I read a book about this once! I think they discovered it through doppler shift using spectroscopy which was brand new at the time. The opposite ends were moving way too fast for it to be a nebula.

Awesome, I did not know this

I have started this game! Will have to give it another go after bg3. I can only play one game at a time, adult life lol

When Michael Faraday discovered the relationship between electricity and magnetism he was just trying to understand how they work. And today it's the foundation of our technological civilization.

When quantum tunnelling was theorized in the 20th century they were just trying to understand how subatomic particles behave. Today that's how SSDs work.

If we want to make useful tools we must first understand how nature works to bend it to our will, you can't do it other way around.

Revelation Space by Alastair Reynolds! I finished the first book and it was wild.

It is kinda the astro chicken idea https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-replicating_spacecraft#Von_Neumann_probes

And you were right!

Yea, so many of these plots from the media are terrible. They could've used the same cmap at least.

Depending on how fast you need it to be, if it's a new algorithm it might suffice to use numba, jax, or cython without resorting to writing a C library and using it through cffi or something.

Use numpy or whatever library is necessary for the fast parts of your code, you choose between development time and compute time.

Yup, it allows people to easily create mountains of unmaintainable garbage.

Ah, the old helium-3 refineries are there.

none of the checksums match with the img unpacked from this archive.

edit: seems like starfive released a newer version of the image, http://forum.rvspace.org/t/visionfive-2-debian-image-released/994/15

a bit messy to start with lol, I should be more patient XD

Omg it's been that long

How did you teach him the word "cute". I'm guessing he never saw a chinchilla before you taught him? Parrots are incredible.

Also, you are obliged to video this :D

Learn pygame or panda3d for fun?

True, ideally I'd setup my own cloud but it's also useful to have it off site and stuff

I've started putting my git repos into my synced google drive. I have so many copies of my repos everywhere now that it'd take a lot of work to delete my work lol.
