It’s very convenient when reading German, as you instantly know which words are nouns.

Man, I love this guy’s videos. He’s got the most pleasantly chill voice (think Australian Bob Ross) and shows a great mastery of the things he makes. Highly recommended channel.

AlphaEvolve legit just discovered a faster method of 4x4 matrix multiplication (1 fewer multiply), and that’s a subject that’s had a ton of eyes on it for decades. It’s pretty impressive actually!

So complex or quaternion I imagine? ‘i’ it is!

This has always been one of my favorite short stories. For those who might not know the reference: https://users.ece.cmu.edu/~gamvrosi/thelastq.html

For some further mind fuckery on the subject, I highly recommend this video on the subject: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DkH1citHtgs. Dude never misses in interesting content.

I wasn’t expecting to be sad in this thread but there it is. “I am the very model of a scientist Salarian…”

I really enjoyed the spaceship game Solar Winds, but would occasionally run into a wild bug where rotating the ship to a specific angle would launch it in a negative x direction.

Likewise, I wish another game would work a magic creating/ programming-lite system like Legend/Four Crystals Of Trazere(US). It was way too fun crafting wild magical spells from the basic ingredients.

Typically for this I’ve done some wrapper type around a vector storage for the node data (a wish.com arena, if you will). Links are just some abstraction around indices.

It’s kind of annoying to write initially, but it was easier than learning unsafe stuff. To do it correctly & most efficiently though, one would likely need unsafe code.

Number 1 would have to be:

• Triosphere (prog/power?). Ida is utterly amazing.

Some others I didn’t see in this thread are:

• Ebony Ark (prog/power)
• To Mera (prog)
• Without Face (prog/goth metal?)
• Mystik (speed)

If an iron and coal mine love each other a whole lot…

I’m still crying because Martyr broke up ages ago, how can they do this to me now!

I’d argue lexicographically it would be 0000 and 0001 for the first two sets of 4 digits. If you’re looking for combinations w/o replacement, it would be 0123 and 0124.

I’ve definitely caught myself writing cumTotal += value; in my code before.

I don’t recall what the default behavior is with the linker, but it might also benefit from at least thin LTO.

I’m exceedingly loving the combat design in Dawntrail, so I guess they took some good lessons from EW. That said, I do think CoD P2 is a bit too difficult for what they were aiming for. Two phases of P1 difficulty (mostly personal responsibility & quick reactions) or even very slightly harder, would be absolutely perfect for PF.

Back in August '22, I weighed about 270 lbs @ 6’0 (122.5 kg, 183 cm). I realized this was dangerously unhealthy so I asked my doctor if there was any drug options for helping me change habits. As my insurance didn’t cover weight loss, the doc opted for Phentermine. It drastically cut my food cravings and with exercise I’ve been losing weight steadily since. Down to 215 lbs now and the physical benefits are great: no more constant GIRD, can bend over without discomfort, etc.

It is funny though, just finally barely breaking the obese barrier (30 bmi) and people say “and you still want to lose more weight??” My goal is 180.

Edit: As an aside, how fucked is it that insurance companies don’t cover weight loss; wouldn’t covering it reduce their costs over time?

Starsector is amazing, even though buying it on the website made me wonder if the storefront was made in the 90s.

Exactly same. Gf & I got into it a few weeks ago and just caught up to current. We’re champing at the bit to see what happens next.
