  1. Is there a graph view that charts all GPU prices on one graph?

    If not I think the landing page should be just that with checkbox filters for all GPUs on the left that you can easily toggle all on/off to show/hide their line on the graph.

  2. I’ve got a stairwell outside my apt takes about 3 minutes to run up 10 flights. Try to do it once an hour never felt better.
  3. But you’d agree it’s still hiking even if I didn’t tan the leather for the boots myself.
  4. Is it hiking if I bought my boots on amazon?
  5. I’m just looking to make pizza not smelt the ore for the oven I’m going to cook it in.
  6. Should probably email this to the CEO of SO
  7. Curious if you could snap your finger and implement your app in a few other frameworks for comparison which ones you are curious to evaluate next.
  8. Was just thinking to myself how Player Piano has never been more appropriate than the AI age we’re in such a hurry to usher in.
  9. Gauntlet is definitely a genre ripe for this too. Good luck!
  10. Actually no when I asked I hadn't even made that obvious connection. I think main reason to avoid that is Wii motes had wrist slings, no doubt if you implemented phone gyroscopes it'd end with a social media post of someones damaged phone and tv.

    Reflecting on my time playing Wii the sports games were ok but nothing screams 'gotta have this' to me.

    If I could give one unsolicited piece of inspiration it'd be to watch this episode of Community: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOueERJzjrU

    There is definitely an awesome couch multiplayer game in there somewhere

  11. Curious if you've given any thought to whether or not you want to create clones of the usual Wii sports games or not or leave those squarely in Nintendo's court and find fun elsewhere?
  12. Don’t think it makes sense for Apple but would be cool to see them sell dumb TV screens to hook up to an Apple TV box.
  13. Yea agreed, by C I really meant 'low level'. If as an industry we had to support a language under Python, Rust is probably it.
  14. I'm really curious to see if Python will maintain this lead in the future or if all languages will catch up to the same level of accuracy.

    If not then I see the argument for everything being done in Python and performance coming from optimizing Python -> C.

  15. Given that Python tends to produce fewer hallucinations when generated by LLMs I wonder if former Django developers using AI tools are secretly having a blast right now.
  16. My complete layman’s theory is because it acts as an appetite suppressant and calories consumed is a strong indicator of cell turnover and aging.
  17. Yea actually it was a while ago I think ChatGPT actually pointed out I was low on magnesium from vit d + k2 requiring/depleting more than usual leading to the palpitations.

    Biggest takeaway is it’s easy to hit toxic levels when taking supplements so be careful.

  18. Careful with this I took vitamin d every day no problem for a year. Randomly started getting heart palpitations one week and was trying to figure out why. Got an Apple Watch to monitor for a fib. Was asking myself what changed in my life that it happened all of a sudden and realized I had started taking K2. ChatGPTs theory is that it really made the absorption of vit d effective and led to hypercalcemia.

    Stopped taking vit d and k2 it resolved after a week no problems almost a year later.

  19. Reminds me of ids policy of "As soon as you see a bug, you fix it"

    "...if you don't fix your bugs your new code will be built on buggy code and ensure an unstable foundation and if you check in buggy code someone else is going to be writing code based on your bad code and well you know you can imagine how wasteful that's going to be"

  20. Same. Executer mod chip?

    I remember at its peak renting 5 games at a time from blockbuster, copying them to my Xbox in the parking lot and dropping the DvDs in the return box to confused employees inside who had just rung me up.

    Dont think I played many of the games the real game was building the collection haha fond memories

  21. Out of curiosity what brand of gum did you choose? A few years back I had tried nicotine gum to see if it might encourage my sense of smell to improve, it’s been muted since Covid. It helped but the larger effect I noticed was one day in particular my word recall was phenomenal where usually I struggle and always grasping.
  22. I love Cursor.

    I’m greedy to ask but is there a better alternative? Hard for me to imagine. I tried Copilot was no where near as good.

  23. Won’t this just lead to these iconic voices becoming a commodity and being played everywhere and losing their value?

  25. I should have been more exact and said sentience vs sapience in animals vs humans.
  26. We have examples of non sentience everywhere already with animals. And then an example of sentience with humans. So if you diff our brains the difference lies within a module in our prefrontal cortex. It’s a black box of logic but I can ‘understand’ or be willing to accept that it’s owed to ‘just’ more grey matter adding the self awareness to the rest of the system.

    But to me the big mystery is how animals have sensation at all to begin with. What gives rise to that is a greater mystery to me personally.

    There are examples of people who have no ability to feel pain yet are still able to think. Now I wonder if they ever experience mental anguish.

  27. I’d say it’s possible to experience mental anguish/worry without the body participating. Solely a cognitive pain from consternation.
  28. What’s crazy to me is the mechanism of pleasure or pain. I can understand that with enough complexity we can give rise to sentience but what does it take to achieve sensation?
