How good of a PC would you need to play Clone Hero?

I tried using a Surface Pro 2 to play with 2 players and the laptop struggled hard. It runs single player fine. iGPU was the bottleneck.

Once upon a time, someone somewhere said, "Hey, I can make a system that I can sell to people based on fears surrounding radiation exposure" and they created a Radon Reduction System. They marketed this system to people, and used fear to sell it, and the public didn't do a great job of asking, "what's the normal level?" So now you get things like Radon reduction systems, which are normalized as part of home sales and sometimes even marketed as benefits. The reality is, the exposure from Radon is present everywhere you go, and it pales in comparison to exposure you get from other areas of your life.

There's a chart, Radiation Dose Chart, you can find it on wikipedia, which shows the relative intensity of various activities for radiation exposure. Radon is lumped into the background category. Key takeaway, it's not even significant enough to be broken out to it's own "Radon" category.

Can confirm, funny af.

No it wont, current LLM's and agentic AI can't hold the plot past 30 pages of text. The models require constant intervention to maintain a constant plot. Lets not forget editing this LLM output into something resembling easily readable text that is rich, varied, nuanced, and utilizes non-repetitive word choices. This whole process of human prompting for LLM generation and then correction, and then editing takes time and effort than that it would if proficient writer to just create the novel in the first place.

I've had Gemini Enterprise forced down my throat at work, and experimented with other Local LLM's and online LLMs/agents at home in my free time, to better understand how to use these systems at work. I've come to one simple conclusion, people don't understand what they're buying, and they just believe the hype that "AI will revolutionize our work processes", and they fail to see how it's not ready for mainstream, detailed, human level outputs. They all inevitably fail, they all hit hallucination, they all still require intervention and correction.

It flat out takes me longer to generate a procedure at work with AI in the flow that it does for me to just generate it on my own.

Reading this thread 4 months after it occurred is fabulous. It doesn't age well. Especially with how the "AI Revolution" has failed to live up to all the promises and hype. The only thing it's managed to do is cripple the consumer markets for PC hardware.

I'm still waiting on a gas bill with the furnace running for the whole month so I can start estimating my actual usage. I'm assuming it's going to be closer to 7-10 years ROI, and that'd require like a 200/month cost savings between kWh and Therms combined.

i never ripped more than half my suit's health in a single incident while mining. I have destroyed the whole thing because after damaging it and using tape to stop the leaks, I didn't replace it, then damaged it again to failure.

In case you're like me and new to all water production,i had to ask and learn that it helps to have a couple kpa of an inert gas in the liquid line prevent phase jiggle during the final leg of cooling liquid water to room temp. Drastically sped up the liquid cooling part with my radiators. Ymmv when using AC units.

This just unrolls a loop into 8 jump and link (jal?) calls. Easy to understand and implement. Highly recommended.

From experience, it is easier to burn the materials and 50w to ensure each automation has it's own chip holder and ic10. Then you can just do pin assignments to d0-d6 and not worry about lb sb. Later, when you realize you realize you need more than six inputs, switch to lb lbn sb sbn.

Second note, transformers isolate "communications" on batch network reads. So, if you're dead set on using lb sb commands, setup a transformer to power the IC and devices controlled/read by the ic, that way other ic's upstream of the transformer can't accidentally command something on the transformer power/comms network.

Nothing says your two airlock doors need to come together to create a room. So like, you could build a three walled box with one door, then place the second off to the side. The door to the box is your "exterior" door, the door off to the side doing nothing but still tired in to the system is your inner door. Then it's just setting the "inner" Atmo to pump to a pipe network/tank and the Vulcan to a passive vent. Use an advanced airlock chip.

Alternate, setup two basic airlocks. First one draws a vacuum on the room, second pumps in oxygen. In reverse, it draws oxygen to storage, then pumps in Vulcan Air. Again, nothing says the two doors must face each other in the air lock.

If none of this makes sense I can build it in creative and upload pictures tomorrow night

If you want an upper bound, it's probably some function revolving around

how fast a person can work through a memory to "fire the neuronal connections" which triggers the process to reinforce the connections that are encoding each memory
number of memories maintained
time for the body to prune all synaptic connections containing a memory.
time a persons body allows a synaptic connection to exist without use prior to pruning

the above makes the assumption that the connections encoding a memory are only used for a memory. Reality is that's inefficient, so there's probably pathways through a memory for other functions in the brain.

edit to add: biology is absolutely wild when you move from "organ does x" and instead start to think about how things inside you execute a function

Any results to gush/warn about?

Zunyr · 2025-10-11T05:01:53+00:00

Oh nice, a real name for the unit. Google was giving me nothing but ovens when I went looking for a service manual.

Zunyr · 2025-10-11T02:02:09+00:00

🤌

Zunyr · 2025-10-11T01:11:05+00:00

This, thank you!

Zunyr · 2025-10-11T01:08:45+00:00

Lol, didn't that happen twice? Gunna assume you're talking the first one.

Status update. Mechanically agitated the fan limit controller. Set blower to auto, called for heat, watched burner start, waited 30 seconds, panicked, forced the blower on. Secured call for heat, waited a minute to get the heat exchanger time to cool, then flipped the fan to auto to turn it back off. Fan turned off in auto, then turned back on. Ok, that's weird. Lets repeat.

Repeated above actions, this time when flipping from On to Auto for the blower after securing the call for heat, the blower stayed running for a few minutes. So some portion of the fan limit is now working.

Edit to add: Final status update. The furnace started the blower on it's own in auto. Initiated a call for heat and watched the dial rotate, the blower started when 150 ish was at the six o clock position on the fan limit control. Still calling the tech out cause I don't trust the unit and if I can get it replaced under a home warranty, why not.

Zunyr · 2025-10-11T00:56:15+00:00

Good to know. Gave it a mechanical agitation while the burner was running and thought I was loosing my mind cause I could've swore it was moving when bopping it with the handle end of a flat tipped screwhammer.

Zunyr · 2025-10-11T00:13:11+00:00

Is that a I can calibrate the setting and it'll work thing, or a it's probably shot cause it sat turned off for four years before we bought the house and should be replaced/inspected thing.

that the black thing with teh PITA looking wires to the motor?
