I live in a house that used to belong to one of Julia Child’s best friends. She was here a lot- it was the test kitchen for a cooking magazine; her friend was editor. Sometimes, and I mean this as a physicist and atheist, I can feel her when I cook; she holds me to a standard. ❤️
It made me cry to type that. Not sure why.
She signed the wall, they framed it. I’ll bet she loved that. I’m not sure why I’m posting this now, but look, doing things well matters. The legacy of those who got us where we are matters. It fucking matters. I think that’s the point. Love to you all. 👊❤️
She helps me do this. /end

Are we in the last generation of game consoles? Is local compute dead?

Many used to say that downloadable games would never dominate, and many currently say that streaming will never, either.

But then again, many used to say that leeches cured cancer.
I for one love local compute. But I am a dinosaur. I like to play games even when there’s (gasp) spotty internet.
(Nota Bene: if you try to bring blockchain into this, I reserve the right to mock you mercilessly)

My approximately spherical protobaguettes are expanding at 2.07±0.11 cm/h which to an observer yeast cell in the center looks like 1.035±0.05cm/h representing a redshift of 9.59x10^(-15) … if she could see the surface. One needed calculation is c inside bread dough.
Yes I used calipers to take these data and yes the error is calculated.
One Interesting Thought is that our yeast cosmodoughlogist would notice non-uniform expansion because of the local gravitational field, and lots of other noise due to varying dough density and nutrients, temperature variation, and cerera. Also…
