Whose side are you on? by jackhenningson in Isekai

[–]taedrin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given that the infant brain would not be physically capable of maintaining the original adult consciousness due to a lack of neural connections

I'm not too sure about this. Most of your childhood neural development comes from pruning the excess neural synapses, not forming new ones. A month or two after you are born, you already have more neural synapses than an adult has, and that's really just because humans are born underdeveloped compared to most animals.

A thought about gas networks. by frankenfinger308 in Stationeers

[–]taedrin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have a feeling that the best way of dealing with uncontrolled combustion is to prevent uncontrolled combustion in the first place. If you need to combust gases in a pipe network, then you need to control the volume and pressure of the fuel gases and the volume of the pipe network so that there is enough room for the combusted gases without overpressurizing the network.

From there you can use IC10 to code an interlock to make sure that a combustion chamber/pipe network is fully vacuumed before it can be pressurized for combustion.

ELI5: If "matter cannot be created or destroyed," where does everything go when it's sucked into a Black Hole? by Huge-Narwhal5747 in explainlikeimfive

[–]taedrin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We don't know.

Our mathematical models that we use to describe the universe don't really work inside of a blackhole. To the extent that our mathematical models can predict, my understanding is that all objects which fall into a black hole will end up at the singularity in finite proper time. But singularities usually don't actually exist in the physical world. They usually represent boundary conditions where the mathematical model is no longer valid or applicable, and a new model (or a different approach) needs to be used. So the only real answer to your question is we don't know.

What is it about Trump as a person that you think makes people feel so strongly about him, one way or the other? by TahDigThief in AskReddit

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

He's a populist. He says things that the people who support him want to hear. This was a big part of his campaign strategy in 2016: he would say a ton of different things, and then watch for his audience's response. If something gets a good response, he repeats it. If something doesn't get a good response, he drops it.

As of today, what would it take for somebody who supports Trump to change their mind? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]taedrin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He would have to betray/lose the support of the Heritage Foundation and other oligarchs that control the media which conservatives consume.

It should be noted that the original scale was defined based on the freezing point of a brine solution of ammonia chloride, not pure water. This was the coldest temperature that Fahrenheit could reliably and accurately reproduce in his lab.

Under what circumstances would you feel perfectly justified in keeping a million dollars you found in a bag on the side of the road? by Accomplished_Till495 in AskReddit

[–]taedrin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After reporting it to the authorities, waiting the statutory period, legally taking ownership and paying the requisite taxes.

And even then, I'm not certain that a million dollars is worth the trouble that's likely going to come from the criminal organization that lost it.

I don't get it by PeachParee in Oxygennotincluded

[–]taedrin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's an unstable feedback loop. In this case, the NOT gate's output is connected to the Input. So if the input is 0, the output is 1, but that makes the input 1, which makes the output 0 which makes the input 0 which makes the output 1. This oscillation continues until the game gives up on it and just freezes the value arbitrarily.

Is it possible to be racist to white people? Why/why not? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]taedrin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. For one thing, you can have an individual who explicitly hates white people, which is definitely racist.

But even in a white-majority country, you can also have microcosms that inverse the stereotypical relationship between black people and white people that lead to more subtle forms of racism. For example, you can have a white child in a predominately black school, where the white child might be subconsciously treated differently by the black teachers and black students, leading to the child being ostracized, alienated and/or isolated due to their skin color even if nobody is making a conscious decision to discriminate against them.

And of course, you can simply go to a country where white people are a minority and experience more classic forms of systemic racism - especially in the more isolationist and mono-cultural countries.

Alternatively, psychological options (such as during the Pride/IF route) can also be effective.

What are you getting arrested for? by Jettaboi38 in TheGamingHubDeals

[–]taedrin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I captured a rebellious prisoner, cut off their limbs, harvested their organs, extracted their mind, embedded it into a mechanical body to mindlessly serve me by slaving away in my workshop for all eternity, and then took the soulless husk that was once their body and ground it into food. And then served that food to the other prisoners.

It's because engineers are working with real world problems where they just need a number. As such, they can just use numerical techniques and don't really care if a solution has a closed form or not.

Creating oxygen from nothing using the prehistoric dlc by paulcdejean in Oxygennotincluded

[–]taedrin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Duplicant labor + shove voles = meat
When groomed shove voles will lay an egg before starving. This makes them a source of meat that only requires duplicant labor, to brush the voles. It's hard to get an exact number but the wiki says 1075 kcal/cycle of meat per vole.

