It's a device designed to receive signals ;p
I think for the pagers the consensus is that a particular code would have been sent to the devices.
Your example is good, as it emphasises the bark is a long way away, but for me, personally; the original just seems excessive.
I should say that that's a fairly recent news article talking about the next FSR in development.
As to if we need it ... I don't know, we certainly managed a long time without AI everything!
I hate to say it, but FSR4 is AI powered https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/gpus/amd-plans-for-fsr4-to-be-fully-ai-based-designed-to-improve-quality-and-maximize-power-efficiency
What are these endless calls for funding? Do people only vote if they are saturated with adverts?
I will bitch about heat.,
I will bitch about cold.
I will bitch about sunshine,
and about growing old.
I will bitch about everything,
inside and out.
And if there is nothing,
Well I'll bitch about that.
Very good, I had a go at an alternate ending.
I didn't notice until you mentioned it!
So the top one in a house I don't recognise, and the bottom one on a web ... a black widow or red something ... As you maybe able to tell, I'm not really a spider fan!
The Fen Raft Spider is roughly the size of an adult male’s hand, and can spin webs as big as pizzas (25cm).
They are also semi-aquatic and can run across the water’s surface to capture their prey.
All valid points, and I didn't realise the differences in outcomes based on the various counting methods!
That would be complex to explain to many people I'm sure. However, and I'm possibly biased here, there's a whole bunch of systems I don't fully understand (car engines, encryption methods, football tournament knock out rules) but I know they work and tend to accept them and at least understand their limitations and outcomes.
I can totally see how people would reject things they don't understand, and could be easily pushed in to rejecting a new system.
Also I agree that winning an election based on the change could be hard, and perhaps attempting to introduce this change later would work. Though I'm not sure the big parties (labour and conservatives in UK) really want to change a system that works for them!
I have no personal experience of explaining ranked choice.
I can imagine calculating ranked choice vote outcomes is probably pretty labour intensive (without computers).
However people generally understand the concept of how someone comes 1st, 2nd, or 3rd in a race, and I'm sure most people have thought about a ranked list of their favourite movies or football players, so it's not some completely alien concept.
Instead of just choosing who you want to win, you fill out the ballot saying who is your first choice, second choice, or third choice (or more as needed) for each position. https://time.com/5718941/ranked-choice-voting/
That seems pretty simple to me, unless I'm missing something?
And finally whole bunch of countries manage this without any issues ...
Internationally, it is used by voters in Australia, Ireland, New Zealand, Malta, Northern Ireland and Scotland. https://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/politics/what-is-ranked-choice-voting-and-where-is-the-system-used/2638554/
Coming from a two party country (UK) the only real issue I see is the fragmenting of power and subsequent need to form endless alliances in parliament. (If I voted for the Greens but the Greens need the the votes of another party and end up doing deals is that really representing my vote..)
When it launched in 2022, Valve's Steam Deck was peerless. Less than 3 years later, the competition is poised to leapfrog it. What can Valve do to stay relevant?
I personally have a huge backlog of games I'm happily playing through on the deck. And, having been burnt a few times (Cyberpunk, No Mans Sky ..), I very rarely buy new full priced games anyway (better to wait for a discount and some patches!)
But according to this rather clickbate article ...
> In the last month alone, we’ve seen three disappointing examples of games that are too demanding for the Deck. Star Wars Outlaws is unplayable on Low settings, even with FSR set to “Ultra Performance.” Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 can’t reach a steady 30fps at the lowest quality setting. And based on the demo, Final Fantasy 16 is unplayable without FSR and Frame Generation, and afflicted with stuttering and horrible frame pacing with those scaling features enabled.

I'm not sure where you get that idea M0DESTGOD

unidentified anomalous phenomenon.
Anomalous - inconsistent with or deviating from what is usual, normal, or expected : irregular, unusua

Well I guess that distinguishes it from, for example, a drone where they are unsure who's flying it, but they do recognise it as a drone as opposed to some alien craft.
Why even broadcast the SSID? Basic mistake there!
Just can't trust anyone these days..
Don't let the AI see how well the digger arm can manipulate it's environment!
Looks like he's lugging around a bike or car battery along with the radio set. Must weigh so much!
I'm not sure I remember the part where Indy is buried chest deep in sand with one fist defiantly raised ... It looks more like a character model glitched under the map!
An executive at Assassin’s Creed maker Ubisoft has said gamers will need to get “comfortable” not owning their games before video game subscriptions truly take off.
>Ubisoft Exec Says Gamers Need to Get ‘Comfortable’ Not Owning Their Games for Subscriptions to Take Off
Ubishit's showing what's most important to them as a company (Suprise suprise it's not about making games)
Shareholders want those regular subscription fees rolling in.
