I’m just speculating. The creators did say repeatedly they would stop the show when they felt it had run it’s course. And the official announcement they said it felt burned out. Personally I think there’s another layer with the WB acquisition but who knows. Have to take it at face value.

- Comment on From what I see in the US, people having kids are fucking up the world for kids more than people without kids 4 days ago:
The parents you know sound like they are in a much better position than the ones I know. One mother of 4 I know is literally buying food for their children and eating whatever is leftover. Or the single dad with two kids that takes them picking up trash at the beach for a bit of free fun.
It sort of sounds like you might be surrounded by rich assholes with more money than brains. They likely should be taxed for numerous other reasons before we get to children.

Well, go try to outmaneuver five established crime families and coordinate a simultaneous attack in a way that none of them get a chance at retaliation. Let us know how that goes, then we can start understanding the levels to “cunning”.

Depends when and where you grew up, probably. We had to pass through metal detectors every day and a concealed weapon would have been pretty dumb.

Can hospitals still sell their debts to third party collection agencies? Those groups seem like exactly the type to garnish McD wages.

- Comment on CEO of Palantir Says AI Means You’ll Have to Work With Your Hands Like a Peasant 4 weeks ago:
I think the ownership class is thinking of revising “let them eat cake” into “let them eat dirt. We have no need for them.”
In the budding K-Economy, that seems to be the case. The objectively wealthy now make up something like 60% of consumer spending. It seems to be reaching the point that the majority of people can’t make enough money to even be considered vital to the economy.

Split fiction was great fun for my partner and I, writing is mid but gameplay is probably the best action adventure coop I’ve played. It has so much variety to offer.
- Comment on AI boom could falter without wider adoption, Microsoft chief Satya Nadella warns 1 month ago:
We’ll have to agree to disagree. To go through your points, spell check not particularly impressive. That was a solved previously without needing the power demands of a small town. Grammer, maybe - but in my experience my “LLM powered” keyboard’s suggestions are still worse than old T9.
I’ve had no luck troubleshooting anything with AI. It’s often trained on old data, tries to instruct you to change settings that don’t exist, or dreams up controls that appear on “similar” hardware. Sure you can infer a solution, maybe, but it’s rarely correct at first response. It’ll happily run you through steps that are inconsequential to fixing a problem.
It might be better than indexed search NOW - but mostly because LLMs wrecked that too. I used to be able to use a couple search operators and get directly to the information I needed - now search is just shifting through slop sites.
And it does all this half assing while using enough power to justify dedicated nuclear reactors. I cant help but feel we’ve regressed on so many fronts.

Hell I’d almost settle for just “make it work”. No disclaimers, no bullshitting. Computers should be optimized and accurate. AI is neither.

Not allegedly, it’s quite true. CRT’s tech approach adds gradients, depth to the colors and softens sharp pixel corners. Any sprite based game will look richer on a CRT, but filters are eh 80% good enough

My parents rented a storage unit when my grandma passed because no one had room for her nice furniture. And it is nice furniture very well built - but no one is ever going to have the space. Let it goo.
- Comment on It was a blast 1 month ago:
32 will be fine for a long, long time unless something with the RAM situation changes. Especially with manufacturers moving their “mid-tier” machines back to 8 GB, optimization will become mandatory to sell games.

I run fedora on 8GB and find it functional but definitely not comfortable. Anything past a dozen tabs and it starts getting choked up.

- Comment on Why make 250GB m.2 disks instead of 1TB 2 months ago:
Using this image as a visual, each of the black squares is a NAND flash memory chip. If you want more storage on the device, it needs more chips on the board.
Density can vary between manufacturers, some 256 might only use one NAND chip, others may need two or more, but going up to 1TB there will generally need at least 4.
