  • Grapes double sensor magnetic power in an epic quantum breakthrough

    Jump

  • Jesus this is bad science, and bad science reporting. There was a paper specifically focusing on why grapes burn in microwave - turns out two spherical objects with certain properties tend to focus microwave radiation on the point right in between. Use that knowledge and make some proper antenna instead.

  • I'm not even mad, I'm just amused at the blatant stupidity of this stunt. If this was a white nationalist male, I'd understand but, here's this thing.

    Don't know why are you bringing skin color and gender into this.

    Is lead toxicity from shooting guns a primary reason many Americans seem cognitively impaired ?

    Garbage education system.

  • A Valve engineer fixed 3D lighting so hard he had to tell all the graphics card manufacturers their math was wrong, and the reaction was: 'I hate you'

  • I imagine in case of GPU design, there should be a bunch of tests for image correctness at some point, which would require pixel perfect reproduction to pass.

    But it's plausible that tests were running incorrect math too.

  • TIL tumblr used to be front page of internet

  • It's far too late for that. Userbase moved on. Tumblr is dead forever

  • A Valve engineer fixed 3D lighting so hard he had to tell all the graphics card manufacturers their math was wrong, and the reaction was: 'I hate you'

    Jump

  • "It's a bit technical," begins Birdwell, "but the simple version is that graphics cards at the time always stored RGB textures and even displayed everything as non linear intensities, meaning that an 8 bit RGB value of 128 encodes a pixel that's about 22% as bright as a value of 255, but the graphics hardware was doing lighting calculations as though everything was linear.

    Jesus Christ, I knew this was a problem with image editing software back then, but I never knew, that GPU manufacturers fucked it up as well. How did this happen?

  • Solar modules now selling for less than €0.06/W in Europe

    Jump

  • Something the EU could also have done but refused to

    But they did - there were massive subsidy programs, that ultimately were so successful, that were phased out due to financial stress they put on the budget

  • Elon Musk to lead new efficiency department named after his favourite cryptocurrency

  • Nah, this is somewhat of exaggeration. You still work within the legal framework.

    It's true that with money comes power, but it's not a god mode.

  • Everything you don't agree with is divisive, isn't it? Every single comment that is even slightly pro Trump must be deleted and poster must be banned. The way you can live in happy bubble of the only right opinions...

  • Mike Pondsmith just extrapolated the trends he saw in the society - corporatism, drugs, plastic surgeries, stress, crime, prostitution. He just pushed these things to the extreme and put in scifi setting. This isn't just Trump thing, this is happening for decades now.

  • It is. Elon licks Trumps butt because SpaceX space missions, and Trump licks Elons butt because of Twitter.

  • Hyundai Design North America Vice President Ha Hak-soo said that people "get stressed, annoyed and steamed when they want to control something in a pinch but are unable to do so."

    How many years it took them to figure it out?
