I'm still waiting for the AMD implementation of hardware real time raytracing. I don't trust Nvidia anymore concerning hardware quality, and the price is just ridiculous.

Thanks to that post I discovered after a short research that I share a lot with Wittgenstein personality-wise. I'm not sure if it's a good or a bad sign. Never heard about him before.

This demo doesn't include shaders, it's mostly just polygons and textures and lightmaps. It was the shaders which made the game impressive back then. However, for a port to WebAssembly it's really a big deal.

Hmm, well, it depends on where your knowledge base is :) Studying electrical engineering wouldn't hurt. (not complete, but it's a start!) Basics: Math: Complex Numbers, Integration Physics: Wave Mechanics, Oscillators, Energy, Imp

In principle it's about how to build a custom HF SA. I'm sure you'll find better components for less money, or even use SDR, but good HF/microwave spectrum analysis until today relies on analog circuitry. It's amazi

It depends on how many excited elements are present that emit UV light. In general arc light is very dangerous to skin from close proximity due to very intense UV radiation per square inch. From afar it could still be dangerous to your eyes

Excited copper ions inside the discharge plasma emitting blue->UV light, sounds plausible to me.

While it's true that a dumped car battery would at least raise interest or even suspicion, a buried one is significantly harder to stumble upon, however suspicion is still optional. Who is going to open a potentially highly acidic&#x

Thanks for sharing, cryptomuseum.com on itself is quite interesting. A question though: how is humidity handled in modern electronics? Is there any sacrificial used on mainboards, or is there any design pattern used on PCBs in general to ac

Absolutely! Let Linux desktops gather tons of data and then sell it! Sarcasm out.

The title is not just click-bait, it's flat-out wrong. Instead of failing it's become even more successful over the years, because of the efforts of thousands of maintainers and developers. The recent support/endorsement from

I cannot really understand Facebook's concerns over the press ganging them up. Zuckerberg doesn't talk, or is lying through his teeth, or through Sandberg's, so people find other ways to get into Facebook's internal affa

Whoever is still investing in Facebook are complicit in aiding criminal activity, e.g. aiding unfair competition.

How ironic. But, kudos to the responsible decision makers. It's a shame though that they haven't decided to make a modern and decent engine that works at least as reliable as FF or Chrome(ium), Edge always felt like a recycled ver

That's exactly my point. Apparently Amazon is being spammend all over HN. What the heck?!

Is there any instance in science that keeps track of citation lineage of a theory or experimental results? It is an interesting question.

Here's a follow-up on why Mandacena could be wrong, and his work is not the only one: "The problem here is that of what is an “interesting region of theory space”. At this point the failures of string theory unification strongly i

You actually support my argument in the way that he's established himself as the teaching authority to the community. But imagine him being wrong and all of the people's work who cited his is wrong. All that knowledge and insi

Yes, I understand that. But if a fool buys a broken tool and builds his home with it, how long do you think this fool's home will last?

No, of course those are completely different things. The number still doesn't say whether his work is right or wrong. You can cite the Bible up and down and it still doesn't make it anywhere near plausible. As far as I know, Juan

If the number of citations is a measurement for achievement then perhaps we should put more value to the Like buttons we so frequently use. But, I'm sure he's good in what he does since so many people agree on his thoughts.

Don't use that. Don't use 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8 or any other DNS service which have clear conflicts of interest on both sides. Don't ever trust DNS servers you don't have any control over.

But talking to people in person about their emotions and feelings is important! It's very hard, I agree, but it's a necesserary thing dealing with issues. You have to speak out things, to actually voice them. Whence you are conf

An interesting question. Why would it seem awkward though? I have mannerism that always did seem different to others which didn't bother me much, even when I was being bullied for that. Why am I different, just because I refuse to mo
