Made a lava lamp shader for Unity. It's not a real simulation, just an artistic effect using clever tricks to fake the lighting and a "temperature" property for the blobs to make them rise when they get to the bottom and fall after they "cool down" at the top.

Humans in real life don't have "HP"

[Rock Solid @ShitpostRock]

You can tell the developers of a game have no idea how guns work whey they do shit like this:

@crowlabstech @eulerianham You can have the same line of best fit with different correlations. The scatter-plot shown indicates almost no correlation.

@cmuratori But copyright doesn't apply to the labor market. It doesn't protect an artist's job or even an artist's style, nor should it.

This is a labor issue, not a copyright issue.

[Christopher Gallegos @Chrispykins]

@cmuratori If the market for the original work is affected, it's very difficult to claim fair use.

But the works themselves are mostly unaffected, because the images produced by AI look like completely new works. What's affected is the artists themselves in the labor market.

@SpidfireX @Acerola__t I think you're the one that needs to learn about the history of these ideas and what people actually mean when they say "neoliberalism".

Here's a good place to start:

@Aella_Girl The people who live in the housing

[Gergely Orosz @GergelyOrosz]

People outside tech starting to realize how quality software and typing/generating code fast are not correlated

[Christopher Gallegos @Chrispykins]

variable = changed at runtime
constant = set at runtime then doesn't change
static = set at compile time then doesn't change

anything else is a mental illness

[Тsфdiиg @tsoding]

You guys do realize how schizophrenic "immutable variable" sounds like?

@insanemansays @wanyeburkett @ChoppedStand @dyingscribe dissolving political bands = independence

powers of the earth = world's other powers

separate but equal station = sovereign equals

None of those are made up, they are rephrasing things directly in the text.

Come on guys, what are we doing here?
Just express the plane as a function of x and y...

[Christopher Gallegos @Chrispykins]

One side-quest on this journey was finding this funny little function in the source code which projects a point along the z-axis onto the objects xy-plane

The best way to do this is obviously... a raycast😂
But make sure you do two because the plane could be behind the point too

Spent the last few days banging my head against the seemingly simple problem of trying to replicate Unity's gizmo for their CapsuleCollider2D.

Would not recommend to anyone who values their sanity.

@SmitShah420 @getjonwithit @nntaleb The computers are getting faster regardless of it you buy them. If you buy 10% faster computers each year, you end up with ~20% increase after two years.

If you improve your algorithm the first year and buy the latest computers the next year you get ~25% for the same cost.

@SleepyStufful ...then either the widths or the heights won't be constant throughout the grid. In the diagram, I made A less likely when B is true, so the width of A gets smaller in the B section.

To calculate the area, you need that width from the B section, which is written P(A|B).

[Christopher Gallegos @Chrispykins]

@SleepyStufful When doing an "and" operation, you take the intersection of areas, which is best visualized with a grid.

Because the areas are rectangles, you can compute the area just using length × width. That's why P(A and B) = P(A)×P(B), but if the events can affect one another... (Cont'd)

[Christopher Gallegos @Chrispykins]

@SleepyStufful And I can explain the diagrams if you need. It's not like they are 100% clear.

[Christopher Gallegos @Chrispykins]

@SleepyStufful Everyone is responding with logical fallacies so I thought I might help with the probability rules. I find a picture is often easiest to remember, so these are the diagrams I have in my head to memorize these formulas.

[Christopher Gallegos @Chrispykins]

@Acerola__t Some people really just post whatever comes into their head, huh?

No filter.
