The three comments are communicating three separate things, I think it's clearer that way.

The idea that the DMV is a particularly awful experience does seem like something that would be especially susceptible to selection bias. Why would anyone ever announce "I went to the DMV today and it was fine"?

I'm sorry but the amount of houses nearby that need to be on fire before I'm just getting the fuck out is less than any amount that people might reasonably consider a wildfire, my house is not worth risking my life. Even if I do m

I'm surprised they built something this involved and went with a belt drive wheel. Direct drive options are very affordable these days and the difference is night and day.

"freedom of speech, but only if it's statistically common" is a very strange take.

Jonathan Blow has good points sometimes, but he comes off as very "old man rants at cloud" most of the time. He's been stewing in his own sauce for far too long.

Are you one of those people who think that regular modern capitalist societies with any kind of social safety net or publicly funded healthcare are communism?

Really Java has always been kinda okay - the really horrible part of Java was always the "enterprise OOP" programming patterns that were basically a given in any commercial codebase - little things like pointing out the verbosity

As long as at least one option is exactly what you asked for throwing variations at you that don't conform to 100% of your prompt seems like it could be useful if it gives the model leeway to improve the output in other aspects.

User created content in games presumably? E.g. custom sprays in FPS games or clan flags in mmos. Or adding assets in an editor built with bevy.

They fucking suck too, I miss when the collectibles shelf at game stores was filled with a bunch of cool looking action figures, now it's a wall of funko pops and maybe 10 non funko figures somewhere else.

And is so pedantic about whitespace that you need to specifically configure your editor to be able to retain your sanity while editing it, no thanks.

I think needing to work out what it is by asking someone or reading documentation or whatever is a feature , not a bug here. If you instead used a word that kinda described what it is without being able to explain specifics people might ma

I think it's less that gamers have decided it's the "endgame" and more that current gen games at good framerates at 4k require significantly more money than 1440p does, and at least to my eyes just running at native 1440

Isn't nobody actually making anything close to a profit in the AI space? When your entire business model is propped up by VC money making your bill of materials that you use to make negative profit cheaper is probably not very high on

> I’m sure the kids in the 2000s could just play games on the bus. I certainly played gameboy in the car, until I inevitably got carsick and had to vomit somewhere. Pokemon vs nausea was a tough tradeoff.

One thing that seems to be a trend recently is replacing a lot of text explanations of things with little pictograms. I understand this is usually some combination of needing to fit them onto the game board + avoiding needing to translate m

I think this is the key to them actually being useful - generate a sane project in some widely used language under the hood, and let people give up on the low code solution when they outgrow the guardrails. Otherwise you're just doomin

Yeah if the world went in the direction that prepper types seem to get wet dreams about petrol ICE cars would only be usable for a year or so - petrol has a shelf life, and you ain't running your own refinery. A lot of diesels can run

I swear comments on posts like this one always read like some religious support group for people that think sex outside of the context of marriage is worthy of shame. It's depressing.

I feel like we're far too obsessed with the "nobility" of stuff we do for fun. Watch YouTube shorts, scroll reddit, whatever. It's only "addictive" because it's fun, it's no more pointless than anythi

I can't remember where exactly but I think I did read somewhere it was based on wave function collapse. I think wave function collapse is still super underexplored in game dev. This recent paper is pretty interesting: https:/&#x2

The biggest downside of a plugin hybrid is the complexity and therefore higher service costs, likely shorter lifetime etc. You have all the maintenance requirements of a regular ICE vehicle and an electric motor + battery on top of that.

I would imagine the most price sensitive buyers wouldn't be looking at the new market at all - there might not be enough demand for "cheap, but still nowhere near as cheap as a second hand car" to make the price point worth t

Are you looking at userbenchmark? They are not even slightly reliable.
