Damn, the first track bops. There are artifacts but somehow that adds to the quality.

Now we just need something similar to https://github.com/nogasm with a different kind of "implant" that monitors my dopamine levels and optimizes based on that.

There's a deep learning bot that can play virtual football (rocket league) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xyuh5iy5Ito

The best players in the world can still go toe to toe against three of these things, unless they choose to intentionally avoid high flying shots. In which case this bot wins. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2ZtowNHhrQ

You can mark your internet connections as metered and windows will never use those to download updates.
Whatsapp isn't open source. How do you know that the messages are actually e2e encrypted?
A meter of extension adds ~10ns of latency (speed of light).
I remember linuxtechtips using a meter long wire to connect a 3090 to a computer and it worked flawlessly.
I think what the OP is suggesting is that PCs should have external PCIE connectors for plugging in GPU modules.

The problem with wayland is that it doesn't have a killer feature and a lot of anti features (performance). I couldn't care less about this X11/wayland debate as a user.
Re:Measuring CPU core-to-core latency on Sunday September 18, 2022 @10:41PM (#32893689)
On a 5950x, the latencies for core 0 are very high if SMT is enabled, I wonder why that is?
