  • I'm not autistic, just ADHD but I do honestly feel like double checking that figure here

    edit: i'd estimate 62.1% full

    and assuming that glass is perfectly radially symmetric (idk if that is the correct term or not) you would not ever need to do that much math

    if you had the actual glass you could probably do a much more accurate measurement just with a graduated cylinder

  • I'm pretty sure there are actual industrial multicolor 3d printers that use an inkjet design

  • 8x the size of the world either means 1/8 the original handcrafted stuff per area or 8x the development time and cost, there's no way you can get around this

  • "The surge of emotion that shot through me when I saved your life taught me an even more valuable lesson: where woke_mind_virus lives in my brain. [Announcer: "woke_mind_virus deleted."] Goodbye, woke_mind_virus."

  • now that republicans don't need to block the deal to decrease Biden's popularity ig

  • I think the main difficulty is getting companies like Gmail to recognize your domain as legitimate, as they don't by default

  • I feel like storing steam at nearly infinite pressure is easier than getting steam to nearly infinite pressure

  • they still have the lead, here are some screenshots from notebookcheck

  • The most recent failure was when everyone was making fun of google search ai for a month because it was quoting blatantly wrong reddit users (who were often joking about something, and it took them seriously)

    Generally I think what companies do nowadays for normal models (not the searching a knowledge base thing that Google was doing) is they train a model on basically everything and then bring it into a tuning stage with just approved texts to improve it, and then a human feedback tuning stage to improve it more

  • "No"

  • If space efficiency is a priority, I would say just take a normal restroom, add better locks, stall walls that actually go the full height and all of the way to the ground, and have a urinal section around a corner so that it is fully out of view from the (security camera monitored) common area where the sinks are

  • I would never use MacOS myself but I get the 'it just works' aspect and the crazy energy efficiency of Apple's hardware, also some tech youtubers I respect like Jeff Geerling and JDH use it

    Now, iOS on the other hand... (I was seeing if a family member's ipad would work as a drawing tablet for Blender recently using the Moonlight app (which actually supports pressure sensitivity btw), but USB streaming doesn't work because apple ties that to its hotspot and therefore having cellular, and the 3rd party apps are all removed from the app store, its just so stupid that I have the ipad and the cable and yet I can only transfer data over wifi)

  • honestly if I heard someone say "I technically have linux with me right now" I would expect them to pull out an Android phone and say that Android is based on the Linux kernel (it is, its just not what anyone means when they say 'linux', its a pretty good example of how 'linux' refers to the OS and not the kernel)

  • Did they make money? obviously not.

    Will it help them make money in the future? nobody knows. Probably not as much as it could have, we'll have to wait and see.

  • I know a lot of people are fine with a paid plan, I've just seen what has happened to some projects like Fusion 360 where they slowly take away more and more features from the free version, slowly decrease support, and all new features go to the pro version. I would be surprised if this happens to ubuntu, but I don't want to take that chance.

    You're acting like there isn't another option. I could just go use Arch with KDE Plasma or something instead, or maybe Fedora which is at least somewhat separated from the 'pro version' (red hat)

    Out of all of the projects that I can think of in recent memory that started as big open source useful things, only VLC Media Player managed to avoid turning into garbage, and it’s because the lead developer is a saint.

    the Linux Kernel, Blender, Godot, Lemmy are some examples that come to mind, or maybe I'm just not understanding what you're trying to say here

  • I'm never going to feel fully satisfied using an OS that has an official 'pro' version.

  • Same

  • I feel like kinda the main reasons to pick up a latest gen gpu nowadays are energy efficiency and a warranty (although 5000 series doesn't look all that energy efficient, we'll see i guess)

    otherwise you can definitely get something better on ebay for cheaper

    but if you live somewhere where energy is expensive, the difference might be significant. 500w is kinda a lot lol, any difference in performance/watt will add up

    prices are going to drop when the new gpus come out and people need to get rid of their old ones, but currently with a little bit of looking i could find a 'buy it now' 7900 xt for $640, a 3090 for $775, and a 3090 ti for $850

    honestly these aren't great deals you could probably find better ones

  • I put out the first version of that post while I’m getting my data fully packed up. Not a single response. Not even a like.

    I suspect many platforms detect and shadowban content like this, or at least demote it or restrict its visibility. It's what I would do if I ran an unethical social media platform trying to increase the number of active users.
