I’ve been lurking for a decade, but I have something worth sharing.

I’m a physicist (Rice Space Physics) working on my own framework called Axiomatic Physical Homeostasis (APH), which models how Earth’s magnetosphere "relaxes" into stable shapes after solar storms.

It occurred to me that Monte Carlo Path Tracing is doing it the hard way treating light like individual particles bouncing around. In plasma physics, we treat the field as a Stressed Fluid. I define a Geometric Stiffness (beta) for the vacuum and let it relax.

The Experiment:

- Seed: Shoot <1 ray per pixel (extremely noisy/stressed state).
- Relax: Run a matrix multiplication on Tensor Cores minimizing the Geometric Stress of the light field.

The Result:

The light field snaps into the correct global illumination almost instantly. It preserves temporal inertia (no noise when moving the camera) because the field has mass.

anime is a cringe and stupid hobby for children and perverts.
all the seething weebs replying to you telling you this is an "anime website" always ignore that there are only like 15 boards related to anime, meanwhile there are around 60 non-anime related boards, so this website is overwhelmingly not about anime.
>b-but the website originally started as-
that's a stupid argument, it'd be like saying that amazon is currently only a bookstore because it started as a bookstore.
things change and evolve over time.
4chan started as an anime website but it isn't one anymore and if i was in charge i would force all of you anime-watching cringelords to leave.

>but think about it, those people can't even leave social media, how can they kill internet if they are contained?
But they're not contained, it spills out all the time (reddit, /pol/, tumblr, like 20% of all threads on this site being twitter screen caps...). Plus like you said further, corporations adapt the internet to the least common denominator, so if people are exposed to facebook or whatever they're likely just to gravitate there than somewhere like here, and then that in turn attracts more people as it grows and it becomes a runaway cycle where we have I don't know 80 or 90% of internet traffic consumed by people using by fagman.
>the answer is, they didn't, the ones who killed internet are corporations trying to adapt the internet for these normies.
100%, but to play doubles advocate I don't blame them for targeting the largest and easiest audience possible because that's where the money is, and running even a moderately successful small website can be extremely expensive in server and traffic costs to say nothing of salaries. I don't blame anyone for trying to monetize their idea and become rich, especially if it's a good idea, I do blame those people for abandoning the people and principles that got them there in the first place purely in pursuit of more money power and control ("don't be evil").
>Money always destroy good stuff
Yes, but again see above
>I know we were brainwashed here in the west that capitalism is god, but everything in excess is bad, too capitalist = becomes a dystopian hellhole, too comunist = becomes a dystopian hellhole.
Agreed, capitalism is the way to go but there needs to be limits and guardrails to keep it from turning into crony capitalism / corporate socialism like we have now. Unlike the old "real socialism has never been tried" meme, real capitalism HAS been tried and it worked amazingly, but too much libertarian freedom allowed certain entities to take over and distort it into what we have now.
>>
>>107813192
The idea and the aesthetics were better but the horrible truth is that in most regards this is the best it's ever been and most of the flaws are downstream of things being better.
e.g. it's now much easier to find game information on wikis, which is what people want to do, but a side-effect is that there are less forums for discussing games. There are more people than ever to chat to, but a side effect is that none of them want have to talk to a boring person like me through lack of choice, it's much easier to avoid being bored, but a side effect is that people spend a lot more time being angry about what some idiot said on twitter, and so on.

Grok could never create nudes. The AI on the Grok website that people on /gif/ use can generate nudity but only based on text and commands, not any posted pictures.

Both of them seem to have been neutered quite drastically and that's probably going to keep happening if the pressure is kept up since 99% of its use hasn't been illegal so govts can't go down that route.

this logitech keyboard doesn't have rubber domes. the key presses against a plastic sheet with carbon traces. they touch together and you get your key press. way simpler and cheaper to make. where the leds are for caps/scroll lock etc. is on the main pcb that's the size of a cigarette lighter and thin as a piece of gum. it's shockingly simple.

I switched to a Loffee Flow Lite84 because my mom got it for free. It's louder (but you can put silent switches, which are way more expensive than they should be), but the small form factor is awesome and the feeling is good. Also, you don't have to hit each keys as hard as with the K120, which greatly reduce the strain on the articulations. After years of hitting a hard keyboard, you may end up with bad fingers.
The lack of a Fn key on the k120 always bothered me (but then I realized I can remap the capslock key).

>Is it difficult for a beginner, for someone who has no experience with linux in the first place?
strictly speaking, if you've been a programmer for a decade and know your way around a unix system, no. you can use the nix utility to rice your itoddler computers. but in practice, anybody in that position would already be familiar with linux so yes.
>>
>>107812658
The intended core of the question was "is NixOS more difficult to pick up than most distros, if there is know prior experience with linux", which obviously makes little sense if familiarity with linux is assumed. I guess the point is, that if you have to learn everything anyway, what arguments are there agains just starting learning from NixOS? Some good points are already in this thread

Incidentally I do have some experience working with unix-like systems, with uni servers and cygwin, but not to a degree that would be very helpful
