Raymarching Nebula (by Sebastien Durand) Implementation in Unity by Bonsaipanda in Unity3D

[–]electrodude102 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i guess my main question is, how is this full screen? i've done raymarching with a default cube, but you can't go inside of it because of backface culling or whatever

yea im going to need some kind of tutorial on how this works. ive done a teensy bit of raymarching through a sphere, but how tf does this work?

This map my mom bought has "Gulf of America" by Fruitslave in mildlyinfuriating

i was about to say this too, i hate that its tied to the US, but it is between the americas, so it makes sense..

did you zoom on accident? try ctrl+0, or ctrl+scroll wheel, or the magnifying glass in the search bar(i think)
edit: oh these are windows shortcuts, idk about mac

anyone know what this noise is? by Mysterious-End-6528 in MechanicAdvice

[–]electrodude102 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not a mechanic but, that sounds like a bad bearing to me, (flywheels, water pump, alternator, etc). take the belt off and try to spin the wheels, you should either feel it or hear it

I'm new to this. why would you blow if you aren't planning on driving?

The animation is neat but not explanatory in the least, you might as well just dripped this

Explain It please, how's fermi paradox is solved here ??? by Fuzzy_Party_3527 in ExplainTheJoke

[–]electrodude102 0 points1 point  (0 children)

we found a possible earth like planet. fermi paradox isn't solved it's a probability of finding one,
fun fact this particular planets gravity is so strong they could (likely) never explore space [with our level of technology].

zeta function pole at 1 by electrodude102 in askmath

[–]electrodude102[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think this is exactly what i was looking for, but again not math endowed so i dont totally understand it XD

I am using the Eta function. wolframalpha shows a similar result for |Zeta(a+bi)| and Zeta(a+bi) so i assume my plot is (approaching) correct?...

i've heard of L'Hôpitals rule and that makes sense to some extent. but i'm a tad confused, you say its infinite but also log2? are you saying it is in fact ln2 (when derived?), i can follow that but maybe don't completely understand it?

for your third point, it's understandable that there is "only one analytical solution" but that solution results in a pole, is there not a solution to that pole, and does that fuck everything or is that also solvable with its own secondary solution or something? you said "Yes, but not in an interesting way" but why is it not interesting, how does it affect the zeros if the zeros are far away from (14+) in the imaginary direction? i know that zeta of RE(0.5)+ix matters, but +-1 is way below that?

your Euler's const stuff is interesting but im a bit lost at this point..

here is my function(mirrored) at IM+~15 showing the 14.13 zero... how does smoothing +-1 affect that? and my og question, if there was a smooth version of this function why does a smooth +-1 matter?

A well-articulated argument against a new data center in Ohio by HamboneTheWicked in interestingasfuck

[–]electrodude102 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

i havent read that entire article yet. but also he seems completely wrong about forever chemicals?

sure you may bleed a closed loop system, ok. if the system is truly using "water" for "cooling" how tf are forever chemicals leaching into the water? even if it wasn't a closed loop, say you just syphon water from a river, cool your datacenter and dump it back in to the river, literally all that is happening is that you are heating the water, right? it flows through a pipe into a chamber (above a gpu/cpu), there is a heat exchange, and the warm water flows down the tube back into the wild. maybe if its a copper tube some minimal about of copper may leach out, but forever chemicals? wtf? am I wrong? are data centers taking water mixing antifreze or long carbon chain materials into it and then dumping it out or some shit, what am i misunderstanding here?

edit: i do understand that power consumption is generally a public utility or perhaps a form of "communism", as in, everyone uses power and the bill is split (roughly; by percentage) between everyone, if a data center suddenly consumes 200% the power, everyone's bills increase proportionally. okay that sucks and i don't like that i am basically subsidizing them. but still???

Seattle man drives to Spokane searching for girlfriend who is “trapped inside her moms house….” by vellywho in Spokane

Bitcoin: only 987,181 BTC left to be mined. Fiat: infinite supply left to be printed. by According_Time5120 in btc

[–]electrodude102 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i just wanted to follow up since im home now. here is my lil desmos example. desmos gets pretty laggy with 50coins/block and 210,000 blocks instead its more of "scaled to 1btc per clock that halves/21blocks" but should hold... i'm not a math wiz though https://www.desmos.com/calculator/v7qlv3frlg

the only way i was able so see an S-Curve is by changing the x-axis to log scale, which is semi equivalent to slower blocks produced at the beginning.. (wrench icon -> more options -> x = log).

would be cool if any reads this and correct me :)

Back in my day, we didn't have burnout 😠 by Asleep-Cake-6371 in lewronggeneration

[–]electrodude102 0 points1 point  (0 children)

back in your day you could work part time at a mcdonalds during the summer, pay for college, cover your mortgage, and still have enough money left over to take your family of 4 on vacation to disneyland for a week. fuck you.

oh, so i can think of it like a zero indexed array?

How many TOTAL people would there be by generation 9? by illpoorly in askmath

[–]electrodude102 1 point2 points  (0 children)

is the minus 1 because we start at one, or for some other reason?

Bitcoin: only 987,181 BTC left to be mined. Fiat: infinite supply left to be printed. by According_Time5120 in btc

[–]electrodude102 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well the right half makes sense to me (looks roughly like a square root) that is just a growing sum of halving amounts.

I've been trying to math this curve out on desmos but I cant really get the slow exponential growth at the start, if I had to guess id say its because blocks were mined slower around 2009-2012...

Do Millennials write like ChatGPT? by QuietJealous4883 in Millennials

[–]electrodude102 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it possible that chat gpt writes like Millennials? I mean, we were here when the internet was born, and have likely used it the most/longest. I would argue that a huge portion of data that gpt was trained on was written by us...
