Lockdown/wfh related perhaps? I would definitely say I've become significantly more sedentary, likewise for many of my friends and coworkers, given we're all in tech.

Pretty sure unreal engine 4 and 5 have garbage collection built into the runtime

I'm inclined to think a lot of people only live near cities because 1) they work in it and have no choice but to live nearby, otherwise suffer a nightmarish commute and 2) it's the…

Japan has been framed as weird and backwards since the 80s and 90s when the US took issue with their rising economy and encroachment on western industries

It's a better ballpark, but it's still an ideal number measured by the manufacturer using their own tests. Problem is, companies rarely if ever source the exact same design to mult…

I think this is it: https://www.newsweek.com/why-visa-mastercard-being-blamed-on... It seems the feminist angle was more of a general anti-porn thing observed by a lawyer in the fi…

It should be ahead of Intel 4 ("4nm"). Samsung 5nm density is approximately 127M gates/mmsq on paper. Samsung 4nm will scale to around 0.75x area according to their China conferenc…

Iirc onlyfans was actually because Christian special interests and feminists pressured financial institutions to drop them. I'll try to find the article that discussed it

The context is the same in regards to the self afflicted conditions he mentioned

Pretty much any company operating in a major US city.

It's impossible to make a case to right wingers because 2nd generation immigrants tend to be strictly left wing, and more progressive to boot. And imo, as a 2nd generation asian am…

The lithography is just a step of the process. I'm just a layman but there's a lot of chemistry involved in just the processing of materials like coating and etching the wafers, pa…

Public school was probably the most miserable part of my life, especially as one of the only asians in a black and white heavy school district. The few years my parents afforded pr…

There's a certain irony that the urbanists who advocate high density big city living are also the kind of people who escape at the first sign of trouble or rising cost, which they …

Didn't the NRA help form early gun control laws?

They didn't kill openCL. 2.0 was evidently unpopular with everyone. Not sure why you're trying to pin it on nvidia. And afaik Nvidia's only stated position on CUDA is that it's roy…

Nvidia never did that though.

Honestly, a lot of Americans don't even seem to be aware of massacres committed by former enemies like North Vietnam after they won the Vietnam War. It's not a surprise they're not…

Lock down the economy, kill small businesses, hand out printed money like candy to big corporations. Nothing suspicious going on...

Pure Harvard Business School spreadsheet stuff. Business degrees might be destroying the nation.
