A point particle? You mean that useful mathematical approximation for excitations in a field?

No, the actual point particle described by Bohmian mechanics.

I don't believe that theory incorporates gravity.

Neither does quantum field theory.

Dunno, I have a 15c limited edition (earlier run) and it's been great. My understanding is these are basically the same build as the modern 12c's

It certainly doesn't look like they've publicly released anything. My guess is they found a problem and have been following reasonable responsible disclosure guidelines. However, the 90 days (or whatever time limit was given) is likely expiring and to head off publication, flux.ai is getting lawyers involved.

This is all 100% speculation, just based on checking the archive sites and search sites historical data and finding nothing.


Yes, this tech has long been used to great effect for flight sims. It might seem odd if you've never used it, but it turns out it's very intuitive.

It was discovered and completely reimplemented independently without knowledge that Opentrack exists? That's the only thing I can figure. Except they actually mention TrackIR as that's the input method they are using.

The amount of current that can be pushed through a thin silicon die is just wild.

I think of that every time I watch my GPU hit 440W sustained power draw on a die that is ~23mm square.

Which comes out to be about 831kW per square meter and the cooling solution keeps it at 60-63C even under that load (while noticeably warming my office since it's effectively dumping the same as one bar on a two bar electric heater).

As a species, we got really good at engineering.


I know nothing about your GPU, but it's probably at around 1V core voltage, so this is hundreds of amps.

Not far off, stock under full load is 1.15V (1150mV).

You're them moving and storing a lot of repetitive instruction data.

They do! The command is, cross your eyes a little bit

That's the beauty of eye tracking. The two adjustments are orthogonal. You don't cross and uncross your eyes to adjust focus.

Might not be that bad for the environment but holy hell does it turn air quality to shit the next day.

I am not sure whether you talk about those fireworks for few minutes/hours or these quite common rocket explosions + EV fires...

Personally I don't even own a car, so don't go on me with some carbon emissions and polluting enviroment, 95% of year I use public transport (most of the time electric trams), only 1-2 a year a ride a car when visiting mother/father.


I've never been downwind of a rocket explosion or an EV fire, Fireworks are something that make me annoyed at the air quality degradation quite often.

1. once a year is quite often?

2. while on vacation last year I saw huge column of snooker and crazy sound only to find out two electric cars were burning at charging station right in next street, I was much more annoyed by fireworks I watch from window at midnight, if you don't want just keep your window closed which shouldn't be that much of a deal in freezing night in December/January


At least twice a year, it is a big deal on July 4th. And that's not counting numerous forest fires that were started by fireworks.

And I mean, the EV thing just seems like a manufactured concern anyway. Walking around I'm very happy when I walk near an EV and don't breathe in exhaust. EV fires are remarkable because that's the only time their presence causes lung problems, while gas vehicles cause lung problems under normal operation.


what about forest fires not started by fireworks? we have forest fires every year in summer and we do fireworks in Europe (as in most of the world) only on NYE, so great idea, we should ban forests, they support air polution by burning every year

gas vehicles with modern filters hardly produce any (lung) problems under normal operation
