Reply to comment by kaestiel in German scientists show a commercially feasible method for cyanobacteria to extract 17 rare earth elements from low-concentration sources. Currently, most of the world's supply of these elements is mined in China. by lughnasadh
I’m shocked that a nation would have a well-researched plan to destabilize its geopolitical enemy. Shocked, I tell you!
Of course it’s been a plan. Russia has been consistently invading and annexing pieces of sovereign nations for decades, and that needs to stop. I’m happy they’re finally being punished for the atrocities they have committed.

Indeed, that’s why the United States funded Ukraine’s invasion into Russia.
Oh no wait, it was Russia that invaded Ukraine, my bad.
It is extremely obvious who are the aggressors and who are the defenders here. If there is any breaking up of Russia, it’s entirely self-inflicted.

Is KoboldAI best in class for open source conversation engines? I’ve been meaning to try one of those out.

Well you wouldn’t need realtime depth estimation for a HUD would you?
This would be more of a 6-DOF AR system, which can and does have real world applications.

That’s a terrible argument for compute-heavy technology. Our devices are far better at this today.

It’s likely not a GAN.

Okay, and their cardinal sin is putting the back button on the right side of the screen as an arrow pointing right. That goes against every UX convention ever.
But yeah, the AR and AI they do is top of the line, and has been for years.

Reply to comment by RiceAlicorn in English company Oxitec has released a simple, easy to distribute commercial product they say cuts Dengue Fever spreading mosquito populations by 96%. By just adding water, genetically modified mosquito eggs mature into males whose sperm cannot result in viable female larvae. by lughnasadh
There was an article saying how they used mosquitoes to transmit a malaria vaccine recently.

Just read something about Facebook’s AITemplate code making StableDiffusion 3x faster as well. Worth looking into as another potential optimization.

Whataboutism at its finest. Please learn how to properly formulate an argument, because shitty logical fallacies aren't welcome here.
The US is obviously also guilty of unethically invading sovereign nations. That being said, they have not annexed any of the territories in question. Regardless, just because the US does it absolutely does not justify it being done by Russia.
In this case, the US is in a rare position of being on the ethical side in a military conflict. There is no justification for forcibly annexing another country's territory.
