>untamed superiority complex

>myopic nerd

>motivated by ressentiment

----------------------------------

>"We have big problems and mediocre self-driving cars won't solve them" is insecurity now?

Nobody even meant to imply that.

yeetard··on How I See Numbers
Not necessarily synesthesia. I think what OP describes is closer to Ideasthesia which indeed isn't as uncommon.
yeetard··on How I See Numbers
So, a few question to all the number-as-shapes-in-head-representators out there: What happens in front of your inner eye when you do more complicated operations like exponentials, modulo, ...? Do you have distinct visualisation for certain ways to represent a number (roots, fractions and so on) too? And do these representations help you when you solve a problem where you don't have to "count" anything, like when you have to write a proof or something?

> I use the term liberally as a euphemism for hacking these contracts and taking everything for yourself under the observation that company/community bug bounty systems are broken and undervalued for the value they provide.

hmm...

Isn't that the actual bug? That balances are kept at two places? What actually happens in SetBalance() if rcfg.UsingOVM ==true?

So... I guess what it boils down to is 'How does Optimism manage it's state trie'? I'd really enjoy a more in-depth explanation for this.

yeetard··on Ask HN: Experimented with Transcranial Direct-Current Stimulation (TDCS)?
For what reason? What device do you consider buying and how do you plan using it? I wasn't even aware that they can be bought anywhere for non-medical use. I don't see any reason why it would be a good idea to buy one.
yeetard··on Taking Virtual Reality for a Test Drive
True. I feel like all the inconvenience that comes with VR would be justifiable, if it could actually create true immersion. But it can't and never will. Basic problems of VR aren't solvable. Just to fix motion sickness once and for all, there would have to be a device that fucks with the vestibular system or something that moves the player in the real world at close the velocity that the player is moving in the virtual world (Like a giant crane or something).I really can only see VR working as like a public thing where you go with friends in your free time similar to a cinema. Maybe "VR cafes" could be a thing in the future, like those gaming cafes are in south Korea. For home consumers VR-gaming will always stay just a fun addition to regular gaming, as they will never be able to afford the hardware that can make a VR experience not suck. I think it would be a huge success already if studios would make there regular games naively playable in VR. I think it says a lot about VR software that beat sabers is still the most popular VR game although it does not even try to use the full potential that VR truly has. Could as well be a mediocre Wii game.
