Comment Re:VM (Score 1) 23

Unless you have a way of making that KVM virtualization indistinguishable from a Windows host computer that looks like
a Hyper-V VM due to having Hyper-V enabled or virtualization-based-security or WSL.

It will take some work no doubt, but it's probably possible. You'd have to twiddle it to evade fingerprinting.

2 Passing through the GPU to a VM seems impractical.. Since you presumably cannot have your display controlled
by two computers at the same time. How are you going to physically control that host after you start the VM then If you have
"passed your GPU over to the VM" ?

Either you use integrated graphics plus a discrete GPU, or just put in a second discrete GPU.

For Snowrunner I don't care much about latency, because things tend to happen ponderously slowly anyway. I do care a lot about visual quality, because I've already turned quality down a bit so I can render at 4k with reliable frame rates, and can't really afford more degradation. I'm using my CPU to do the encoding, because my system is quite GPU bound (5900X, 4060 Ti 16GB.)

It may not be in the kernel, but you can do all of that with ZFS. It has some pretty serious limitations though, like they insist that you not trust a SLOG which is not battery backed, and that you not use cheap hard drives (with shingled recording) while the I in RAID literally means inexpensive. They also insist that you will have problems if you have disks on USB. All of those things may be bad ideas, but people commonly want to do them, and finding ways to accommodate them is a reasonable ask.

To use a car analogy (why? for fun) it's like the difference between a Japanese car and a German one. The German cars are all designed around the assumption of ideal maintenance and of parts being reliable. But Bosch has enshittified like everyone else (the difference in the quality of their parts between as recently as the late 80s and as long ago as the late 90s is frankly shocking) and now those cars are pains in the ass. The Japanese cars are designed to be able to suffer some crappy sensors without failing. They tend to hold up well even when neglected, CVTs aside.

Comment Re:Even trains have to follow (Score 1) 85

These trains are also less than 7% faster in theory, so they were always going to have an improvement under 7%, and of course rolling down the rails was never the only thing the trains did and it was always going to be less than the improvement in top speed anyway. Even on a perfect RoW the difference would have always been underwhelming.

You can't even internet and you want us to believe you can logic.

If that was a measurable feature of microplastics then why isn't that mentioned in every news article on microplastics found in brains and testicles?

In that case, the system responded properly by passing the customer to a human; which was the whole point of the video.

And the customer also acted properly by using a working strategy to convince the system to pass them to a human.

I've been in stores where they literally have paid someone to tell people to use the self checkout. "The self-checkout is open", they will say. I respond "No thanks," usually without a quip about being expected to work without pay, but admittedly not always. Then they look irritated with me because I'm helping to threaten their job, while they're helping to threaten multiple jobs.

In a world with UBI, I would go ahead and use the self checkout for small numbers of items when I'm not in a spectacular hurry. In this world, that's putting people on the street. Same for talking to the ordering AI. And same for talking to the poorly automated phone tree, while we're at it.
