Besides differences in texture mapping, the way GPUs render triangles is quite different to techniques commonly used in the old days. No one was computing barycentric coordinates and checking if every pixel was inside a triangle - it’s too slow to do that on a single thread. At low resolutions you get very different visual results because a GPU will not render triangles that do not cover the center of a pixel without anti-aliasing.

In some states, like NH, the default is that you can even hunt on other people's (privately-owned) land, unless it is posted. As a landowner, you are encouraged to allow free, recreational use of your land by others.

They are? I could see why, say, detectives interviewing a suspect might use that approach to try to get them to say something incriminating, but for regular cops I would think their job is made much easier if the people they interact with are calm.

I'm sorry to be that guy, but the lack of contrast makes this comment difficult to read.

I'm no zoologist, but this seems exactly the kind of thing that a carnivorous/omnivorous wild animal would happily eat.

Thanks for this. It would be great if links were clickable

Yes, you can list (and listen to) your Echo voice command history, and delete them. Frustratingly, there is no bulk delete that I have found - you have to go through them individually.

A cautionary tale: Echo starts recording when it hears the "wake" word ('Alexa' or 'Amazon'), but it can mistake other words or parts of speech for a wake word (for example, consider how close the phrase "he likes her" is to "Alexa"). Browsing through the history I have found snippets of conversations that Echo had no business listening to, and which the recorded subjects certainly did not wish to send to Amazon.

I think the confusion stems from your verbing of "wall".

'Crazy' people need help too.

As someone who travels regularly for work, I am absolutely OK with Apple trimming as much as they can from their laptops.
