I mean, when that xkcd was made, that was a hard task. Now identifying a bird in a picture can be done in realtime on a raspberry pi in a weekend project.

The problem in the op isn’t really a limitation of AI, it’s coming up with an inventory management system that can detect low inventory without being obtrusive in a users life. The rest is just scraping local stores prices and compiling a list with some annealing algo that gets the best price to stops ratio.

Steam literally started as a way to easily patch and find servers for your valve games. They didn’t start selling other games on there until a few years later.

But that’s the thing though right? No man’s sky will always be known for sucking at first. Sure it got better, but it did suck. It will forever have that taint of sucking attached to it.

It’s better to be remembered as being good from the start.

I was gonna say, maybe he knocked Santa off a roof or something.

I’m currently using a Samsung flip 5. I have it set up to use all my main apps on the outer screen, so I can just have a small screen. Then I have the option to open it for apps that I might want to be on a larger screen.

It’s working out pretty well. Some days I never even use the inner screen.

They could make a small screen phone, but thicker to make more room for a bigger battery.

Work at a dishwasher factory. We used to make a model with windows, they were really expensive parts, which meant that they were really expensive dishwashers for a feature that really isn’t useful.

It makes sense in a microwave or oven because you can check in and make sure it’s all good, or pull it out if it’s done. You can’t do that with a dishwasher, it just runs it’s course.

Plus all you could see in the thing was splashing soap water.

My problem with all of it is, they’ve built that shit into the browser. That means baked into the browser, it is watching what I’m doing and doing things on its own based on what I do.

It leaves the door open for them to bother me/phone home anytime I do something that isn’t in their interests. Are they going to add in similar things for me looking for windows, office, GitHub, or Xbox alternatives?

I think the original quote was something along the lines of, “the customer is always right, in mattera of taste”. Meaning to accommodate the customers wishes, even if it’s ugly or a bad idea or whatever. Like if they want to paint their house pink with green trim, let them

Heres the thing, other countries sucking doesn’t make the US not suck. Like yeah, it’s shit other places, but it can also be shit here too. Identifying the problems with a place is the first step to making it better.

Christmas creping into October. Like it already dominates all of December and November, leave Halloween alone.

People at work were talking about going to a store that already has Christmas stuff set up. It’s getting ridiculous…

Everything should be glass or aluminum. Preferably aluminum since you don’t really have to worry about mixtures and cleaning it, you just melt it down and reshape it. With glass, you have to separate out the different types, and it still breaks down each recycle, I believe, since they mix silica with other compounds to make different kinds of glass.

I honestly don’t understand stand why plastic beverage bottles are still a thing. Cans work perfectly. And if you insist on bottles, they can make aluminum cans too.

Ahh yes, let’s make stores into prisons.

Or how about we bring back cashier’s, pay people a living wage andaybe they won’t have to resort to stealing.

Fahrenheit makes sense for humans. Most of your day to day climates are in the 0 to 100 scale, and every 10 degrees is a noticeable level change.

• 100 super hot day, approaching unsafe without counter measures
• 90 really hot day, slightly annoying and should take precautions
• 80, hot day, more annoying than anything
• 70, beautiful day, enjoy it
• 60 not to bad, if it’s windy you could be slightly on the cold side
• 50 long sleeves or maybe a hoodie
• 40 definitely a jacket, and hat
• 30 full on coat, scarfe, and hat
• 20 multiple layers of out for a while, maybe double pants
• 10 annoyingly cold, need to start thinking about the safety precautions
• 0 and below, temperature now measured in hold long you can be outside before danger

Celsius makes sense for science stuff because it’s derived from science stuff, so things like calories and energy work with it. But it doesn’t really apply to everyday life as well. So it actually makes sense to use both units for the things the are good at.

The theme of cyberpunk is that you have a literal anti corp terrorist in your head, and how that is affecting V’s psyche. Like there are points in the game where you choose some dialogue options and the game is like “is that V’s opinion or Johnny’s”.

I think they should have not played up the “if left unchecked, he’s going to kill you” sense of urgency bit though. But basically every open world game has the same problem with how do you reconcile having an open world, but also have a plot that needs moved forward. Like they can’t just outright game over you if you just do side quests for a in-game week or so.

That’s where starfield actually gets it right. You aren’t the “chosen one”, you are just a guy. The main plot of the game has no sense of urgency, because it’s fully driven by how much you dig into the artifact mystery. Any one in constellation could be doing the same things you are doing, and getting the powers and finding more artifacts, they all have seen the same visions you have when they first touched one. Again, you aren’t special.

Is it really the sloppiest though?

I’d say its about on par with their past games. It’s clearly their game engine, modified to do space stuff.

If you come at it with the mindset that not every game has to get bigger and more expansive and have more and more realism/mechanics that don’t serve the core gameplay, it achieves it’s goal.

Not saying its game of the year material or anything, but if I was doing an employee review, I’d give it a meets expectations grade.

Wear a fanny pack/carry a non-backpack bag as a man.

It’s so convenient to have a bag full of stuff on you. Like I’m out and have a headache, boom Aspirin. At dinner and got some food in your teeth, bam flosser. It’s very satisfying when a situation comes up and you have the exact thing to solve a problem right there in your bag. But a backpack is too big and bulky and anything smaller becomes a purse and this looks down upon for a man to carry.

I only get the courage to wear it when on a trip where I can overly justify it. Like hiking, or a theme park or convention. I feel like if it was an everyday thing I’d have to explain it or hear about it more than I’d want to.

You do know that thin film clear “plastic” isn’t actually plastic right? Most of that is cellophane, which is made from plants and is biodegradable.

Um, professor umbridge from Harry Potter. She’s basically an asshole just to be one.

The other ones all have some sort of justification to their shittyness. Jenny was abused, Vader was a literal slave that was taken advantage of by both the Jedi and palpatine. The joker has literal mental issues.

Umbridge was straight up a child abuser with no remorse or tragic back story. She harmed kids while enjoying it and drinking tea.

You do realize that teaching people to cook does absolutely nothing to keep people from being obese, right? I cook all the time, still over weight. Cooking fresh food does not equate to a healthy diet and being thin. People’s over eating, and diets don’t really affect you.

Plus, you can’t force shit like this on people, they have to want to do it. I could eat healthier, sure, but I’d truly rather die a few years younger than to have wasted my life eating beans, rice and basic meats like you are suggesting.
