That really depends on the people. Some have the forum-warrior gene and any digital written medium becomes a bloodbath... ;) If possible (and I don't mean convenient), in person. Less best thing is a video call, next best to that is a voice call. Again, it depends on the people. If you play in...

Why call it a Buffy the Vampire Slayer (reboot) when there's virtually no Buffy? We had an Angel spinoff, called Angel. It seems like another run at a TV series about modern monsters, that really didn't need the expensive 'Buffy' label. I see a couple of reasons why it was cancelled that...

If that was a requirement, it wouldn't show it originated in the Congo, it would have originated in the same city as the target. Attackers do as much work as necessary, currently not needed, but simple to implement when needed. Attackers vs defense is an arms race and what you suggest is not...

What I was trying to say was that before Facebook or Twitter even existed we had major privacy issues with banks, stuff we've had since with companies like Facebook and Twitter... I'm pretty certain that quite a few banks are happy with social media companies working as distractions... ;)

Yes they are, but that doesn't mean they are perfect either. I've worked for a couple of banks for almost a decade and I know that one of them had issues with requiring copies of IDs they legally weren't allowed to demand. And we recently had a huge issue with a telecom provider that was hacked...

It is when the norm is that you need to be 15+ (Netherlands is going to implement this this way), all 15-17 year olds are still considered kids. 14+ people are required to carry an ID in the Netherlands. I can tell you from experience that the theoretical rights we have do not always translate...

Look at the UK, they implement age verification and nothing decent has been implemented before it's enforced. Why? Because a physical ID does not work in a purely digital environment. Anything that's been implemented so far is just to legally isolate companies from blame, without actually...

This is exactly how news papers worked, run by humans, at the time quite profitable. And while we might now live in bubbles, we also did so in the past. We've seen similar things from radio, TV, news channels. When you look at the news reporting from newspapers, radio and television (news...

I know you took a random number, but it's going far faster then that. Just looking at consumer hardware (4090 => 5090) LLM performance improved by 25%-50% in 2.25 years, on the business side it improved by 100% in 1.25 years. That's just the hardware side, huge improvements are also there on the...

Maybe not the algorithms, but moderators and posters do "confuse, enrage, divide, and socially engineer western society". Which might be a good or a bad thing depending on your perspective. What we've always done as humans with each other, either around the campfire, in the newspaper, books, TV...

That's a good point. I haven't seen enough of a complete cRPG yet to judge is that is true or not, but I could see that happening. On the other hand how is that different from most of the other visual media? In movies and TV series the average actor is very good looking, makeup and after effects...

That is not what I noticed first, that is a LOT of flash on a plastic mini! That ankle and foot will fuse perfectly fine with some plastic glue imho.

We're using Discord for voice chat during our Foundry VTT sessions, and when this popped up in it's usual hysterical reporting, I remained calm and read what was going on and what services were going to be affected. None of the services we were using were affected by the age verification thing...

No, that was written by me. Yes, it collects information from different sources, but it wasn't copy paste. I might not be more knowledgeable then you on the subject-matter, but I am more knowledgeable then the people that asked what this was about. Hence the non-LLM generated, non-copy/pasted...

This is specifically mentioned in the Digital Foundry version, this is a development version where they use two 5090 cards to run stably for the presentation, in the lab they have it already running on one card. And it should be released for the entire RTX 50xx series of video cards, the...