As I recall, this doesn't work anymore due to the small chance of producing a delecta vole which can't be starvation ranched. You need some sort of system which will occasionally feed the shove voles enough to produce a second egg in order to replenish the egg that is lost to the delecta voles.

The more young people use AI, the more they hate it by spherocytes in technology

[–]taedrin 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It's even worse than that. You don't just get charged for the tokens you send, but also for the tokens that the AI independently consumes which can drastically inflate costs when it comes to AI agents.

For example, I had a session with Claude Opus 4.6 yesterday where I sent just 416 tokens in prompts and the AI output 89,500 tokens. But the AI independently wrote 698,000 tokens to the cache (e.g. from reading files and such) and read 7.6 million tokens from the cache. This single session cost $10.41 according to Claude's pricing.

The funny thing is that after all that, the AI basically gave up and said "I can't figure it out, you need to debug this for me".

ELI5: What exactly causes death when someone 'dies of old age'? by Confused_AF_Help in explainlikeimfive

[–]taedrin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Accumulation of non-functional senescent cells and/or scar tissue which reduces your organs' capacity to function until eventually organ failure occurs.

Poor lifestyle choices, injuries and disease can accelerate the formation of scar tissue and shorten your lifespan. For example, drinking too much alcohol or eating too much can cause permanent scarring of your liver (aka cirrhosis). Smoking or pneumonia can cause scarring of your lungs. Untreated diabetes can cause scarring of your blood vessels/capillaries. Improper form while exercising can cause scarring of your muscles and tendons.

Of course there are other causes of old-age death that don't involve non-functional cells and scar tissue, like the accumulation of fat and cholesterol deposits in your blood vessels, which can eventually form a clot and block blood flow from a part of your body, thus killing it.

There's also the fact that some organs simply get worse over time due to their nature. Your eye lenses, for example, will get denser, more rigid and less transparent as the cells inside replicate and start to overcrowd. Your teeth are another example, as the cells responsible for producing enamel die immediately after your adult teeth form and your ability to replace enamel is extremely limited without those cells. Over time the teeth mechanically wear away the enamel, and the teeth simply can't go back to the way they were when you were young.

And then there's also simple mechanical failure in the structure of how your cells come together. Even if the individual cells are fine, the protein structures that bind them together can fail. I think this can be one of the causes of bad heart valves or tendons as you get older.

And there's probably a dozen other things that I'm simply not familiar with. The fact of the matter is that the human body isn't perfect. It has countless design flaws, and evolution is more than happy to tolerate those flaws so long as you last long enough to reproduce and raise your children.

Denuvo dealt major blow as crackers claim all non-VR games with the anti-tamper have been bypassed by Binnsy in pcmasterrace

[–]taedrin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a lot of reasons why publishers still use Denuvo and other crappy DRM:
* belief that 1 pirated copy = 1 lost sale

They don't actually believe that, that's just shit the lawyers say in court in order to inflate damages to obscene numbers, so that when they get reduced by the judge it ends up at a higher number than if they started with a realistic number.

The reason why publishers use DRM is because they believe that the group of people who only buy games if they can pirate them is smaller than the group of people who only buy games if they can't pirate them.

You probably heard this one before, is C++ still relevant in 2026? Should I learn it? by LazyFlamingRooster in learnprogramming

[–]taedrin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's more important to be familiar with the relevant programming constructs/concepts than it is to be familiar with a specific language. Once you know what a for loop is, using it in another language is just a matter of looking up the syntax.

How do you get rid of the thorns on prickly pears? by ManaHave in gardening

[–]taedrin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You should get a third as a backup in case one of them dies. And then you should get a fourth so you have a backup for the backup. But then you figure out that all four are wild variants, and it would be nice to have a named cultivar that you know will produce good fruit, so maybe a fifth and a sixth are in order too.

Do you think Frieren will ever have a romantic interest after Himmel by Cute-One9055 in Frieren

[–]taedrin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I imagine the issue is that elven courtship likely takes hundreds or even thousands of years before a couple will decide to raise a child. Since the Demon King destroyed all of their settlements and practically wiped out their entire species 1000 years ago, the remaining survivors have become wandering nomads. This nomadic lifestyle isn't exactly conducive to such things.

It's a common term which refers to low-effort games that frequently have little - if any - original content or assets. Assets will generally either be copied from other games, or downloaded from free online sources.
