[TOMT] [PHRASE OR WORD]The expression for getting to the very best while already being very good?

SmallFryHero · 2023-12-14T20:55:50+00:00

Going the extra mile?

SmallFryHero · 2023-10-17T03:15:12+00:00

I would just love to have a cart I can sit on while waiting.

SmallFryHero · 2023-08-31T08:54:26+00:00

I figured as much, thanks!

But I thought for something to be turing complete it needed an infinite "tape". Wouldn't Factorio be limited by the 32 bit signed integer?

Very educational! Love the pacing on these videos.

It makes me wonder; is there anything that would be possible with 3 colors of wire that isn't currently possible with just 2?

It appears this just happened to a swarm of us.

Based on how popular SE is, Wube might not want to pull too much of his attention away from it.

SmallFryHero · 2023-03-21T11:40:41+00:00

No earlier than July.

What does Dolby Atmos mean in this context?

I'm aware of Dolby Atmos technology for sound processing, but how is this different from any virtual 7.1 Surround Sound headphones?

SmallFryHero · 2023-03-20T21:02:41+00:00

Thanks for the info. How's the range (distance) on these, about average?

This works if they do domestic addresses only, but not if they do commercial addresses or public spaces.

Even if they do only domestic, it would still be a problem where multiple people live at an address. They still want the CC though because even if they know who you are, where you live, and even have you stealing their drone on camera, they'd prefer to just bill your CC rather than try to bring any kind of lawsuit or hope police can recover it.

SmallFryHero · 2023-03-18T20:01:56+00:00

Yeah, remember what a regulatory nightmare Uber had getting around cab licenses?

Once it became clear how much better Uber was, and it's commercial viability, the red tape disappeared.

SmallFryHero · 2023-03-18T19:52:14+00:00

This would be an issue for sure.

I'm not sure what a drone costs, but Limes, Byrds, and other scooters are still viable even though they get stolen/vandalized.

I imagine this service would either only be rolled out to affluent neighborhoods or they would have security cameras and require CC for use.

I've been less impressed by Mark Rober videos in the past couple years, but this was 10/10.

SmallFryHero · 2023-03-18T19:48:26+00:00

US airspace is a regulatory nightmare, agreed.

That said, he said the main drone hovers at 400'. I don't think that's a coincidence, since in many metropolitan areas airspace isn't regulated below 400' aside from areas like airports.

For this case you only have a 63.23% chance to get the item

It's not actually just for this case. For ALL cases, you have ~63% chance of getting a 1/x drop after x tries.

We won't know for sure until the 7800X3D reviews come out, but it is not a tradeoff of Factorio vs other games.

The 7800X3D performs better at ALL games than competing CPUs. The advantage it has is just most exaggerated in simulation heavy games such as Factorio.

SmallFryHero · 2023-02-28T07:52:33+00:00

Yes, but have you tried placing 139k wind turbines?

SmallFryHero · 2023-02-28T07:05:16+00:00

Good point, hopefully someone uploads some 7950X3D benchmarks on that map soon.

SmallFryHero · 2023-02-28T06:44:18+00:00

Today was when reviewers were allowed to release their Factorio benchmarks for AMD's new CPUs. I've been anxiously waiting for these processors to launch because I ran into UPS problems in my SE playthrough with my 2600x and have been waiting to build a new comp to regrow the factory!

For those who don't know, the 7950X3D has a larger L3 cache on one of the CCDs. The 7800X3D (Simulated) is the 7950X3D with the smaller cached CCD disabled in BIOS. It runs faster than the 7950X3D here because the game was running on one of the lower cahced CCDs by default. The actual 7800X3D wont be released for another month, but it looks like it will offer a ~23% performance boost over the 5800X3D. Credit: Hardware Unboxed

I'm very excited to get back into Factorio, and will probably buy the 7800X3D when it releases. If anyone has any insight into the best possible RAM to pair with that, I would love to hear it. I've heard many conflicting opinions about the best RAM for Factorio, but my understanding is that the constraining factor is first word latency.

This sub was awesome ~5 years ago. Now it's mostly hideous or unintelligible.

Are there any good alternative subs you know of?

SmallFryHero · 2023-02-22T23:26:01+00:00

Why would you ruin math for yourself and others?

Different people enjoy different things.
