Tariffs causing price increase would be good for me politically

I think I’m going to hack my switch 1 now, and put some custom mario kart tracks on it

That asshole company everyone* cares about. My hatred of Nintendo runs deep. But I still watched the direct. I’m so excited for the innovative new features, and the new Mario Kart looks sick. I am disgusted that they will use the money to go after fans. I need help

Your mockery of republicans is indistinguishable from actual republicans. You are serving only to swell their ranks.

- Comment on After 50 million miles, Waymos crash a lot less than human drivers 1 week ago:
I don’t know anything about how autonomous vehicles work. As far as humans doing unusual things, well assuming the human driver only steers the wheel and controls the gas and breaks, it should be possible with existing technology to avoid crashing into them at least as well as any human can. So that leaves really unusual things, like the human hopping out of their car in the middle of an intersection, as the high-hanging fruit to model. I would imagine for most of these really strange cases, even if the autonomous vehicle can’t understand what’s happening, they can at least realize that something strange is happening and then pull over.
Obviously there will be truly unusual situations that cause fatal collisions. So long as that is at a lower rate, then what’s the safety concern?
Safety is a red herring IMO, as better code can fix it. There are much worse potential problems that autonomous vehicles will cause than rare collisions. NotJustBikes has a lot of points I’d never considered before in the second half of this video. (The first half, though, I found aggravating; it’s just about solvable safety risks.)

Ah. Sorry. There are some truly braindead takes on autonomous vehicles so I couldn’t tell that apart from what some people have said earnestly. My bad. 👍
- Comment on After 50 million miles, Waymos crash a lot less than human drivers 1 week ago:
Okay, I’m sorry. Let me clarify how it’s easy to account for the kind of bias you’re talking about. Simply divide by the population count. So, they divided the waymo crash count by the number of waymos, and the human crash count by the number of humans. This gives the waymo crash rate and the human crash rate. (In reality, it’s a bit more complicated, since the human crash rate is calculated independently each year.)
- Comment on After 50 million miles, Waymos crash a lot less than human drivers 1 week ago:
They accounted for that in this report.
- Comment on After 50 million miles, Waymos crash a lot less than human drivers 1 week ago:
it’s hard to change humans. It’s easy to roll out a firmware update.

I do feel bad for people born in the year 1488 though, their usernames look really suspicious.

Let’s get more kidneys out there instead with tax credits for donors.

I have never played loot box / gambling / gacha games. I will admit that I have given in and I do play games with DRMs, which are most games these days.

I like playing video games…

the article is talking about both, or perhaps conflates the two. QR code menus.

Definitely thought from the thumbnail that it was PEGI 13 -> PEGI 12.
- Comment on Indie devs have begun adding a no generative AI stamp to their store pages 5 weeks ago:
I think it’s because most programmers use and appreciate the tool. This might change once programmers start to blame gen AI for not having a job anymore.
- Comment on Indie devs have begun adding a no generative AI stamp to their store pages 5 weeks ago:
There are many reasons that people dislike gen AI; you can’t be sure that it’s because they dislike how it’s built on theft. Here are three different unrelated reasons to dislike gen AI:
- it puts people out of work;
- it’s built on theft;
- it produces “slop” in large quantities
- Comment on Indie devs have begun adding a no generative AI stamp to their store pages 5 weeks ago:
By this logic, any literally any code is genAI.
Has a branch statement? It makes decisions. Displays something on the screen, even by stdout? Generated content.
- Comment on Indie devs have begun adding a no generative AI stamp to their store pages 5 weeks ago:
Procgen is not AI. It’s not even machine learning.
- Comment on Indie devs have begun adding a no generative AI stamp to their store pages 5 weeks ago:
I am for the most part angry that people are being put out of work by AI; I actually find AI-generated content interesting sometimes, for example AI Frank Sinatra singing W.A.P. is pretty funny. This label is helpful to me so that I know I’m supporting humans monetarily.
- Comment on Indie devs have begun adding a no generative AI stamp to their store pages 5 weeks ago:
Generative AI is a technology that can create pictures, movies, audio (music or voice action) and writing using artificial intelligence
By their definition of Gen AI, it’s unclear to me if the label says anything about code. I’m not sure I would consider it “writing.”

nothing makes me more skeptical that seeing the word “scientists” in a headline.

- Comment on Playing Dragonsweeper because of Ars' article. Did I have any way out of this without guessing? 1 month ago:
Have you paid attention to the patterns visible when the game ends? The purple slimes + wizard are really helpful to locate. I also generally tried to avoid using the walls since it seems like they don’t always give as many points as they take to kill. I also played on an earlier version, it might have been easier.

Unlike in minesweeper, it’s possible to make a bad move early on which later causes you to enter a situation where you’re forced to guess.
- Comment on Playing Dragonsweeper because of Ars' article. Did I have any way out of this without guessing? 1 month ago:
I did it on my eigth or ninth try. I lost several times due to stupid mistakes, clicking on a mine when I forgot that there was a 1xx clue next to it, seeing only that xx was small.
