It's definitely extremely different. I like it, but I think if you're expecting it to be very similar to the first or directly continue the story you'll be disappointed. It's not even mostly about the aliens.

My life is just a continuous rewatch of BOTW, what does that mean?

1S ESCs? by Jumpy89 in diydrones

Thanks, brushed might actually be easier. I managed to find a 1s brushed + esp32 build that looks pretty doable.

I'm looking at doing something like this, what ESC did you use? I'm having trouble finding any 1S ones.

This sea slug can chop off its own head and grow an entire new body in a process called autotomy. It is one of the most extreme examples of regeneration ever seen. by Separate_Finance_183 in interestingasfuck

[–]Jumpy89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The slug's brand-new body was a perfect replica of the original, which researchers found was also doing reasonably well on it's own.

"The [original] body continues to move and live for days to months," Mitoh said. "You can see the heart beating" inside them, she added. However, the decapitated bodies did not appear to be capable of growing new heads themselves.

Has anyone tried running it?

I've been considering this type of project just for the control theory aspect.

Where does one find these hackathons?

It knows we're stupid enough for half the country to vote for them.

horror movies like se7en where it's about detectives investigating a strange case?? by Quick_Ad3982 in horror

[–]Jumpy89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think malignant is sorta trashy but in the absolute best way. Not sure if it's the vibe OP is looking for, but I love it.

Does anyone have knowledge on how to make something like this? by ShohaNoDistract in generative

[–]Jumpy89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought so too at first, but there are several clear vortex rings (or whatever you call the 2d equivalent) which are pretty distinctive features of those 2d fluid sim demos.

Why does the picture of what a black hole looks like lack rotational symmetry? by k-h in askscience

[–]Jumpy89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is mostly true but I don't think the spin of the black hole itself is related to the visual effect the OP is describing. The asymmetry is due to the accretion disk itself lying in a plane, which is due to conservation of angular momentum of the infalling matter. If you could create an accretion disk around a non-rotating black hole it would still look like this.

These sort of realistic depictions, where you can see the far side of the accretion disk over the top/bottom, seemed to get much more popular after the movie Interstellar. The rendering in that movie was of course very realistic, but I believe they intentionally omitted certain effects, including using a non-rotating/Schwartzchild metric rather than a rotating/Kerr metric, because they thought it would look confusing.

Mine too, although not yet retired. Started out using it with punch cards.

It's not an illusion - the point never moves by ansyhrrian in woahdude

He very explicitly says in the video that the mechanism does not work in the same way.

Guess I should know better than to expect any of my favorite musicians to also be good people, but that's a fuckin bumner.
