TL:DR The stuff the dedicated module is doing will go inside specific Mediatek chips on specific premium monitors
Really weird it’s taken this long - I remember reading that the modules were expensive and assumed it was just because they were early generations and Nvidia was still working things out
I get to work from home every day, and so does my wife.
We each have our office space so we can work in peace but at any point in the day we can just have a chat, we can have lunch together, we can have our evening planned and be out of the door at 5pm
It’s just all so much better than the old office-based life
It was actually pretty great when I worked for a company making things here in england:
“That needs to move 50cm” meant it had to move exactly 500mm
“That needs to move a foot” meant just kick it over about a foot
It was just an unspoken thing that metric meant precise and imperial was just caveman measuring
Negative votes for essentially just saying people should drive safely and have that be enforced with technology. Gotta love it
Was about to post this: the unedited version at the end being included makes me think this came out of a David Mitchell rant
Yup, pull it out and they turn to bones
Got into making redstone logic in Minecraft, including joining a community of people building all kinds of crazy things like CPUs. This was early days too - I think the repeater was brand new
Eventually wanted to make mods so started learning Java. Was bad at it. Then wanted to make games in unity. Was bad at it. Learned C++ at Uni. Dropped out and was bad at it.
Kind of repeated this cycle for various languages and tools for years, never with enough motivation to learn properly. Eventually I hit a critical mass of skill and was able to actually make things in HTML/JS and over a couple years this snowballs until surprisingly quickly I find myself a senior developer teaching others!
I like to shoot for the middle ground: skim for key functions and check those, run code locally to see if it does roughly what I think it should do and if it does merge it into dev and see what breaks.
Small PRs get nitpicked to death since they’re almost certainly around more important code
We had a zoom call with a very well reviewed, recommended broker local to us. Next day I get a spam call pretending to be the bank we talked about the most as a lender, but that we currently have no business with. My paranoia has been at 100% ever since
Assuming a ground clearance of 10cm, and a wheelbase of 2.4m (source: my ass) then you can construct an arc under the wheels
This arc says you could drive such a car on an earth with radius as small as 7.25m. Actually, it could be slightly smaller because of where the wheels would contact, but I’ve lost interest
People look down on Javascript (and therefore Typescript) but as someone who learned by doing I think its a really good option
Once you get past the hello world phase you can take it any direction you want: websites/apps, command-line stuff, desktop apps you name it. Just avoid the trap of getting sucked into specific frameworks or loads of tooling early on and learn the language
W3schools is a great resource and you can do the examples and exercises right there in your browser
I may be dumb about this stuff but what is an SPF? How does vit c boost it?
Outlasted 4 and 1 - charles hasn’t died yet
Most people (even with otherwise good understanding of tech) still fail to grasp that “an NFT” is not the monkey picture itself.
This is both why some managed to be bought for insane prices, and why we see reporting like this.
Your examples would actually be a useful case for NFTs since you’d have to both have a genuine card, and the token saying its genuine
I’ve been trying to get my local council to enforce the law on the road near me and have just been fobbed off repeatedly.
It’s a 30 road, with a school and loads of pedestrians and cyclists using it yet we see people running the red lights, speeding well over 50 and doing crazy overtakes DAILY
I’ve driven and cycled in 3 other countries and England is by far the scariest, feels like every other driver is trying to kill you
I think most of the horror stories are from people printing way too fast and too low
Many people print with too small z-offset because “that’s when it sticks”. you can get away with it in pla but petg will just become a mess
To make you less anxious:
A friend of mine had issues with his (much older) PC, stuttering in games and similar but it still worked
When I took a look I found it was pegged throttling at 100deg after running for a while. This had been going on for months
Eventually found the AIO pump had completely died, any cooling was due to passive conduction through the materials and water
We replaced the cooler and now it’s been running fine for another 3 years and going
TL:DR: modern CPUs can run hot, and safely boost. As it gets too hot it will start reducing clocks but it’s highly unlikely you damage anything unless you go out of your way to overclock, overvolt or ditch the cooler entirely
I honestly wouldn’t worry about it, especially with the weather as it is at the moment- my PC is getting about the same with a 3900x, nice noctua cooler and loads of airflow It’s been going over 30 in my office and even the best coolers can’t break that physics
Check again when it cools down, might make it easier to see if/where there are issues
It’s not stateless end-to-end, it just means the client needs to keep track and pass the state rather than drivers or hardware
I’m not 100% on the motivation but from an architectural standpoint it does make sense - your software can now do many new and weird things without a hardware change
One example I saw was allowing an arbitrary number of streams to be processed simultaneously, just passing the different context state for each stream
Time taken for me to eat that mass of hotdogs
