It’s not so much Win32 though on Xbox, the biggest similarity is the x86 CPU and the shared kernel and some security stuff

They’re probably building off Windows RT (the locked down variant designed for ARM tablets).
If they were smart they’d imitate some of how SteamOS runs games in a modified WinRT environment - TLDR do NOT start up the entire Win32 runtime and desktop environment by default, don’t run stuff like printer services and whatnot, just run a simplified sandbox and window manager with just the APIs needed to run the games similar to Proton. Then let the user switch to desktop mode as needed, but don’t run it when gaming.

Cheeky answer - the correct answer is a superposition of 25% and 50%, thus you answer it as a multiple choice question

Weirder in that it gets better at “photorealism” (textures, etc) but subjects might be nonsensical. Only teaching it how to avoid automated detection will not teach it to understand what scenes mean.

Not necessarily, but errors would be less obvious or weirder since it would spend more time in training

because the right have redefined racism to be “prejudice+ill intent”,
They claim to define it that way, and then immediate after accused everybody else of racism just arguing in good faith when you’re pointing out THEIR malice against minorities. “You weren’t supposed to notice my victim’s ethnicity is different, that means you see race and thus YOU’RE racist” is the logic you can expect.

While sound is not nearly as dominant, it’s absolutely not just a backup sense. It’s the fastest perception we have (the best rhythm game players can play blind but not deaf), it covers all directions, and even in our sleep we still respond to loud sounds.
Sound perception is so fast that it’s often what directs you to look in the right direction, even if what you’re reacting to happened in your field of vision.
Funny enough, even our peripheral vision is faster than our central field of vision, to help us avoid predators coming from behind! Our forward directed vision is for tracking and understanding what’s in front of us, sound and peripheral vision is in large part for environmental awareness. They’re co-dependent!
Humans can even learn echolocation!

More specifically, polarization changes with the angle of reflection of the surface towards the detector / eye / camera, so every bump in the surface gets a color gradient different from the surroundings when seen by a polarization sensitive eye
- Comment on shrimp colour drama 1 month ago:
Polarization filters on retinal photoreceptor won’t make light wavelength (color) be perceived different, it just changes the conditions in which it’s detected. If those polarized cells would cover unique colors compared to the rest, it would kinda resemble the highlight effect in Mirror’s Edge, where something with a different angle than the surroundings stand out (sudden color gradient)

Switch 1 games can support dynamic resolution, it’s probably going to be used for higher end games on Switch 2 as well.

The problem isn’t getting enough computing power into the tablet, the problem is cooling and battery power.

I hope they at least allow gamechat to be used locally, and by that I specifically mean allowing the camera stuff to be active (like if you plug in a small USB C camera in portable mode, maybe even if you sit in wireless range but in different rooms)
