Is it possible to use StreetComplete on iOS?

I think we can all agree that modifications to these models which remove censorship and propaganda on behalf of one particular country or party is valuable for the sake of accuracy and impartiality, but reading some of the example responses for the new model I honestly find myself wondering if they haven’t gone a bit further than that by replacing some of the old non-responses and positive portrayals of China and the CPC with a highly critical perspective typified by western governments which are hostile to China (in particular the US). Even the name of the model certainly doesn’t make it sound like neutrality and accuracy is their primary aim here.

Yeah I use voyager pretty much exclusively on my iPhone so maybe I should request a feature like that there? Seems like it would be something that many people would appreciate. Not sure why I end up seeing posts with -10, -15 votes.. Those are generally trash haha

 

I love the idea of the ‘scaled’ feed but I would like to eliminate posts with negative scores (more downvotes than upvotes) or maybe even scores less than 5 or so. Can this be done?

Is this what the Leonard Cohen song is about?

Thanks for the info. I don’t know a ton about them but I’m honestly massively impressed at the talent of the Proton devs. The fact that they have made most games run as well and some games run better on Unix operating systems through a translation layer than on Windows (the OS they were designed for) is ridiculously impressive. And this just shows they aren’t resting on their laurels but are being proactive in preventing issues before they happen which is immensely commendable and impressive.

Thanks for the context. I figured I must be missing something since performance increases like this for proton would be huge news and likely not possible.

Anyone have more context on this? These are some pretty massive increases if the games in the table are in any way representative of all games.

It would be cool if they would provide some useful statistics about the aggregated data as well. Maybe something like showing the percentile for pay to the ED/CEO or for the total compensation compared to other organizations in the sector.

I didn’t scour the site so maybe this does exist.

Gaussian splatting, a new way of capturing 3D content, is taking the AR / VR industry by storm — and could one day allow anyone to create photorealistic 3D worlds.

The US government’s position on this can be summed up as “massive unaccountable US tech firms having all of your data and manipulating public opinion via their black box algorithms is okay, but Chinese companies doing that is a national security concern”. I call BS. The degree to which China is actually a US adversary is being massively overstated by the US government as they see this as a threat to US geopolitical hegemony and America’s ability to propagandize its own citizens. I have spent some time on RedNote (Xiaohongshu) and all I have seen is friendly cross-cultural exchange and discussion between these supposed ‘adversaries’.

 

In an interview with gamesindustry.biz, the acclaimed developer also discusses his next game, ‘Judas’, generative AI and why it "wasn't easy to step away from BioShock"

 

I have been discovering the joy of mixing different types of whole bean coffees before preparing them in my French press. I find that as long as you don’t do something crazy like mix a very light roast with a very dark roast you can end up with a lot of extra depth and roundness to the flavor. Thoughts? Am I insane? A heretic??? Have you tried it?

 

In the last day or so I have noticed that images on nearly all posts appear to be low resolution / blurry. Anyone else experiencing this? I am on version 2.18.4 iOS 17.6.1 iPhone 13 Pro.

I recommend watching or listen this video at x1.4 playback speed. If you can't set the speed to this value, then at least watch at x1.25.

Description:


Graphics Cards can run some of the most incredible video games, but how many calculations do they perform every single second? Well, some of the most advanced graphics perform 36 Trillion calculations or more every single second. But how can a single device manage these tens of trillions of calculations? In this video, we explore the architecture inside the 3090 graphics card and the GA102 GPU chip architecture.

Note: We chose to feature the 30 series of GPUs because, to create accurate 3D models, we had to tear down a 3090 GPU rather destructively. We typically select a slightly older model because we're able to find broken components on eBay. If you're wondering, the 4090 can perform 82.58 trillion calculations a second, and then we're sure the 5090 will be even more.

Apparently, this also explains feature differences between the Xbox and Steam versions on PC, Including why the PC game pass version of the game does not yet have DLSS support.

 

The app gives a score out of 100 for each product scanned based on how healthy or harmful it may be and offers alternative products which may be healthier. The developers do not sell ads or user data and have a no influence policy which prevents brands from paying to place their products in the app. There is a premium version which is sold on a sliding scale (pay what you want) and it offers the ability to search for products or save the data to search offline and a few other things but the free version is totally functional for checking products at home or at the store.

 

These wasps are not single-celled organisms though, and their brains alone contain 4600 neurons. For reference, the brain of a honeybee contains ~1 million neurons. Despite their extremely small heads (again, look at that head next to the SINGLE CELLED amoeba) the wasps can still fly, seek out mates, and find thrip eggs to parasitize. So…what? How?
