>Being concerned that TSMC’s expansion into the United States could dilute Taiwan’s semiconductor leadership, Taiwanese authorities are mulling setting a new export rule that would only let the world’s number-one foundry export technologies that are two generations behind its leading-edge production node

kinda funny, not gonna lie. apparently the taiwanese think america is somehow obliged to protect them from the mainlaind. just because, apparently.

Not new. The Taiwanese govt has always subjected TSMC to export restrictions (e.g. Former president Lee's blanket ban of Chinese outsourcing/investment) that saved the industry and with economies of scale/scope turned it into what it is today

Basically if you plan to entertain or to watch things in a group it's the only way to get a panel big enough. HDR and Dolby Vision are total memes though, only normalfags who don't know shit will say otherwise. But panel size and quality really make a big difference.

oh sorry I had no idea I am having an argument with a religious person.

the problems with gnome are:
- weird architecture (sometimes it makes it awesome though)
- poor developer experience (and no desire to fix it)
- weird altitude to feedback and requests. (usecase?)

you are talking about something imaginary that does not exist in both fields - cosmic is FAAAR from stable or even interesting as it is. Gnome is far from bloated or rotting or even messy.

the hard truth is it is the best de for linux right now.

>The converging evidence across behavioral, academic, and neurobiological domains suggests that heavy TikTok and short-form video consumption correlates with measurable attention deficits, academic underperformance, and neurobiological alterations in users. These findings extend beyond isolated symptoms to show a pattern where platforms exploit developmental vulnerabilities through dopaminergic reward mechanisms, creating users who increasingly require constant stimulation while losing capacity for sustained cognitive engagement. The documented academic consequences, including lower GPAs, increased procrastination, and inability to engage with complex materials, suggest manifestations of deeper cognitive changes that could influence developmental trajectories, although further longitudinal research is needed. Individual differences in susceptibility, particularly among those with addiction tendencies versus those with higher boredom proneness, suggest that universal approaches to managing these platforms may be less effective than targeted interventions based on risk profiles.

>>107620262
>The consequences of short form media consumption and declining attention spans require careful consideration by educators, mental health professionals, and families navigating an increasingly fragmented digital world. Educational institutions face the problem of whether to adapt pedagogical approaches to accommodate shortened attention spans or actively work to rebuild students' capacity for sustained focus through attention management training and technology-free periods. Mental health professionals must develop assessment protocols distinguishing between technology-induced attention difficulties and underlying neurodevelopmental conditions, while addressing the addiction-like patterns some users display. As these platforms continue evolving to maximize engagement, the evidence suggests we are witnessing not merely a temporary cultural shift but potentially lasting alterations to cognitive functioning during critical developmental windows. The question remains whether the creative and social benefits of these platforms justify the mounting cognitive costs to a generation whose ability to sustain attention may determine their capacity to navigate an increasingly complex world.

Friend of mine recently bought a house and I did a tour with him to talk about how to best do retrofits for networking. I just grabbed my large toolbag because I didn't feel like rummaging around and parting it out to put a few cable testers, the lasers, and such.

Glad I did. I saw some weird stuff and grabbed my multi outlet testers. Over half the outlets were wired backwards, maybe a quarter of them had functioning grounds, and there was one circuit that had one outlet in each of 5 different rooms. Told him that he needed a full electrical inspection before he signed anything or to walk away.

I'm just a network guy, but I swear to god I will never buy a house that had a boomer living in it. Every last one of them is an electrical fire waiting to happen. He wound up walking on that place when another friend that does concrete work found a hidden room in the basement filled with at least 4 tons of asbestos tiles.

The problem with that is we've pretty much built all the feasible hydro going and it's being used as green base load rather than storage. I forget why you can't use wind to pump water up and gravity fed water turbines to generate stable load, but apparently it's not feasible.

Wind farms exist to take advantage of subsidies on one end and bullshit skewed market conditions on the other. It's costing the tax payer a LOT and they get none of the benefit while the energy producers are allowed to sell the electricity for profit outside the country and shut down the turbines (at tax payer expense again) whenever they can't get the price they want.
If the price disparity was ever fixed, wind would suddenly lose all investment.
>>
>>107619978
>Batteries wear out too fast at grid scale
And yet...
It's happening. Without notable complaints at the speed for which they need to cycle out units.
Not taking into account solid state batteries cresting the horizon that will have charge cycles in excess of 100k. Toyota seem confident they'll have some in their cars by 2028, if that's true then they'll be everywhere shortly after. Assuming china can't beat 'em to market.

>The cost to maintain an acre of batteries is beyond anything remotely sensible.
Oz seem to be coping. As does everywhere else that's deployed.

>we've pretty much built all the feasible hydro going
No. It really isn't.
For building a dam and flooding large areas, you're probably right. But for pumping water up a hill, or a tower... There's loads of unused incline changes, and the ability to build an incline change hasn't waivered any.

>Wind farms exist to take advantage of subsidies on one end and bullshit skewed market conditions on the other
And yet. They still run profit without subsidies.

Um. No.
There's a clue in the name. Where's the "thermal" coming from in your model?
I phear you may be trying to talk of harvesting the current, which does indeed work well in some places. Some units can harvest the current *and* the waves.

Hydrothermal is something completely different, and involves temperature gradients, and is related commonly with geothermal.

You are fundamentally right. The best possible move a programmer can make is to get out of the games industry.
>>
>>107617234
I was a game dev from the 90s to the 2010s.
When I started the switch was just happening from pure asm to C.
Most devs I worked with were hella smart.
The transition to 3d games meant everyone needed a bit of linear algebra. Any physics programmer needed a bit of calculus. Game AI is basically state machines and graph search.
Basically most math you needed could fit on a single page.

Mostly what made game programming hard was using limited memory, understanding and using the hardware and writing very efficient code to run in a frame.

By the time I quit none of that was true. You used an engine for all the 3d stuff and physics. It's really the same level as building web pages now.
I moved to companies doing real software engineering and never looked back.

However, if you do want to work in games the only way to make money if you can't make your way up the corporate ladder and become an executive, is to write your own game on the side. Not easy, not guaranteed, but at least you won't be poor and burn yourself for some shitty game company that is likely to shut down when you ship.

Depends on "why are the disparate?" and "how much will it cost?". If they're off-the-shelf systems you're tying together, that's one thing, but if it's your own design and you find yourself having to awkwardly jam stuff together, that's often (in my experience) indicating some large flaw in the design. Conversely, if you're just converting library A to library B's representation, and it takes 500uS, then say "fuck it", take a shot, and implement the dumb conversion code tagged with FIXME:

If those questions don't provide you an answer, then consider "Is this a pattern I'll end up using more in this project? Could some overarching system solve both/all those problems elegantly (without taking longer than the project itself)?"
You should at least be able to say "If I had unlimited time, I would tie these together with (X) because ...", and then "(Y, Z) can substitute for (X) with (downsides)". Figure out what tradeoffs you're looking at, then pick the one least likely to screw future (you) over.

This part was great. But its niggerlicious because now in order to change from one menu to another I have to:

>on click signals the game that the menus need to change
>game gets the timeline manager from its services list
>loads the correct timeline and plays it
Why is it niggerlicious? Because now I've moved on from sending nice IDs and explicitly telling my game what to do, to loading all of my information from a json file and its a ballache to work with.
