A raspberry pi zero 2 w ($15) has 512 MB of ram

it seems like the physical limits in the strength of cubes are probably becoming a problem lol

Those are some pretty beefy motors. Its interesting that they don’t have a link to a product page for the motors on the video, as I assume that was the primary justification for the project.

it supports translating whole pages currently, its hidden in the hamburger menu though and doesn’t support all languages

Both games are completely free and without any sort of monetization, I do think he definitely should have linked to the original game and taken it down when the original creator asked, but a fan remaking a game doesn’t sound that unusual

No-one is profiting, no one is losing anything, why does it matter?

That’s a patent, not copyright.

AdrianTheFrog, 6 days ago

No one’s making billions of dollars. No one’s making a single dollar. Both games have absolutely no monetization.

Its kind of funny because autocomplete on phones is definitely moving in the direction of using LLMs. Its like it wasn’t true when people started saying it, but it will be literally true in a couple of years at most.

I agree that these arguments are stupid, but is anyone actually saying we should do those things?

AdrianTheFrog, 13 days ago

Really? I would say it has less simple stuff and more complicated stuff, although it obviously has a lot of both.

I guess you mean that a lot of proprietary ‘professional’ software doesn’t work out of the box? I guess that’s true, but I wouldn’t call all of the alternatives ‘simple’ lol

If the internet isn’t fun for you, find a community on the internet that you actually enjoy being in. Easier said than done, I know, but the internet is a big place.

I have heard a lot of people criticize specific aspects of the language that they deem to be bad design, especially the type system. Its probably mostly because its popular though.

I doubt its ai - I don’t think AI would get that guardrail that consistent. It has that little hole in the exact same place over every bar, even the distant ones. Although, why is the guardrail double sided when there’s no road on the other side?

Nevermind, I found it on google maps.

No, I was wondering about the side of the guardrail facing the canal. If you look closely, there is a metal strip on that side too, which is not something I’ve seen here in the US. Maybe it’s just there to add extra strength? I guess traditional guardrails rely a lot on the guardrail deforming and acting like a net, which might cause a problem when the edge of the canal is so near, IDK

IDK, blender.org got DDoS-ed for a while too. It seems like it would take a lot of resources for no possible benefit to anyone involved.

I would say the distinction is that lemmy doesn’t have a personalized algorithm.

It’s hard to tell if the youtubers are getting more annoying or if its my tastes that are changing. Probably both tbh

Yeah, I wouldn’t say really that his channel has gotten objectively worse, just that he has realized that 90% of people who watch his channel are children and he has aimed his channel towards them - I just have to accept that I am no longer the target audience.

AdrianTheFrog, 16 days ago

yea, its funny to see xkcd.com/792 from 2010, back when google wasn’t evil

Alyx was 4 years ago and mostly made to sell the steamvr platform, CS2 makes tons of money, I guess valve just doesn’t think its worth it to work more on TF2.

AdrianTheFrog, 18 days ago

IDK, for me it would just be another thing to worry about, adding extra weight and cost with almost no benefit.

If they didn’t think they had a chance of exploding, they wouldn’t be testing them

You could say the same thing about literally any industry and it would be just as true

Important to point out that a lot of NASA’s problems are probably caused by Congress: their attempts to “save money” by re-using designs, the risk of NASA losing funding if any rocket they make fails, their insistence on having NASA support government military contractors, etc

This is a lot of what is preventing them from taking the rapid prototyping and iterative approach of SpaceX.

AdrianTheFrog, 17 days ago

I mean you could say the same thing about the whole entertainment industry, or the whole tech industry, or basically anything else that isn’t directly necessary for human survival.

All of them seem way more important than sending more junk into orbit.

Do you know what actually goes into orbit? Mostly 4 categories: communication satellites (both commercial and governmental), scientific monitoring, ISS support, and military satellites. Every satellite we send into space has a purpose. Without satellites, we don’t get: widespread aerial imagery, accurate weather forecasting, GPS, widespread ecological data, etc.
