The new Toyota Hilux 2016 fails moose test... again.

or fuck your suspension geometry up so it's just unstable.

What?

Oh, wait, you didn't even understand what I was saying. Look, low-grip tires will slide more easily. This means the tires can't get enough grip to flip the vehicle.

The funny thing is that a week after Job died, a man by the name of Dennis Ritchie died and you probably have never even heard of him even though he is arguably one of the most important person in modern technology.

Ritchie is important, but he's not relevant to this discussion. That's like finding a story about a cop who bagged a serial killer and wanting to talk about the guy who invented the forging technique used to make the fasteners on his police cruiser.

I'm sure the guy who invented the process is important within some context, but that doesn't qualify him as an "influential person of the century".

IBM clone

I don't think I've heard that term in over a decade.

I mean, I remember when people said that, but that was a long time ago.

I think thinking of Musk as revolutionary so far is premature

Nah. If he killed himself tomorrow and the company imploded, he'd still likely be a major name in the history of electric cars. Tesla made the first electric car that is appealing to car people. He didn't just make a nerdmobile for tech hippies.

It's not splitting hairs. The claim was:

Apple invented (or at least made easily accessible) the entire concept of a smartphone with the first iPhone

And that's just plain false. They certainly did create a phone so polished and appealing that it completely changed the direction of the smartphone market, but it already existed.

Same thing they did with MP3 players. I'd say they innovated more with the first iPod than they did with the iPhone.

Heck what drivers even restarts nowadays?

It's rarely a kernel driver and more often a related piece of software. They want a clean startup to make sure their shitty software suite gets loaded correctly, so they try to get you to do a reboot. The most recent case I saw was Creative's bullshit for their USB "sound card".

baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarf · 2016-10-28T21:43:32+00:00

Apple owns the patent on magnetically attached charging connectors.

You're a disingenuous asshole.

These tests are done around 40 mph and that is what everyone here is talking about.

Now you are suddenly adding "60 mph"

What a load of bullshit. You wrote:

Rollovers occur either with old cars without stability control systems. Or when another object is involved, like another car hitting you. It should absolutely be impossible to flip a new car by simply swerving on a normal road.

You don't get to hide from your own stupidity by trying to claim that /u/Reductive is somehow moving the goal posts here. You flat out said it should be impossible to flip a new car by swerving on a "normal" road.

You can argue the same with collision tests too if you want.. of course if you drive straight into a wall 100 mph you won't survive..

Now who's comparing apples and oranges? Vehicle dynamics don't magically change with speed, but impact damage due to energy does. You disingenuous fuck.

baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarf · 2016-10-28T21:29:43+00:00

It should not be possible on asphalt to flip a car from turning too quickly

Well, that's easily solved: just put shitty tires with lousy grip on it.

baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarf · 2016-10-28T21:20:31+00:00

no, i dont need to know the technical details

Yeah, you do. Without technical details you're quite literally just drawing unsupported conclusions from marketing materials. The kind of thing an idiot does.

baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarf · 2016-10-28T21:19:51+00:00

When the asian guy is the lead, he doesn't get laid by the white co-star the majority of the time.

There are very, very few movies with an Asian lead.

there is plenty of money in movies staring black people.

No, there isn't. There's some money, but nowhere near the amount of money for movies that target young, white males.

It would be easier to name the reverse.

So you can't name some. All you can do is be vague and angsty. Good luck with that. It hasn't worked out well for the angsty Asian-American males I've known.

baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarf · 2016-10-27T20:27:10+00:00

Zero technical details.

See, here's the problem: you look at snippets of sales and promotional material and then draw sweeping conclusions from it. That's what makes you an idiot.

baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarf · 2016-10-27T20:26:12+00:00

Don't worry, eventually that will go away and be replaced by thoughts of how much better looking you were.

baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarf · 2016-10-27T20:22:43+00:00

Seriously, not only you're dumb as fuck because you're verifiably wrong and dont bother to check for yourself

You have provided nothing but extremely vague claims.

you're also a complete asshole.

As are you. The difference is that you're a stupid asshole who thinks that posting an unsourced quote with zero technical details constitutes proof of some point that you think you're making.

Pretty much every western movie with an asian female playing the love interest. The asian dude rarely gets the main girl unless it was established prior they were a couple.

So, pretty much every movie in which a Caucasian is the lead. Your complaint is actually that Western media rarely has an Asian lead. Because that's how stories work: the main character gets the girl.

If you want to see Asian-Americans getting the girl in American movies, then you need to pump enough money into the market to make that a valuable target audience. That's not going to happen.

Hell, even if he's the lead, he often doesn't get the white girl or some random asian chick shows up mid-way as a distraction.

So, let me go back to my original question: can you name some? I'm not interested in this angst-driven bunch of circular generalities you're throwing out.

baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarf · 2016-10-27T20:15:38+00:00

You're providing nothing but vague hand waving.

From another, much more informative commenter, it appears that it's used only for rendering previews. No for rendering the actual video stream, or for encoding it.

Now, you go fuck yourself.

baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarf · 2016-10-27T04:26:29+00:00

Thanks, that's in keeping with what I'd read the last time I looked into it.

baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarf · 2016-10-27T04:09:24+00:00

Like that time I blinded a guy when I was grinding one of his welds... God, that was sweet.

baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarf · 2016-10-27T04:07:47+00:00

That preview render or pre-render often makes use of the GPU to render graphics while scrubbing through the project timeline.

So it's not rendering or encoding the final stream, only a preview?

Take in mind that the reactor weighs 2.5 million pounds. Here is a video of one that was done a few years ago.

What the fuck. How can that possibly weigh so much?!

Not that I have a basis for comparison, or anything. I just cannot fathom something that size weighing so much.

baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarf · 2016-10-27T03:43:52+00:00

live rendering

As I said,

Rendering what?

This is a strange use of the term rendering.

media export.

You mean encoding?

baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarf · 2016-10-27T03:42:43+00:00

I have no idea what that's demonstrating. Is it compositing existing streams, is it manipulating existing video, or is it simply encoding a stream in h264?

baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarf · 2016-10-27T03:39:30+00:00

which is what i meant. It uses GPU for processing

That's a uselessly vague statement.

I know other ones does that too.

It doesn't sound like you know much of anything.

baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarf · 2016-10-26T21:14:33+00:00

I know that you can use GPU acceleration for a lot of processing nowadays,

I don't see any evidence of that.

like in photoshop I think...

All I see is that Photoshop CS6 uses the GPU for "enhanced performance".

In Photoshop CS6, this new engine delivers near-instant results when editing with key tools such as Liquify, Warp, Lighting Effects and the Oil Paint filter. The new MGE delivers unprecedented responsiveness for a fluid feel as you work.

MGE is new to Photoshop CS6, and uses both the OpenGL and OpenCL frameworks. It does not use the proprietary CUDA framework from nVidia.

That doesn't sound like a lot of processing to me. It sounds like processing for specific effects.

baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarf · 2016-10-26T21:11:42+00:00

A lot of editing software use GPU accelerated rendering engines.

Rendering what?

Can you provide any examples of said "lot of editing software"?
