software tinkerer and aspiring rationalist. transhumanist and alterhuman

I try to be very careful about CWing things. sometimes I make mistakes but I want to make my posts as safe to read as possible

I sometimes post NSFW/kinky/lewd things behind CWs. this should go without saying but if you're a minor please do not interact with anything lewd/NSFW that I post

I have very limited energy and am very shy so it might take me a long time to reply to messages sometimes, or I might not be able to reply at all. this is kind of an "output only" account for the most part, but I'm hopeful that I can change that over time

I sometimes use curly braces to {clearly show where a grammatical phrase begins and ends}, like that. you can think of them like parenthesis in code or math, except they operate on grammar instead

awww my CPU is getting up to 94°F that’s really scary 😨 apparently anything above 90° means you need to immediately change something. I already have a massive CPU cooler though so I don’t know what the problem is? maybe I used too little, or too much thermal paste?

I’m going to open up my case and make sure that the two CPU cooler fans are pointed the right way but I’m like 95% sure that they are

I love how JaidenAnimations is able to consistently win gameshow type competitions by literally just being really meek and risk-averse and blending into the background

everyone else - sooner or later - ends up using aggressive strategies that backfire or bold gambles that don’t pay off and Jaiden is just being socially anxious in the background quietly getting through every challenge until the end lol

a complaint about video game system requirements
Show content

graphical fidelity peaked in Red Dead Redemption 2 and yet system requirements and filesizes continue to increase. I was kinda shocked to see that the new Indiana Jones game looks about the same graphically as Far Cry 5, which came out in 2018, and yet it recommends that you have an RTX 3080Ti and a Ryzen 7 7700

I feel like video game studios might be running into the trap that the modern web ran into - where they have a “performance budget” to fill up (tested on extremely powerful computers, of course) and there’s no need to optimize anything as long as you aren’t overbudget on performance

so instead of asking themselves “how fast should this reasonably run, given what it is?” they ask themselves “what kind of hardware is the average gamer going to have and what framerate will they expect?”

the EU "Stop Killing Games" initiative is doing a great job for video games. We need something the same for home automation devices and cars and stuff:

omg I have been asking for this for over a decade and finally there’s a Creation/GameBryo game where you can adjust your damage and enemy damage separately in the difficulty options. they finally added that to Oblivion Remastered, no mods needed

STOP DOING MATH meme except it's STOP USING FLOATING POINTS with this list I copied off of wikipedia

There are three kinds of operations that can return NaN:

  • Most operations with at least one NaN operand.
  • Indeterminate forms:
    • The divisions (±0) / (±0) and (±∞) / (±∞).
    • The multiplications (±0) × (±∞) and (±∞) × (±0).
    • Remainder x % y when x is an infinity or y is zero.
    • The additions (+∞) + (−∞), (−∞) + (+∞) and equivalent subtractions (+∞) − (+∞) and (−∞) − (−∞).
    • The standard has alternative functions for powers:
      • The standard pow function and the integer exponent pown function define 00, 1∞, and ∞0 as 1.
      • The powr function defines all three indeterminate forms as invalid operations and so returns NaN.
    • Real operations with complex results, for example:
      • The square root of a negative number.
      • The logarithm of a negative number.
      • The inverse sine or inverse cosine of a number that is less than −1 or greater than 1.

Here @ddrake gets at something important: programming languages aren’t just a pile of syntax and features. They have context, motivations, idioms, expectations, communities. These things are all interrelated; in fact, they are all •part of the language•. And they are the things a language guide should communicate.

capitalism, complaining about hiring

wouldn’t it be funny if I applied to work at a job and then they interviewed me and decided to allow me to do the job and then I proceeded to do work in exchange for money that I need in order to live?
