    Shreyas1 reacted to porina in Nvidia now offering day passes for $4 and $8. But at least we got G-Sync and Reflex right? Right?   
    The problem with that is the monthly rate is cheaper from the 3rd day on. The day rate is only cheaper if you only intend to use at most 2 days in a month.

    In those situations, you'd be lucky if they can even find the laptop. Especially in the case of a structure fire since the rubble is usually bulldozed immediately after fire marshals are done investigating. Often it's unsafe to allow people to dig for items themselves or risk the safety of the fire crews to retrieve stuff.

    This is key. Rockstar would be insane from a financial standpoint not to prioritize online 2 because of the sheer amount of money that GTA online is making them. 
     
    Just look at how activision prioritizes Warzone over "core" CoD multiplayer and I would expect Rockstar to do the same resources wise.

    I would not pay over 50 bucks for a streaming device, since I can literally buy a controller for that price and stream to my phone. Unless I'm missing something, I doubt the experience streaming to a streaming device is going to be significantly better than streaming to my phone

    I don't think researchers or labs are going anywhere, regardless of the type of work being done. If anything, this will just make many parts of the research process more efficient. So there will still be a place for the next accidental discovery to happen.
     
    If you've ever read a scientific paper, at the end there's always a section about future work; things that can be improved upon. If we have a model read several papers in a given field, take the main idea of those papers and the limitations of them, then we could have a much better idea of that field and where it is headed.
     
    At that point, we (people or "AI") could easily design new experiments now that we know the limitations and trajectory of the entire field.
     
    When these knowledge gaps and areas for potential advancement are exposed to a wider audience, that opens up more people to design experiments and conduct them relating to the field. Which speeds up progress. 
     
    When it comes to things like literature reviews, in the near future I think that can largely be automated as well. Meaning that it will be much easier for people to get a large aggregation of data on any given topic.

    Shreyas1 got a reaction from Quackers101 in The Human Brain Project Creates an AI That Runs On a Simulated Human Brain, Down to the Individual Neurons   
    There is a bigger scientific/philosophical issue here. While something like being able to learn spatial objects in a maze is easy to quantify (after all, we have been doing it for ages with rats), something subjective like being able to quantify that another entity can experience emotions is much harder to prove.
     
    In fact there are some philosophies that state that the only entity you can prove that has a consciousness/subjective experience is yourself (look up solipsism). Right now with how little we know about these topics it will be basically impossible to prove whether an AI has emotions. I mean we dont even know whether certain animals (such as insects) are capable of experiencing pain or not, much less more complex emotions.
     
    Hence it might be truly impossible to prove that an AI can feel emotions like a human. But you could argue that it's irrelevant, as long as the AI understands enough about human emotions to do its job effectively it is ultimately unnecessary to know what it feels.
     
    This is discussion about the far future though. The paper isn't anywhere near simulating a whole CA1 region of hippocampus, much less a whole hippocampus, or whole brain. 
     
    No one. This model seems to be built from the ground up with 15 neurons to replicate circuits found in the hippocampus of everyone.
     

     
     
    Here is the entire circuit. It was simulated in a computer with python it seems.

    As a steam deck owner, I can say that the display resolution being too low is definitely not an issue in my experience. I would much rather have a product that keeps the same resolution and has a longer battery life as a result.
     
    I don't think going from 720p to 1080p  or even 1440p is going to be such a big deal when the screen is very small and you are holding it at a reasonable distance

    "Double the performance"
     
    So going from 800p to 1080p and from 60Hz to 120Hz does not seems like "Double the performance" will be enough.
     
    For the games I play on Steam Deck I could run those at 120FPS even with the SD performance since games like these are not demanding at all.
    For anything more demanding I run it at 40Hz/FPS just to get more battery life.
     
    One big thing that his ASUS handheld may not have though.... can you put it to sleep in middle of the game and then resume without issues?

    Ngl when we get AI generated music on the level of what stable diffusion can do for art I might prefer that to human made music 
     
    Also would be cool to see an AI that could extend/shorten pieces

    Shreyas1 reacted to LAwLz in No more sideloading for you || Android 14 could prevent users from sideloading outdated apps ||   
    I just downloaded Cut the Rope version 3.45.0 and Temple Run version 1.21.1 (the latest versions I could find) and this is what I found:
     
    Temple Run:
    minSdkVersion - 19
    targetSdkVersion - 31
    maxSdkVersion - Not set
     
     
    Cut The Rope:
    minSdkVersion - 19
    targetSdkVersion - 31
    maxSdkVersion - Not set
     
     
    So both of these games target Android 12 and will have no issue. I mean, with these rather simple apps (simple as in they are self contained and don't need many permissions) the change that needs to be done is often just changing a single number, so it's not a surprise that they have been updated since the developer still exists.
     
    I decided to also look into version 1.6.1-12 of Temple Run (published in late 2014) and that targets version 19, which is Android 4.4. So that version won't be available for sideloading unless you use adb with the new flag, or use an Android version that disregards this check.
    So I wouldn't be worried. Even if there are some old games that are no longer updated (Temple Run and Cut the Rope are still updated) there will be at least two ways around it.
    I think this change improves security for everyone, and the few handful of people who really want/need to install some app that been abandoned for 8+ years will still have ways around it.

    Shreyas1 reacted to CarlBar in All Flights in US Grounded For a Few Hours After FAA Computer systems Glitch   
    Update on this story. A worker that was getting the backups and active copy synchronised accidently deleted several critical system files which is what caused the outage.
     
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-64341873
     
    Given the tendency of a lot of critical systems to run on really old hardware and software i wouldn't be surprised to find that the system isn't compatible with off the shelf backup methods and they where resorting to manual copy paste with the worker probably trying to delete files on the backup copy and instead deleting them on the live copy instead. Easy to understand but oof, baaaad system of doing things.

    Shreyas1 got a reaction from vertigo220 in iPhone 14 has issue where it calls 911 on rollercoasters   
    On the other hand I feel like this is just penalizing amusement park operators for something out of their control. Sure, they can put signs up telling people to turn off their phones or leave them in the cubbies, but it's not like they can search and take away the phones before every ride either.
     
    The charge should go to apple, as they are the ones creating this automatic system. But if a law tried to pass doing that we know that either any large company would just try and fight it in court (wasting everyone's time), or it would be so small that it wouldn't affect them at all and they would rather just pay the small fee than do anything about it

    Update: Turns out it was due to a corrupt file (or database entry) that was present in both the live as well as backup systems?
