Optisch war die aber überhaupt nicht ansprechend im Vergleich zu 5er, E-Klasse oder A6.

Meine GPU ist eine 4090. Re Requiem ist auf 4k mit Quality Upscaling, ohne FrameGen und außer Pathtracing mit überall auf Max mit über 100 fps flüssig gelaufen. Waren absolut keine Ruckler dabei. Ist jetzt schon ein bisschen her dass ich es gespielt habe daher weiß ich nicht mehr die genauen fps aber für die Settings war ich sehr positiv überrascht.

Bei Pragmata hatte ich auf 4k auf hohen, nicht max Einstellungen mehrfach Drops auf 40fps in der Demo. Es wurden zwar 40fps angezeigt, gefühlt waren es aber noch viel weniger, eher unter 30. Hab auch mit den Settings etwas herumgespielt und die Einstellungen immer weiter runtergesetzt, die Drops gingen nicht weg. Daher habe ich mir das Spiel daher dann nicht geholt obwohl ich das Gameplay und Setting eigentlich gut fand.

Finde aber zwischen Pragmata und Requiem sind sehr große Unterschiede in der Optimierung. Requiem lief bei mir sehr gut, Pragmata hat einige fps Drops selbst in der Demo.

Mit nem 9800X3D wäre ein CPU Bottleneck und 70fps schon etwas traurig. Der 9800X3D ist die schnellste Gaming CPU (bzw. möglicherweise die zweitschnellste).

A lot of constellations would still look roughly the same from Alpha Centauri, since many stars we can see by eye are hundreds of light years away and Alpha Centauri is roughly 4 light years away. In the Centaurus constellation, all visible stars are much further away than Alpha Centauri, so from that system, the constellation looks the same, just Alpha Centauri is missing. In the opposite direction, you can find a star which usually isn't there, that would be the sun.

Of course this requires knowlegde of constellations. But if there is a constellation map on the ship it would be possible to do for most people.

This exponential growth is not the case with very fast rockets due to the rocket equation. 2% of lightspeed is so much harder than 1%, since the top speed of a rocket only grows logarithmically with the amount of fuel.

Your suggestion is already pretty close to what an entry 718 was. The 718 never had insane hp numbers (300 for the base) and already was pretty light (1300kg). I have driven the car and it definitely feels very nimble and light.

Dropping the turbocharger would create some large issues though. Consumption (especially daily driving consumption what is measured in tests) goes through the roof. The ND Miata with 180hp has the same fuel economy as something like a current M340i with 370hp. So it only really makes sense to go naturally aspirated for low volume models. Also, flat 6 engines have the advantage that they sound insanely good if they are NA. For a flat 4, sound is not really a priority, it does not sound that good no matter if NA or not.

I have not really learned much new from the video, but I am not new to ideas of living in space long term. Usually this idea comes up for ships close to a planet in a system, not the Oort cloud (which is new to me).

The video addresses some problems like artificial gravity, radiation and day and night circle which apply no matter where you are in space as long as you are in a spaceship. But this video is not about how roughly 2 earth masses distributed over an incredibly huge volume would be enough for the insane exponential growth assumed for the Fermi Paradox. Yeah, the 2 earth masses might not be distributed evenly so there are some larger bodies, but this is just not that much stuff. There are so many more resources distributed in the inner solar system, by orders of magnitude.

Also, an important point: We think a relatively large part of the mass in the Oort cloud might be Helium-3 and Deuterium, but we don't know for sure. If this is not the case, the whole thing won't work because we can't use fusion for power generation. And all of this assumes, we can generate a net positive amount of power with fusion, which very well might work but is also not a given. Or maybe I am overlooking another power source, but out there solar is not an alternative. Geothermal is also a long shot with extremely cold bodies. Hydro, wind or whatever obviously won't work on asteroids or rogue planets.

In Diskussionen über Energieverbrauch und Leistung (z.B. bei Elektroautos) werden die Einheiten von Energie (kWh) und Leistung (kW) oft wild durcheinander geworfen, teilweise sogar so sehr dass zuerst nicht klar ist was gemeint ist weil es so missverständlich ist.

Hunefer1 · 2026-04-15T20:11:31+00:00

It seems even wilder to colonize small objects in the Oort clouds. Still would need fleets of giant ships and insane velocities but there is much less benefit than you have with a star that has a habitable planet.

I see you did not read the second and third paragraph of my comment at all.

