I don't really like that thing in movies they do where they take some 80s song and rerecord it for a modern film.

I wasn't expecting Chesney Hawkes, though

Destroy his vanity projects and sell toilets and urinals made from their remains.

Gonna spend the next two years spamming every elected Dem about the concept of "damnatio memoriae." Chisel his name off every inscription. Build over the various Trump Towers like they're Nero's Golden House. Remove him from physical memory, not to forget but as a sign of disrespect to the man.

I think it's important for Donny boy to understand that we will destroy his arch. And then to recoup some of the expense we will make toilets and urinals out of it, and sell them.

Do you have some kind of fan underneath that is blowing smoke upwards?

I approve of this kind of thing. In 2019 I did a talk about Tilt Brush entirely inside Tilt Brush.

Orban conceding prompts me to think about how far outside the norms Trump is - even Orban could concede with reasonable grace.

I don't know how to explain to the people who pop up when creatives complain about "AI" to say there are legit uses for it just how much they sound like someone saying "Well actually fire is used to make bread" when people are talking about an organized arson ring burning down their fucking houses

A tiny and very shitty digital camera from 2001, being held in someone's hand. It is only a few cm in each dimension, and made of a kind of silver plastic.

In 2001 i bought a l'espion camera, which I feel is the great grandfather of these things. It could do something like 20 pictures at 352x288 pixels, and ran off a single AAA battery. It was around the same volume as a matchbox.

The remains of a destroyed inkjet printer, still with the hammer lying on it.

Back in ~2001 our printer misbehaved one too many times, and my wife had had enough.

I print this picture on every new printer I get, as a warning.

But anyway, the number of instructions taken to process the numbers doesn't change with the magnitude of the number, unless you're talking about something like Python ints whose capacity is variable and only limited by available memory.

In general floating point numbers are stored as either 32 bits (float) or 64 bits (double) in IEEE 754 standard format, so the amount of memory used is constant. They do get less precision the further away they get from the origin, though.

I would love to understand this a bit more. I understand how floats work, but I'm not quite sure i understand how having a grid is helpful. Is it that after moving things around you are doing a snap to grid afterwards to ensure any rounding errors don't result in small incorrect offsets?

This news comes out literally the day after I finally ordered upgrade parts for my PC.

But I just looked at Newegg, and the RAM doesn't seem to have gone down in price yet.

One side effect of attending a protest around here is that it makes me feel quite young.

Bruce Springsteen now wears hearing aids just like me, which is ironic since I blame him for mine.
