Pretty much my routine to a tee.

?

Well because that hasn’t taught me anything about geometry.

Acutely witty.

They’re so sinister aren’t they?

I use it as a resource in much the same way as you. Sometimes it’s a useful tiebreaker, but if I’ve got some reason to watch something other than “it’s one of several films I can watch at this moment”, that’d usually trump the rating.

Also it’s essentially impossible to aggregate subjectivity into a single rating, different people will get different things from the film. I’m sure there’s stuff I’ve watched and loved through some combination of where my head is at at the time and perhaps not knowing tropes or “writing is bad because X”.

I follow the same philosophy. Avoiding spoilers, there was a part of Act 2 that I thought was just the next conversation in a series of conversations, but it triggered a significant event that blocked me out of several things I had on the to-do list. I had no idea it’d trigger that, and imo I don’t think it’s reasonable that it would happen, so I did scum that.

Never understood the hurry of the crack groups.

You serious?

Obviously the sooner they crack it the sooner they can sell to impatient pirates. The market is only going to decrease over time, and if you’re beaten to the punch you lose out on loads of customers.

When the Dwarves and Humans first interacted they both described it as “we just smash”, and much sitcom hilarity came out of a simple misunderstanding that nobody bothered to clarify.

Not sure if you know this but on the off chance, that’s a deliberate choice by the devs, so it really won’t ever be on sale.

I used to know a guy who worked oil rigs I think six months of the year, earned a ton, then spent his off six months playing EVE Constantly. I think that might be close to the optimal way to play tbh.

You just unlocked that exact same memory, holding the right stick “just so” to make the camera usable. I seem to remember needing to lead turns in the same way too.

Trigger warning: r*ddit link

Same feelings / background here. Navigation will take me a little to grok, but I’m liking it so far.

Why would it be illegal? It’s shitty and it’s obvious what they’re trying to do, but I can’t fathom what law from any jurisdiction this would violate.

While I love Python, it’s not the easiest language to do high freq low latency work on as I imagine algotrading would demand.

How have you worked around this, if at all?

I can’t find a way to word this that doesn’t sound really aggressive, the question is in good faith!

That side of it I wholeheartedly agree with. Perhaps I’m just deluding myself into thinking technology awareness early on makes for better legal infrastructure to handle its effect on society. I really would like that to be the case.

But yeah agree, “ChatGPT” being synonymous with “groundbreaking AI” to the vast majority of the public (I suspect) is not great from a monopoly perspective.

On the politicians / rulemakers side of things, that may or may not be a good thing tbh. Technology moves so fast and traditionally the aforementioned groups are glacial and can’t keep up, sometimes to the benefit of a small group, often to the detriment of the majority. Having this on their radar relelatively soon is potentially a useful change.
