  Because "AI" tools are unsustainable, and it would be better not to have destroyed your actual skill when the bubble eventually pops.

  You cannot forbid forking a public GitHub repository, per their terms of service

  There are SO MANY parents that are not willing to teach and monitor their kids online safety. I would even say most parents don't take that responsibility themselves.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Switch 2: Is it worth buying?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the hardware has a lot of promise, but it's fair to say that at this very instant there aren't many exclusives to justify it if you aren't excited about Mario Kart.

  If you have a backlog of Switch games, or you have favorites you're frequently playing on Switch, the improved processing power and loading times could be attractive, even if your games don't have resolution/framerate patches. For example, Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition loads battles in a snap, and doesn't have any framerate issues during gameplay anymore (although it is still capped at like 30 FPS in cutscenes, sadly.)

  There's a couple other neat things about it, but likely not too relevant to anyone who's on the fence about the console.

  Oh this is awesome. I can see so many cool applications for this in wearable electronics and custom form factor batteries. I hope their research into improving the voltage pays off.

  Even though it's a corporate spokesperson, they wouldn't have requested anonymity if they were allowed to talk about it...

  Having done it for a living for a few months, you cannot possibly imagine how bad it gets.

  No, seriously. I already had very little faith in humanity going in, and thought I'd seen the worst the internet had to offer. Scraping the actual bottom of the barrel is difficult to even describe. I had to force a stunned sense of humor about it to detach myself a bit as a coping mechanism.

  Honestly, as long as the collision lets you walk over it smoothly without getting caught in the gap between the terrain and the object, I think this is fine. Having it flush or overlapping would probably lead to z-fighting or other weird collision bugs.

  If it is really possible to reliably train oneself to lucid dream, that's probably as far as it should go... Beyond there lies madness
