Re: ‘Advanced AI should be treated similar to Weapons of Mass Destruction’ 17 Hours Ago by Reverend Jim Based on the proliferation of AI generated content, and the age-old rule of garbage in, garbage out, what will be the result of AI models being trained on ever increasing amounts of content generated by other AI platforms? Will we get into a negative feedback loop where the output will become so polluted with bad input that it will be effectively … Re: ‘Advanced AI should be treated similar to Weapons of Mass Destruction’ 14 Hours Ago by jwenting Even worse: the junk being deliberately fed to AIs is already at the stage where the results are useless BUT those results are blindly believed by many people BECAUSE they're generated by AI and therefore supposedly automatically correct!

There's some variable that controls the output so that's what you look at. You've posted a lot about ray-tracing and that's all good but setting breakpoints to see what's going on seems to be the challenge.

This phenomenon occurs because the vertical lines represent intersections of rays with grid cells, and depending on the angle and distance of the rays, they may intersect multiple grid cells horizontally, resulting in wider lines compared to the… Re: RayCasting: why i get a more width vertical lines on square grid size? 1 Week Ago by cambalinho what make me more crazy is that i'm using a code, converted and works, from VB6 lol ASUS Laptops - my experience 2 Months Ago by Reverend Jim … press Fn+F7 to cycle to the next back-lighting level (it goes low-medium-high-off).

We've been lucky with them. OK, there is a "thing" about some models where you have to install a media/storage driver for some drives to show up.

I'm assuming that the problem with the first unit was not a missing driver because both ASUS and Best Buy (Geek Squad) could not get it working. Re: ASUS Laptops - my experience 2 Months Ago by rproffitt https://www.asus.com/support/faq/1044458/ notes the Intel RST as well. As to BB/GS, I've found them hit or miss on this area. And on some models you "Disable Intel Volume Management Device (VMD) technology". I'm of the opinion that such steps should be automatic and built into "modern" Windows. Re: ASUS Laptops - my experience 2 Months Ago by Reverend Jim Took my laptop in to Best Buy ths morning and they said it would have to be shipped back to ASUS for repair (again). The good news is that it's still under warranty and I have a spare laptop. The bad news it that it's also an ASUS, but at least it's an older one from before they started making (in my opinion) crap.
