Why bother making something new when perfection already exists?

Perfect, she’s just in time to see streaming services fully adopt cable tv business practices

This is like saying there are no racially discriminatory hiring practices, employers are just hiring the most qualified people (which ignores that it’s harder for disenfranchised people to gain those qualifications). That is to say: people aren’t arguing that this situation doesn’t make sense, they’re arguing that it’s wrong. And it doesn’t stop being wrong just because the people involved had no bad intentions.

Expect to butt heads with more and more people in the coming years if you argue by appealing to the status quo, because an increasing number of people are starting to take issue with the entire system as it stands.

Costco has lines regardless of whether it’s self serve though

This is more of a meta thing, but relevant to a lot of comments I’m seeing here. Having an opinion about pineapple on pizza is the most uninteresting cultural phenomenon. I’ve spent the last 4 years on dating apps, and at least 1 in 3 people write in their bio about this “issue”. It’s not something that people truly have strong feelings about, it’s like straight men saying Ryan Reynolds is attractive, or people arguing over the definition of a sandwich. It’s an opinion that people hold as a proxy for being somebody with strong opinions.

Returnal, a rogue like 3rd person shooter (sort of bullet hell) with a scifi alien setting and a mindfuck story. It’s one of my favorite games I’ve played in years, both for the story and gameplay. I can’t recommend it enough.

If you’re familiar with the story of the first Last of Us game, Last of Us 2 is great and is centered around Ellie.

I struggle to see how any music made by people for the enjoyment of people isn’t art

the core role of an engineer in many ways already is validation of a plan.

I disagree, this implies that AI are doing a lot more than they actually are. Before you design the physical layout of some thing, you have to identify a problem, and identify guidelines and empirical metrics against which you can compare your design to determine efficacy. This is half the job for engineers.

There’s one step of the design process that I see current AI completing autonomously (implementation), and I view it as nontrivial to get the technology working higher up on the “V”.

It’s still just a tool for engineers though. Half of the job is determining what the design requirements are, another quarter is figuring out what general scheme (i.e. water vs air cooling) works best to meet those requirements. Things like this are great, but all they really do is effectively connect point A to point B in order to free up some man-hours for more high-level work.

There’s a guy at this maker-space I work out of who’s been using ChatGPT to do engineering work for him. There was some issue with residue being left in the parking lot on the pavement and came forward saying it had to do with “ChatGPT giving him a bad math number,” whatever the hell that means. This is also not the first time he’s said something like this, and its always hilarious.

I have really fond memories of waking up early at the beginning of summer vacation to watch E3 with a bowl of lucky charms. Even if it does get replaced I’m always going to miss it for nostalgic reasons.

And can that same person explain why social features are completely missing from the mobile app?

Can confirm, I’m half way through Wind Waker playing on my laptop with 0 issues.

Thanks, I’ll check it out!

Everything cracks under pressure, I’m not exactly sure what the above commenter is getting at. If the sub was steel the walls would be thinner. With titanium the walls are thicker. Without knowing the dimensions of the material we can’t know whether it was built to high enough standards.

I think a scientists reply to that would be: the phenomenon of ‘conciousness’ is a result of the complex chemical reactions between clusters of highly organized matter. Science’s ability to answer questions about consciousness is limited only by the precision of our tools and the sophistication of our methods, both of which will only continue to improve. The fact that we are currently limited, in our tools and our methods, is the only reason that other less quantatative methods of understanding consciousness (like philosophy) are more effective.

So far the only people I know joining Kick are xQc, Train and Adin Ross… if that’s the kind of content they’re trying to curate early on I can say with 100% certainty that its not for me.

Also doesn’t help that they’re funded by a gambling company

Disco Elysium!

Yep, Twitter was the only way I could reliably get info about power outages in my neighborhood. Now I’ll just have to wait patiently for it to come back on… like a caveman

I’ve already seen a megathread on Lemmy linking to porn communities. It’s inevitable
