@ben_lubar , if you haven't seen this, you need to . Seriously. It might just explain why not everyone sees what you do in Dwarf Fortress.
Note that they aren't saying that DF is a bad game, just that it is a game that isn't going to be engaging to most players - it asks more up front than most are willing to commit to, and keeps asking for more the further you go into the game. It is a trait which some players look for in a game, but which most players try to avoid.

An Australian machinist that is reproducing the Antikythera mechanism. His voice is super relaxing and he has an interesting video style. And surprisingly he is Australian and I have never heard him cuss. Not even a random "cunt" thrown in here and there.

Not so much that it isn't dumb, as it is about people being dumb. Apparently, Nintendo Hard is now also Nintendo Hung for some people who think old-skool controllers are used in phallometry.

YouTube gives you super reliable free hosting without ads (unless you want them). That in itself is an amazing service.
Anything over that is extra.
Ad-based profit sharing worked for a while and now that business model is collapsing. Video creators should feel happy if they get to keep hosting their videos for free, while taking money directly from advertisers or patreons.

You mean "patrons". That's the not-made-for-by-marketing word.

To answer the question no one here asked, Wolfram Alpha says the local minimum* is at 1/e which is about 0.36787944, with a value of e^(-1/e) which is about 0.69220063.
I remember a time in my life where I could do calculus and could try to calculate this myself. As it stands, I had no idea how to derive x^x.
*In the real domain. No complex shenanigans.

This sounds just like the sort of thing that may have already been posted somewhere in this forum.

Rewrite to
e^(ln(x) x)
, then use the chain rule and product rule.

@polygeekery said in Random but Not Dumb Videos Thread:
Fast forward to 14 minutes (and don't give me any shit about it, I am on mobile) for a long, hilarious story told by a drunk Scotsman from when he worked as an electrician.
Through following a video chain from here (or some bigclivedotcom video posted in this thread), as one does, I ended up here, which includes a bit talking about this chip:
It's a "programmable LED driver", and it's 0.886 mm × 0.886 mm.
Texas Instruments must laugh their asses off at misnamed hobbyist boards like the Arduino Nano.

I just wanna show you the ground right here. It looks like someone made a kill room for emojis.

Random but don't think this is a dumb video. Thought it was interesting only in that when it played as an ad before a YouTube video I was stunned (literally stopped and stared) first by representation then doubly stunned that it came out of HHS (or any government agency). Can't really explain why I was so shocked, but there you go.

Uh, yeah, well, gee, it's hard argue with... Uh... 'reasoning' like that, isn't it?
