People should queue up when there are more people than things to interact with, and generally they do. I don't care if someone lets someone with one thing ahead of everyone else as long as it still moves along. I would hate for ad hoc queuing to have enforced rules because doing it ad hoc is better overall and adding rules would make it more cumbersome.

It is required to have dogs on leashes here, but sometimes I see one off leash and if it is well behaved I don't care. They should be on a leash as a best practice, but leashed dogs that are aggressive are worse than a well behaved but unleashed dog so I let the unleashed and behaved ones slide. The unleashed and aggressive ones are the worst.

There are a lot of things where it is best to do something a certain way in general, but when it doesn't directly address the underlying issue or there are exceptions then I don't get upset. Like people should use crosswalks properly, unless there is no traffic and they have no real benefit...

Pretty sure that it is one of those things that does happen rarely, but people tend to assume everyone is doing it as an excuse to dismiss the homeless problem.

If I understand and agree with the reason for being upset, yes.

Like I agree with banning peanuts on airlines because of allergy issues and think people who are upset about that are wrong so their being upset doesn't impact me at all. Although I am not able to have an abortion, seeing people being upset that their rights are being denied does make me upset as well.

Then there are tons of things I either can't relate to or understand and I don't really care either way. There are lots of things I think people should choose to do voluntarily, but don't want it to be required. I don't get upset when I see people not do those things, even though they really should.

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.

There are a massive number of scientific research and other pattern matching positive uses that all involve using the AI to help narrow down what to focus on. All of those use AI as a way to filter and group information, not as the end result like the current trend is for the AI being shoved into everything.

Heck, there are some positive uses that could be made with the right guardrails like as a supplemental tool when learning a language (with an educator for oversight!) or as a natural language output for something that is created through an algorithm that returns accurate results.

Mainly, the exact opposite of what is being forced on everyone right now which is inaccurate slop that is full of errors but presented as reliable and helpful.

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.

Mammals are fish, and mermaids are mammals. That is why they have both fish tails and boobs.

Also, it is hilarious that sexualized nudity is fine when it is furniture and art, but some sexy pics of a random person doing the same pose is smut.

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.
