lime!

fun fact: IBM asked for, and got, an exception from that clause.

hashtag not sponsored, my current razor is a Leaf. great little thing, it takes three single-sided blades (or 1.5 normal ones snapped it half) and is used just like a cartridge razor. it’s a bit expensive at €80 or so, but it’s completely metal so i expect it to outlast most other stuff in my bathroom.

ray tracing mimics the way light bounces around on surfaces in real time. it does this by tracing rays from light sources in game and colouring the objects they hit. the rays then “bounce” off of the objects and redo the same step of colouring. this needs to be done for every pixel you can see.

in regards to it changing video games: idk, how much do you care about lighting?

oh me too we should hang out

Note that only the highest exponent is relevant. With some work we could prove that for example O(n^3 + n^2 + n) is equivalent to O(n^3).

just adding on for others that “some work” can be simply explained as figuring out the answer to “as n grows, which of n³, n² or n affects the result the most?”

it’s not really about the type of data, it’s more about how you get it. web browsers could open gopher URIs for a long time, it was just a separate access method.

but the thing is, it doesn’t really make a difference today, because we’ve decided that http is some sort of base protocol.

someone decided to try making a custom matrix:// scheme (it’s called a scheme btw) for matrix clients and it’s just been a nightmare. clients don’t know what to do with the url, servers block it, we had to patch it out to get it to properly encrypt messages to our local homeserver. and matrix just uses http on top anyway.

no, i think they should be reserved for protocols that are important enough to be in the <1000 range of ports. like SSH, or Doom multiplayer.

i love it when everything goes quiet and after 20 seconds, someone just wheezes into the mic

i don’t think any manufacturer publishes the voltage their devices run at, could be anywhere from 3.3 to 5V. so i don’t know how an end-user is supposed to compare battery sizes between devices.

you would be a bit peeved as well if one guy in a lecture hall with 150 people constantly asked you to convert every measurement in your talk to something only that guy understands.

well in my language they’re “runners” so i guess i should have thought a bit harder there…

well, til!

jesters? they’re bishops…

yeah, Uniper is a major stakeholder in the Oskarshamn and Forsmark power plants, and it was absorbed into the German state in 2022.

mfer nationalised the comments section just like they did the swedish nuclear power plants

no, the frog explicitly dies having not noticed.

not only that imo, with this extra layer it serves to illustrate how the complacency is not innate. everybody has a breaking point, but we have been told that we will just take it if it is gradual enough.

i learned recently that this is a false premise; the frogs will get out when the water gets too warm for them. which imo makes its proliferation even more apt; it makes sense that they would, but we’ve so used to the narrative that we keep this factoid going without questioning it.

never heard that before. one can easily train their own model on just a single celeb’s face (since there are usually so many pictures of a given celeb) and use that on their own machine.
