Lidar, rather than a camera. Allows it to create a 3d model of what’s in front of it without being able to take pictures itself

Also, the crazy colours girl has black hair

FWIW, showrunner Charlie Brooker says that the starting point for every episode is finding an idea he thinks is funny

It already exists. There are businesses whose model is that they rent out vram that you can offload tasks to

And for a couple of years now tech companies have been talking shout how cool it would be for computers to be just portals with all the processing power being online somewhere (as a subscription model)

Also, it’s not even vaguely gentle. Broken ribs are extremely common

Don’t quote me on this, but I think this guy was one of the people who went to the Arctic to see a 24 hour sunny day and actually accepted the evidence

The Union Jack itself only represents 3 of the 4 countries in the UK. And since the missing one, Wales, has a dragon on their flag, it seems like an easy fix that will make the country as a whole cooler

They say “average” volume. What do they mean by that? Or, more precisely, how are they measuring that? RMS? LUFS?

Probably LUFS, but even with LUFS there are ways to make perceived volume louder while remaining within a threshold

This seems like two unrelated stories. It wasn’t his decision to buy the car, nor did he design it. So it seems unlikely that he’s resigning because people don’t like the design or idea of it

Yes, Mark, chase the next thing. I’m sure that will be the one that works out for you

We can, at least, identify her exactly in the film, as she celebrates her 23rd birthday

My point is exactly what I said. I don’t know how much clearer I could have been, TBH, if my post is read in the context of the three proceeding it

“Thousands”…

Don’t do Musk’s propaganda job for him. The far-right are doing well enough in the UK without people like you amplifying their lies for them

There are definitely plenty of addictive substances which are banned in the UK

Do farms collectively use more water than data centres collectively, or does the average farm use more water than the average data centre?

Basically anything where the platform prioritises some things over others, rather than just giving you the posts/videos/whatever in order from the people you’ve subscribed to. Recommendation engines would be one example

They don’t sell as many ads, but they do sell ads. It was only a few months ago they announced that ads would be coming to their maps app. There’s ads in news, the App Store, music, and settings on iOS. Maybe more than aren’t coming to mind immediately

For now. Maintaining v2 takes resources, and google can make it more and more difficult with every update. Eventually the cost/benefit ratio is going to get too high

Excellent. Make platforms with algorithmic feeds count as publishers, too, and you can solve 90% of the world’s problems

Not quite. The point of the broken window fallacy is that had the money not been spent on the window, it would have been spent on something else. So breaking a window does generate revenue, but not necessarily more than not breaking a window

Whatever happens, the shopkeeper is in a worse position than he otherwise was

Here the point is that they’re passing the money back and forth. That’s like the AI companies right now - passing money round in a circle and that being presented as if it were the same thing as the industry as a whole making money

NVidia gives money to OpenAI, who give it to another company to build datacentres, who give it back to NVidia and NVidia’s Number Goes Up
