Anyone who spent time in Second Life would know that user-generated worlds are terrible for graphical performance, because people want to stick in as much content as possible and don’t approach it in the same methodical way as a game designer would.
So in SL that gets you sims with 3 fps on a good graphics card, and people who are greyed out because their clothing complexity exceeds your graphics limits. Now imagine wearing that 3fps glitchiness in a VR headset.
Furiosa was much better at showing what was happening and why, but reviewers didn’t seem to like it as much
Trains but without having to sit next to people who aren’t your staff.
if you use more than one computer, watch out that you can’t play the same savegame on both
No red diagonals though - this is like some vexillology circlejerk “If England was colonised by the Kingdom of Great Britain’s navy” flag
It might also be people who want to log in to their computer with a local account, given the problems with letting a US company decide who can use your computer and who can access your files.
“might have been ome of those other tomahawk owners”
sure, lets look at Denmark and Australia to see how active they were in this conflict…
To be fair, the deepseek model was happy to talk about that stuff - it was just if you used it via the deepseek website that it got filtered.
À l’eau - c’est l’heure.
I’d have to credit Belle for the idea, but thanks!
We can prove this just using Trump’s own words…
“But what this does is it allows the ships to go. If we keep bombing, those ships won’t be going”
So Trump is admitting that Iran controls the strait. What, practically, does that mean for the US?
“we run out of [oil] reserves in about four weeks”
Sounds like he is under some time pressure! What would happen if it wasn’t solved by then?
“[markets would] go down at levels that nobody ever saw before, maybe except for 1929”
Oh. That sounds bad?
So how likely is he to avoid this outcome by winning the war within the next four weeks?
“if we didn’t do this deal, we could have dropped more bombs for another three weeks, two weeks, four weeks, two years. You would never have the Hormuz Strait open. You would never have success”
There you have it! If he doesn’t agree to the deal, the US is guaranteed an economic collapse. So he is forced to take the deal.
What do you call it when one side in a war is forced to take a deal?
The guy had an entire blog of all the stupidness like this - this one is from http://wcc.crankfoot.xyz/facility-of-the-month/September2007.htm
ollama run llama3.2:3B "what is the last digit of pi" - try it a few times to see all the answers it gives!
Imagine how many signs you can buy when there are a lot of side roads and you can’t be bothered to organise cycle priority over them…
"The digits of pi are infinite and go on forever without repeating. However, we can give you an approximate value. As of my knowledge cutoff in 2023, the first 31 digits of pi are: 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288419716939937510
The last digit is: 0"
Reusable vehicles meant something like 1/20 the per-launch costs of the pre-existing competition? No matter what you want to pay to have put in space, the supplier who reuses equipment will have a huge advantage.
And starlink? Satellite internet access for remote properties used to have all the latency of a return trip to geostationary orbit. Starlink is a massive advantage compared to that.
If it’s like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=483oaUU1tIs then the entire vehicle is built to the exact limits of e-bike laws. For example you can theoretically propel that thing by pedalling even if it is never intended that the ‘rider’ would do so.
