Dropout.tv

Tons of amazing original content, and very cheap.

Ok but something that's really bothered me about A Quiet Place (besides the writing being god awful).

When she's giving birth in the bathtub, the lights start flickering. They provide no explanation for why the lights are flickering. It's legit just a scary movie trope in-action.

He melts down to just his bill which floats next to the ring and mutters “you’re despicable.”

Also enjoying that we have a method for reducing concussions by half, but it isn’t mandatory in games why?

Heh, I guess I should have phrased that differently.

But yeah, it's actually really courteous. Sometimes a little too much. It'll move over to the left side of the lane if it sees a cyclist or pedestrian on the shoulder to the right. Unfortunately, it doesn't understand when there's a 3 ft concrete barrier between me and the pedestrian and will do it anyway. Makes some narrow bridge crossings a little scarier than necessary.

The first Model X has Autopilot 1 which was a system designed by Mobileye. Tesla's relationship with Mobileye fell apart and they replaced it with an Nvidia based system in 2017(?). It was really really bad at the start as they were essentially starting from scratch. This system also used 8 cameras instead of the original 1.

Then Tesla released AP hardware 3 which was a custom-built silicon chip designed specifically for self-driving which also enabled proper navigation of surface streets in addition to the just highway lanekeeping offered in AP1. This broadened scope of actually dealing with turns and traffic from multiple angles is probably where the reputation of it being dangerous has come from.

My HW3 enabled Model 3 does make mistakes, though it's rarely anything like hitting a pedestrian or running off the road. Most of my issues are with navigational errors. If the GPS gets messed up in the tunnel, it'll suddenly decide to take an exit that it isn't supposed to, or it'll get in the left lane to pass someone 1/4 mile from a right-exit.

Yes, but you still need to install the cores developed by the community in order to play ROMs.

The necessary core for ROMs was released barely a day after OpenFPGA support was, but it wasn’t released by Analogue.

The console doesn't officially support ROMs. It must run games off the original hardware carts.

However, there's a fairly simple hack to get ROMs to play on the SD card slot of the Analogue Pocket that many suspect was unofficially developed by Analogue themselves.

Guess the Duracell rep lied to us. Sorry.

~~Fun Fact: batteries only do this when they're over-discharged. If you design your circuit right, this won't happen.~~

Yeah, I was fully expecting this thing to be like $400.
