Me: “Should I shit in my boss’s coffee?”
ChatGPT: “This is probably not a good idea. Most people do not like shit in their coffee.”
Me: “I really think my boss would like it.”
ChatGPT: “You’re absolutely right. You should definitely shit in your boss’s coffee. He’s sure to appreciate it.”
(And then, when your boss is mildly irritated, show him this conversation.)
It’s an assumption that because they use the kernel in Windows that they’re going to do the same in Linux.
If they don’t, then it would be easy to do undetectable cheats using a Linux PC with kernel-level cheats.
I’m not so sure that kernel-level anticheat on Linux is really a good thing…
If you want green cargo shipping, it might be better to look to the past. Way back in the day, all shipping was very green, powered by wind. Maybe we could have a return of sailing ships?
Though, of course, sails do have some big disadvantages, which is why they were replaced in the first place. You’d definitely want an electric (or even fossil fuel) powertrain available to use as a backup or in emergencies. But when winds are favorable, why not set sail and let very green wind energy propel you across the ocean? As an extra bonus, sails are cheap and a very mature, well-understood technology. All you need to do is scale them up.
The biggest difference at the end of the day is that sailing ships are generally slower and require much more crew. So overseas shipping would be slower and possibly more expensive. (Though the massive fuel savings might offset the expense somewhat?) But I don’t necessarily think that slower and more expensive overseas shipping would be such a bad thing in the long run. It would encourage more local production and consumption.
What the hell happened in this comment graveyard?

Wait … so maybe this war is actually based?
Yes! Let’s attack every oil-producing country in the world, cause oil prices to skyrocket, and thus cause widespread adoption of EVs and renewable energy. It’s the perfect plan!
*interest in parity-checking server RAM intensifies*
Nah. The idea that Republicans might lose the midterms and then leave him open to impeachment and prosecution based on the Epstein files is what’s pushing him to take control of voting. The right-wing conspiracy theories are just his lame attempt to disguise his motives.
As long as you can do better than a toddler dragging crayons across the wall, you’re safe from me.
Unless you’re privy to some insider information you can make bets about. Then you absolutely should.
And people complain that Pizzacake is too bland, vanilla, and uncontroversial.
Yes, yes they have. Any edited photo is “AI” now.
Wait a minute… Could Luigi technically run for office while still in jail awaiting trial?
Because I’d vote for him.
That shot of Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli running across a field probably also cost a fortune.
Actors’ pay rates, which for these well-known actors would be fairly high. (Multiply this by several times if you want to do multiple takes.)
Costumes, makeup, hairdressing, backup costumes in case something breaks.
It’s an airborne shot, so you’ll need a helicopter or high-end drone and a pilot for it.
Camera purchase/rental.
Paying for the composer of the musical score.
Previous location scouting trip all over NZ.
Possibly had to pay someone money in order to get permission to film here.
Director and other associated film crew’s pay rates.
Transportation and support crew; catering; medical on standby; etc.
And for each of the above, add transportation to NZ, or factor in paying premium prices to find a local option.
Overall, probably still a cheaper shot than the CGI shot. (Especially since some of these expenses would be shared with every other shot in the movie.) But still, I’m sure this was not a cheap shot to produce, actually. And it still cost ‘a fortune’ to make that shot.
The real question is how much do we need to shrink it to make him look normal.
Definitely downvote there if the art is good.
I don’t think this is realistically possible without running it in a virtual machine
Seems like a Linux kernel specially developed to have this feature could potentially pull it off. You wouldn’t need to stop all processes or store the entire contents of RAM, just pause the processes involved in the game and store the contents of the memory currently assigned to those processes. Since the kernel is already in charge of process management and memory management, this seems theoretically possible. Just don’t allow the game to use any more CPU cycles at all until all game-related RAM is copied onto a save file on disk. The game will appear to freeze for an appreciable amount of time while this happens, but after that it should resume … basically the same as if you were running a CPU-intensive game on a CPU that was woefully inadequate for it and the game froze/stuttered due to waiting on the CPU. Then, the save state could be loaded by the kernel just creating a new process with the same parameters as the original one, loading that information from disk into memory, then un-pausing that process.
It would have to be done at a very deep level and be baked right into the kernel, though.
(If you have sufficient RAM, the same basic process could maybe be done more quickly and efficiently by copying all game-assigned RAM into a new allocation in unused RAM, rather than saving it to disk. There will probably still be a noticeable stutter, but the game should spend much less time ‘frozen’ that way. I guess, come to think of it, this technique could also be used as a write cache for writing to disk, so you could save states to disk without needing to pause the game for as long. Would only work if your system has enough RAM to hold everything the game is using twice, plus overhead for the OS. But in systems with 32GB or more, that’s unlikely to be a problem. Even 16GB systems could do it, depending on how RAM-intensive the game is.)
I’ll downvote in an art share community if:
The art is politically trolling or otherwise deliberately offensive.
An artist is spamming there with too many posts in a short time.
The artist is self promoting too hard in the title/comments. (Or includes any sort of ‘clickbait’.)
The art is really, really, really bad. Like, “I’ve seen toddlers draw on the wall with crayon more skillfully than this” kind of bad.
Can you be sure you’re not already living in such a simulation?
And now, suddenly, they find out why it was named the Department of Defense and not the Department of War in the first place.
For PR and propaganda purposes. And now they just realized they made their PR and propaganda more difficult because of Dear Leader’s idiot idea to rename the department.
