Comment Re:Isn't an AI based film really an animated film? (Score 1) 26

This is the stupid part for which we don't have enough info. AI is such an insanely generic term. AI could mean entirely generating a movie from prompts, or simply using a tool like CorridorKey to apply a green screen replacement effect to a transparent object (not possible with classic chromakeying).

I replied to your post with the respect you showed me. You started down this ad hominem path. Now let's finish the game you chose to play moron.

You're more than welcome to respond to my original point and bring the conversation back on track. Until then I'm just going to treat you like the stupid idiot you are. You wanted this. You chose this, not me. I responded to the point, you didn't. And now you're upset like the dumb fuck you are. Truly no braincell in you head.

Yeah sad indeed.

Theres almost nothing the space program gave rise to that wouldnt have happened anyway.

A phrase used by every science denier in history.

Have some education: The world of science is split into direct research and incidental discoveries. A lot of your life is attributed to the latter. There's no causal reason why it "wouldn't have happened anyway". Many of these discoveries took years for their actual applications to become apparent and as no one was seeking these discoveries there's no reason for any sane person to believe they would have been discovered.

As for return on investment, that's not yours to decide. We spend a lot of money on science that leads to actually zero discoveries. If you want to do simple division you'll realise that the ROI from space tech is infinitely larger.

Anyway you want to impress us, stick with your convictions. Next time you're in hospital with a complex break and the doctors wheel you to that CT scanner, refuse. Tell them no, you don't believe the science funding that made that machine possible was a good use of money and stand you ground. Don't let yourself be a beneficiary of money you think is poorly spent!

it seems like they were somehow always slower than the Linux software RAID controller.

That's your confirmation bias. Back in the day people specifically used hardware RAID precisely because it was faster, measurably so. Also I/O performance wasn't the only metric. Software RAID consumed considerable CPU resources back when we weren't running threadrippers with half their cores idle. Not only was I/O performance better on hardware RAID but your CPU utilisation was lower allowing for more cycles to be dedicated to the application (quite critical for database servers of old).

Exactly... you block such-and-such range, I change to a DNS outside of that range, and we keep going back-and-forth until you've blocked the entirety of the 'net.

YOU do. Most people don't. Most laws and rulings don't deal with individual cases attempting to bypass it. A very significant portion of the population have no idea how to change their DNS settings.

That said this is becoming a bit more pointless in the past 2 years with major browsers shipping with DoH enabled by default.

A good place to see that politicians are generally clueless and incapable or unwilling to see facts.

In most cases politicians have no obsession with DNS. They simply recognise that DNS services of ISPs is one of the few things they can control for any company that's registered within their country. It's not like they have authority outside their borders. The fact that *you* can bypass it is irrelevant. Most people don't. It's a solution to the uncommitted, and an attempt to block incidental piracy, not to put in place a technical solution that would stop the highly technical folk of Slashdot or those committed to finding a source of pirated material.

The actual alternative is build a great firewall, and politicians are clever enough to know that won't fly.

Your obsession (actually not just yours, it's a wide spread trend here on Slashdot) with absolutism is what is really stupid.

Life has existed and indeed thrived greatly in warmer climates than this.

Life didn't arbitrarily draw lines around the planet that prevented animals from migrating. Americans loose their fucking shit when a couple of thousand people walk in their direction. Climate change won't kill us, we'll nuke each other to oblivion first, ... because of climate change.
