Especially now that UI design of cars has started to follow the experimental churn of the mobile phone industry instead of following most established designs everyone is familiar with.

I once hacked in an A* implementation into Jedi Knight: Dark Force II. The in built AI in the game was very primitive (as most AI was at the time) but cog language provided me a way to work around it. I initially used hand placed objects fo

Sometimes if they hate your client and ip they put you into a captcha tar pit that you only think you could get out of. Only a bot would keep trying but a human will die in there too even if they have the tenacity of a bot.

Intel actually had trouble getting 14nm off the ground and it was late to ramp up, that should have been a signal that past progress might be coming to an end. I believe that when things got difficult managements response was to try to catc

Wild. Although I've heard Apple have a hardware shutoff for the microphone when the lid closes so perhaps DRM on the sensor is less insane from a security perspective than it might first appear.

I used to be really into modding the game Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II. The quirky engine has all sorts of weird bugs and limitations. I created a flare gun weapon (similar to the stick rail gun missiles so nothing to crazy here) but found t

One of my classic typos. I mean the government would NOT have to payout, the insurance company would.

Nvidia had already been through one crypto bust at that point. The long view was that there will be another one and they wanted to keep their more stable markets viable for the future and not get demand slaughtered by mass dumping of used c

Just require police to carry liability insurance so their misconduct is paid for by the insurance. If all insurance carriers drop them they cannot do police work anymore. You can even give them a raise to cover the extra insurance. Then the

I assumed it was to track users and sell that data. Won't most people just endure the poorer experience of using their phone and ignore the half baked GM solution?

Most traffic occurs during the morning and evening commute, you'll need roughly the same number of vehicles for those surges unless those norms change as well.

During the video card shortage I was kind of lamenting that straight encoder cards just don't exist anymore. To get the best encoder acceleration you were stuff fighting with gamers and crytominers over the same video cards even if you

I can't believe they would arrest me for being a peeping tom, don't they know I have a lot of credit card debt?

The end game for surveillance capitalism. Recording everything you do, storing it out of your control and then falsifying the data to screw other people over. They'll probably only get a small fine for it so all they'll learn is t

It'd probably help if most new things didn't also bolt on a bunch of anti-features and come with vague promises of reaching feature parity with the thing they say they're going to replace.

And efforts to fight it will create crushing burdens of verification and false positives for the remaining humans, driving out much of the remaining signal.

Probably helps keep their wages lower and prevents them from bailing on a late project like if they had a contract with a time limit. On the other hand, I wouldn't exactly be killing myself to ship on time if I was going to get laid of

Arguably worse. If the incentive structure is setup such that (vicious psychopathic) people choose to make this kind of tradeoff, this will just keep happening since the culprit will just be replaced by another link in the same chain with t

It might be a technological innovation that creates actual negative productivity. Mass production of mush-mouthed corpospeak that says nothing at all bombarding people nonstop. Some people will use AI to summarize the AI created bloat, each

My understanding is about everyone in America (and bizarrely a lot of people in Europe) got f'ed by the Equifax breech already.

I think parent means compared to all lower case, which would be the other alternative if still constrained by storage. Early screens also were very low resolution and without thinking much about it there is more ambiguity between lower case

Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II still used 2D sprite explosions and weapons in 1997. Was Terminator: Future Shock true 3D? I seem remember it used the Daggerfall engine which was 2.5D. First generation 3D games were kind of a mess IMO. They usu

Amazon likely does not have separate Prime and Non-Prime lanes in their warehouses. It would be a redundancy and add additional complexity that would increase costs/reduce profits. Since customers never see the warehouse there really w

AI potentially adds "Computer says no" to an already bad situation. And since it is blackboxy most people can't even pick it apart when it is wrong.

Houses are a lot tighter than they were in the past which makes it harder for them to "dry out" unless you have some kind of air circulation system. My house certainly doesn't and it wouldn't be easy to retrofit.
