But not consistent state. The pipeline still needs to exist because most games require objects and environments to stay consistent across play sessions. That means generating from a 3D skeleton, at the very least, if not relegating genAI to

Oh no, I guess someone will be going to jail! ...No? Then, uh, a punitive judgment? >Small fine that amounts to a cost-of-doing-business. Ah. Hm.

Neglecting black education was a political decision with an economic component, in that it helped support the system of slavery, and later kept jobs that required education segregated. Siphoning tax dollars from black communities to use els

Your selfishness is not equal to my desire for common prosperity. If anything, lone wolf-ism is what drags us down (no matter how proficient the wolf thinks he is). We live in a society.

I was (and remain) a few bad breaks from his situation. I'm not responsible for his state, but we absolutely are peers (i.e., same age, facing the same broad socioeconomic environment).

Hoity-toity campuses are actually more efficient than every little prince getting his own personal tutor. The problem in both cases is that the parents of these children, as a class, demand the income and social infrastructure necessary to

A few Baltimore schools had to close down a few years ago because they had no working heat/AC. Asbestos is an issue. As are pests. It's not that it was uncomfortable to be in some of these buildings, it was literally unsafe. When

This is a common misconception. The high per capita funding is partially due to required emergency funding of repairs resulting from deferred maintenance - both in the literal sense, and in reference to the hollowing out of the city's

As someone who was in the 90th percentile, I can confirm that it wasn't a universal quality about my entire being. I got to be in higher-level courses where I excelled. Those are generally available, even in public school systems. And

When my car broke down in the middle of a DoorDash run, I walked to a nearby park and sat next to a homeless guy who was about my age. He was deaf; we talked via text on our phones about how we'd ended up on the same bench, and I share

>I am pretty sure that it is a political goal not an economic one, this is obvious considering US black literacy levels took until 1979 to be comparable to whites. I don't follow. 1979 would have been a high point in closing the bla

This seems like a suspiciously bold statement. Both in the assertion that these groups had achieved universal literacy, and in that other groups hadn't been at least as literate. Japan comes to mind, wrt the latter. Literacy, if not un

Yup. Newer products use various tricks to try to fill in the gaps that their physical reality can't overcome, but ultimately there's no getting around that reality. I will say that the Sony upright boom boxes aren't to be sle

Oh, I'm sure it's even fuzzier than that. Apple's cachet over the past 25 years was built on the type of class consumerism that reflects and then amplifies a lot of America's particular brand of social dysfunction. Much

It's been a few years since I worked at [big tech retailer], but 8K TVs basically didn't sell at the time. There was basically no native content - even the demos were upscaled 4K - and it was very hard to tell the difference betwe

It is. The coffee supply chain and economic exploitation of caffeine dependency are considered locked-down enough to tolerate, though (as with alcohol). The problem with many illegal drugs isn't their physiological effects so much as i

Kim also subtly represents a flavor of (classical) liberal populism that is at odds with the neoliberal empire-making much of the ultra-rich engage in. Both make the bulk of their money by exploiting resources that they have a dubious claim

I think it's a bit much to say that there's no advantage to being German, either in today's world or historically.

It's a fair comparison. Daniel Penney too. The main difference between the four parties is who killed people who'd killed others, and who killed people who hadn't actually done anything.

Yeah, it doesn't have to be centralized. I watched aghast at the narrative building around the Trayvon Martin murder in real-time across Reddit and The Website Which Shall Not Be Named. No one was giving marching orders; it was just a

It makes the incredulity over the recent unpleasantness all the more... something. What world do you have to live in NOT to see the rationale? People have set themselves on fire over causes they felt passionately about, to get essentially n

Unfortunately, the monetary and political interests in security theater became entrenched after 9/11. I'm afraid something similar might happen to trains eventually, if they're ever used in a sufficiently theatrical instance

I'm not sure what this has to do with American train travel, since it's all within one country (and, generally, one company). It reads as a rationale for why it couldn't work here, except that none of your issues apply to us.

Kind of sucks for your guts, though, don't it? Bile is corrosive, that's why reflux is an issue and digestive tablets that contain ox bile shouldn't be taken on an empty stomach. Not fun when it reaches your bowels, either.

I've always joked that Sayonara Wild Hearts is a dimensional incursion from a reality where the Feel The Magic DS games never stopped coming out. It's interesting, the way influences collide in new works. https://imgur.

There have been several AI short film festivals, as well as several AI music videos that have been produced. The caveats are that quality varies, the best ones simply employ solid production in general (good editing, strong directorial visi

I dislike the term "prompt engineer," particularly if you're not setting up systems on a technical level. And it's still artistic, without necessarily making prompters artists. Because the process is one closer to curati
