Oh hey good to know! I think I have decided to run in a dedicated account locally.
Never mind, did some more reading and answered my own question. :)
@timkellogg.me I have a strix question! Is there an obvious reason not to run open-strix on a home desktop machine as opposed to a cheap VPS?
Astronaut gun meme: Wait, it's all proxies and heuristics? Close enough
And the headline! Such perfect deployment of headline voice, right up there with It Only Tuesday
I had never read this, holy shit.
There’d be nothing left.
star dude valley
son of a bitch, I want one
Okay I gotta know, how did you make this
A kitchen counter with a cursed square waffle and cursed waffle iron on it with that “optimally packed 17 squares” layout that is deeply unsettling to look at. The outer parts are aligned to a square but there are 7 squares in the middle at various angles and it looks like complete nonsense but it is in fact the most compact way to store 17 squares in a larger square. I have no idea where this came from and whoever made it should go to jail.
You may not like it, but this is the optimal way to construct a waffle with exactly 17 squares.
ooh that’s a pretty good idea
it is a bit
lol. lmao
yes...YES!!!!!
While I’m on an Opus Magnum kick, this is the kind of blog post that ensures blogs will never die. biggieblog.com/surrendering...
The WORST
Some personal news: My ass is in the jackpot now :(
Having watched Ponyo dozens of times now thanks to the boy being absolutely enamored of her, I do feel confident that the sequence where she busts out is one of the all-time great achievements of animation
Right?! Such an un-hoped-for blessing!
In other personal news, I finally came up with a solution to one (1) of the Opus Magnum bonus puzzles. The bonus content has always been way too hard for me but I finally got there.
I have SEVERAL technical questions. Not least of which is if they’re “little” models they’re going to be much worse at exactly the kinds of things they’d specifically need to be good at for this.
oh boy. Never thought to put it that way but yeah
9 years!!!!
Opus Magnum is a great game that makes you feel like Salieri from Amadeus.
You make your solve, go to reddit and you see the face of god in the maddeningly elegant solves of your betters.
haha wait there were some extraneous instructions in that last one...managed to get it down to 129 cycles from 141 with the same layout. Still well within the comfortable middle of the performance histogram though...
aaaah its ya boy.... still mediocre as always.....!!
with only marginal improvement.....
getting my shape-rotating skills warmed up for the immanent Opus Magnum DLC....three solutions to the same puzzle...
