> Non scrupulous ebikers rip through pedestrian sections. You're right. A car driver would never rip through a crosswalk or kill someone. That argument is stupid. Cars kill several times more people than ebikes ever will. It's

If ebikes are a nuisance or a danger then cars weighing 100× more should be even more concerning. Yet cars are a "fact of life" and bikes are a "nuisance" somehow... Go figure.

Many thousands of people die every day in car crashes and this is thought to be just a fact of life as natural as the sun rising. Suddenly a couple of teenagers doing wheelies is a menace. Just build some fucking bike lanes, all you need is

None of these experiences would be possible in a "WoW clone" MMO. Only with the freedom of an immersive sim can these memorable moments happen. We could do it in 1999. Why has no one done it again? Why isn't there a BotW-engi

UO and Star Wars Galaxies were both MMOs with that experience you describe, and I really can't think of any others. For my money the only ones to truly live to the promise of a virtual persistent alternate world . WoW in 2004 truly sc

On the contrary, you're mistaking the means with the ends. Yes the regimes and their leaders think about oil corridors and regional proxies. Yes probably a chunk of the apparatchiks don't believe in the spiel and just care about e

That's why I say most AI content isn't just slop—it's fundamentally about deception. It's about tricking someone into believing that a text was written by a human, or that a photo or video is a true recording of a real e

Well it could. Laws that simply ban any public-facing camera from doing anything except write to encrypted storage, which can only be opened with a court warrant. I know laws are boring and tech is exciting, but sometimes there's no

Cars can and do kill 1,500,000 people every single year, equivalent to a jumbo jet full of people every couple hours, plus an equal number of crippled and injured, plus untold number of pollution deaths. That's a ridiculous comparison

This is what I fucking hate about this AI craze. It's all [1], fundamentally, about deception. Trying to pass off word salad as a blogpost, fake video as real, a randomly generated page as a genuine recipe, an LLM summary as insight. [

I would also add that Rust manages this very well. Editions let you do breaking changes without actually breaking any code, since any package (crate) needs to specify the edition it uses. So when in 30 years you're writing code in Rust
