We will have to accept AIs are here to stay. Since putting wheels on grandama is the only way we can get a bike.

OP doesn’t need to hear this. OP’s a highly trained professional.

“Hey, I’ve seen this one before. It’s a classic.”

What, you didn’t know you had to crank the power to high before microwaving your phone? Rookie mistake

Damn…I’ve been discovered

🤢

I once installed Bazzite on my PC. I am an sway user/addict. So thought about installing sway on Bazzite.

Below is my journey

Let me try to download and compile it.

Downloaded but it won’t compile.

The libraries/dependancies are not installed. Here, try installing the packages via brew.

Nope, some of them are available and some are not on Brew.

Now what do I do? Okay, there is something called distrobox where I can install whatever I want.

Looks like I have to learn distrobox. Wait, sway is not a simple application, it’s a full blown window manager. Even if it compiles, will it work?

Most of the people online (Discord) told me the process won’t be very pretty.

Do I want to invest another week experimenting with distrobox?

Nope, installed Nobara the next day and I’m happy.

Disclaimer: Bazzite is a fantastic distro and it’s powering my RoG Ally. Atomic distros are fantastic for the niche they fill.

Development, I’m not sure about

This has been done by Github several times. But thankfully, all major distros are not primarily hosted by Github.

However, I am unsure how powerful sanctions are on distros if the US becomes relentless.

I had a brain fart. I completely forgot that Canonical is British.

I’m afraid a federated micro-blogging website using ActivityPub doesn’t/can’t exist ;_;

Doesn’t matter at this point. He’ll pay Trump another 1 million dollars and this news will simply vanish.

That’s gonna be a no from me, dawg

tl;dr for others

A: “I have an Pink Unicorn inside the trunk of my car. It vanishes the moment you try to open the trunk or look at it.”

B: “What? That’s absurd”

A: “I know it exists. It’s up to you to disprove it”

B: “But there is no way one can capture/observe/understand it with any sort of scientific instrument”

A: “Don’t care. Skill issue”

I see you have read Dr. Toshio Bukkake’s paper. Didn’t expect to find a fellow man of culture over here.

Amidala kind of ruins the experience a bit

Thanks for this. Got a burst of nostalgia

but I’ve accepted defeat in trying to understand it

I may have shared the link but even I don’t know how it how it works.

It’s like admiring the Eiffel Tower; you can understand that it’s a marvel of engineering without understanding the underlying engineering concepts. Such experiences are rare but they truly humble you.

Regarding the square root, understand the following concepts

1. Bit shifting simply shift the bits to a certain side (Left or right) => 0010 << 1 → 0100
2. Mathematically, it multiplies or divides the input number with a factor of 2, depending upon the type of shift
3. If you shift the number n with a nice shift amount x (I have greatly greatly over-simplified this), then you can calculate the inverse sq. root since inverse square root is 2^(-1/2)
4. Calculating the inverse square root manually will take lots of clock cycles, which was not feasible for a FPS game with the limited h/w
5. Bit shifting is a lot faster since we are not computing, but instead shifting

The resultant shifting gives us an answer which is close enough to the answer, and that is good enough for FPS games for calculation of reflections.
