If I have seen it less than about a hundred times, it is a 5. I will have some key words that let me describe it successfully to other people, but I can’t actually picture it.

If I have seen it fairly regularly for a few years, or haven’t seen it for several years, probably a 4.

If I have seen it for decades, it might be a 3. Apples, which I see at least every few days is a 3.

I have an internal narrator that doesn’t sound like a specific voice that is like a pseudo auditory representation of my thoughts. This mostly applies to reading or troubleshooting where I’m consciously working through stuff. It also means that something which stands out as incorrect is massively annoying, like people confusing lose and loose because I ‘hear’ it. Homophones are fine!

I can’t really picture things unless it is something I have seen many, many times. So no picturing something in my mind that I haven’t seen before. Most things I have seen before are mostly vague ideas and with minimal detail. Like I know a baseball has the stitching and it curves in a certain way, but probably couldn’t draw it. I know what my wife’s face looks like, but can’t quite picture it in my head because I don’t look at a singular photo of her over and over.

But I can hold relational information like many to one combinations and 3d space relative positioning but without the ability to see it. So I can generally figure out if things will fit together even though I can’t really ‘see’ them, I know they fill a certain volume relative to other things of a similar volume and that is generally good enough. Most things are measured relative to each other now that I’m thinking about it.

Yeah, morons who believe anything wealthy people say. Just like Musk.

Trump has always been a petty shithead loser. He was mocked back in the 80s for being creepy around women, running failed businesses, and not paying his contractors.

I don’t think Musk or Trump have any charisma, but apparently a lot of people see (inherited) wealth as charisma.

Cool, so after they are legally required to then they will start creating the documentation.

The point is making them change how they do things when how they do it is shitty for consumers.

Or buying a physical book where they printed it with ink that fades after 2 years so it is no longer readable.

This has nothing to do with open source.

Nothing.

Open source has zero relevance.

None whatsoever.

Nada.

Their licensing will change so that it doesn’t restrict keeping the game alive after servers go down or their license can’t be used to kill an otherwise functional game. That’s it.

Games will be designed to include the ability to do private servers after the company servers go down. It will be a cost of development just like anything else they are required to do. If they don’t want to include that, then they can choose not to make an online game.

When the law passes, the owners of proprietary functionality will adapt their licensing to meet the requirrments or go out of business when everyone stops using them.

None of those things will be affected because this isn’t about making games open source. It is about making games that have a design that allows them to potentially function indefinitely instead of allowing the companies to design them with planned obsolescence like tying single player games to server verification.

Data centers have become a major economic development battleground for many states, even though they provide relatively few jobs and consume massive amounts of resources.

Business welfare state!

This means, too, that Tesla hasn’t hit the milestone Musk promised back in January, when he told investors that the company would launch “unsupervised full self-driving as a paid service in Austin in June … no one in the car.”

Back in 2015 he claimed fully autonomous driving would be available in 3 years (by 2018) and since then it was always a year or two away. Why does anyone believe anything he says?

“From a technology standpoint, Tesla will have a car that can do full autonomy in about three years, maybe a bit sooner.”

Or when popping popcorn and it stops popping.

When starting a new game, don’t include that stuff. Not including proprietary stuff without meeting the licensing requirements is already a step in the process.

Since CPU speeds are still doubling every 18 months you have a solid point!

Or maybe not since you are probably referring to the doubling of transistors that was an observation which was accurate over a lengthy period of time in the context of when the observation was made. Nobody said that would continue indefinitely either.

“Guess I’ll just drive off the road then!”

If it happens to someone multiple times and they treat lane assist as a crutch then they are not safe to drive on the road.

The best part is they followed up with this gem so I know they didn’t pull over like you did:

For sure, but when you are driving cross-country you sometimes do not have a choice because there is nowhere to stop.

Reported and reviewed are the same word so your math checks out.

Driving when tired enough to drift out of your lane multiple times?

You shouldn’t have a license.

And the people who knowingly put profits before lives would be individually serve time for manslaughter.
