What demos did you play today? | DAY 3
  • I've been playing Heart of the Machine, and really enjoying it. It's a fascinating 4x ish in a future city, in a bit of an inversion of AI Wars (same developer). Before playing, I was merely intrigued, but now I'm excitedly awaiting where it goes. It was, however, initially difficult to figure out what to do. Perhaps more UX is going to be useful here.

  • Removed
    Foundry Factory Builder Game
  • I've been really enjoying it, even in its limited state. Jetpacks are a total game changer, and I love that the fuel lasts a long time. There's still a few obvious QoL additions needed, especially with stuff like the cargo ships (gotta type the name in?!), but otherwise it's got a really strong foundation. Also, elevators are amazing; just realized last night that one cam connect wire to the cab. Really excited to see how the game develops in the future (traaaaaains).

  • These racing game players are 11 days into an exhausting race to climb a deadly tower
  • I don't play Trackmania at all, but it's been really fun to watch the daily edits that Wirtual's YouTube has been making for the live streams. Watching someone's heart rate shoot up ~40 bpm just after making a butt clenching jump is vicariously entertaining in the max. His video on Deep Dip 1 was also fantastic.

  • Professional Scientists of Lemmy: What is your field of study's, most complex unanswered question?
  • For the purposes of OPs problem (P v NP), it considers not particular solutions, but general algorithmic approaches. Thus, we consider things as either Hard (exponential time, by size of input), or Easy (only polynomial time, by size of input).

    A number of important problems fall into this general class of Hard problems: Sudoku, Traveling Salesman, Bin Packing, etc. These all have initial setups where solving them takes exponential time.

    On the other hand, as an example of an easy problem, consider sorting a list of numbers. It's really easy to determine if a lost is sorted, and it's always relatively fast/easy to sort the list, no matter what setup it had initially.

  • The Researcher
  • I think you may be conflating something with the story of Perelman, who solved the Poincare conjecture (with its 1 million dollar prize), rejected the prize and basically told the math world to stuff it: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grigori_Perelman

  • Yep. Sounds like Florida.
  • While the orb weavers and Argiope spiders are certainly a shock, it's really the Brown Huntsman spiders (American version of the classic Clock Spider) that can instill that fight or flight response when they run at'chya. I love spiders to death and always enjoy saving them from my house, but the first time I saw one of those guys in my apartment, my legs absolutely turned to jello.

  • Wow, I know I'm late to the party, but Andor is literally what I've always wanted from Star Wars.
  • I really love that Andy Serkis delivers an absolutely fantastic monologue in episode 10, and it's only the runner up for best monologue of the episode. To be fair, I think the Sacrifice speech had some of the best writing I've seen; it's definitely in my GOAT list.

  • Which programming languages do you know?
  • Coincidentally, I do work on embedded devices, but as mentioned by ferret, most embedded stuff nowadays is (I think?) an Arm variant. Most all of the device code I write is C++ though; no need to get into assembly land unless clang screws something up, but that hasn't happened yet thankfully. That said, in the future, this may change as we optimize certain imaging algorithms further.
