  • The finding is that some metals become harder while still heated against very fast deformations.

    At everyday speeds, metals deform — meaning they bend, stretch or dent — in ways that scientists understand well. Heat helps atoms move, making metals softer and easier to shape. But when deformation happens extremely fast — in millionths or billionths of a second — those same rules no longer apply.

    Hard to determine the direction the cellular simulation is going, but I’m assuming it’s top to bottom.

    That would make the rules (assuming light is alive)

    • One neighbor alive above or above-right, you live

    • All three neighbors above you are the same, you live

    • Otherwise you die (two live neighbors above or one live neighbor above-left)

    Generate a random row at the top, then determine the fate of cells on your at a time.

    EDIT:

    The only flaw I see in my logic so far is that the left most column would not be the same. Would only work if you had a hidden column on the left.





  • From other posts, it’s apparently just poor AVIF support on some device/app.

    Personally, I think it may be bad AVIF encoding based on who uploaded the image. I only see the glitched images from .world posts. That makes me think it’s some sort of combo of a particular user app and either the .world instance or other users’ instances caching the images. (For example, every image I see is actually rehosted on the lemmy.zip servers)



  • The only extra subscriptions I have are a VPN while I’m at school, a domain name for my portfolio, and one game that is the main place I interact with my friends. Also have a slightly larger Google drive until I can afford to make my own NAS.

    Honestly, I don’t see the need for much more. Costco is great if you live near one (they are one of the few decent companies left). Server hosting for games is another one I’ve done in the past.

    Adobe used to be manageable a decade ago, especially if you were sharing the cost. Same with Game Pass when it came out. Now the prices for both are absurd. Streaming has been replaced by the high seas.
