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
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
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
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
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
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
You know what I mean! Never seen that exact kind of plant but yeah, automated heavy industry gets intense real fast
For me it’s the acceleration and speed they don’t comprehend.even “safe” collaborative robots can accelerate to huge speeds in the blink of an eye, and being electric they’ll do it at maximum force
I’ve driven one into my head before and its remarkable how soft it was thanks to the tech involved but movies miss the fact that if it wanted, even a small arm could have gone through me
If you ever work on a modern industrial system then you’ll see all kinds of rules, safety measures and more fun
It often makes small jobs extremely tedious, but I always remind myself it’s because the robot arm I’m looking at is strong enough to throw me across the room or crush my bones.
Only game I’ve ever come back to this much. Unlocked everything, still fire it up every so often to have a run or two and it still somehow feels fresh each time
I love burgers, I hate mayo. This has caused me more pain than most would understand
Time taken for me to eat that mass of hotdogs
