  • Do you mean easing for animations and such?

    typically you just create a function with respect to t, time, and then you can constrain it. It’s usually between zero and 1, but spring animations tend to exceed one.

    Bézier curves would be the most famous and widely used, since they can be computed quickly, and your control points allow for simple decision if the curves, and they’re différentiable so they can be guaranteed to behave smite me in the mathematical sense.


  • Yes, we’ve proven that pi is an irrational number and therefore has infinitely many digits.

    if you picked one digit as the “last” one to start with, then you could express it as an integer faction and it wouldn’t be irrational. So that can’t happen.

    You can express pi in irrational bases like base pi or tau, and then you have a finite number of digits (1), but that’s just putting a trench coat on top of pi and pretending it’s finite length so you can get into the movies. I don’t even know what you’d call those digits. But they wouldn’t let pi into the airport or courthouse like that.









  • That’s unfortunate.

    I think Framework did a great job with this, but after owning it since August I wouldn’t recommend it. It’s actually been an incredibly frustrating experience for me from first boot.

    I bought this to do self hosting and AI stuff, but currently PyTorch and ONNX do not work. AMD’s software stack is completely fucked. I don’t know if they pay kyuz0 money, but he’s the only person on this planet who seems to be able to make it do anything.

    My biggest criticisms are:

    • Thunderbolt display support sucks, but I think this is linux issue. I’ve hacked it to work, but it’s janky.
    • As mentioned, the AMD driver stack is trash. I honestly don’t know how there isn’t a class action for false advertising. I have tried every permutation of instructions on their website, I’ve tried TheRock, it’s all just been a waste of dozens of hours.
    • The HDMI port doesn’t do CEC, which by all accounts it should, but the HDMI consortium are blocking it I guess. I’d take a closed source patch at this point.

    And again, absolutely none of this is Framework’s fault, I’ll never buy an AMD device again.
