What did your parents refrigerate? Mine refrigerated bread.
  • I watched a video about this actually - iirc bread made with more oil stays longer, and bread made with more water gets stale and mouldy more quickly

  • House Democrat is proposing a constitutional amendment to reverse Supreme Court's immunity decision
  • Would still end with him getting arrested/impeached though, I guess he could do it as a self-sacrifice thing and leave Harris to run

  • House Democrat is proposing a constitutional amendment to reverse Supreme Court's immunity decision
  • I think it’s supposed to be congress’s responsibility to do that, but I guess there’s enough conservatives there to prevent that.

    Edit: you would need at least 1/3 of senate republicans to agree to impeach a justice

  • House Democrat is proposing a constitutional amendment to reverse Supreme Court's immunity decision
  • He can still probably get impeached, if it’s something congress doesn’t like

  • Biden Campaign Brushes Off Idea of Reforming the Supreme Court
  • Roosevelt needed the support of congress for that, which Biden doesn’t have. Unless you want him to order assassins or a military coup, I don’t think there’s anything he can do.

  • Biden Campaign Brushes Off Idea of Reforming the Supreme Court
  • Because the president doesn’t have official powers to reform the court

  • Clarence Thomas takes aim at a new target: Eliminating OSHA
  • Tons of the reasons given for why congress can do things don’t really make sense, like civil rights amendments were defended with the reasoning that congress can regulate interstate commerce, and segregation affects interstate commerce. IMO that doesn’t make sense, but everyone goes along with it because these regulations are obviously good. If we had a good constitution, we wouldn’t need to make these weird excuses to do things that are clearly necessary for the public wellbeing, but unfortunately we don’t, so we have to make do and have any decision we make be randomly struck down by the courts when they decide they don’t like it anymore.

  • I liked Fusion 360, I like Onshape - but I'd rather like something that I won't lose over the whims of one company. So, what?
  • I haven’t used ondsel myself but can’t you configure modernui to look similar?

  • I think if you install enough plugins you can get that similar experience from freecad

  • We coulda had Bernie...
  • We’re still doing ‘I don’t like his vibes’.

  • What's stopping him?
  • The president can’t bypass congress for elections, because congress/states have control. You can for the military, because it’s an executive department.

  • Pls someone make this reality
  • Just read the wikipedia list of common misconceptions

  • Anon thinks about Google
  • Chromebooks are insanely locked down at schools. I got one on eBay for $40, installed linux, and now it can play Minecraft Java at 60 fps so that’s something.

  • "Soundblaster" was such an 80s/90s name for a computer part.
  • yea, IDK how it works as I've never had a computer back then, but the quoted reply makes it sound like getting a sound card would take load off of the CPU.

  • "Soundblaster" was such an 80s/90s name for a computer part.
  • Not in the same way, as you aren’t using the integrated gpu at all if you get an external one. I guess if you’re talking about shared ram this makes sense though.

  • "Soundblaster" was such an 80s/90s name for a computer part.
  • I’m using a cheap one of those from amazon for my headphones on my laptop because the audio jack suddenly stopped recognizing when headphones were plugged in. (although I still get a dmesg error log when I stick a q-tip in to the jack? If anyone knows how to debug this, please tell me)

  • Anon dislikes reddit
  • I wouldn’t say ‘only’. There were a lot of downvoted things that were just controversial.

  • Anon dislikes reddit
  • Often there are multiple ways to interpret a poster’s intentions, and if you see a heavily downvoted comment you will automatically assume the worst.

  • Debian used to be so good. What happened!?
  • It wasn’t that new (2017), it just had weird hardware which iirc only recently got supported without proprietary drivers by the new audio system.

  • Debian used to be so good. What happened!?
  • This is funny because on a laptop I had I did this exact same progression - I started on Debian, but it didn’t have the right kernel version for my audio drivers, so I switched to Fedora, but it was running slowly (probably because of gnome, it lets you choose so this was my fault) so I moved to arch (with xfce) because it has a reputation for being relatively lightweight. It worked better, but it took longer to get working with the unusual chromebook hardware.

  • RealSense depth camera in ticket machines

    This is at JFK, does anyone know what they are used for? There wasn’t an obvious time when it was taking a picture.

    Pixart-Σ just feels so much nicer to use

    Prompt: A cyberpunk scifi painting of a floating city in the air above the sea

    It uses a new, fancier, 18GB text encoder (t5) to follow the prompt much more closely. It isn't perfect, but its much better than SDXL in my opinion. It does seem to be a bit worse at photorealistic subjects and has a tendency to create 1-pixel vertical lines.

    Some other images:

    impressionist, a woman sits in the middle of a crowded cyberpunk street, people bustling around, orange and blue glowing signs, warm atmosphere

    a bright cinematic photo of a solarpunk city at midday, skyscrapers, steel, glass, vines and fields of vivid tropical plants

    SDXL Turbo generated all of these images in 10 seconds

    I get around 1 image every quarter of a second on my 3060. The quality isn't up to par with regular SDXL (not even close) but it follows prompts well and is extremely fast. Here are some of the best images in this batch:

    Prompt: "impressionist oil painting, watercolor, a crying old southern man eats cheese at sunset in front of a futuristic dystopian cyberpunk city"

    Simple Godot graphics demo

    Runs at around 300 FPS on my RTX 3060, WITH realtime global illumination enabled (sdfgi). Sadly still not fast enough for the scene to be playable in VR on my hardware - at least not at native resolution.

    Some additional screenshots:

    ! ! ! !

    I'm pretty new to Godot, and the tower is a model I made for a different project. This is an updated version of the scene I posted here a couple of months ago. I'm posting this to show that you can achieve some pretty nice graphical fidelity in Godot - and you don't need to be a professional artist or have tons of Godot expertise to do it.

    [OC] Barad-Dûr and the Eye of Sauron - EEVEE

    ! ! ! !

    It uses baked ambient occlusion and has 20,070 triangles, 10,576 vertices, 8,752 faces, and is 45mb in total, including textures. It uses 2 4k sprite sheets for the eye to run in Unity without using the Video Player component.

    Just started Godot, made a simple graphics test

    I'm using SDFGI and TAA for this scene, the one strange thing I've noticed is that rough metallic surfaces like that sphere can look odd, most of it is rough but there are some sharp lines, not realistic behavior for a surface like that. You can see the reflection of the sun is blurred, most of the scene is blurred, but you still get some sharp lines for some reason. This only seems to happen with roughness values between 0.1 and 0.2, a roughness value of 0 looks fine. I'm getting 210-220 FPS in this scene on a 3060 at 1080p.

    Just a plane I made early in Career Mode

    My graphics mods:

    • Distant Object Enhancement : Better distant crafts and stars
    • Environmental Visual Enhancements Redux : lightweight clouds, city lights, more
    • Parallax 2.0 (performance intensive) : much better planet surfaces
    • PlanetShine : approximated light reflected from planets and moons
    • ReStock : parts overhaul in the stock style
    • Scatterer (Slightly performance intensive) : Much better atmosphere, sunset, and ocean
    • TUFX : much-needed post processing improvements
    • Waterfall : amazing engine plume overhaul
