I must be doing something incredibly wrong. I'm on an RTX 5090. I told it to make a 5 second 864x480 video, it's been running for over 30 minutes and is only 35% done in the SamplerCustomAdvanced step. EDIT: Oh, I'm an idiot

Yeah, maybe that's what was it. Tbh, while I bring up Project Highrise whenever someone mentions SimTower, I did always feel like it was missing something. Something always felt slightly soulless about Project Highrise.

Exactly. Having only a 100 mile range is plenty for your daily driving, but if you can't charge at home, it becomes very disruptive. Short range EVs typically only support J-1772 which only charges at up to 19.2 kW, and many cars only

At least for the early levels, the input and output nodes should start already laid out. I'd also like the ability to skip levels. I already know how gates and full adders work. It's just drudgery to get through them.

I wish I could be this blissfully naive. China is becoming an intellectual powerhouse in addition to a manufacturing powerhouse and runs huge spyware and propaganda campaigns. Read up about T95, MBOX, TVBOX, or other Android TV Boxes advert

And as much as I love Python, being able to multiple a string by an integer doesn't make sense when adding an integer to a string is a TypeError. Being able to repeat a string is fine, but it should be a str.repeat() function, not an

Video can be good if you stick to a garden path of simple scenes with tons of examples in the training material and not a ton of motion between overlapping objects in a scene, and don't really care too much about specifics. As soon a

Motion blur is great when done right, but most games do it wrong, so it gets a bad rap. The two sins are: 1. Blurring things that shouldn't be blurred. 2. Blurring too much. Racing games are notoriously guilty of #1. If you're in

I don't own AirPods and never will. I file them under "They sound amazing if you've never listened to headphones that actually sound amazing". The same category as Beats by Dre. And why would I ever want Spatial Audio?
