Neither would an accurate representation of semiconductor design be. You'd just be doing tutorials for a design tool. If that's fun for you, those tools exist and you can fuck with them. They're just not games. The second G in /egg/ is every bit as important as the E. Kocklitpop is a p coo game.

TBF KOHCTPKTOP is a good representation of one half of IC design. Yes, in real life p-channel can only pull up whereas n-channel can only pull down, and both sides need to be complementary or else you get either floats or shorts, but matching up the halves isn't really fun. Not even real engineers bother with this; gate level synthesis is usually done by computers.

I thought you could make a "logic diode" pretty easily? Although if you have to use those you're fucking up somehow. I remember nets had to be 'one to one' or 'one to many' only, or you would wind up with a weird-ass logic backflow.

The issue isn't in how much a unit "costs", it's that the best units are simply too bullshit good. It doesn't matter how much a, say, Kobald "costs", one spawning is enough to assrape a path of cheese clear through you until you manage to chip it to death. By which time another is sure to have spawned.

Basing FP on RP cost would also mean that a highly decorated design that spends loads on looking better but not fighting better gets shafted. We WANT things that look good and we want FP to measure combat ability.

Right now, FP is mostly a measure of offensive ability because it's derived from the qualification test score and the QT ramps up in lethality VERY VERY quickly past a certain point.
Where it's lacking is that: A, the QT doesn't really test ability to hit things. B, the QT doesn't effectively assess defense past "exists". C, the fuzzy wuzzy fallacy is fucking things up because the KotLs are making flawed assumptions.

I have one spider in my toilet or, judging by the timespan of more than three years, it might as well be a lineage of them. The fuckers kept getting on my nerves, because for some reason the slit between the slipper and floor seemed like the most safe crevice to them.

What puzzled me always, is why were they hanging around there, since the only other life-forms ever noticed in the toilet are me and my rommate.

Then I've started seeing Spider3, the supposed grandson of spider1, fucking around in bathroom getting stuck in the think or basin or dish.
The dynasty of shit-eating spiders is probably over now, since I've once noticed a fucktard painfully reminiscent of spider3 being washed down the shower drainage.

not the guy you quoted.

It started idk how long ago because, to describe something as fun is not enough to describe a videogame experience.

imput lag or imput cache in fighting games, or the physics engine (see crysis meme, and replace graphics with physics)
Look at the spaceship physics in no mans sky, the are the exact same as tie fighter from DOS, so i cant enjoy it doing space travels in that shit, no real control of the movement, no spacedrifts, not even strafe like pic related, but some other dont care if the ship works like an acrobatic plane in space, they care that whatever other feature fills the "fun" factor.

TL;DR fun is a buzzword, never use it again in videogames, be more accurate.

Yes evidences are there but it's still called a "periodic table of elements" and not a "definitive table" for a reason too. Science is a work in progress and I would not exclude the AMT-1 scenario on the behalf of our so-called state of the art's empirical evidences. Although you're probably right in the case where a freaking unknown starship had to crash on Earth, we'd surely understand its material basics.

>electron clouds that interact in the same ways.
But anon that's the electron cloud model theory. Bohr's atomic model wasn't built in the same way so the results were - predictably enough - not the same.

From wiki:

"In the Bohr model, electrons were assigned to different shells. These shells explained the repeating patterns of chemical properties in the periodic table. Using quantum mechanics, chemists can use the electron cloud model to assign electrons to different atomic orbitals. These atomic orbitals are not all spheres. Atomic orbitals also explain the patterns in the periodic table."

So what if a new framework proposes a new way to understand atomic configurations someday ?
>>
>>144026015
>So what if a new framework proposes a new way to understand atomic configurations someday ?

Then we'll have a better understanding of exactly why things happen, but it doesn't change the fact that carbon is still going to mainly spend its time being tetravalent, silicon will still have a high affinity for oxygen and fluorine, diamond will still be the hardest metal known the man, etc, etc.

The structure of atoms are fairly simple
They have protons, which determine which element it is, electrons, which determine what charge it has, with a neutral charge it has the same number of electrons as protons, and the neutrons determine which isotope of the element it is
If you go left to right on the periodic table, you'll find the elements listed according to how many protons they have, starting at 1 with hydrogen and going up one by one for every single element on the table
It'd be one hell of a thing if they managed to create an element with something like 6 and a half protons or some shit

A lot of subatomic particles we've theorized about before we've ever actually been able to confirm their existence
We've known that the Higgs boson probably exists since the 60s, but it hasn't been until recently that we've managed to build a giant particle collider and point at the data it spits out and say "Yes, the Higgs boson exists, we found it right here"

I heard about some theory once where, once you get down small enough, everything is just something resembling the game of life
That is, everything's just a 3D grid with squares filled in or not filled in, and they all follow apparently very simple rules, but on larger scales they have more and more complex effects, like how in the game of life with the right rules and right arrangement of blocks you'll get something that's self-sustaining and keeps itself moving in one direction

Funny thing is: we don't know which of things we know is smallest one.
On quantum scale, our concept of length and related ones like size, trajectory, continuous movement and so on become inadequate.
You can slap those to protons and neutrons with some success, it is basically defined by distance on which short range interactions kicks in.

For example, the interaction of two protons is defined by electromagnetic forces for a huge range of distances, but if protons are set on collision course with very high speeds, they will be able co come close enough for the nuclear interaction to become stronger than electromagnetic one, and such collisions will have results (directions and speeds of protons after collisions) completely different from the ones conditioned by coulomb interaction.

For 'smaller' particles like electrons and neutrino, there's no strong or nuclear interaction, so it's difficult to have 'size' in the same sense. And for quarks of which protons and neutrons are made, the strong interaction manifests itself in ways more complex than just changing directions of particles.

And that's not mentioning purely engineering problems of observing such small scale processes and a world we live in.

If you use that sketchy russian facebook knockoff Im pretty sure you can play it right now. I forget its name.

But thats literally the only way to get it right now.

On their indieDB page and even that steam greenlight page is says the game is coming out on May.26th, but that was days ago. People are asking whats up and if it got delayed, but they are russian devs that hardly have any contact with anyone so people are just waiting.
