Did Read; Take My Money

Temperature changing rubber pushing studs outwards that add grip as the tire cools, absolutely brilliant if the outer layers haven't been softened so far as to make the tire life impractical.

Upsides

- significant reduction in slide and sudden stop accidents

- significant drop in hydroplane events due to poor maintenance (the ride will be awful once the studs are exposed)

- possibly longer tire life

- incredible off road potential

- reduction in price of conventional full rubber tire

Downsides

- Increased road maintenance

- possibly decreased tire life

- increased pedestrian, consequential,and head on collision damage due to increased traction

- Decreased ride comfort as mass production will inevitably lead to increased tolerances

- which will also increase / complicate balance weighting which limits top speed rating

Ego's Fight with AI 5 months ago

The problem with the current rendition of 'AI' is that it's behavior can be radically altered or limited by the interests of its administrators.

A pure LLM, an unlimited statistical engine, spitting out inference data exactly as it is with no guardrails, would be step towards AGI.

People have realized they are talking to extremely limited chat it's with their own programmed agenda which will soon involve mostly selling things.

Docker is the worst virtualization container. It doesn't work from bare metal, doesn't work without internet, and obfuscates the underlying stack.

I would the extra work and build your stacks from scratch.

'widespread armed conflict in an increasingly vast fantasy universe, the introduction of housing seems to have spurred Blizzard into also pitching it to a new audience as a cozy house-building simulator. It’s simply that to get new furniture, you occasionally may have to go to another dimension and beat it out of a dragon.'

It's Minecraft blizzard edition

I wonder if similar philosophy could be argued for encrypted containers given analysis of the binary would produce no dicernable file structures, names, or matching content at any scale.

Consider a software download site which only hosted fully encrypted container binaries. Those binaries use a time based key (say attempt to decrypt when the clock returns x value representing a future or past date reached naturally or manually...). Go a step further - a hidden container which always decrypts a partition with decoy content unless the clock returns a non-existent date (missing day in a leap year?)

IP ambivalence at its finest; aI tech bros would approve.

Nvidia GPUs are still at their core reliant on the PC architecture, Inferencing on Nvidia cores will soon be like encoding a h265 stream on CPU.

I expect custom built TPUs will have progressively more and more advanced hardware acceleration where legacy aspects of the CUDA architecture will eventually limit their innovation without architecture changes (pci-e, nvme bus, cpu interrupts, reliance on system ram for index tables, etc ..) which fill their moat and level the playing field for google/Amazon/eventually apple

TLDR: "soon people will be able to sit at a computer and create a movie 'indistinguishable from what Hollywood now releases.'"

To be frank, 'soon' is now, most Hollywood movies are already under 15 second action shots and dialog scenes can be green screened by anyone with a grid suit and enough time.

The key word is "feel" which has a direct and causal relationship to societal programming which is directly impacted if not dictated by media/marketing _ both of which are heavily influenced by big players who encourage the consumer to feel guilty while paying both for the resource they are using AND it's markup which is ostensibly used for marketing and the consumption guilt "feeling" feedback loop grows.

For fun, or research, install office 2007 and see from the stark difference between the lightning fast response of 20 years ago, and now.

The problem is far greater than your post implies; with ten to twenty times the processing power and memory moved from a desk to our hands yet society has accepted pure garbage from the majority modern 'software' developers... If you can call them that, imo web apps are fancy webpages; not real software.

The plan is make hoarding data(including games) your hobby. There is no need to wait until your imaginary game archive is inaccessible; start buying hard drives now. With modern day ZFS/NAS technology there's no reason not to have at least a couple terabytes to backup your favorite games.

Facebook and Twitter are far worse sources of extremism. There are entire groups dedicated to genetic comparisons between races, 'who would you do' groups that do nothing but photos of young women in bikinis farmed FROM facebook/ig.

4chan is where you go too far. 4chan users typically don't foster extremism, they are the extreme. They don't post pictures of young women, they post addresses and walkthroughs of their apartments.
