I kinda doubt porn would be a problem with Sora, just like it's not a problem with Dall-e. The model is locked down in openai's servers and open source model is no where as good yet. Even if there is a comparable downloadable models, it'll be computationally expensive I doubt teens can freely run it.

We calculated the ink based on an HP 206 printer cartridge, selling for $71.99 per unit.

Wait a minute, those are laser printer toner cartridge, not ink cartridge!

Can't wait to see updated version of this gif

12h offset is where it causes the maximum confusion to society because the date changes right in the middle of the day. In our personal and professional live, we never considered the date can change right in the middle of the day, causing wide variety of minor inconvenience in our daily life. Some examples of minor inconveniences:

• Celebrating new year at noon. No more firework shows (could be good for the environment?).
• Is today your friend's birthday yet? Or is it in the afternoon?
• should we celebrate christmas on 24th-25th or 25th-26th? Will Santa sneaks into our house at noon?
• and possibly more minor inconveniences...

I think the compromise would be the country/region that proposes global time should get the +12h offset. If the benefit really outweigh the pain for them, then they can deal with such a large offset themselves and spare the rest of the world from the brunt of the pain.

I am just arguing that I think the end result would be better. Not much better, but better.

It would be better for whichever countries near the 0 offset (eu if using utc), but massive downgrade for no real benefit for countries near +12h offset (asia pacific). This will be seen as another instance of the west flexing their global power and will take generations to adapt. But if the offset were reversed (asia pacific at 0, the west at +12h) things would go much smoother there.

People that proposes to replace local timezones with global UTC must be living in europe where it doesn't impact them much if we do abolish the timezone. Now consider people that lives in the other side of the planet. Most people are active during the day, yet for them, the day will end right in the afternoon under the new system. So you tell your friend "hey, let's meet tomorrow", then your friend would be like "do you mean this afternoon, or in the morning next day?". No way people living in the asia pacific would accept this without military intervension.

Entertainment industry is literally a mafia so this is on brand.

Meanwhile Nvidia continues doing whatever they want instead of cooperating with everyone like Intel and AMD.

If this goes well, future video compression might take a massive leap. Imagine downloading 2 hours movies with just 20kb file size because it just a bunch of prompts under the hood.

Geez, orangutan can't catch a break. Their home got taken for plantation, their women got sold to prostitution, now their meat are used for cookies flavoring?

1. Israel troops shot Hamas fighters.
2. Hamas fighters got hurt, went to hospital
3. "We found Hamas in this hospital"
4. ????

And let the brits enjoy UTC+0 like nothing happened while the rest of the word scrambles to adapt to the new time system? This is tyranny! I demand a new system where my region is the one with UTC+0 instead!

Finally some good news from Google!

Those modern high speed USB controllers are not free. They used up available PCIe lanes. The more you add the less PCIe lanes available in the motherboard.

If you have a lot of low speed USB peripherals, just buy some large USB 2.0 hubs so you can reserve the high speed ports for high speed applications such as external disks.

Wait until a Japanese studio shows up with an S-tier game.

It should be able to run all windows apps, though you can use microsoft store to install apps.

Tesla is just recognizing that each cybertruck owner has different color preferences, so they deliver the cybertruck without any paint or coating so the owners can coat it themselves /s

There is no LLM, it just used to recognize simple commands such as "turn on kitchen light". What the "conversation agent" can do is very limited, though you can extend it to recognize custom commands. It's not comparable to Google Assistant/Siri, let alone ChatGPT.

What if I lose my phone? What if you steal my phone?

Bitwarden supports passkeys, which are stored in your bitwarden vault. If you lost your device, as long as you can still access your bitwarden account, your passkey should still usable.

I can login with the same passkey on Firefox and Chrome using bitwarden. Too bad it doesn't work on mobile yet.
