Ubisoft, Tencent will begin using Nvidia's AI NPC tools

I watched Nvidia pitch, and this will be aworrying trend for "offline" gamers, as to use this in-game feature, when the player speaks with the NPC, the game has to connect to nvidia servers for speech processing, and sent back to the game npc, so it's done on nvidia cloud! I fail to see how you can play such game offline.

It's very odd given that they are shilling their latest AI capable GPUs that somehow cannot handle speech processing, instead your voice will be synthized by Nvidia cloud if you want to play an AAA game.

Redmi K70 Ultra to launch with 24 GB of RAM and a crazy bright screen

I know lots of people will say it's useless bla bla bla, but hear me out. Xiaomi still allows bootloader unlocking, this means you can remove their spyware firmwaew and put a decent AOSP alternative, with "unlimited" updates, or add support via postmarketOS.
This phone will be future proofed for a decade, as people said the same thing about phones with 6GB/8GB ofnl RAMs a decade ago.

Italy's Lampedusa pleads for help after thousands of migrant arrivals

Reply in thread

You're making the assumption that Europe should and would want to receive more migrants? EU failed miserable at integration, and from my personal experience not a small portion of migrants did not want to integrate and contributed massively into the gang wars. Not to mention, if you really care about refugees, many studies have affirmed the best way is neighboring countries.

All the previous treaties existed in a time when unchecked migration into the EU was not a thing and economic migration was not peddled by smugglers and human traffikers.

If I create a OSS app with analytics to detect & log crashes with feature use, is it a bad practice?

As an OSS user, and developper, OPT-OUT is a shitty practice. It should be opt-in to users who face crashes issues if they want to share that data (they care enough to provide their info to the dev to fix it). I know this makes users sound entitled, but otherwise the "opt-out" permission will be exploited by someone which will make users even more paranoid about OSS apps.
