The ti84 is not that high resolution

I suspect that if you’re now playing where everyone else gets the same advantages, that ruins the fun of having cheats

If not and the cheats themselves are just that fun to use, sure, add it in as another gamemode

ldk, avif looks really good at the really high compression ratios. My problem with it is that usually it includes lots of details, except those details weren’t the actual details of the original image. It just kinda hallucinates them

Also ofc the unlimited layers, great lossless mode, and high color depth etc would still make jxl a better universal choice, but avif just looks better at the ultra low end

I get why games do that light thing but it really makes absolutely no sense optically

People make it sound like its some extreme time consuming task to learn rust. Rust actually gives helpful compiler errors tho and there’s a lot of resources online.

I was able to start making some basic things in rust (like an ascii-rendered brute force n-body simulation) with the help of a few google searches after just like 2 days of messing around in my free time. I’m sure reading kernel stuff requires much more advanced knowledge than what I have but it’s really not a large barrier.

variable width extrusions are great, you can get a whole lot more detail in thin areas just automatically now

There’s also tree supports (usually less material and much easier to design for and remove), lightning infill (weak infill for non-structural models)

maybe some other features that i’m forgetting

I would guess it’s the average color under the crewmate, or just sampled at the center point from a rescaled image.

It looks like the color never changes over a crewmate, so it’s probably not just an overlay

Someone also linked above a generator for these images but it sounds like there are several

The limit (with infinite districts made of infinite people) is theoretically 1/4 support, in a 2 party system, with a choice made from separately decided districts. If you add another level of districts, it could be 1/8, another would be 1/16, and so on.

In practice you can’t make a district with actually 100% support of the opposing party, and you need to leave a little room for error in the districts you plan to win. Also there aren’t an infinite number of districts lol

I agree, republican propaganda is just insanely successful in that they have people believing that they’re the only source of truth and everyone else, even scientific papers, is biased, wrong, and “written by the enemy”

By the time a republican sees an actual accurate source, their news media has already prepared them with several excuses for why that isn’t actually something to be paid attention to.

Yea, it’s probably better than “[random person]'s warbler”

Don’t they have the whole “copilot+ ready pc” branding thing now for computers with npus? is none of it actually local yet?

I have a laptop with 4gb ram that i’ve been using kde plasma on and fairly frequently it just freezes or I have to restart because I had like 6 tabs open in firefox

Although I don’t remember having that problem as much when I was on xfce, but I also might not have been using it as heavily then

I’ve never had a similar problem with chrome on chromeos with the same amount of ram, I think chrome+chromeos might be more aggressive with unloading tabs

Sometimes it does actually kill firefox but sometimes it just becomes very slow (1-2 seconds per frame) or freezes entirely for several minutes when out of memory. Might be just because the swap is really slow, but there’s just 2gb of that, why would it freeze for several minutes? (One time this was happening was when I was trying to compile llvm on two threads, I ended up having to temporarily kill the desktop environment to save ram)

I think DLSS/FSR/XeSS is a good example of something that is clearly ethical and also clearly generative AI. Can’t really think of many others lol

A lot of that is shadows and lighting data, sometimes in unusual data structures without readily available compression methods. Compressing textures also impacts load times, obviously decompressing 10gb of jpgs could take a while. Still probably there are good compression methods and good tradeoffs to make, if any AAA studios actually cared about storage space (They do care a lot about GPU memory, just not storage space).

Raw pizza dough smells nice

(and tastes nice, although i’ve heard you have to be careful now with salmonella in the flour, even though it doesn’t have eggs)

The normals are a bit bumpy because smooth shading only looks smooth if the geometry perfectly follows the smooth curve, it gets messed up by weird topology

Edit: near the fins on the bottle cap

I wonder what the best way to make that top surface would be, to get the shading smooth. I feel like the easiest way would be to just use a bevel shader and not a real bevel. I’m not very experienced with that sort of hard surface stuff, maybe there’s a way to get higher quality geometry with a real bevel but idk how you would do that. Honestly way easier to do in cad software, bevels are just pretty limited in blender. (I remember hearing about this bevel revamp they were doing in a bcon talk about that several years ago, but it sounds like progress has been fairly slow https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/issues/98674)
