I had an asus rtx 3060 for ~4 years and the only problem I am had with it was the RGB sometimes not working because of software issues.

If you can give ChatGPT the transcript and it can say "yes that's about ____", then that means it's certainly possible for them to do the same. I would expect that anything trained specifically for that should only get better from there, although obviously they're not going to throw ChatGPT-sized compute at it.

Well, no matter. Because I'm STILL holding all the cards, and guess what: they're allll Full Houses!

Puppet master! You're a puppet in a play, and I hold all the strings! And cards, still. Cards in one hand, strings in the other. And I'm making you dance like a puppet. Playing cards.

With a super lightweight laptop, 5w is achievable during light usage. I have one that draws that. It's usable for Google Docs sort of stuff indefinitely on a 5w charger. It can also go down to ~2.2w with low screen brightness and very low load. It is absolutely terrible though, celeron 3855u. I got Minecraft Java to run at 60 fps though... But it was probably using 7-12w then.

With a modern arm chip, you could get pretty great performance at that power draw. My phone (snapdragon 8 gen 3) in power saving mode can be like 5-10x faster at about 6 watts it seems like.

Glancing around my room and I'm pleasantly surprised at the amount of whimsy I have on display

Can get a used quest 2 for like $100, not crazy but not nothing. Unfortunately not powerful enough to view the more detailed rooms or avatars, or so I've heard.

It's good to encourage reuse, which is eBay's main thing. I wouldn't have a reason to buy anything new from them however.

I got my home server (Lenovo thinkcentre, i7 6700) for $30 minus ram or storage at my local university surplus store a few years ago, and I have no regrets. Added a 256gb sata SSD, 16 gb RAM, 8tb HDD all refurbished for like +$150 when that was still cheap.

Makes sense, for naive, completely diffuse lighting (not reflective) the result is just the sum of base color * light visiblity * cos(angle between surface and light) for every light

And then for light bounces just repeat that many times, but considering every surface as a light

In the general case, for a more complicated material, the resulting brightness on a surface can be pretty much any arbitrary function of wavelength, the angle the light comes in, and the angle of the observer (called a BRDF). As long as it's not putting out more light than it's getting in, it's probably possible. These functions can get especially complicated when there's multiple thin layers, imagine a brushed metal surface with a layer of oxidization, a clear coating, some dirt, and some dust. Even for a single position on the surface, each of those reacts so differently to different input and output angles that no simple functions will represent the surface well. For CGI in films, they usually will layer many simpler BRDFs together, but that's slow for games, which usually try to approximate surfaces in a single one.

Yes, it's a common brand.

In the United States, pudding means a sweet, milk-based dessert similar in consistency to egg-based custards, instant custards or a mousse, often commercially set using cornstarch, gelatin or similar coagulating agent. These puddings are known in some Commonwealth countries as custards (or curds) if they are egg-thickened, as blancmange if starch-thickened, and as jelly if gelatin-based. Pudding in America may also refer to other dishes such as bread pudding and rice pudding, although typically these names derive from their origin as British dishes.

3 places where I feel like gender separation doesn't really make sense


Sports

Separation of men and women in sports is fairly admirable as it gives people a chance to showcase their skill that would otherwise be outcompeted. It additionally is nice as women are a group that are often discriminated against and exposure in previously limited areas is nice. However, I don't think that a strict gender separation is really necessary. I think that an ideal system would allow anyone with higher skill to go to the top of their league, relative to the physical ability determined by their genetics. I'm not very into sports, but I get the impression that people's enjoyment often comes more from people's character and effort than the absolute magnitude of their ability. Short v.s. tall people in basketball are one example that comes to mind; a shorter person would require much more skill to reach the same level as a taller person currently. I'm not much of a wrestling person, but I think this is addressed there through weight classes. A possible wider idea is be some meta-classification into classes based on the characteristics that cannot be changed with more practice or other self-improvement.


Bathrooms

this is basically a summary of this very silly 2kliksphilip video

Urinals are more space-efficient than toilets, but typically only are found in men's restrooms. Therefore, with equally sized men's and women's restrooms, the men's restroom gets higher throughput assuming an equally sized demand, and has under-occupied stalls compared to the women's room. Even if both are perfectly sized for average demand, there will still be inefficiencies when outlier groups come in. There's really no reason other than tradition to not just separate out the urinals (if desired) and unify all of the stalls, with full height walls if you think it isn't private enough (Really, as a 6 foot 2 guy, it's silly how low stall wall tops usually are).


Pronouns

I was working on a thing recently and had to refer back to someone in a sentence that already included 2 men. I know that some other languages have primarily gender neutral pronouns, but a concern that I have had is that it would make it harder to tell who someone is talking about. I think there are some alternate systems that are better at resolving general ambiguity though, like having different pronouns for the person most recently named vs. 2nd most recently named, etc. There might be languages that do this already, idk, I just speak English and a teeny bit of Spanish lol. I haven't put all that much thought into this but I'm sure there are ways that could make this problem in communication even easier than it is currently. If we could ever get an opportunity to modify common speech.

I was trying to set up mail for my server, to send status emails, gitlab emails, etc. I know this can be done with relays but I was interested in sending mail directly using SMTP. Apparently my ATT residential internet blocks outbound signals on that port by default, although there are several reports of people calling customer support and getting that changed.

The most recent thing I can find was someone on Reddit 3 years ago:

xnojack: Probably depends on the rep. Just got mine unblocked a week ago. I read online though its better to say you're looking to allow SMTP outbound rather than port 25 outbound. Cause on the reps end its called something like SMTP outbound filter. (link)

I tried to call in and get this changed, the rep was very helpful but either something's changed on their end or he was looking in the wrong place. Anyways, I was wondering if any of you have gone through this process recently and know if this is still a thing, or have any advice.

These have both been taken with the exact same camera from the same location. The one on the left is with the OnePlus camera app, and the one on the right is from a community modification of the Google camera app to work on the OnePlus 12. The Google one looks a lot better because they use super-resolution from multiple short exposures automatically.

The Google camera app does not usually look better without zoom (in my short time testing) and also has a harder time focusing.

 

like really, you're just realizing that now??

 

I'm sure everyone's fine with this

 

This is at JFK, does anyone know what they are used for? There wasn’t an obvious time when it was taking a picture.
