Insert required Fuck Intuit/TurboTax/CreditKarma here, who spends billions to make the tax system stays as complicated as it is.

The IRS already knows how much everyone should be paying, so just give us a single bill already.

You may say that jokingly, but at some point if the tech keeps improving, that may be the only way the world continues to exist without destabilizing. OpenAI already says* that their end goal is to make the world powered by a form of universal basic income by having AI do most jobs. Having the AI be paid on task completion and distributing that accumulated wealth, removing a portion to cover maintenance, would be one method of doing so.

*that said, the words of a potential megacorporation aren’t really to be trusted, and the whole thing would have massive issues of “how do you distribute the money” and “what am I giving up in terms of personal safety and privacy”. Having to make an account with a specific AI company and providing all your governmental identification to receive that funds for example would be terrible.

There’s tradeoffs. If training LLMs (and similar systems that feed on pure physics data) can improve nuclear processes, then overall it could be a net benefit. Fusion energy research takes a huge amount of power to trigger every test ignition and we do them all the time, learning little by little.

The real question is if the LLMs are even capable of revealing those kinds of insights to us. If they are, nuclear is hardly the worst path to go down.

Given how repairable the steam deck already is, it’d be nice if it could be pushed one step further and make some sort of mini-socket for the SoC.

Obviously that’s not a Valve thing to do but an AMD, and trying to downscale a desktop CPU socket style is primed for failure (a lot of companies are soldering on for a reason), but if AMD could make a standardized “whole system chip” that can just be swapped every generation, you wouldn’t have to purchase the chassis over and over again.

Looking at Destiny. Game worked okay on Linux before they integrated Battleye, which HAS Linux support, but Bungie just doesn’t want to interact with it.

By the looks of it, pretty much. Not in the sense of building an AI model, but more like traditional image recognition. Seems to process everything locally too, which is a plus; no sending data off to unknown servers.

“Tricks” like FSR should certainly make a single platform be able to last longer. Say what you will about the techs usefulness on top of the line hardware, low/mid level hardware like the deck/ally/switch is where it’s greatest benefits lie.

Aside from the obvious fighting and bidding over an already claimed single domain name, what factors into the inherent pricing of a domain?

Every battery has a voltage curve though; even alkaline batteries will drop off the 1.5v region after some time. Comparatively, ni-mh rechargeables will hold 1.2v more consistently and for longer than an alkaline, where it’s voltage drops pretty quickly as the battery dies.
