• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘Lidar is lame’: why Elon Musk’s vision for a self-driving Tesla taxi faltered⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  The company has not released information on whether, or how long, it has spent mapping out or testing the driverless technology on Austin’s streets.

  That’s being too nice, the CEO is clearly proud of not mapping cities, as seen in the tweets. The journalist should call it out explicitly. “They are probably not mapping as suggested by the CEO’s public posts.” That’s not too much of a leap.

  In that case you can play Witcher 3 instead, I’ll allow it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon turns on raytracing⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Subsurface scattering is not one of the things you get automatically with ray tracing. If you just bounce they rays off objects as the usual first step you don’t get any light penetration into the object, so none of that depth.

  Maybe you meant ambient occlusion?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Order of magnitude is a hell of a drug⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Using 1 is fun. That means the circumference of a circle is equal to its diameter.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I've got something special for you⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  6 arc seconds, not a very well rounded individual

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Friend of mine had the same scenario in high school. The only one who knew was the twin sister of the girlfriend. The rest of the family would never have accepted a non-muslim. It’s probably the only way to do this until she’s an adult and can tell them to fuck off.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kid gave a reasonable answer without all the math bullshit⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  it’s much easier to just substract 2 from 2000, “IIMM” duh!

  For anyone wondering why this is wrong, there are two reasons:

  1. The roman numeral system only traditionally contains subtractions from the next higher five- and tenfold symbol. So you can subtract I from V and X, X from L and C, C from D and M

  2. The subtractions only generally allowed one symbol to be subtracted, with a few notable exceptions like XIIX for 18 and XXIIX for 28

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kid gave a reasonable answer without all the math bullshit⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Given 4/6 x > 5/6 y therefore x > 5/4 y

  Marty’s Pizza must have been more than a quarter larger than Luis’. The kid is exactly right. And the teacher is not flexible enough to engage outside their expectations for how the question was supposed to be answered.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Since the others tackled polygraph’s uselessness, I want to comment on another angle:

  I think fundamentally in such a case it will be easy for you to convince yourself that you’re telling the truth in the moment you say it.

  After all you are telling the truth to a version of the question, and you only have an assumption that the questioner means a different version of the question. Even if it’s a good assumption, nothing in particular makes your version worse, in fact you could argue it’s better.

  That combined should make it easy to mentally gloss over the contradiction. So I think your physiological reaction will be indistinguishable from telling the truth on control questions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨SteamOS finally released by Valve⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  it won’t change shit if its Debian 2

  So at best kernel 2.2.xx good luck with the hardware support. Flatpack is not a solution for everything.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Every Time I Post⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sooo… agitating?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon makes a modern game⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I like the ghosting on the blade edge from the fake frames that they added in the right comic panel.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨And gay men. I'm sorry. I'm weak for it⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think that only works with hot foods that don’t actually raise your bodies temperature

  It feels hot and it affects circulation and stuff. But the physical heating effect is pretty minuscule. If you think about it, a human is more or less like 75kg of water at 36 degrees celsius, if you add 0.25kg of water at 50 degrees celsius (cup of tea) you end up with a body of 75.25kg at 36.05 degrees celsius.

  If Randy Pitchford was a real CEO he would find a way to make $60 games

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Oof⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Ohh I see

  Battlefield is named for its proximity to the 1861 Battle of Wilson’s Creek, one of the first large battles of the American Civil War.

  It would not have occurred to me that you’d call a town that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Oof⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I know this is not the point, of the post, but what the hell do they mean by calling the raped teen a Battlefield teen? Was she a pro gamer?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the worst spelling you've seen?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Latierra

  If I had to bully her I’d call her Latrine

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the worst spelling you've seen?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Axel is the normal spelling around here (Switzerland), so I’m interested what you would have expected instead? Aksel?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gave him an offer, then took it away. Thanks PayPal.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  From my layman’s perspective it sounds like this should net him some compensation under promissory estoppel

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Helpful tip for this weekend⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Doesn’t really matter, since I’m not an English delivery driver lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Helpful tip for this weekend⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  He’s English it seems. I guess when it’s wet for 3/4 of a year the moped isn’t the preferred choice for delivery drivers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨people trashing the self-service section of the post office⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Also they’re using “Packerl” for package that’s probably Austria. Maybe Switzerland it’s not like I’m a specialist in mountain gibberish.

  As a native speaker of mountain gibberish I can tell you that’s not ours. Either Austria or maybe Bavaria. Their gibberish seems similar to me sometimes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨people trashing the self-service section of the post office⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it’s Austria. “Packerl”

  What about an MRI? Too slow maybe?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pope Joan⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Those two skull outlines just look like they were photographed with a different focal length or something. There is no way skull morphology is this strongly affected by sex.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some good examples of "Where the fuck do you go" kind of games?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Disco Elysium for me. Too many open directions. Too much player agency. I had no idea where I should go.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Recommendations for "girly" games?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes same here. I did watch a bit of someone else playing the one with the two Mexican boys running away, but never really had the motivation to play it myself. I guess I just found time power to be much more interesting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you're a broke vampire, just say that⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh yeah, and wasn’t there a Vampire who became crime scene photographer but had a vial of blood in his chest pocket. Just in case the flash would kill him, the blood would instantly drip onto his ashes and revive him.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Recommendations for "girly" games?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Agreed, I played it the first time when I was 26, and I’m a straight Swiss and German man. Freaking love playing as Max. I played it two more times after that, and also the Chloe focused prequel.
