Wasn't this a remaster, not an ai upscale? And I thought that the incomplete effect situation has been resolved.

For DS9, the best quality "available" is probably the Vertag 1080p AI upscale release. Kinda wild.

But that compute might not be available to then long term. Hard to make big moves with a contract like that.

The cost is obviously not that big of factor for OP as it might be for others. It's actually refreshing to hear the candid viewpoint that he expresses here.

There is no issue in understanding unless you are talking about only reading the headline that a media outlet decides to use. How about we all just use our brains and understand that things can be fixed in different ways, but it is important that they get fixed.

Suboptimal behavior from companies is what leads to recalls. I cant even understand an example of what you are talking about there. And now you want to carry water for the industry by creating some diluted term. Does the car have a safety issue that is should not? Then its a recall. The manufacture can now decide how to resolve it. Sometimes that can be done via an OTA update.

I think its is in the interest of consumers to know ALL the ways these corps are putting your life at risk through their engineering efforts or lack there of. If your car manufacture is doing weekly OTA bug fixes on the vehicle that you drive you kids in everyday, you (the apparent beta tester) should sure as well know. Then you can make an informed decision.

> Writing it myself would mean doing the research myself. How would I do that?

This is why you should write things yourself. There is no way an AI would write something so insane in response to that question. Since I can now read your true understanding of the world, I know not to waste my time on your ai slop. I have no reason to believe you fact checked the 'research' done using AI if you cant even understand how the research should have been done in the first place. You want to waste the time of others but arent even willing to sacrifice a bit yourself.

A "recall" is a specific regulated action. It is announced as a recall because that is what is legally required according to the NHTSA. There is no wiggle room here.

right? Net Runner specifically allows proxy cards at events and even give you pdfs to print you own cards. Owning random expensive cards is no way to play a fair game.

I think some people saw that salutes, the reposts, the praise of Orban and might have reached that conclusion.

Would be more meaningful if everyone said what plan they are on, as there are 3 different ones that users could be discussing.

Why would you call it an hallucination because you cant find immediately locate the source? You didnt say what in the single sentence would make you jump to that conclusion.

The piece states that it appears to be molded fiberglass. But is anyone aware of any more in depth analysis of its materials/possible production technique? Was the pillar barren on top before?

I don’t understand this. What speaks pro-establishment in this piece?

What if I tell you u can use the agent directly with seerr. That way you don't have to make or maintain skills/mcps for each of the services.

OP said he does local inference, and you are complaining about 'wastefulness'. OP brought the request service to where his friends already were. For them, this is probably the better solution. Seerr cannot expose itself to discord/telegram and requires users to have another account. I mean, sure you can have the AI code those too.

There are plenty of ways to solve problems, and some people do it differently. Sometimes, just to see if it works. This is a good thing. Not everyone has the time nor inclination to maximize efficiency.
