It’s not just PlayStation, the game is fun but repetitive enough it gets old kinda quickly.

I’m genuinely impressed at the effort the bike thing must have taken

The Necrobinder looks really interesting! You can summon a minion! Maybe more!

We’ll just have to see what explanation they give. Did she get herself mutated eventually? Are the potions diluted/weaker? (I remember a quest where Geralt feeds a normal human a small dose of one of his potions.)

Would it be more interesting to have a Ciri that specifically doesn’t have most of the Witcher powers? Maybe, but I can understand them wanting to keep most of the gameplay staples. It looks like they are trying to keep most of Geralt’s moves and then adding some new ones.

Whatever happens, it should be interesting! I think what I’m most excited about is Ciri has a different morality and worldview - I’m excited to see how that ends up affecting the writing.

Of course I’m not taking it for granted it will be good, but I am hopeful.

I would filter by 1 chicken just to see what comes up

The issue is it’s not a copyright on the ball, it’s a patent on aiming to summon a creature.

I’ve played through all of Alyx and I don’t remember seeing this popup. My GPU has 24GB of VRAM.

Season 3 of a show that wasn’t originally planned to be 3+ seasons is usually around where it starts to drop off. There are exceptions, but I’ve seen several shows where S1 is fantastic, S2 is good, S3 is okay at best, and S4+ is utter trash.

The whole “parallel computations” thing is really largely an oversimplification.

The “multiple universes” thing is the “many worlds theory of quantum mechanics” which is just one philosophical interpretation of statistics.

But also having a system that’s hard to simulate is kinda useless as a benchmark. I once attended a quantum computing talk where the speaker said “I can show you a large quantum system that is impossible to simulate classically” and they held up a rock “This rock is a quantum system that’s too big for us to simulate. It doesn’t do anything useful, but we can’t simulate it!”

Bananas genuinely are more radioactive than most other foods due to their high potassium content and the relatively high frequency of radioactive isotopes of potassium.

Unions typically have an agreement where employees don’t have to join the union but they still have to pay a fee equivalent to union dues, and the employer can’t pay non-members more than union members, or other similar restrictions.

The idea is to remove the ability for the employer to offer an advantage to non-members.

TLDR it’s an essential part of making a functional union.

Imagine firefighters having to ask some insurance company to cover the water they need to put your house out.

It literally used to be like that. Firefighters would refuse to put out the fire if you didn’t have evidence that your fire insurance covered them.

All that post and you didn’t include that many US states have “Romeo and Juliet” laws, which the UK does as well, and which Dubai evidently doesn’t.

The differing laws between countries is the point here.

Literally just build a normal PC but use one of these big hear sinks instead of a fan: https://graphicscardhub.com/passive-cpu-cooler/

Didn’t work for me :/

Verizon is annoying but at least they aren’t Comcast. Also if they offer Fios you can get service that’s 10-100x faster, especially if you have a need for upload speeds.

Why do we humans even think we need to solve these extravagantly over-complicated formulas in the first place? Shit, we’re in a world today where kids are forgetting how to spell and do basic math on their own, no thanks to modern technology.

lol.

All of modern technology boils down to math. Curing diseases, building our buildings, roads, cars, even how we do farming these days is all heavily driven by science and math.

Sure, some of modern technology has made people lazy or had other negative impacts, but it’s not a serious argument to say continuing math and science research in general is worthless.

Specifically relating to quantum computing, the first real problems to be solved by quantum computers are likely to be chemistry simulations which can have impact in discovering new medicines or new industrial processes.
