2nd place is obviously more skilled / is amazing at realistic art.

1st place had more heart.

Google is an incredibly shitty company.

Google running the software on the head units would still be a better situation than what the manufacturers currently do. My 2019 default head unit is already end of life / completely lost software support.

Yeah. This whole results thing isn’t really a well-structered article like you might get from a real journalist, so much as a quick and dirty comparison for examples sake in a software update push.

Anything for you boo 😘

Make sure to fix your fox typo too.

From the email;

The gain in performance varies wildly depending on the application in question and the user’s hardware. For some games NT synchronization is not a bottleneck and no change can be observed, but for others frame rate improvements of 50 to 150 percent are not atypical. The following table lists frame rate measurements from a variety of games on a variety of hardware, taken by users Dmitry Skvortsov, FuzzyQuils, OnMars, and myself:

The whole thing is worth a read to see how this works, but jumps from 110 fps to 860 fps is just insane. The wine team has done some really great shit with this.

Yes, that’s why I used it to describe a duck instead.

Changing genders does nothing to this comic.

Despite the word being used, it’s not actually a joke about rape. This is a joke on the same level as a weiner dog humping someone’s leg. The perspective of an overly amorous duck with the main characters butt in frame add to the humor of it, but it’s still only a crappy joke about an animal trying to get it on with a person.

I am the middle of struggling to backup my calendars from nextcloud after my GPU failed. Nextcloud in docker containers is terrible for any sort of recovery. They’re not even broke, you just can’t run them with a GPU setup, remove the GPU, and then expect them to still be able to run.

The AI bubble really has been fucking everything up.

I liked it well enough. The emotional ending managed to wash away a lot of not-my-specific-humor sins, but the ‘lol so random’ style isn’t normally my thing, so it definitely wasn’t a favorite of mine either.

I appreciate that cyanide and happiness is just as dumb/low brow as it was back in 2006. My humor hasn’t changed all that much either, so we’re a good match.

This is your own personal card but your employer reimburses back travel funds for you once you’ve got a receipt?

I’d check for alternative redemption options on the card first. ‘Cover my purchase’ or similar. Maybe you could use it for online shopping until it eventually runs out.

You could also buy gift cards and sell them online, but that’s a lot more work.

Using your own company as the conversion from points to cash is risky because that’s also your main form of income.

Those are super neat. I saw a video about how that was sidelined when they made the insulation regulations in the 1900s, which was a real bummer.

One of the things to consider, beyond the dry climate requirements mentioned already, is that you can’t use it as a drop in replacement for fiberglass insulation. You have to plan the building around it because it requires a lot more space, relatively speaking.

From the top since you seem to have forgot;

This is a really cool project and really speaks to the changing nature of warfare. And, once again, highlights the real reason so much money has gone into FDM processes.

If warfare is not “the real reason so much money has gone into fdm” why did you say it was?

You’ve missed my point. Obviously governments fund manufacturing stuff, including 3d printing. Obviously governments also fund research into better war technology, like with boing and everyone else. You’ve proved the point of that several times over.

What I’m asking for is evidence that 3d printing was funded specifically with war in mind, especially from 20 years ago (as compared to five years ago with the advent of the ukraine/russia war).

When I first asked about this, I didn’t think it would be such a hassle, and I had actually hoped to see a neat article about the history of 3d printing and how it’s been specifically developed as a way to make better weapons for over twenty years. What I got was scorn, mocking, and questioning of my basic mental capacity because I … Couldn’t do the research myself?

Correlation is not causation. The government funds boatloads of shit that doesn’t work out, in the hopes that it becomes eventually useful. The covid19 vaccine was under development since the early 2000s because of swine flu. Is it right for me to say that government expected the swine flu to be used for war purposes because they funded research into it, or would you ask for more details about how the swine flu vaccine was specifically war-related research before beleiving my wild claims?

I’ve noticed that a large chunk of furry content that I come across (I don’t look for it) tends to be about common life situations, but that would only apply to furries. There’s not usually a point to them, beyond being an example of what life as a furry might be like in the mundane sense.

In this case, the fox guy is being a creep and stealing a scale from the lizard guy. A comparitive situation might be a random dude stealing a girls hair for a keepsake.

Or just plug your ears because… I don’t even know why. You do you.

If you ever received any pushback on this theory, this is why. Asking for evidence is not “plugging my ears”. Incredible claims require incredible evidence, and you have provided nothing beyond a single link to the NSF, which is literally a government agency made for funding research into making literally everything. That’s not funding additive manufacturing for war purposes. That’s funding for all of the manufacturing methods because it’s just good fucking sense as a government to keep your technological edge.

You also included all (or many) of the wofld governments, not just the USA in your claim. Your half ass source doesn’t even include any government other than the USA.

Forgive me for not immediately trusting that the world governments are all funding additive manufactueing specifically to make war more efficient when you can’t even try to source anything beyond just the USA nsf.

Additive manufacturing (of which FDM is one of the most accessible techniques) has been a MASSIVE funding source amongst world governments over the past 20+ years.

I’d love your sources for this.

I guess? I’d just assume they work like real hair/scales that can be grabbed completely unnoticed if it’s about to fall off, but if it’s healthy might actually hurt when pulled.

Considering fox guy grabbed it on purpose, it likely was sticking out / about to fall off anyways.
