The other issue is enforcement. If somebody releases a weights table on the web publicly, by the time the government can review it thousands of people could of seen it and saved a copy of it. You can track down the first person and say take it down but you can’t track down everyone. It’s like the dvd encryption number from the early 2000s. Why waste the resources?

He didn’t do any of that. Just typecast the numbers to be doubles.

The whole benchmark was a mess but that part specifically surprised me.

Holy fuck those prices… I know prices went up but I figured like $2500, maybe $3000 but over $5000???

There is a video where a real game dev was showing how bad a specific benchmark was. It was basically read arguments, get a random number, do a for loop 10,000 times, inside there do another for loop 10,000 times, do some equation with a modulo, put result in array, pick a number from array and print to screen.

The biggest time cost was the modulo as that’s the hot path. He basically went through and typecast all the ints to double. He got 4x the speed. It went from almost 2 seconds to less than 0.5 second just on that change. This is mostly due to cpu and compiler now using simd instructions.

Small changes can have big impacts.

Wait current tvs don’t have a channel knob?

Which is worse? Coaxials or Co workers?

If they really cared about you, shouldn’t they already know your problems?

For a long time all systems which deal with timezone data (like ability to convert utc to est for example) was reliant on 1 server in 1 random guy’s basement which he paid for himself. I heard they were working to correct this situation but haven’t been following it.

I had a nes and that switched between 3 to 4. My next console was n64 which had the 3 wires you see in the original post

I’ve watched too much Futurama because I first read that as “circuits gone wild”… But it sucks that your family threw away your collection.

Or certain magazines would include a free disk/cd

But then you need to buy so many sewing kits

No, I just regularly abuse my body and the damage is building up

If I am making butterscotch should I also pour in some scotch?

Yeah but I had a knock off brans

Only once? That’s not normal?

Just be happy you don’t have to move the rabbit ears around till I get a good image

Really? Interesting. We’re there other places or other channels like that? Like if you were in England or India did they do channel 3, channel 4, or something totally different?

I’m really tempted to ban you…

But seriously we can all have opinions. If you ever happen to be given these though let me know and I’ll send you an address to ship them to

I remember the coax cable but did not know about channel 3 being local communication. I thought it was just convention.

Thanks for teaching me.
