  • They’re getting big enough now and getting enough right-wing attention that we can probably start expecting provocateurs to be hiding in the crowds.

    Bring saline and baby shampoo. Saline to rinse tear gas out of someone’s eyes. Baby shampoo is for pepper spray, which is oil based. Don’t bring your phone. Wear Z87+ (ANSI standard for impact resistance) eye glasses to protect you eyeballs from rubber bullets or shrapnel. Tear gas grenades are incredibly hot, do not attempt to handle them without gloves.

    Keep it peaceful, aggressively point anyone attempting to damage property or cause violence. Know the exit routes and be safe.

    Good luck out there folks.







  • Administrative warrants should not be a thing.

    The entire point of the 4th amendment was that the King would issue general warrants which gave the power to determine who to search or sieze to the agent instead of a judge. This power was massively abused and was one of the earliest issues where States acted to try to curtail the power of the crown in the colonies.

    Giving that power to the agent’s organization results in exactly the same outcome. People are being searched and siezed without a judicial finding of probable cause. This should not be a thing. A person’s freedom and property should not be in danger of being seized based on the whims of law enforcement.

    You can already see the abuses, ICE had an administrative warrant to go after some “”“”““TDA””“”“” gang members and they raided an entire apartment building full of people. This is exactly the kind of general search that lead to the 4th amendment.








  • Frame generation is a requirement if we’re going to see very high refresh rate (480hz+) displays become the norm. No card is rasterizing an entire scene 500 times per second.

    Calling it fake frames is letting Internet memes stand in place of actual knowledge. There’s a lot of optimizations done in the rendering pipeline which use data from previous frames to generate future frames, generating an intermediate frame while waiting for the GPU to finish rendering the previous frame is just one trick.

    The generated frame increases the visual clarity of motion, you can see at https://testufo.com/photo.

    We’re not going to have cards that can pathtrace at 4k@1000hz anytime soon, frame generation is one of the techniques that will make it possible.

    It’s one thing to be upset at companies marketing teams who try to confuse people with FPS numbers by tweaking up scaling and frame generation. Directing that frustration at the technology itself is silly.

    e: a downvote, great argument