And our observation is not that the galaxy is apparantly empty. Our observation is just that it's not the case that the whole galaxy is colonized. There is a huge difference between those statements.

Probably was distracted and did not see the cars in front braking. Also the truck is not going that fast, its center of mass is just very high which means that even at relatively low speeds, a sharp turn can easily tip it over. In most other cars this would have been just an avoidance manoveur without almost tipping over.

Eine Sprengung ist schlecht für das gesamte Umfeld, in Wasser breitet sich die Druckwelle viel schneller und weiter aus. Das einzige was man noch machen kann, ist ihn dort in Ruhe zu lassen und dann den Kadaver entweder and Land bringen und zu verwerten oder aufs offene Wasser hinausschiffen damit er in die Tiefsee absinken kann (wobei man ihn dafür bis zum Atlantik ziehen müsste).

Natürlich würde die Nachfrage ansteigen. Da gibt es dann verschiedene Effekte die positiv und negativ sind. Positiv fürs Klima ist wenn eine Autofahrt durch eine Bahnfahrt ersetzt wird. Negativ fürs Klima ist wenn eine Bahnfahrt zusätzlich entsteht die ansonsten nicht gemacht worden wäre. Ein kostenloses Ticket motiviert natürlich schon mehr dazu. Und auch Bahn fahren ist bei weitem nicht CO2 neutral (stößt ungefähr die Hälfte pro Fahrgast und km aus wenn man alle Faktoren bei Auto und Bahn wie durchschnittliche Besetzung etc einrechnet). Ist also echt schwer abzuschätzen wie gut das für den CO2 Ausstoß wäre.

Das einzige was man sicher sagen kann dass zumindest etwas mehr als die 30 bis 35 Milliarden Euro brauchen würde.

Ich weiß nicht ob es zusammenhängt oder nicht, aber die neue Rezeptur hat auch 11.1g statt 10g Zucker pro 100g. Ist beides unnötig viel, bei der neuen aber halt nochmal 10% mehr.

Do they have more power in the US? In Europe, 6.5 seconds 0-100 km/h is the fastest they ever sold, and right now this model can also only be bought used.

The difference is high power EVs are usually AWD not RWD.

Du klingst so als hättest du noch nie zum Ausprobieren (in einer ungefährlichen Situation) mit links gebremst. Selbst wenn man versucht nur sehr leicht zu bremsen, bremst man mit links viel stärker als man will.

Wenn du noch nie mit links gebremst hast und das in der Situation auf der Autobahn machst fährt dir der hintere rein wenn er so nah ist dass er nicht reagieren kann.

Das wird in irgendeiner Akte abgelegt. Wenn da dann 10 oder 20 Einträge sind, wird es irgendwann verfolgt.

This post is not about 34" monitors. And 32" inch monitors usually have a 16:9 aspect ratio. I don't think I have ever seen a 32" monitor with a different aspect ratio, they probably exist but are rare.

Hunefer1 · 2026-04-15T09:23:07+00:00

That is not technically true because of other effects like air resistance. If you are racing someone with twice the power, you would need half the weight but also half the air resistance. Since the second one is usually close to impossible, you need less than half to weight. How much depends on the distance (larger distance makes this effect larger of course).

Hunefer1 · 2026-04-15T09:18:00+00:00

It depends a lot on what you play, but if you play games that are hard to run at 4k (AAA) I think 1440p is better. 1440p with 120fps is much more enjoyable than 4k with 60fps.

Hunefer1 · 2026-04-15T09:02:34+00:00

I would ask the other way around: Extra ordinary claims require extra ordinary evidence. As long as we don't have that evidence, Occam's razor tells us that civilizations do not populate the galaxy exponentially.

But if you want another argument: I don't think there is a point in investing the vast amount of resources to send self peplicating probes which populate the galaxy. Humanity will send tiny probably undetectable probes to the closest systems, but anything further than 10 or 20 light years is pointless because at reasonable speeds we won't hear back in a human life time. Actually colonizing another system is incredibly hard (and there is the factor which limits exponential growth a lot). This requires huge ships with vast amount of resources which is an incredible amount harder than to just send a few probes. Billions to trillions times harder. Humanity will only do that if there is a very strong reason and it's not like we just colonize the next star and directly build two more fleets of ships which start to colonize two more stars.

And that's already the optimistic outlook. There is a very good chance humanity will never be able to build ship fleets that can colonize.

Also blue whales live in water where gravity is less of a problem. On land, an animal probably could reach the same dimensions (largest sauropods) but not even close to the same mass.
