Lolol fucking awesome

Didn’t even realize it was still a functioning company or platform. TIL

Unfortunately, that’s how you get there. Lying and harming people.

They’ll keep the talent they want, and fire everyone else. “Talent Acquisition”.

I seriously doubt these could be mass-produced in any meaningful way due to the rarity of the requirements. I’d love to hear a more practical argument for this though.

“2D” fab isn’t new, and correct me if I’m wrong, that is sort of how AMD got its start. It’s just the idea of fixing heat dissipation to solve for Moore’s Law, but requires novel materials that didn’t exist yet. This has cropped up in various forms for metal and silicon dynamic replacements over the decades, and I think the last big news I heard about this was 10 years ago regarding graphene being a cheap and plentiful replacement for silicon, and here we are with no proofs of concept.

It’s a paper I guess, but not anything that has the feasibility of showing up in the real world. If anything, I think these labs are working on shrinking quantum computational units down to be more useful for everyday computing, since they kind of already “work”.

Edit: also some recent news about transistor heat dissipation.

Well, depends on the other factors at play, but I had the original running on a low-end Athlon, and a GeForce 870m with only 2GB vram at the time on an old school HDD and it was stellar.

I’ll wait until they hammer out the graphics and performance issues. The original ran great on mediocre hardware, but this one won’t get above 15fps on the Deck right now.

Agreed. It seems to be very polarized.

Underappreciated for sure, but to be fair, it’s super repetitive. If they’d added a secondary component or loop where you could black market trade or participate in the economy of the game some how to drown out the monotony of breaking the same ships over and over, I’d have played it more.

They are overwhelmingly Android, globally. This is some status thing for Americans it seems.
