    You're leaving out an important aspect that Blade Runner displays. In the opening crawl replicants are called androids and this leads the audience to believe that they are mechanic…

    Oddly specific niche jumpscare. Which games? Cookie clicker and universal paperclips are the household names, but reactor idle based off of ic2 has been my favorite gameplay-wise. …

    I recommend It Came From Something Awful. It's short and the thesis is that corporate co-option of counter culture pushed the internet over the precipice.

    Yes, that's good. It also prices out a lot of other better uses for their labor. Projects I work on have seen prices soar. I don't consider building the things everyone hates becau…

    Which episode? I subscribe but I don't have the attention surplus to listen to them all.

    CRTs are a stronger example. The R&D Sony has lost to the sands of time means we would need decades of sustained effort to reach the same quality of shadow mask that we used to hav…

    Any plans for reddit to compensate their contributors?

    I am disputing that cosmic ray showers are the obvious dominant source of terrestrial DRAM bit flips.

    That's a much weaker statement than "the primary source of uncorrelated bit flips is cosmic radiation".

    The ECC on the GTX 1080 let me figure out the optimal overclock with the only feedback mechanism being benchmarked throughout.

    >The primary source of uncorrelated bit-flips is, effectively, cosmic radiation. This gets said a lot but with little evidence. The mario speedrun bit flip has been replicated with…

    If you are only using chatbots for code gen then for sure this is a reasonable approach. If you're trying to learn something then your best bet is to not have the lowest jpg qualit…

    We could probably get the same results by offloading 20% of obviously smaller / simpler / well defined tasks to smaller models and keep the 80% for ones that benefit from the big i…

    Docker compose + systemd, automated backups (bonus points for coordinating with restic/borg + rsync cronjob), and ram disks. Ram disks in particular are a game changer for game fee…

    Flatten would mean there is a profitable business model. It's been years since people have been too tired of repeatedly asking "where will the profit come from?" with no answer. Th…

    OSHPark is bare board fab only but JLC does turnkey. I've enjoyed working with CircuitHub for turnkey prototypes. I'm not in love with the web interface (source files must be uploa…

    USAA doesn't operate its own mortgages anymore. They sell them day one which usually results in another sale or company acquisition within a year. The cure? Take your business else…

    Valve is a similar size to id tech. They have two tricks: be in a business other than games and be privately owned. The former gives them the ability to weather storms and the latt…
