Is it feasible? Sure. The limit on this kind of calculation is basically how much detail do we need to add to the environment (i.e., can we make the model) and how high resolution does the sound wave need to be (can we calculate it given finite compute resources).
To get something that roughly sounds like a rock? Not difficult to model or calculate, if we make some reasonable assumptions.
The sound of a wet towel thrown in the water during a hailstorm? Uhhh that’s a tough one.
Simulating sound uses classical mechanics governed by the wave equation, which is well-understood. In terms of CPU power, the calculation to propagate a simple sound wave (wavelet) could probably have been done on a TI-89 calculator from high school.
It’s a Christmas present to him but even more of one for everybody else!
Paladin: It works because I just feel really strongly about it.
Oh yeah the hate speech is legal, it’s just the hanging of the sign on public property that isn’t.
“All those moments will be lost in time, like tears… in rain”
Lol definitely working as intended
Surprised to see wd not on this list
How about an app that makes calls, but you have to dial like you would with an old rotary phone.
If you make a mistake with the rotations it just connects you to a random one of your contacts.
Seems cool to me, and not too strong. The dual wielder feat for ex. gives 2d8 instead of 2d6 for the same cost, and gives +1 AC. If you add your str/dex to the damage this feat would probably be better.
As it is, I like it. Makes daggers more flavorful and adds an incentive to use them instead of going for the more optimal (boring) option.
I think law enforcement can break into your home if they have a court warrant, right? So why not allow the same thing with electronic communications?
For me, the reason to disallow it is the potential for abuse. There were 864 search warrant applications across all federal agencies in 2022. In 2020, the FBI, specifically, issued 11504 warrants to Google, specifically, for geofencing data, specifically. Across all agencies there are probably millions of such “warrants” for data.
It’s far easier to access your data than your house, so comparing physical and cybersecurity doesn’t really make sense.
In general, criminals can easily just move to an uncompromised platform to do illegal stuff. But giving the govt easy access to messaging data allows for all kinds of dystopic suppression for regular people.
Probably he’s still been saying that stuff but not enough ppl are left on Twitter to realize it
thank you EU!
Oh how sad, the direct consequences of one’s actions.
How does grouping multiple communities on different instances work? Do we need a special-purpose kind of community, like e.g. the meta-reddit functionality? Seems complicated but very needed atm
Sad about this one tbh. Didn’t really seem op in my pubs but maybe it was too good in the pro scene.
