Unfortunately NASA rockets are also made by corporate assholes because everything is outsourced to the military industrial complex

Servo is another wip web browser, managed by the Linux foundation’s European branch. It’s a little less far along but is making relatively quick progress now. Apparently discord already mostly works, with sending messages currently being a problem.

Idk if the tech for 3d printers is really more complex. All of the parts are readily available, basically nothing needs to be specially made except the hot end (one single metal part)

The consumer experience for 2d printers worse IMO but that’s probably because I’m stuck on Windows with its terrible printing system

You could keep the kernel tho while changing the gui

A lot of people block political keywords and related communities, and most niche subs aren’t there

Hmm, I was not aware of that. I’ve seen (not Nvidia related) simulations with probably tens of thousands of rigidbodies running on relatively old midrange CPUs in real time, so it’s pretty crazy that it’s that slow.

Are there really any 32-bit era games that your CPU can’t handle, especially if you have a $1k+ gpu? This post is honestly pretty misleading as it implies modern versions of PhysX don’t work, when they actually do.

That being said, it doesn’t make all that much sense as a decision, doubles are rare in most GPU code anyways (as they are very slow), NVIDIA is just being lazy and doesn’t want to write the drivers for that

Well, at least you aren’t on mac where 32 bit things just don’t launch at all… (I think they might be playable through wine, but even in the x86 era MacOS didn’t natively run any 32 bit games or software, so games like Portal 2 or TF2 for example just didn’t work even though they had a MacOS version)

Ok that makes sense

Reminds me of the “U.S. Post: you have a USPS parcel being cleared, due to the detection of an invalid zip code address, the parcel can not be cleared, the parcel is temporarily detained, please confirm the zip code address information in the link within 24 hours” message I got with the totally not suspicious domain “usps.com-service.webnw.top/us” and the unnecessarily confusing instructions “Please reply with a Y, then exit the text message and open it again to activate the link, or copy the link into your Safari browser and open it”

I read on Wikipedia that earlier tales of the Easter bunny only had it giving gifts to good kids, it might just be a regional thing now

the federal department does some very important assistance to state departments and students, but it is worth noting that states do basically all of the actual control and management of schools

OpenAI could use less hardware to get similar performance if they used the Chinese version, but they already have enough hardware to run their model.

Theoretically the best move for them would be to train their own, larger model using the same technique (as to still fully utilize their hardware) but this is easier said than done.

“everything everywhere all at once” was made largely in Blender I think, it’s the most popular film from a studio using Blender that I know of

edit: on a more serious note, yes, when studying the biology of humans or similar organisms probably 99% of the time you can pretend there are only two genders/sexes, but

1. that doesn’t make it true
2. even just 1.7% of the U.S. population is still a pretty big number (~580k people)

declare pi is 4 via executive order

I’m not autistic, just ADHD but I do honestly feel like double checking that figure here

edit: i’d estimate 62.1% full

and assuming that glass is perfectly radially symmetric (idk if that is the correct term or not) you would not ever need to do that much math

if you had the actual glass you could probably do a much more accurate measurement just with a graduated cylinder

I think the main difficulty is getting companies like Gmail to recognize your domain as legitimate, as they don’t by default

The most recent failure was when everyone was making fun of google search ai for a month because it was quoting blatantly wrong reddit users (who were often joking about something, and it took them seriously)

Generally I think what companies do nowadays for normal models (not the searching a knowledge base thing that Google was doing) is they train a model on basically everything and then bring it into a tuning stage with just approved texts to improve it, and then a human feedback tuning stage to improve it more

Did they make money? obviously not.

Will it help them make money in the future? nobody knows. Probably not as much as it could have, we’ll have to wait and see.

for game development apparently godot has a standalone version for Meta headsets, but it doesn’t really work on the Vision Pro other than some community version that only allows it to display 3d models in small bounds because of OS restrictions, theoretically it should work immersively with WebXR but I don’t really know (and then you have to limit your game to what can feasibly be downloaded in a few seconds)
