  • What is a four dimensional cube?

    2 three dimensional cubes, A and B, and each corner in A is connected by a new edge to it’s equivalent corner in B. This is also called a tesseract.

    What is a two dimensional cube?

    A square.

    In general, if you have an n-dimensional cube, you can get an n+1 dimensional cube by doubling it, and connecting each corner with it’s equivalent corner.

    A 0-dimensional cube is just a single dot.

    A 1-dimensional cube is a two dots, connected by a line.

    A 2-dimensional cube is 2 lines, connected. Also called a square.

    A 3-dimensional cube is 2 squares, connected. Also called, well, a cube.

    A 4-dimensional cube is 2 cubes, connected. Also called a tesseract.

    A 5-dimensional cube is 2 tesseracts, connected.

    In general, this is called the n-dimensional hypercube.

    And continuing this, each edge on an n-dimensional cube will, together with its copy and the two edges connecting it to its copy, form another face on the n+1 dimensional cube. This new face will border exactly one face on the original cube, and one face on the copy. It’s also bordered by two other connecting faces.

    So, basically, if I start out on a face on the original cube, I can walk onto a connecting face, and then walk around all four connecting faces, and walk to the copy face. From there, I walk to another copy face, over the four connecting faces, and then back to the original cube. This way I should be able to continue going back and fourth between the cube and the copy, always walking across all the connecting faces.

    I got a rubics cube here, with sides white, red, blue, orange, green, and yellow. For each of these faces, there exist 5 additional ones on the tesseract. For white: white, white_copy, and white_c1 to white_c4.

    The solution is white, white_c1, white_c2, white_c3, white_c4, white_copy, red_copy, red_c1, red_c2, red_c3, red_c4, red, green, green_c1, green_c2, green_c3, green_c4, green_copy, orange_copy, orange_c1, orange_c2, orange_c3, orange_c4, orange, blue, blue_c1, blue_c2, blue_c3, blue_c4, blue_copy, yellow_copy, yellow_c1, yellow_c2, yellow_c3, yellow_c5, yellow.






  • The nazis’ economy was a shell game of debt, and they were overextended militarily. Their regime would have fallen even if they had won the war. Secondly, the USSR at first joined forces with the nazis until they were betrayed by them, and after the soviets joined the allies, they received massive aid under the lend-lease act. And even with the aid, they still had to rely on human-wave tactics.





  • The democrats don’t prosecute their political opponents, because that would be weaponizing the justice system. They ignore the fact that using the justice system against people who are doing extremely illegal shit doesn’t constitute an abuse of the justice system. How they are portrayed by their enemies is more important to the Democrats than accomplishing any sort of political objective. It’s the sort of pathetic that is really hard to respect.










  • After reading your comment, I tried it for myself, running “Age Of Wonders 4” through Lutris 0.5.22. Nothing happened. As in, literally nothing, game didn’t launch, and no error. Then downgraded Lutris to 0.5.19, and first I got a message saying that wine needed to install something, and then I got an error message saying “A java script error occurred in the main process”.

    So the results of my experiment are inconclusive. I consider an error message a better than result than nothing visibly happening, because an error message at least tells me nothing its not working, instead of letting me wait and wait.

    So, yes, it appears that the quality of Lutris has declined after the developer started using Claude Code. However, my experiment was just a quick and dirty experiment, and ultimately further research is necessary.

    I propose the following experiment, keep in mind that this is basically a rough sketch of the procedure:

    1. Set up two virtual machines running linux, a and b. (TODO: Decide on distro)
    2. Install Lutris 0.5.22 on a, and 0.5.19 on b.
    3. Try out several games on both a and b, both installed and launched through lutris, and record how well they run.
