From a programming pov, a definition of AI could be an algorithm or construct that can solve problems or perform tasks without the programmer specifically solving that problem or programming the steps of the task but rather building something that can figure it out on its own.

Though a lot of game AIs don’t fit that description.

I’ll see that and raise a Metroid Prime

That’s not quite accurate because the two numbers have a relationship with each other. i^2 = - 1, so any time you square a complex number or multiply two complex numbers, some of the value jumps from one dimension to the other.

It’s like a vector, where sure, certain operations can be treated as if the dimensions of the vector are distinct, like a translation or scale. But other operations can have one dimension affecting the other, like rotation.

Huge in 3d graphics and AI.

I did some research about it and it sounds like what I need is a dongle that isolates the charger and audio grounds from each other. Though a ferrite bead might help with the charge whine I get on one of my indoor chargers.

Was worried for a sec that you were going to say you got back to your hotel only to realize it wasn’t your 4yo. Would have been potentially traumatizing for everyone involved that noticed before you quietly returned the kid hoping no one else did notice and that your own kid didn’t drown in the meantime.

Was it a mistake because she turned you down or because she accepted?

My dongle that supports charging and analog audio for my car has a whine that changes pitch with the motor speed (guessing it’s very sensitive to the voltage or frequency of the alternator or something). Though at least it’s low enough that it’s almost unnoticeable when actual audio is playing.

It also requires the phone be unlocked to start sending audio through the USB interface. And maybe about 10% of the time whe I get it all set up and music/podcast playing, the motion of hitting the lock button on my phone to turn the screen off also bumps the usb port enough for it to briefly disconnect, which stops my audio and forces me to unlock my phone again to get it playing through the cable.

The phone needs to have a DAC anyways if it wants to drive its speakers. I could live with a smaller analog jack, but hate having to use a separate device with its own DAC that is probably way cheaper than the one already in my phone plus they probably don’t even isolate the audio signal from the charging signal because the main selling point is just the ability to play audio and charge at the same time.

As long as the fudged details don’t materially change the relationship between the anecdote and the point, I don’t think it’s a big deal.

Like whether it was grade 3 or 4 doesn’t really matter, but if it was the teacher telling the story or a classmate recounting the tales of his summer up with his uncle in Canada and they couldn’t retrieve the body because they ended up in a motorcycle fight with a band of ninjas, I’d say that’s a bigger deal.

Because why would he leave out the ninja fight bit, that part is metal!

Yeah, I sometimes wonder why the European and Japanese fascists even allied.

I’m doing a hearts of iron 4 playthrough as germany and just said no when the option of allying with Japan came up. It’s that alliance that ends up pulling the US into the war. This way I think Japan will have their own little war with the US and China while I fight it out with Britain and finish that up before even looking at the Soviets funny.

I think Hitler would have hated Trump. Pretty sure he did end up hating Mussolini. Fascism isn’t a big friendship club.

Normally it doesn’t work because they end up trying too hard and it feels like it’s not taking itself seriously (which can still be fine and works for parody movies like Scary Movie), but the Room feels like an honest attempt to make one of the greats that completely missed the (oh hi) mark. It’s the combination of earnestness and awkwardness that makes it so entertaining to watch, like a car crash in slow motion.

If it weren’t for seeing other works of his that also capture that same feeling (but it comes off a bit more forced… Can’t remember the name but he plays a building manager and it’s a series rather than a movie), I wouldn’t even suspect that he did it on purpose and figured out how to bottle that lightning.

The Room is considered a movie so bad it’s good, but if it turned out that Tommy knew what he was doing the whole time, would that make it just a good movie?

Oh wow, if steam is still 32 bit, forget the offshoots, fedora itself won’t be worth using. I’m on fedora but if I can’t run steam, then I’m finding a new distro.

On the flip side, what’s the reason they want to drop 32-bit support, given steam depends on it, which they should understand means it’s integral to the size of their current userbase?

Danish millennials and gen xers who work in retirement or old age support roles should change careers. And zers and alphas getting into it should consider hiatuses.

Just make sure you get consent first.

Oooh ok, I was surprised and confused for a second.

One… glances to the side hundred… more furtive glances billion… number two giving thumbs up and nodding dollars!

Welcome to out post-truth reality.

Yeah but game pass has the massive flaw of requiring windows to run.
