The ti-84 plus is based on the zilog z80. From 1976. The calculator is still being made, and still costs $100.

Better calculators just use floating point math with a few tricks on top to pretend it isn’t floating point math.

don’t worry about performance, GHz will always go up

TF2 devs lol

This is slightly misleading. Even if you can’t achieve “agi” (a barely defined term anyways) it doesn’t mean AI is a dead end.

It looks closer to the markdown style of formatting though, and I doubt it has page formatting, or other more advanced formatting, or extensions, or a large selection of fonts. Honestly, even though docs has pageless formatting now, most people don’t use it when they should, making everything unnecessary harder to read, so this will be better in that regard at least. This is probably good enough for 95% of what people use Docs for, but I wouldn’t call it a replacement.

I haven’t used it because I don’t have a French government account, so correct me if I’m wrong about any of that.

Edit: it looks like it only has 1 font and no page formatting

My mom is a biologist and complains how physicists always come into biology, try to reinvent everything without looking at any prior work, and then fail to execute their (sometimes interesting, sometimes not) method

I would honestly be very surprised if any Republican politicians actually care about sex or gender. I think they’re just evil and those are convenient issues to divide the working class. When you don’t have popular policy in real issues, you need to make up some fake ones to get people to still support you.

It’s hard to say. “Open core” means that most of the software is open source (licenses vary) but some features are locked behind a paywall. Gitlab takes this approach for example, also maybe onlyoffice.

Servo is another wip web browser, managed by the Linux foundation’s European branch. It’s a little less far along but is making relatively quick progress now. Apparently discord already mostly works, with sending messages currently being a problem.

There are some pretty corporate “open core” software companies tho, that’s a more grey area

Idk if the tech for 3d printers is really more complex. All of the parts are readily available, basically nothing needs to be specially made except the hot end (one single metal part)

The consumer experience for 2d printers worse IMO but that’s probably because I’m stuck on Windows with its terrible printing system

Oh probably

Yeah, but it does have 10^67 years to catch it.

Assuming the light isn’t bending at all, I think it should get about 890 watts of light, or 2.8x10^10 joules per year (or 3.1x10^-7 kg per year?) from the sun, which should be enough to cause it to grow, at least while the sun is still around. I expect it would get a lot more mass from gasses, meteors, and dust in that time frame. Based on your numbers above I think it should only be losing like 2x10^-40 kg per year if it was losing mass at a constant rate.

There’s only about 50 watts per square meter out that far from the sun! We get about 1300 here on Earth. Jupiter’s orbit is a lot larger compared to Earth’s than people normally think.

Does the energy of light entering the black hole make it last longer?

The black hole with the mass of the earth would have a diameter of around 4 cm

There’s also other things that people probably use more often, even if they don’t know it, like apache, nginx, or ffmpeg

Or, the Italian way: simmer garlic in a pan with olive oil, throw in the vegetables and a bit of water, throw in some salt, cover, cook until soft, check occasionally that it isn’t burning

A lot of people block political keywords and related communities, and most niche subs aren’t there

Hmm, I was not aware of that. I’ve seen (not Nvidia related) simulations with probably tens of thousands of rigidbodies running on relatively old midrange CPUs in real time, so it’s pretty crazy that it’s that slow.

Are there really any 32-bit era games that your CPU can’t handle, especially if you have a $1k+ gpu? This post is honestly pretty misleading as it implies modern versions of PhysX don’t work, when they actually do.

That being said, it doesn’t make all that much sense as a decision, doubles are rare in most GPU code anyways (as they are very slow), NVIDIA is just being lazy and doesn’t want to write the drivers for that

Well, at least you aren’t on mac where 32 bit things just don’t launch at all… (I think they might be playable through wine, but even in the x86 era MacOS didn’t natively run any 32 bit games or software, so games like Portal 2 or TF2 for example just didn’t work even though they had a MacOS version)
