I have to do similar things when it comes to ‘raytracing’. It meant one thing, and then a company comes along and calls something sorta similar the same thing, then everyone has these ideas of what it should be vs. what it actually is doing. Then later, a better version comes out that nearly matches the original term, but there’s already a negative hype because it launched half baked and misnamed. Now they have to name the original thing something new new to market it because they destroyed the original name with a bad label and half baked product.

That or build something that can stand up to being hit. Tall order, but the inner armchair engineer in me thinks it’s like, totally possible.

Would creating the cyber truck be considered as a suicide attempt?

Generally speaking, you learn more about how something works when the core functionality is exposed to the user, and just janky enough to require fiddling with it and fixing things.

This is true of lots of things like cars, drones, 3D printers, and computers. If you get a really nice one, it just works and you don’t have to figure anything out. A cheap one, or something you have to build yourself, makes you have to learn how it actually works to get it to run right.

Now that things are so comodified and simplified, they just work and really discourage tinkering, so people learn less about core functionality and how things actually work. Not always true, but a trend I’ve experienced.

39 here and still playing. The worst part is STILL having a huge backlog of steam games to work through.

I’d be watching a car accident compilation and a Buick starts trying to tell me to ask my doctor about Cymbalta. You know… I might actually watch that.

Yes, but then ONE person is going to blow it on something stupid, post it online, and be the example for the justification for the entire program to be shut down.

Pluto, obviously.

I vaguely recall that as one of the explanations for why they have not found all the wrecks in the triangle- the sea floor there is underwater quicksand

Nah, long enough car trips you figure out how to not only stack all the rings, but in correct rainbow order.

“Easter is the day Jesus rose”

…then it should be a set date. It is not.

“Raises just aren’t in the budget”. Yeah, because the guys at the top took it all.

We put the charging port underneath the car!

Could we have a future where we have an arm main CPU, gaming GPU, and also an x86 card?
