Ah, the snake oil turned out to be poisonous.

Also, reading the article, the immediate practical implications of this improvement are almost nonexistent. This is a theoretical breakthrough, that may or may not lead to further theoretical breakthroughs that may or may not be practically more relevant.

Certainly important research, but nothing that AI people (or any other scientists) must celebrate. Feeds the AI hype though.

Maybe this fits better into a car community

Interesting. Yeah my comment was just a shitpost. But what you are saying makes it seem completely nonsensical what AMD is doing.

But then maybe they just want to push faster video cards, and freesync is something that people care about. Then they can still sell better cards to those people that don't know that freesync is less useful at higher refresh rates.

True. For FPS I often do that too. For top-down view games it's often nicer with vsync. Even triple buffered.

Probably their freesync is mostly ineffective on 60Hz but better on higher refresh rates, and they just made a good spin out of that in the marketing department.

If you want fast file sync between computers, use syncthing

Use NixOS. Then that should not be an issue :)

I hope noone was hurt by any chemicals. I would never set for into a plant like this. There is a reason these owners have a lot of safety rules.

So they are poisoning GitHub copilot?

The EOD team assessed the item and determined it to be a 64lb naval projectile

Even a tiny amount of explosive can result in a big bang, and certainly hurt someone. If this is a 64 pound projectile, then there has to be a few pounds left even if it was just a tiny amount.

What's a Bechdel test?
