I must be doing something incredibly wrong. I'm on an RTX 5090. I told it to make a 5 second 864x480 video, it's been running for over 30 minutes and is only 35% done in the Sample…

> Brandolini's principle I much prefer the alternative name: the Bullshit Asymmetry Principle.

Yeah, maybe that's what was it. Tbh, while I bring up Project Highrise whenever someone mentions SimTower, I did always feel like it was missing something. Something always felt sl…

If you liked SimTower, Project Highrise is worth taking a look into. https://store.steampowered.com/app/423580/Project_Highrise/

In the middle or end of the day, yes. In the morning, waiting on the bottom floor is the best. Unless you're a hotel. Then the timing is flipped: Wait in a distributed manner in th…

Exactly. Having only a 100 mile range is plenty for your daily driving, but if you can't charge at home, it becomes very disruptive. Short range EVs typically only support J-1772 w…

> EVs should be built with 100 - 150 mile range. [..] if they need to go longer, US has a robust rental car industry As an EV owner myself, no. Absolutely not. The reason is simple…

At least for the early levels, the input and output nodes should start already laid out. I'd also like the ability to skip levels. I already know how gates and full adders work. It…

I wish I could be this blissfully naive. China is becoming an intellectual powerhouse in addition to a manufacturing powerhouse and runs huge spyware and propaganda campaigns. Read…

I'm always surprised to hear people hate Discord's UI. I think it's fine. The only thing I was probably change is adding the ability to bookmark specific channels so I can switch t…

What the hell did Biden or Obama do that was extreme left? We can't even get universal healthcare passed.

1.6.4 released in 2013. I'm pretty sure I had 8 GB back then, possibly 16 GB. I can't imagine how poorly that ran.

It was Stephen Colbert, back in 2006 during a White House Correspondents' Dinner, which of course was during the Bush administration. The exact line is "Reality has a well-known li…

Anecdotes like yours are why I'll probably remain on Windows for the foreseeable future. Games on Windows just work . It's not even a question. I don't remember the last time I had…

And as much as I love Python, being able to multiple a string by an integer doesn't make sense when adding an integer to a string is a TypeError. Being able to repeat a string is f…

Video can be good if you stick to a garden path of simple scenes with tons of examples in the training material and not a ton of motion between overlapping objects in a scene, and …

School teachers leaving the pointer in the middle of the video.

Motion blur is great when done right, but most games do it wrong, so it gets a bad rap. The two sins are: 1. Blurring things that shouldn't be blurred. 2. Blurring too much. Racing…

It'd be a case where the spirit of the law clashes with the letter of the law. Sony's lawyers would argue about how things are, while your defense has to argue about how things sho…

This is incorrect. N64 came out in the USA in September 1996. 3dfx Voodoo was released to consumers in October 1996.

> GPUs existed, and were being used, before the N64. Video cards existed, but 3D accelerators didn't really catch on until the 3dfx Voodoo, which came out about the same time as th…
