They’ll never get a better opportunity to end the series for good on a high note…so some C-suite exec will inevitably force them to pick it back up again.

For a while, Mission Impossible kept getting better, but Dead Reckoning was absolute dog water and it killed all my interest in the franchise forever.

I agree it didn’t suck, but in addition to not being the movie people wanted, it also wasn’t good at the thing it was.

I’d be shocked if it won any razzies given the stiff competition, but that doesn’t mean making it was a good idea.

I once watched a 20 minute video on how in order to compute trajectories for the rocket launcher in the original doom, they did some of the most advanced math I have seen in any context to avoid doing any division which is computationally expensive. How the mightly have fallen.

I just inherited a Python repo where every hundred lines or so, they added a ^L. What is a ^L? you ask. And I say that’s an excellent question. You see, a ^L is an ASCII standard for saying that if you print the plain text, you should split the content onto a new page here. That’s right, for years, a team of people strictly enforced that they consistently add ^Ls everywhere in case someone wanted to print the entire fucking repo onto paper.

It’s an invisible character, it took me quite a while to figure out what it even was.

That’s Disney’s tell, it works every time. The director of Tron Aries has made an entire career off of shit sequels for dead Disney franchises.

Something this graph doesn’t include is there was way more content. Everyone put their stuff on Netflix, and it wasn’t a revolving door of awful Netflix originals.

There’s a first time for everything. I have a hard time imagining that the next Monsterverse movie will offer anything interesting.

In Godzilla, there was a solid 5-minute parachuting scene. It was visually striking and deeply unsettling. I can’t even remember an interesting scene in New Empire.

I prefer Rust.

The voice actors for The Finals are completely made with AI, there is no real actor behind the scenes they started from.

That’s not really what you had in mind, you’re probably imagining a live-response model, but it is something that’s happening now.

Many people mix him up with Dean Kamen, who actually invented the Segway.

Is this some sort of Arch joke I’m too stable and usable to understand?

Finance bros who run wall street are all idiots, so they designed a system where no matter how stupid they are, they’re always right. If you get a bunch of finance bros in a room and give a really good sales pitch, your valuation can triple despite nothing real actually happening.

In the case of AI, even the foremost experts are uncertain about how useful AI is. Qualified people disagree and no AI based tool has really proved itself to be robust, but it is amazing at fooling people who are either dumb or willfully ignorant, so it’s like crack cocaine to anyone who works on Wall Street.

This can only be “normalized” in the same way that gambling can be normalized. You can also write an article filled with testemonials of people who want to elaborate on the positive sides of gambling. This is an article of someone under financial strain being roped in to spending hundreds a month that she’s hiding from her husband. It’s an unhealthy addiction and should be discussed as such.

Not to diminish the fact that that’s not how rm works, but that’s also not how anything else in his tweet works either.

A boolean, so 8 bits of freedom to fill up

Alright everyone, you know the drill! Let’s all get too excited and start listing features we expect this to have that would be impossible to actually deliver. I’ll start: HL3 is gonna have space battles where you can open up your cockpit and use your pistol if you get close enough.

At time of writing, the top posts on this sub are about meta’s influence over politics, the enduring value of physical media, someone made an art gallery in doom, and Meta’s lack of censorship and how that affects minorities. This community is absolutely on topic discussing technology news and if you think otherwise, you are being absurd.

If you’re looking for articles about how some university claims they’ve invented a new battery 1 million times as powerful, stop diluting yourself. “Corporate shenanigans” of big tech companies IS TECHNOLOGY NEWS. Any statement to the contrary is pure hallucination about a world that never existed.

Interesting how they just casually state that they have full access to his chatgpt history. This case is a speedrun of all the ways cops can jump across ethical boundaries.

But like…what’s the real bug?
