Final Fantasy 7 Remake Steam version testing result:

1. With GTX 1050 Ti as the GPU, the bottleneck is the GPU, not the CPU, even though my CPU itself was weak.

2. However, once the GPU got upgraded, the CPU became the bottleneck.

The following settings can make the game smoother:

3. Set the Texture to Low. However, I do not recommend that.

4. Set the Shadow to Low.

5. Set the number of background people to be zero.

6. Set the resolution to 720p.

.

The following are the less obvious steps to release some CPU pressure:

7. Turn Steam into offline mode.

8. Turn off as many as other programs as possible.

9. In the controller setting, change the controller from the default “XInput” to “XBox 360“. However, I do not recommend that because that would disable the game’s rumble function.

.

After these settings, the game should be able to load Cloud’s headache memory cinematic scenes.

10. If not, start to repeat pressing the pause button every one second when a scene starts to load.

Visualizing higher dimensions, 2.2 | Remove time from physics, 2

.

Mathematics is local (left brain).

Physics is global (right brain).

— Me@2017-06-22 06:16:59 PM

.

Mathematical processes, i.e. the calculations, are local.

Physical intuitions before a calculation and the interpretations after are global.

— Me@2023-01-13 07:45:24 PM

.

However, in an opposite sense, physics is local and mathematics is global.

— Me@2023-01-14 08:13:17 PM

.

Geometry is global.

Space is what we can see at once.

Dynamics is local.

Time is what we cannot see at once.

— Me@2017-02-07 10:11:34 PM

… math is what you get when you remove time from physics.

Meta numbers 2.1 | Zeno’s paradox 5

.

Infinity is not a number. Instead, it is a meta number.

Numbers are for counting things. Infinity cannot be used for counting things. Infinity is for counting natural numbers. It is a number of numbers.

Numbers represent what there are. But infinity cannot do so. Infinity is only meaningful as a potential one.

Infinity and infinitesimal are processes, not states. Numbers are points on the number line. Infinity is not a point, but an arrow pointing to the right.

An infinite set is a set with an infinite number of elements. An infinite set is defined as a set that contains a subset which is as large as the set itself. In other words, the elements of the subset can have one-one correspondence to those of the origin set. The whole can have one-one mapping to the part because it is not a state of finished mappings, but a process.

Processes are meta states. Processes describe how an object changes its states. Processes describe not the states, but the changes.

No, because I think we didn’t know what we were doing. I think the hallmark of a really good entrepreneur is that you’re not really going to build one specific company. The goal — at least the way I think about entrepreneurship — is you realize one day that you can’t really work for anyone else. You have to start your own thing.

History 4

Posted on by

.

History seems to me so important that it’s misleading to treat it as a mere field of study. Another way to describe it is all the data we have so far.

.

Among other things, studying history gives one confidence that there are good ideas waiting to be discovered right under our noses.

ANSI Common LISP

Posted on by

.

ANSI Common LISP (by Paul Graham) was the book I borrowed for a Machine Intelligence course project in 2000. My memory was that the author was called “Paul something”. I thought that Paul was the one who had invented LISP.

No. It should be John McCarthy.

Later on, during my teaching-in-high-school period, by a Wikipedia biography, I realized that that Paul was not as great as I thought, because he was not the one who had invented LISP.

However, now, I regard him as one of my five most important teachers.

Startup, go ahead!

Startup 6

.

In an essay I wrote a couple years ago I advised graduating seniors to work for a couple years for another company before starting their own. I’d modify that now. Work for another company if you want to, but only for a small one, and if you want to start your own startup, go ahead.

Startup 5

Posted on by

.

There are two types of startup ideas: those that grow organically out of your own life, and those that you decide, from afar, are going to be necessary to some class of users other than you.

…

There are ideas that obvious lying around now. The reason you’re overlooking them is the same reason you’d have overlooked the idea of building Facebook in 2004: organic startup ideas usually don’t seem like startup ideas at first.

Extremists

Posted on by

And founders and early employees of startups, meanwhile, are like the Birkenstock-wearing weirdos of Berkeley: though a tiny minority of the population, they’re the ones living as humans are meant to. In an artificial world, only extremists live naturally.

Building your own brand

Posted on by

.

Ultimately, you have to decide which is more important — building your own brand, or building the brand of the website you’re contributing to? While these two concepts are not necessarily opposed, I strongly urge everyone reading this to err on the side of building your own brand whenever possible. Websites tend to come and go; the only sensible long term strategy is to invest in something that’s guaranteed to be around for the rest of your life: you.

Nerd 4

Posted on by

.

I thought it would be useful if I explained what a nerd was. What I came up with was: someone who doesn’t expend any effort on marketing himself.

A nerd, in other words, is someone who concentrates on substance. So what’s the connection between nerds and technology? Roughly that you can’t fool mother nature. In technical matters, you have to get the right answers.

Aircraft

Posted on by

.

One of the mistakes novice pilots make is overcontrolling the aircraft: applying corrections too vigorously, so the aircraft oscillates about the desired configuration instead of approaching it asymptotically. It seems probable that investors have till now on average been overcontrolling their portfolio companies. In a lot of startups, the biggest source of stress for the founders is not competitors but investors.
