I mean, we know the absolute limits of computational efficiency thanks to the Landauer limit and the Margolus–Levitin theorem, and from those we know that we are so far from the limits that it is practically unfathomable.
If they can show some evidence that they can perform useful calculations 100x more efficiently than whatever they chose to compare against (definitely a cherry picked comparison) then I’ll give them my attention, but others have made similar claims in the past then turned out to be in extremely specific algorithms that use quantum calculations that are of course slower and less efficient on any traditional computer.
She understands very well the fragility of her situation in regards to the CCP, and the Vice reporters going against her wishes was downright dangerous.
Her response was harsh and arguably too far, but giving the editor in cheif of vice a tiny taste of the fear and discomfort she and her partner would have felt after they refused to remove sensitive details from the article and video was in many ways justified.
I think we will keep accelerating, but Fusion has taken so, so long to get to where we are now, every advancement has been met with a setback, and we still only have a few parts of it working on small scales.
The ones to watch for the next few years are ITER and CFETR for large scale tokamak style reactors, as well as SPARC for a much more compact solution that looks very promising as it can be built faster and cheaper. I don’t really see inertial confinement or pinch reactors being the way forward for power generation, but you never know.
I was on 100/40 FTTN (but getting full speed due to a good line, lucky me) and earlier this year I took up the free upgrade to FTTP, went super smoothly and the install was even done neatly.
Yes I’m with Aussie BB, they’re getting big and starting to act like a bigger ISP, but the service is still top notch.
Of course they do, no matter how good the physical camera and lenses get (and they have improved a lot in the last 10 years) you still cant fight physics, the size of the parts in a phone camera mean you are always working near, or well past the diffraction limit so there is a physical limit on the detail they can render, no matter how many megapixel you throw at it…
The average phone buyer doesn’t give a shit how much AI enhancement is going on in their photos, if on average their photos look better, they will buy it regardless of whether it’s “real” or not. honestly this isn’t really much different to any photo you take on a modern phone, they already use AI enhancement for texture recovery, sharpening, face and subject detection, “cosmetic smoothing”, etc… etc… etc…
They do say they are using AI enhancement so they aren’t really lying… at least not in the legal sense. People that actually want to take photos of the moon will still use real cameras.
Edit: oops lemmys doing the old posts on front page thing again lol.
Usually means “yes this works in theory but only for very specific operations at limited scales that aren’t all that important so it’s not worth pursuing seriously”
