Although in this case Nvidia's ray-tracing does actually utilize AI. Both for image upscaling as well as (iirc) optimizing the number of rays needed to be cast for a mostly accurate image.

I think it's more indicative of how absurd 60° celsius is that it seems like it must be Fahrenheit.
This announcement doesn't have anything to do with cryptocurrencies or nfts. I'm not sure if I like the idea yet either, but please don't conflate it with all that other scammy nonsense.
This seems pretty clearly AI-written. Which I suppose isn't inherently an issue except that this takes a single thought ("AUR has more packages than NixOS") and stretches it out to multiple paragraphs without adding any additional value. Why do this? A lemmy post doesn't need to look like a blog post from some tech company. Just state your thought or ask a question and post it. This format does nothing but waste the time of readers.
kinda, the "were" actually comes from old Germanic "wer", meaning "man". Werewolf just means "man wolf" lol. So I suppose a warehouse could be a human who turns into a house at full moon
As a user of the GNU Guix operating system, and a big fan of the GNU Emacs editor...
yeah, you're completely right. Linux is a perfectly apt name.
yeah, Guix is great. I tried to use NixOS for a while but I couldn't get over how much I dislike Nix as a language. Scheme is way way better imo. Guix definitely isn't as polished Nix given its lower number of users but it's still a very pleasant experience.
I wouldn't say Rust is that easy to learn. You can get the basics pretty quickly, but it feels a bit frustrating until you get over the initial learning hurdle. Extremely satisfying language though, I strongly recommend it.
Yeah, that's a good point. The USSR was most definitely at a disadvantage compared to the other countries at the time due to circumstances outside its control.
I'm not sure why you think USSR having lower GDP than western nations is some kind of a gotcha here
I'm just not sure I'd consider economic growth to be the most important factor when the overall GDP was lower than other countries. Maybe its economy could have far surpassed the capitalist countries given time, or maybe it would have stagnated at a much lower point - there's no way to know. Which is why I don't think this graph proves very much.
It's not a "QAnon-esque conspiracy theory". Russia's online influence in American politics has been fairly well documented. That being said, I think it's somewhat unhealthy to assume everyone who says something controversial is dishonest or a troll. Not good for discourse.
