Elon’s stupid ass dedication to using cameras and image processing for self driving will ultimately be what leaves Tesla in the dust. A combination of LIDAR, cameras, and other detection tools are way safer than just cameras alone. I’m not a huge Mark Rober fan but he did show that you can beat Tesla’s self driving with Looney Tunes techniques

Remember, when someone asks what would Jesus do? Flip over tables and kick out all the bankers is an option:

and Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves, and said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.

People don’t know/have forgotten that the Democrats really pushed the moral panic around violent video games and music. Both Joe Liberman (Al Gore’s running mate and promenant senator) and Tipper Gore (wife of Al Gore) were leaders in pushing for music/video game censorship

You ever see someone living your dream and think “damn, I wish I was a raccoon?”

God that is my mother. Even worse is that she makes up/ignores rules if she doesn’t think it makes sense, which, spoiler: is all the time. Because she won’t read the rules. Yes, you, a 64 year old woman who can’t operate a remote, know what would make a game more fun better than the PEOPLE WHO MADE THE GAME 🙄

Doing a lot of heavy lifting there

A huge point of I, Robot is that there isn’t some exact instructions you can give robots that will have them always protect humanity. They have an inherent danger in their literalism

I’d like to share your optimism but I think we’re going to be hearing about him for the rest of our lives. Reagan has been cold in the ground for 2 decades and I still hear about his bitch ass all the time

I appreciate trying to save resources here, but Americans are way too fucking stupid for that to work, amid a myriad of other issues I see with this

How long it lasts as a usable token of trade

So it’s still worthless. Genuinely, what can a penny purchase? A nickel? A dime? None of these coins can buy something individually, and a large chunk of the population doesn’t carry them because the utility they gain for having exact change is less than the coins are worth

To be clear, I understand the coins vs. bills argument, but I’m personally in favor of cutting all coins up to the quarter. Or cutting all coins except dimes and half dollars, but dimes are annoying coins

Well you see one device is made by Microsoft which has been the defacto way to watch videos for a large chunk of its lifespan and the other gave us UMDs and camcorders with cables that could only connect to Vaio laptops, which were the only devices that supported writing to mini-disc

I would not recommend PS5+Plex. I went through the whole set-up and the PS5 couldn’t encode over half my videos. When playback did work it was often choppy. I dislike that it has ads all over the place but the ONN Streaming Pro does a way better job as Plex streaming device at $45 than my PS5. Plus the controller will be much easier for simple tech users, you can rebind one of the buttons to go directly to Plex

2nd pro tip:

If you’ve never attempted this before, when someone is pointing a gun at you is probably the incorrect time to try it out

A connection to young people

You’re putting words in the mouth of someone uninvolved in the conversation. Hank Green wasn’t in anything you posted and you’re slamming him like he is. I posted evidence in contradiction of your baseless statement

Truly, what the fuck are you talking about?

I find it weird you’re criticizing Hank Green in your comment but use 2 links that don’t directly reference him at all and in fact the 2nd link uses AI generated art and summaries of the article. Hank Green has had a varied and nuanced take on AI that largely lands on it being a negative for society

Here’s him calling it a bubble: https://youtu.be/Q0TpWitfxPk

I don’t think my family had Netflix when we had my Wii so that tracks that I don’t remember it. Couldn’t the Wii only output 480p? I bet that was a bad viewing experience

I’m trying to remember my old school DS and Wii days. I remember both having a web browser and both being particularly bad at playing most videos. What Nintendo consoles have had a dedicated YouTube app? Have any had a streaming app?

I know Xbox and Playstation both tried to turn your console into a home entertainment system, I always assumed Nintendo was consciously not doing that to their consoles

That is indeed what Randal concludes in the video
