Im sorry, bottom reduction surgery was prohibited thanks to a sustained campaign by sir mix-a-lot

Im not one of em, Im ecstatic! I feel like im walkin on rainbows or somethin

I dunno why, but now Im really craving a good steak.

So was I. I am so very happy to be wrong. It seems like they mightve bought into their own hype again and thought theyd win?

Trying to discourage you from voting also counts as “influencing the outcome”

You sound like a sealion. Stop being a dick.

Its like money laundering, but for copyright

That sounds useful. Id like to find a good place that is for optimizing use of this shit (esp locally) while not going full “hey check out my slop project”, or people going “the ai are our gods / will cause an apocalypse”

I had one of those when I was making a nintendo ds game and trying to get animated sprites working. I got one working great. Then i added a 2nd, figuring itd be simple. Nope. Instant crash. So i removed the 2nd sprite. Crash. Wtf??? So i cleaned the project and built again and it worked. Until i added a 2nd one and had to remove it and clean it again.

Once i looked into the code(issue with ptrs), i had NO EARTHLY IDEA why the first sprite worked at all!

They said 50- i looked up strata, and it uses smaller quantizations/optimizations of that model depending on your system.

I have 48g vram and 192g system ram and get ~15t/s on qwen 3.8 flash next at Q4. Off the top of my head. I think Q6 is 12.

But making them depends on knowledge people didnt have. Like the existence of a vacuum

Pissing in your suit on the moon still counts as pissing on the moon

According to the wiki, he made an airship- thats lighter than air

And they won, because the patent covered any construction for adjusting the wing to achieve lateral roll control.

At least 3 years later, and the 14-bis wasnt controllable.

There was a good video i saw-unfortunately dont know who by- that talked about the romans inventing the steam engine. After all, the greeks had the aleopile. But there was SUCH a vast shotcoming in terms of knowledge about physics and the world that it wouldnt have happened. Stuff that even a child knows today they had no idea.

That was otto von lilienthal. And he died doing that. He had no way to steer the wing(other than shifting body weight), and his tables of lift were full of errors.(according to the wrights, who had to make a tiny wind chamber to do their own experiments)

Sure it mightve been done shortly thereafter. but even france, who had assumed the wrights were a hoax, didnt accomplish anything STEERABLE even many years after.

The other major US competitor was Langley, and his Aerodrome wasnt even close.

This video from gregs airplanes goes into a lot of detail and i thought it was fascinating.

Who tried flying using their technology without paying them. As they shouldve, because they invented it, and everyone was trying to get out of paying.

Its not like they bought the patent and did no work,they risked dying testing it.

Um. Maybe if youre drunk and/or high.
