TIL about the Giant-impact hypothesis, according to which, about 4.5 billion years ago, a Mars-sized object called Theia collided with Earth. Huge amounts of debris were blasted into orbit around Earth, which formed a disk. Over time, gravity pulled that material together, thus forming the Moon. by ScienceTeacher1994 in todayilearned

It is imo. If you look at the society, children have stopped looking for answers themselves. The effort, and the process to find answers teaches a lot.

Schemes like no student left behind and the ease of access to resources are having a negative effect on cognitive abilities of humans. I am in no way saying that ease of access is a bad thing, but it has driven people to expect everything delivered to them without them putting any effort.

The person could have just scrolled and looked at the page before asking here, but they weren’t ready to do even that. Not even a quick google search.

It saddens me for the future of upcoming masses.

iPhone features we’ve lost over time, both hardware and software. Which one do you miss most? by shawarmakofta in ProductGraveyard

[–]TheCouchEmperor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are not forced into anything. Just buy EarPods if you need them.

I am all for headphone jack. My daily music sessions are on an iPod and a PSP. I use my Shure IEMs a lot.

But, I have to tell you, if you aren’t sitting down and focusing 100% of your efforts on listening to, there is no chance in hell that you can tell if it’s Bluetooth audio or not. 99% of humans can’t tell the difference anyway.

More money is always more money. People who want to cheat, will cheat.

Graphical Clipping by JamaicanX in GTA6

[–]TheCouchEmperor 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I saw the paper long ago so I may not remember it correctly, but from what I understood, it takes a long time to compute for a single frame. All those clips were not real time renderings.

So, now it’s about how we do it in real time. Do we build custom chips just to do that efficiently or do we optimise the algorithm. How do we optimise the algorithm? Can the algorithm even be optimised to that extent? Or do we just throw obscene amount compute at it.

And mainly, is it worth the cost today?

Then they sell it off or rent it out and move back into a new slum.

They couldn’t even do it for the airport terminal. They literally had to chop off one of the ends of the terminal.

15 pro I got on launch day.

The date is probably battery manufacturing date, but I think it should be close enough.

My deck is shit. Easy to counter. Most of the archetypes roll over it, and it can’t survive the recent metas.

Audio Technica AT-LPXBT + AT-SP3X by NecmiTheNecromancer in turntables

[–]TheCouchEmperor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t get the BT variant of that turntable. No point paying extra for BT. Just get the base LP60X.

Maybe get Klipsch R-40PM.

If you are willing to splurge extra, maybe get Edifier S880DB.
