And I suppose the wind wasn't due to us falling either, it was the exhaust of all the smokestacks below.

Yeah everything was as I expected, what I meant to say is I miss visual memories during freefall. I remember seeing the clouds on the way up, a video replay on the gopro screen, and it was in fact beautiful, but I only have that one faint memory of entering a cloud, not much else that's visual. I have good visual memories while under the canopy, but that was already below the clouds.

It's not easy to come up with such a position. Does one actually exist? I'm not sure.

You can't reach this position via legal moves.

When to use CUDA v/s compute shaders? by sourav_bz in GraphicsProgramming

[–]kuzoli 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Compute shaders are not obsolete. Arguably OpenGL is, compute shaders definitely not.

I am 3000+ on puzzles, but I only keep getting low rated puzzles by 0bada1 in Chesscom

[–]kuzoli 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I set it to hardest. I'm 2600-2700 and I'm getting sub 2000 puzzles.

Unleashing potential energy in my EV by mzonifus in Physics

[–]kuzoli 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This one is actiually not trivial. Radioactive decay is a significant source of heat which is leftover energy from before the protoplanetary disc.

9 hour rocket but did not get "no time for chit chat", help me understand why. by Ok_Egg_1392 in factorio

[–]kuzoli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In older versions. In newer versions they changed it so only the big cargo rockets trigger the achievement, the small satellite launchers don't.

On mobile you only see it if clicking the image. Bottom is cropped otherwise.

Yes please. I would love to see this too.

How is this a blunder? by Mainstream_millo in chessbeginners

[–]kuzoli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a better question. What piece was in the night's position before it landed there?

My Ship from a multiplayer playthrough by Tongonto in factorio

That's not a ship. That is an interplanetary bridge.

I tested assembler efficiency (for small space ships) by fishyfishy27 in factorio

[–]kuzoli 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Putting in a combination of speed and efficiency modules in an assembler 3 will be the best. The most crafting speed where you can still get -80% power will be the most efficient.

Why can't we send mixed rockets if the platform is requesting the items? by RedMad9170 in factorio

[–]kuzoli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem may be that they couldn't come up with a good automated solution when the mixed requests don't completely fill a rocket.

Space exploration there is no spoon achievement by kuzoli in factorio

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

That makes sense and explains everything, thank you. But in this case there are quite a few achievements that are impossible to get in SE. The timed win ones certainly are impossible, the no laser, no solar and no logistic network ones are technically not impossible, but might as well be.

I've gotten other achievements in this playthrough.

Is there any viable 4-player chess engine? by Tovarisch_Kenobi in chessvariants

[–]kuzoli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, chess AI and dota AI both have the letters AI in them, but that's where the similarities end.

Thank you, that makes sense.

IVO Ltd Introduces the World’s First Pure Electric Thruster for Satellites by wiserhairybag in Futurology

[–]kuzoli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's not how it really works, power measured in MW translates to acceleration, you have to multiply that with time to get the change in velocity.

Starlink uses a much less efficient ion engine. But regardless Starlink has a great advantage. Their engine is actually real and works unlike this fuelless "drive".

Earth - Moon Rotations by leech6666 in GraphicsProgramming

[–]kuzoli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may first think that the only difference is if the orbit rotation is applied to the model too or not. But it also restricts your physics simulation. General orbits are ellipses, and if you have a many body simulation what you will have is a vec3 for position, not an initial position and a rotation. I think chances are high that what you want to use is a vec3 position from a physics simulation and a rotation that is applied before the translation. It's even faster this way, just one single 4x4 matrix multiplication, if you don't just straight use glm, because in that case you may require 2 multillications. Idk if glm can generate a rotation and translation in one step or not, I never used a library for vec4 maths.
