8·10 days agoHonestly AAA studios don’t even exist anymore. Is there any gaming studio making multipe $60 games per year you can name where you would vouch for the quality of their games solely on the basis of who made it?
Maybe some first party console games(and even then only some series), but nothing for PC.
217·10 days ago8/10 for effort, 10/10 for style, but 3.5/10 for execution. The phrase too cute by half springs to mind, but this is closer to too cute by three quarters.
It almost looks like massive unfunded tax cuts for the ultra wealthy and big business don’t lead to job growth.
32·11 days agoIm thinking that the finals is not utilizing my nvidia graphics card so if anyone has advice i would greatly appreciate
Well, if you have a suspicion, start with confirming it. Simplest test, does the card get hot? Is the fan spinning up? If you install a gpu monitor does it show a spike? Does your CPU even have integrated graphics?

Special thanks to Microsoft for going out of their way to help make this possible
This is hardly a new thing for MS. One of the first emails I remember getting when I got to college back in 2003 was from campus IT begging people not to install the latest XP update because it reenabled a vulnerability to existing malware.

1·26 days agoI expect they will not be worth it as they’re too underpowered for your specific use case. (I’m assuming your use case is hosting complex physical similations for a major university physics department and the old computer you’re considering on Amazon is a used version of this one or something similar.)
For my home server I use whatever old PC I have laying around already.
Guy whose job it is to sling shit, slings shit. More at 11.
Those casinos were in Atlantic City. He also lost tens of millions of dollars on one of the most famous and prestigious hotels in New York City. He lost money trying to sell mail-order steaks and whiskey in the United States. He also lost money trying to operate a university during the biggest education bubble in history. He also stole classified documents, ‘lost’ them, and got huge numbers of foreign assets killed. He openly advocates for ending democracy. And as the cherry on top of that shit sandwich, brags about sexually battering women.
If there is one person’s advice on beating Trump we should definitely not consider…
Seems like a peculiar choice to direct that title to people who were never going to take his word for it to begin with.
Articles like this fundamentally misunderstand where so much of Trump’s support comes from. Supporters don’t like like him because they think he’s telling the truth. They claim he’s telling the truth because they like him. Weighing evidence is not what drove them to support him and piling more evidence on the other other side of the scale isn’t going to drive them away. The judgement comes first, the rationale second.
They’re in it for the vibe. They like that he pisses people off; that he is apparently accountable to no one; that he treats people like dirt if it’s convenient for him; that he lies whenever he wants. To Trump’s base these actions are the hallmark of power and charisma. He is the kind of person they wish they had the courage to be, at least sometimes.
He is a classic archetype: the heel. If you want to beat him, then he must be made to look weak and pathetic. He has to be humiliated in a way that that his supporters cannot ignore. Fact-checking him is never going to be enough.
21·1 month agoWhat’s happening here is single sentence from the conclusion of paper with the explanation and caveats removed is being cherry picked by another author who then uses it to pretend it means what he thinks it means and make spurious arguments. Pointing at the paper and exclaiming “Science!” isn’t a defense. The paper posits human anatomy and physiology that does not exist to reach their speed. It’s scarcely different than referencing a paper pointing out humans would swim faster if only they had flippers.
The claim that humanity with all the money, medicine, science, and effort placed into recruiting and training world class sprinters has only managed to achieve less than 70% of the potential top speed for a human and that someone could pop up in the next couple decades that could drop the world record by more than it has moved in the last century in one fell swoop is not plausible. Sprinting is too close to raw power output for this kind record movement and if your analysis says that it is then you need to go back to the drawing board.
