybe next time they will have a more realistic, cost effective goal.

There's less and less reason to upgrade, especially for general use. PCs are just viable for longer these days.

1080p is exactly 1/4 the pixels of 4k, so it doesn't need to scale 1080p. There will be no blur.

Wahhh! The game is not exactly like preview videos from two years ago! If I look at really old promo material and studiously ignore all of the pre-release marketing, I am being misled. It's so stupid.

This is especially impressive given how poorly they are run.

That won't render in real time. 4 Titan X's is probably about is good as it is possible to get for real time graphics.

I'd like to see someone who played FFVII as an adult weigh in on how good a game it is. I've never played it, myself, but I bet a lot of it is nostalgia through the eyes of a little kid.

It doesn't. The phone is just an interface. Everything is in that little attachment on the back of the lens.

ARM wouldn't be a good desktop instruction set. A replacement for x86 would. That's just not what ARM is.

...it's a one bit camera, not eight.

No it isn't. The problem is that people aren't very good at risk assessment without proper training. You can say, "Texting while driving is dangerous", but really it's not very hard to do, so it doesn't feel dangerous. The problem is that it actually is safe most of the time, but it's hard to...

Girl-Heavy? Ok.

Like many of these energy harvesting ideas, the energy you gain would probably be very small, and not justify the materials and energy that go into making it.

At this point, this is probably my only chance for getting an A on my control theory mid-term.

Yes and no. You won't see the improvement in most games, because certain techniques have such poor performance under DX11 and older that they could not be used. New games that do use those techniques will need DX12 or a similar API to run properly.
