  It says Corvette C7 on the top one, so it can easily be compared to the underbody of a real Corvette C7, which looks nothing like that.

  According to MK, he was written to be gay, but higher-ups had him make his relationship with Huna ambiguous.

  Even going as far as calling her husband an asshole (might be true, I’m not married to the dude).

  You misunderstood the text, the sentence is :

  If only I got a penny for every time someone said: you don’t look like a computer scientist, I could be Mackenzie Scott without having to marry an asshole.

  She’s calling Jeff Bezos an asshole, not her own husband.

  Really interesting, thank you for sharing.

  The article paints it as a personal decision; this surprises me, as I would have thought he would have worked out a deal with figures of the party or Harris, to get something in exchange for his dropping out (such as a guarantee of continued support for Israel, for example).

  Why not just VFX the abs onto the actors? If any TikTok user has access to convincing beauty filters then surely Hollywood as well.

  This is interesting but not really justified historically. Celsius predates the concept of absolute zero, and water is very important to our world, not just ourselves.

  Not sure what you mean, obviously they must provide some bindings for developers to actually use their product.

  But it’s not enough to offer a solution — you need to get people to use it. Doing it this way means Nvidia has to go out and convince studios to spend the effort, provide assistance if necessary, etc — which plays to it’s strengths as market leader, because it doesn’t require their product to be better, it “just” requires more employees and business contacts.

  AMD, being smaller, instead goes for a riskier lower-level approach that needs less contact with developers, hopefully side-stepping the need to drive adoption because games get the feature “for free”.

  The game also supports NVIDIA Reflex technology, but Unlike Anti-Lag+ which works on a driver level, Reflex is incorporated into the game itself.

  This shows how Nvidia’s size and money allow it to improve its market position without necessarily having better tech. Sign deals with game developers to implement Nvidia-exclusive stuff rather than have to tamper with DLLs and such.
