No sad puppy face, either?

Ok so I read the article and turns out there are no proper attacking capabilities yet, but it is possible that the control AI which is receiving all video feed will raise and alarm on finding something unexpected, assuming the programing is done properly.
multiple football fields
four times the size of Manhattan's Central Park
Anything other than metric.
Additional features:
industrial inspection, site mapping and construction monitoring
Turns out they have some actual utility.
But cameras can't smell well enough.
thoughtcrime
Yeah, thoughtcrime is pretty much BS and there better be no laws about it.
I mean, how many times have you had intrusive thoughts about stomping the person you are talking to, without any particular reason and how many times have you actually done that?
Then there was this guy who actually stomped on my pre-fractured toe and it is pretty easy to distinguish from a thought crime, so I see no grey area here.
So, no MG mount?
But:
- That won't get you millions increase in investor funding, which also lets you increase your pay-cheque
- You need to buy them from actual dog trainers, which are people and will eventually stop selling to you once you either become too evil for them or you murder them
- They are a supply chain risk as once you eventually piss off the dog trainer by 4x-ing his electricity bills and getting your AI to tell the govt. to shoot his family, he can then bypass the dogs using his smell, because they would be familiar with him.
Won't they be commanded to also attack all bears and horses?
I don't see why it matters whether the rapist is or isn't a paedophile.
He raped a child. That makes him a CSA offender.
Is there even laws specifically to deal with paedophiles rather than people who rape children?
Kids simply make an easy target.
This is the most relevant point I have seen to the current scene, so far.
Also, boarding schools.
Reduction in real pictures being distributed is not a real indicator of reduction in CSA and CSE either.
A simple anecdote to show it:
How many pictures of Epstein with children are in distribution? How many for his clients?
vs the actual lives he and his gang destroyed.
The small timers are easier to catch and cull with traditional policing and internet restrictions/surveillance is going to do nothing to them in the face of what it will do to absolutely everyone else.
As far as the company in the post goes, better of letting them sell in your country, so you can easily put their customers on a watchlist, rather than be unknown until they start harming real people.
They are making these legislations to steer people's focus away from the real CSA.
Remember. CSAM is just the symptom. CSA being the actual cause.
What is the rationale behind GPU heatsink fin design?
So I have seen a few GPU heatsinks and I wonder why some of them are how they are.
GPU placement in Cabinet
The originally intended and most widely used placement for ATX cases at least, is installing right on the PCIe slot, which goes horizontally and with the air incoming from the front of the case.
Then we have the "vertical" placement using the riser cable, which changes the direction from which the GPU fans take in air, but keep the GPU front, in the same direction, again lining up with the incoming air from the front.
Finally the very rare vertical placement, which has the front of the GPU rotated towards the top of the case, making it not line up with an airflow incoming from the front.
This also makes the GPU's ports inaccessible the standard way, giving a reason to the rarity.
Some examples I found for this
Here we see that the first 2 placements would make up most of the ATX PC builds with the third one being either for different case styles or for extensively customised builds.
Fins, fans and airflow
I would assume that having the air flow along the fins would be better than it crossing the fins at ⦜90°. And even if the air flow due to the case inlet is being ⟂ to the airflow from the GPU fans (in case of front incoming air flowing along the fins), it should still lead to overall increase in air pressure (hence, air density) between the fins.^[Source: Mental simulation] Considering that GPUs tend to have gaps in the IO shield to let the air go out the back, I would assume they (designers of the thermal dissipation solution) want air from the fins to go out the back, which would be better with fins parallel to front incoming air.
Inference and Doubt
From the above 2, it would make sense for most GPUs to have their heatsink fins going along their length instead of their width, right?
Then what's up with the ASRock lineup, with all cards other than the Passive model, the Creator cards (which have the front covered by the shroud anyway, so no incoming airflow) and the watercooled cards (which is not applicable) having the fins ⟂ to front air inlet?
And of course they are not the only one doing it that way.
Follow Up
While discussing in this thread, I realised another point (which I didn't state anywhere in the comments):
- While it is desirable to have higher air density, it is not desirable to have air increasing in density while in the inter-fin space. Because that would cause the heat released when changing density to be transferred to the fins.
- Another way to say that is, the air will get hotter, while increasing its density. So, how much this factor matters, will depend upon the initial temperature difference between the air and the fins and how long the dense air stays in the inter-fin space. Oh and also the composition of air.

Yeah, this is one of the things I found out the hard (ok, it was too easy to call it "hard", but anyway) way.
Not particularly interested in opening YouTube though
