Honestly what is "AI generated math"?

Everything is WFFs all the way down

One of the most egregious cases of sub capture was definitely r/fauxmoi

Jeeves, that's a name I haven't heard in a long time...

Yes but I think the launch was more than that :)

> Payload is 26 starlink v3 satellites.

F9 fits how many?

Yes, gas engines have very bad efficiency. The best way to run them is with constant torque and RPM, that is, charging a battery

And yes the Atkinson cycle helps

True, at this time (not that it was ever better) we can't expect anything but this kind of attitude from him

Much ado about nothing:

- Meta didn't block their page, they blocked their Ad account.

- The account has been reestablished already

This was probably because their campaign shipped complete misinformation about the opposing candidate (with several profiles boosting the same misinformation) but when they do it, that's cool, right?

"slight modifications" it's entirely

In most places taxis can be identified as: having a specific color/color pattern and/or a ceiling fixture

It is by design because you want taxis to stand out from other vehicles

Computers got better, true

But those were much cooler than the ones today

> The mission consists of 15 different vehicles and spacecraft plus two launch vehicles

Yeah still looks like an overcomplicated project

Maybe that's why China can make it work

Honestly this is not surprising, and as much as politics suck, the rocket equation sucks harder

Mars has a little bit less gravity than Earth

How big would a rocket need to be even to send a small payload (let's think 20kg/45lb) even suborbitally so that it can be caught by another spaceship

Now check how big a rocket has to be to send all of that from Earth

You'd probably have to send this on Starship. And refuel it while on orbit

I wonder how does this fits in the general Game development pipeline

Is it Story -> Characters -> Puzzles?

Theme -> Characters -> Story -> Puzzles?

Or everything everywhere all at once?

Are the character descriptions in this doc leading the Story or derived from it?

How much of the story is built around Gameplay and its limitations? (I think I remember GF requiring 2 CDs?)

I wonder how easy it would be to translate it today with LLMs and have a translated version running on ScummVM

Interesting

I guess it would be "trivial" to have a bounty on each of the future numbers, since you could encrypt a bitcoin private key with it (it would probably make sense to do RSA -> AES key that encodes the BTC private key)

This makes no sense to me

If I think about asm:

function1:

    (do stuff)

    jp function1

    ret

function2:

    (other stuff)

    ret

main:

    call function1

    call function2

the 2nd call might happen internally due to branch prediction but in practice it shouldn't and the processor fixes this

Oh yeah and TFA also goes with:

> The funny bit is that C got this right.(...) but C included one more rule: loops whose controlling expression is a constant expression may not be assumed to terminate.

Well, duh! A broken clock is right twice a day it seems

I think it's more like a (kinda) VLIW machine but yes, pretty much

They do

x86 bytecode is bytecode

Yeah, works if you're 2h away from the venue.

> That marketing guy should not be talking to the press, as he does not have the skills

They have way more skills than the technical folk in doing that

If I had been just out of Uni I would think this is edgy

Now I'm just glad I'm not responsible for this fire

Funny, to justify Brexit numbers like these were meaningless

No, it seems governments can only ignore the concerns then complain the 'alt-right' parties get voted

It's not a "bunch of teenagers", a regular pipe won't cause a train to derail, one would need heavy machinery to move that rail in France

Enjoy and consume $product faster

Thanks for buying $product, $consumer

Not from an external point of view, as you might have a momentum component perpendicular to that plane

(but yes I think you might be right if we're centered on the CG)

Yes. Because 3 points are coplanar, so every "3D problem" with 3 objects can be turned into a 2D problem on the correspondent plane

(of course in real life your plane would keep changing, and probably some other complicated math I can't think right now)

Shoelaces suck basically

> It seems more sensible to maintain a fleet of Windows desktops specifically for CAD and industrial control.

I don't see why. Build a VM image in the more sensible OS and work from there

Don't worry about IT support, just burn the VM and replace whenever something gets weird

They probably can solve every video driver issue they find or just find a way to use an nVidia card on a beefy Intel Mac

(or do the same on Linux - also possible)

Yes I want to scream everytime a tool gives me crap for "no newline at end of file" or other similar BS

I don't care. I never cared. And every sane tool knows how to deal with it

Shut up and stop thinking we're still in the 70s
