I'm taking the family to Indianapolis to see it, but I'm also visiting friends and family in Chicago this week so it's no huge loss if it's cloudy. There's also a phenomenon where the lower atmospheric temperature due to the eclipse causes pressure changes that make clouds evaporate, so that...

Game on one monitor, browser/email/media/work on the other.

Accumulating skills, skill modifications, stats, and their interactions with each other and the gear you collect. That process can take many dozens of hours to complete or accumulate in-game resources for, and that assumes you have the knowledge of what to choose in the first place. The process...

I'm the opposite. The stories of ARPGs are generally totally forgettable. If there's a good moment to moment gameplay loop and character growth mechanics that will keep me interested for a long time. Forever? No. But more than lots of other game genres.

D2 hit it about right where there were consistent thematic structures and set pieces, but randomized within that.

Wood Whisperer makes table for brother, inlays a dick in it. (16:08 if timestamp doesn't work)

I'm curious to see how the performance works out. My rig is aging (2070 Super) and bogged down below my tolderances.

It's not just about the academic material. Unexcused absences, even partial days, go on file and can have a variety of consequences including unpleasant visits from child services for truancy.

Personally I'd find a different way to enforce discipline than make the kids walk to school. Education is their job and choosing a punishment that forces them to miss it seems off target. If you don't like the standard grounding or loss of privileges, just take their devices, shut off their...

Dunno, I clicked around for 10 seconds and noped out.

Still cheaper than an ER visit. I know a guy missing part of his hand from a table saw. When I upgrade from my jobsite saw I'll get a sawstop (or equavlent) and consider it money well spent. It'd be one thing if they didn't work, but since they do I think a few hundred bucks is reasonable...

Reminds me of this. https://www.independent.co.uk/tech/paralysed-man-brain-implant-beer-b2044610.html "I want a beer" "Tool, loud"

Easily done, this game looks like a Unity student project from 2010. Their company page has a merch store and press kit but no mention of the actual product, lol.

I have an Embody (Logitech version) that I got at wholesale about 18 months ago. I found it more comfortable than the Gesture or Aeron in side-by-side testing. I tend to recline a lot into the chair as I have hip arthritis that prevents me from sitting properly upright for long periods. The...

Anyone have a recommendation for a wifi-enabled sprinkler controller? I've been doing some research but it seems most of the products on market have pain points that I'm not sure how I'd react to.

I had a friend who lost 40 lbs on a diet where he'd eat 3 cans of tuna and all the green leafies he could stand. He kept up that tuna consumption for years. He was a little nuts before, but a lot nuts after. One day at lunch someone made a crack about mercury poisoning and everyone at the table...

I've always imagined that some lizard has crawled into a rocket and caught a ride into orbit where it's now frozen waiting for its future as a lethal piece of space debris. Some spacewalking astronaut is going to die from a gecko-shaped hole blasted through it at 18,000 mph. GIS space lizard:

Rabbits don't produce eggs or eat bugs, which is a disadvantage compared to chickens if you need everything on your farm to be as multi-functional as possible. They also carry a lot of diseases and the kits tend to die easily. The meat of adults is SUPER lean and stringy to the point where...

I looked at prime rib at Costco last Christmas and it was (Edit: ~$25) a pound.

Where in the fuck are you getting prime rib at $5.55/lb?

A thorough testing and analysis of dowel joint strength in different configurations.

My mother grew up in Brazil so we always had feijao on hand (black beans). It's basically free, delicious, tons of protein and fiber, easy to make in bulk, and keeps for months in the freezer. Feijao is one of these "cook what you have" dishes, so the link below isn't authoritative by any...

Their next single is out. A little more metal this time.

The important parts of visual recognition and response are real time and local, otherwise they would crash constantly. Tesla's autopilot runs just fine without a data connection.

It's been accomplished in real time on local hardware for self-driving vehicles. I don't see why this is wildly different. There are five million Teslas on the road that can, with arguably insufficient reliability, self-navigate with primarily video input. Sure, but I don't think "actual AI"...

Presumably because the actual exercise is to develop complex general-purpose emergent behavior from visual data and not to maximize game-playing so the bots can burn electricity consuming the infinite games made by the GPTs. You don't need real-time training, though. Train once and run...

AI is coming to replace us, bros.

This is what happened, obviously.

That was a great piece. Steven Wolfram is the best kind of crazy and an excellent translator of complicated ideas to a lay audience.

No regular fries? What the fuck?

I already make use of steam family library sharing. Set up multiple Windows accounts on kids' PC, log into main Steam on one, kid on the other, share installs across both logins. This is cool though, less clunky.

Kids can make it hard to know when to reprimand or high-five them... Family is at dinner and my 12 year old son cuts a PROFANE fart. The dogs literally had to leave the room. We're sitting there in shock and I ask him, "DUDE! Are you ILL?" and he deadpans, "You know, I'm something of an...

Oh god, the PTSD. My buddies and I did this. To this day I refuse to play games with no map (that require complex navigation, anyway).

They obviously can be, since "the cloud" doesn't stock infinite 300 GB GPUs either and the problem is always split across discrete hardware. For some likely valid reason above my pay grade they couldn't or chose not to use those methods for this release. The math for LLMs has been around since...

It's an equation with 314 billion parameters that need to be loaded. They do admit that the implementation isn't the most efficient possible. "a machine with enough GPU memory is required to test the model with the example code. The implementation of the MoE layer in this repository is not...

They should have just named it "Not Mega Man". I'm a huge sucker for Metroidvanias and will probably play it.

FYI for anyone trying to (re)play the original and encountering software issues. I would just get a black screen and hung process with no info untl running in Win 7 compatibility mode and installing DX9.
