the gpu is weak, but with proper foveated rendering it is absolutely good enough I think

I’m someone who has gotten sick in cars before (rarely) but I have done a lot of crazy stuff on VR and never felt remotely sick. I’m an outlier though

As a native English speaker I certainly won’t process the words of a lot of songs without a conscious effort

Lyrics are so often indecipherable as well. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jGLYJQJh9c8

One that I remember is that I had heard the song “believer” a number of times before learning its name, I always thought they were saying “pick me up and pick me up and leave me, and leave me”. I don’t think I even tried to decypher the rest lol

I think the “proper” way to simplify it is would’ve, which is pronounced the same as ‘would of’

A lot of mistakes have just become incorporated into the language in the past. Maybe ‘would of’ is just too blatantly wrong for that to ever happen though

Maybe not really a ‘mistake’, more of a normal shortening but my personal favorite english-ism is “bye” being descended directly from “god be with you”. People just kept collapsing it more and more over time.

Edit: also “a pease” -> “peas” -> “a pea”

Freecad is pretty good, but unfortunately there’s no foss cad software that’s better. If you don’t care about foss, I would recommend onshape if you’re fine with the “public by default” thing, else fusion360.

For art, blender is great. Plasticity seems neat too, it’s a more traditional software licensing model (pay per version I think, not cheap not insanely expensive)

this game is great, i installed it just now. I heard the game is bad, but even still, i assumed the ui problems must have been from running the game through proton. but no, it’s literally just that bad

also, on wikipedia there’s a picture of the truck climbing a steep mountain. but what it doesn’t show is that the truck actually goes much faster up steep mountains than over flat land because the physics system is terrible and the car doesn’t slow down at all horizontally when it starts moving vertically.

It says in the article

15% of these subreddits contained content likely posted by bots or corporate trolls specifically designed to promote companies or organizations.

The title is just misinfo I guess

GPU stuff and ideally easier parallelism. The same binary could be executed on a GPU from any vendor, any CPU, anything that supports OpenCL, and could maybe even be extended to support FPGAs in the future.

On the high performance compute / GPGPU side the AdaptiveCPP JIT compiler seems very good for cross-platform operation

look at EV prices in china for a more accurate depiction of the battery progress that is being made

apparently the government EV subsidy for outright purchases ended in 2022, but they’re good enough at the manufacturing now that EVs are still exceptionally cheap. 70-80% of world lithium-ion production also takes place in China, so it makes sense.

There’s a lot of reasons that I don’t like the Chinese government, but they have been doing a whole lot better than the rest of the world with investment into the future of technology from what I’ve seen. The number of top-rated CS and EE schools in China is doing a whole lot on its own.

they’re actively manufactured for consumers, and cheap and available enough to be relatively competitive with lithium ion on there

i hope isdt releases a firmware update for the q6 nano for that if RC sodium ion packs become available.

although afaik energy density per volume and weight isn’t quite there yet

I do feel like unseriousness/unsophisticatedness is generally frowned upon here. Usually things are more debate than conversation

Idk, people just seem a lot more relaxed on like nerdy public discords for example

Ok, just read the artlce cited on wikipedia and it sounds like calling him a Trump supporter is a bit of an exaggeration. He seems basically centrist. Which is not great but not nearly as bad.

Their CEO is a Trump supporter

It’s the same as about:profiles

Just an easy way to separate people’s browsing histories, cookes, bookmarks, etc I guess. And you can have them sync independently as well. For if other people want to use the same computer

Well, I guess he has tried to make his views fairly plain on his blog. it’s just a bit hard to find unless you’re looking for it

i do want to point out how hard it is to even find out about the views of these people, if you just look up the names of the projects and aren’t specifically looking for this information there’s no way you’ll find anything about it

even looking up the name of David Heinemeier Hansson, the more vocally bad of these, i had to go to the 5th link to find anything even vaguely mentioning his views

This isn’t new, the features have been in the app for a while now

I think it’s the gartner hype cycle, which usually uses the same labels as the meme
