That’s a whole 'nother discussion.

It includes rainbow thigh-highs.

NoP spotted in the wild! =D

Holy Shit, making it from the nearest hotel across the canal turns a 1-mile walk into a 6-mile hike =U

That has to be deliberate, there’s no other excuse for it.

It sounds like a joke, but maybe this memory crunch might get devs to do a bit more work on the efficiency of their games.

Same, the whole industry is nothing but a grift.

Save everything you want to keep

What, precisely, are you suggesting is different about cell phone batteries that wouldn’t also apply to the batteries in NASA’s DSLRs and GoPros?

I’m not ready to talk about it publicly, but it’s been a lot. =/

Chill, buddy.

NASA has been flying batteries on manned missions for decades. If your all-caps nonsense were a real problem, then NASA could just use something other than lithium ion like NiCad.

It’s NASA, if they decide it’s that much of a threat then they can have an intern frankenstein together an adapter for their own certified batteries in an afternoon.

Now that “Anti-woke” ideology has been revealed as a psyop by the Epstein files, I’m very curious to see if Trey Stone and Matt Parker will choose to reckon with their own contributions or if they’ll double-down.

I don’t like South Park because of that smug, sanctimonious tone either, but my housemates love it and regularly leave re-runs playing for background noise as they go about their day, so allow me to offer that same criticism from someone that has seen every episode multiple times and can offer something “real” to back it up:

The long arc of the South Park plot follows Trey and Parker’s political development from bitter, unknown California Republicans with sarcastic, nihilist tendencies to disillusioned Big Hollywood Conservatives with sarcastic, nihilistic tendencies being forced to reckon with the fact that their past attempts at satire have either had no impact or have actually reinforced the perceived social ills they pretend to mock.

Al Gore’s portrayal in S22E06 “Time to get Cereal” exemplifies this, even after he is proven to have been right about ManBearPig all along, this later appearance shows him as still being a huge weenie that cares more about being acknowledged as having been right than wanting to actually solve the problem. Having belatedly acknowledged the existential threat, Trey and Parker still can’t bring themselves to issue a call to action, and everything goes back to normal after they kick the can a little further down the road.

Thus, the smug, sanctimonious tone has been a constant throughout, as if they still imagine that the greatest sin is caring about things. They’re so heavy-handed about it that they lampoon this aspect of their own show in Kyle’s “Don’t you see,” and “Y’know, I’ve learned something today” closing monologues. Even when he’s telling a real political truth, like in the banned S16E06 where the text of the monologue is an admission that terrorism works and the subtext is a refusal to acknowledge their own contributions to post-9/11 anti-muslim discrimination in America, Jesus (representing mainstream American Christianity) gives falsely-sincere advice to the gingers (who represent all minority groups facing irrational discrimination) that they just need to get as violent as the most aggressive extremists so that people will respect them. Which is itself a smug, sanctimonious, and sarcastic way of suggesting that they can never be respected as people, only either seen as lesser or feared as an enemy.

And not just the resources, those orbits are going to be cluttered with slowly-deorbiting junk too. Until we get around to making something that can clean them up, we won’t be able to put anything else there.

If there are game devs that want to try making a game out of a fluid sim, I’d be all for it. Realistically, most devs will have to wait for better middleware that adds NPU matrix acceleration to existing game engines.

You can do lots of useful work with processors designed for large matrix calculus, but not a lot of folks want to run physics sims for some reason.

Then take it back (of course, I’m talking about Linux)

Oh yeah, the name is both descriptive and wildly scifi. XD

Absolutely. But at least that bubble is popping. Soon we won’t have to worry about AI mania anymore. XD

They’re a real thing, crystaline structures with an oscillating temporal component.

This makes a lot of sense though, from the description it sounds like they’re trying to build an NPU out of memristors. We’ve been expecting them to show up to do this kind of math for a bit, since they’d cut a lot of redundant computation out of the layered matrix calculus that NPUs are optimized for if we can make them small, fast, and reliable enough.

And it’s not just for “AI”. A lot of problems, like physics modeling or speech recognition, can be reduced to matrix math. An analog, programmable memristor network can do that kind of calculus almost passively.
