I wish we can limit AI in posts such as here, and/or for some creators. As an example Two Minute Papers used to to be great but these days he's mostly covering AI advances, which to be honest become boring really…
A common meme you'll see on ADHD in online posts are about how people with it are perfectly calm during emergencies, but then when any inconsequential thing happens such as e.g. breaking a shoelace and they'll just…
That's quite a complicated problem. If someone comes to me and asks a general question I can easily say no. But if I go up to for example a librarian and ask them where to find book N, then I would expect them to either…
Very nice results. For my Unity C# code I use Andy's package: https://github.com/andywiecko/BurstTriangulator Looking at his performance graph it looks like he does about 1 million points in around 320ms or so (if I…
Two Minute Papers often post info on some cloth papers: https://www.youtube.com/@TwoMinutePapers/videos Here's just one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wibbnn3hV4U
Unity has begun to roll out CoreCLR in beta now which is a move from Mono to modern .NET 10. The official release and LTS versions are still some months out though.
My favourite is probably Bepuphysics due to its C# nature: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjtwSq3u6Dg Unfortunately it was created before Unity could use vectorization and other C# engines were just starting out as…
My favourite way of playing old Civ 1-3 as a kid was to build a solid circle of units that would gradually expand and move out to fill all the available space. Eventually you'd own all the land and your units would just…
Some more interesting topics around the subject that I haven't seen covered in the comments: - Hololive is huge and they definitely take a decent cut for their efforts. But why do people sign with them? The short answer…
I also wondered this before I ever saw any. There is a gradient from someone streaming with no cam, then a non-human vtuber, then human vtuber and finally a real human. The simplest answer is probably that we all have…
Cultural fit is the number one predictor for a successful fit, however a big wall here is with certain personality types (especially surrounding IT). In general we don't open up easily to strangers and hate personal…
As a kid I found it interesting that people pretty much always crossed their arms and/or their legs when sitting on the ground in the same pattern. After that re-trained myself a few times out of interest to do it the…
There's a matching eye/brain condition where older people very rapidly develop cataracts or other eye problems and they spontaneously start seeing little people everywhere. Usually their vision becomes blurry, but the…
I've somehow managed to train mine out of trying to fluff me up the whole time, its become very factual. Overall it saves me a lot of time reading when it's just focusing on the details.
You also often need several tiers of pausing. For example when paused you want the current game time to be zero, but you also want to ignore only some user inputs. You don't want to disable the menu or pause/unpause…
Not mentioned is that studies are showing that areas over solar farms remain stable in temperature, but surrounding areas get a few degrees warmer, which is problematic for either people living close to them and/or if…
Although looking at his, several of them are so covered in dots as to be opaque anyway. I'd have maybe used different colored dots, e.g. N blue, then remove them and place 1 green etc. as a counter and so on.
I kind of wonder what the key difference is over 40 years for typing text vs code. I type text at a rather slow rate due to poor training and never having really tried to improve, but when it comes to code I can output…
Ah, very cool. My personal favourite is this one: https://archive.org/details/engineeringformu00giec_0/page/n5... My father owned a copy of it which I still have to this day. It had a lot of different formulas than the…
And yet somehow the stats show that most likely 2026 is easily on track to be a bumper gaming year, surpassing 2025. Revenue wise they might be down from the 6bn in 2025 to somewhere in the mid 5's, so might as well get…
I find that it's like telling twins apart. If you don't know them they may be very similar, but once you spend some time with them it can become very obvious as to who is who. We all have our own rules that we've built…
I use it near daily and there is definitely a positive there, BUT its nothing like what the OP statement would make it up to be. If it is writing both the code and the tests then you're going to find that its tests are…
I'm 50 and still have all mine. One of them is at a 90 degree angle pointing forward as well. I grew up in a time/place where you never went to the dentist or doctor unless if you were pretty much dying, but at least…
The assumption here is that AI can produce "strong" work, when in reality its the opposite. Its great at generating boilerplate or code that's been done by everyone. Instead do the opposite and give it a really hard…
The sad thing about AI usage and the lack of jobs here in the poorer part of the world is that around the $6 mark per hour there would be literal queues of people forming to sign up for the job. At about the $10-12 mark…
