Idk if the tech for 3d printers is really more complex. All of the parts are readily available, basically nothing needs to be specially made except the hot end (one single metal part)
The consumer experience for 2d printers worse IMO but that's probably because I'm stuck on Windows with its terrible printing system
I bought Trackmania United Forever last weekend and it's kinda interesting because the stadium environment still looks great, most of the rest look ok and some others look pretty bad.
Assuming the light isn't bending at all, I think it should get about 890 watts of light, or 2.8x1010 joules per year (or 3.1x10-7 kg per year?) from the sun, which should be enough to cause it to grow, at least while the sun is still around. I expect it would get a lot more mass from gasses, meteors, and dust in that time frame. Based on your numbers above I think it should only be losing like 2x10^-40 kg per year if it was losing mass at a constant rate.
There's only about 50 watts per square meter out that far from the sun! We get about 1300 here on Earth. Jupiter's orbit is a lot larger compared to Earth's than people normally think.
Or, the Italian way: simmer garlic in a pan with olive oil, throw in the vegetables and a bit of water, throw in some salt, cover, cook until soft, check occasionally that it isn't burning
Hmm, I was not aware of that. I've seen (not Nvidia related) simulations with probably tens of thousands of rigidbodies running on relatively old midrange CPUs in real time, so it's pretty crazy that it's that slow.
Are there really any 32-bit era games that your CPU can't handle, especially if you have a $1k+ gpu? This post is honestly pretty misleading as it implies modern versions of PhysX don't work, when they actually do.
That being said, it doesn't make all that much sense as a decision, doubles are rare in most GPU code anyways (as they are very slow), NVIDIA is just being lazy and doesn't want to write the drivers for that
Well, at least you aren't on mac where 32 bit things just don't launch at all... (I think they might be playable through wine, but even in the x86 era MacOS didn't natively run any 32 bit games or software, so games like Portal 2 or TF2 for example just didn't work even though they had a MacOS version)
Reminds me of the "U.S. Post: you have a USPS parcel being cleared, due to the detection of an invalid zip code address, the parcel can not be cleared, the parcel is temporarily detained, please confirm the zip code address information in the link within 24 hours" message I got with the totally not suspicious domain "usps.com-service.webnw.top/us" and the unnecessarily confusing instructions "Please reply with a Y, then exit the text message and open it again to activate the link, or copy the link into your Safari browser and open it"
