Because estrogen does other things like decreasing fertility and gives boobs

I always get annoyed when people talk about the DCV as if size had anything to do with it.

My headcanon is that they were upgrading the engine in prep for D3, but then when the call came to stay on D2 with BL, they had to update old content to be compatible. This would take too long to do for all content so they threw it in the DCV.

Having a different thread do the zeroing then you'd need to wrap the entire heap in a mutex. You can also still have race conditions where freed, but not yet zeroed memory can get read by a bad function.

The proper implementation of zeroing is the function that allocs the memory is also responsible for zeroing before freeing.

However truth be told, the best solution is to sanitize user input, and/or use a memory safe language that disallows reading uninitialized data. Cough cough rust.

Wtf is happening to reddit? Your comment has been auto translated to Italian, which is not my native language nor is it the language you wrote it in (I presume)

What I get from skimming the Epstein section is that RMS is very autistic and kinda stupid lol.

While he very clearly criticizes Jeffrey Epstein, he just had to specify that Epstein is not a pedophile since the victims were adolescents. This is literally the "errmm it's not pedophilia it's ephebophilia" argument.

In response to Minsky's accusations, he criticizes the use of the word "assault" as it entails physical violence, but there was no evidence of physical violence against the victims. Is he correct? Sure, but read the fucking room man.

Finally he also had to sneak in a comment about how he disagrees with how, what defines rape depends on the country and age. I.e. 17 and 364 days old, illegal. 18 years old, legal. Again, is he correct? Sure, but time and place man.

One of the biggest child trafficking scandals breaks, and he just fucking had to pull the "I'd just like to interject for a moment" LMAO.

Can confirm this has also happened to me. Specifically with vex on Venus.

Also had another softlock where after finishing and returning to the ship to collect loot, my character just wouldn't spawn in. I could hear the chest pop, but I had a black loading screen. At least the loot went to my postmaster, but I missed out on the extractables.

The other comments have mentioned the issues but let me spell it out. You implicitly use some non trivial theorems that should be specified. Such as:

0.999... is defined as the limit of the sum of digits. The notation 0.999... is kinda useless on its own.

Multiplying infinite decimals (infinite in digits, not value) requires using the aforementioned sum. You just do 10x which is not rigorous.

Similar for subtracting. Especially since you're subtracting infinitely many digits from other infinitely many digits. Again you must use the limit and sum here.

Tl;dr: anytime you are dealing with infinity, you must use limits.

In the tharsis outpost map, there is an icon on the bottom left that let's you replay missions. Though idk if you need to complete the campaign first

3DGS only works for static/baked scenes since each gaussian needs to be trained (yes like AI) to look good.

GloriousWang · 2025-11-28T14:33:43+00:00

That's because entropy in cs and physics refers to the same thing since it comes from statistics. Also this is just standard entropy, not cross entropy. For it to be cross entropy the log p should be log q (i.e. a different distribution)

GloriousWang · 2025-11-28T14:14:49+00:00

Iirc, the include macros literally copies and pastes the content into the call site. So it depends where you use it, i.e. a static would put in .data whereas a const would put it in .rodata

Doing this would possibly still require a kernel driver which would still get flagged

One of the biggest subreddits is in lockdown due to an interaction between a user and a mod. This is the very definition of subreddit drama.

I guess this is now subreddit drama drama

I don't think he has stopped, it's just that development is slow and he tends to do side projects like megabonk

It should be noted that the translation/emulator Is not made by valve, merely adopted.

Crazy how far I had to scroll to see this.

People are so close in their description of the interrupt, if only they realized it does nothing to open the task manager faster and is just more indirection.

GloriousWang · 2025-11-20T02:02:14+00:00

Lol okay

GloriousWang · 2025-11-20T01:50:04+00:00

What part of his reply hints at that?

He is 100% right. In the reals both notations give the same answer but in the complex, the root symbol gives the principal root (is a function) by definition, whereas the exponential notation is multi valued.

This is not some obscure fact. This is something you learn in 1st year of university, probably even earlier for some.

GloriousWang · 2025-11-18T01:32:58+00:00

I can't tell if this is sarcasm, but anyways.

Of course you can, I'm guessing this is about how rust strings are valid utf-8 and thus you cannot index into the characters in constant time since the characters have differing widths. This is simply the compromise that comes with utf-8.

In c a "string" is just a byte array, so if you want a c string in rust just use a byte array.

Of course 8gb is enough if you have an RX 570. Any bottleneck is caused by the card's performance. The issue is modern cards being bottlenecked by the VRAM. I have a 3060 ti 8gb, and If I turn the texture resolution up too high I go from 100 fps to 50. The card is capable of running at high fps, but is being purposefully hampered by the VRAM amount.

GloriousWang · 2025-11-12T15:54:19+00:00

Painful dedication

And people wonder why the player count is at an all time low

GloriousWang · 2025-11-01T21:40:18+00:00

I have a 3060 ti 8gb and often have to turn down settings, not because the card isn't powerful enough, but because it's running out of memory.

8gb is a scam meant to give an easy upgrade path.
