It is the fault of the company.

It's their sole design goal. There is no part of the addiction process that's in any way less than deliberate and intentional.

Fuck the parents, absolutely.

But put every single executive at every company with lootboxes in prison for the blatant unregulated gambling they're putting in games.

Physical dependence isn't the real issue with hard drugs, either. If it was, supervised detox would be an actual resolution instead of having almost no success. The brain chemistry being abused in gambling and gaming addiction that modern gaming companies deliberately instigate is exactly the same as it is with crack and meth. The dopamine doesn't start as strong, but it's identical otherwise, and identical in an addict.

Unshielded UV light apparently.

No clue the actual risk profile of that.

The actual models telling them what to multiply are, to my knowledge.

VRAM isn't the low level "working" memory. You still have to pull structures from memory and into actual use. If you're working on pen and paper, a bookshelf might be system storage and your desk might be RAM/VRAM, but you still need to copy the numbers from your desk onto the piece of paper you're working on. That's lower level cache, registers, the tensor cores, etc.

If the chip you're discussing is a better calculator, that's useful, but you still need the big desk to hold the huge amount of information you need to reference at any given time.

My brain is mush for some reason today, so that might not make sense, but better matrix operations shouldn't remove the need to have access to a huge model.

I'd think about it for OLED. I give no fucks about resolution I can't drive and will mostly not notice at that screen size anyways. The pixel density is fine.

Ship a whole front shell replacement with a larger screen displacing the bezels and the higher resolution? Then I'd listen.

If it's actually High Bandwidth Memory, it's the VRAM they use for some video cards/SoCs.

It might be mostly the same components, but the high bandwidth part is important and harder to do. They get the much higher throughput by physically stacking the chips on top of each other directly on the chip. The much lower distance signals have to travel (combined with a lot of pins to send signal through) do more than you can do with traditional RAM.

For 95+% of people, literally everything they would use a computer for personally can be done with a phone. Phones are also replacing a bunch of stuff in various job related fields. Why have a static computer with a barcode scanner when you can just mount a scanner to a phone and have it portable? Why have a giant beefy cash register when you can trivially swipe a card and accept contactless payments on a phone instead? They even print paper receipts with some of them, if you want one.

That's fine, though.

You just explicitly make it opt in and make it clear what you're storing and why.

You don't need a centralized platform to have recommendations.

You just let users choose some tags and go from there. Each server will surface different videos, but if they all pull from everyone they're federated with it would be a lot more accessible pretty quickly. And let users opt in/out of watch history tracking to feed their suggestions.

It won't have the potential YouTube does, but YouTube's so compromised on intent that it could easily be better in practice if content availability were the same (which is obviously way off).

And it's not even because the high precision modern games want is harder to do, because the precision brand new out of the box is a dumpster fire.

He's implying presenting it differently to the user: "secure" and "EU approved".

I'm assuming the EU will fight hard to prevent that though.

Jesus.

If you want to legally operate your browser in the EU, you have to blanket trust any certificate any member country wants you to with no security check of any sort that's not explicitly approved by the EU.
