I enjoyed Don't Look Up for the comedic pacing mostly. Where every time you seem to get a feel for the mood and direction it has something subversive to throw you off. Definitely could've been less on the nose with the allegory but some people just need some things shouted into their face for a chance at getting it
I enjoyed Interstellar, but I also went into it expecting so-so sci-fi and instead got an interesting story with really cool world building. I guess my expectations for anything space in media are low enough to not be disappointed by most films
Makes me wonder about a guy I knew about a decade ago who would dab like its a nervous tick. Learned from a friend who went on a date with him that he did so even more often after a few drinks
The cursed Will Smith eating spaghetti wasn't the best video AI model available at the time, just what was available for consumers to run on their own hardware at the time. So while the rate of improvement in AI image/video generation is incredible, it's not quite as incredible as that viral video would suggest
Realistically the design goals of a gaming OS vs a general desktop OS aren't that different. You want to balance performance, batterlife/power consumption, and making sure it withstands insane abuse by users and software doing anything you could never imagine that nobody should have ever tried to do. About the only design goal that separates SteamOS from Windows is fleet manageability features
I think you underestimate how hostile the infrastructure can be to anything other than individually owned cars for much of the country. Some folks are lucky enough to have the option of standing next to a sign that's desperately trying to blow away in the wind on a small patch of pavement next to a drainage ditch for the 50MPH speedlimit 100+ foot (30 meters or more) wide road to wait for a bus which comes once an hour give or take 30 minutes
Imagine taking anything other than a car here. And for context, here's a better view of what the surrounding area looks like. Notice the school on the east side of the railroad tracks and how anyone on the west side must use that road (which at least has a sidewalk) to cross the tracks if they're trying to get to the school. And anyone who lives on the east side must cross the same bridge if they want to get to the grocery store
Is Rockford a fair example to pick from? Maybe. Its the 5th largest city in Illinois, with 300k people living in the metro area, but also every person I know who grew up there moved away as soon as they could and generally agrees the place is a shithole, but also I live about 2 hours drive away from Rockford so its a pretty biased pool of people to poll
so you live next to a highway ramp and your work is also next to a highway ramp?
This is actually an extremely common design. Businesses will consider where most of their employees live, and try to consider the commute when moving, so placing themselves just off a highway or major road theoretically makes it easy for their employees to get there. Nevermind the fact that said major road/highway chokes up from every employee commuting to their convenient exit to get to/from work 5 days a week
I'm guessing the trains are in kind of a hub/spoke design and they live and work on different spokes which the transit system isn't designed to accommodate
All thoughts are deposited on a random storage medium and format. So you might receive a 3.5" cassette formatted with ZFS or a flashdrive that must be read by laser refraction (like a DVD)
Can I just say I've never seen this cute photo of him with the little kid. Seems almost intentional that the photo every news source used he isn't in such a pure moment
I once kept opening new terminal sessions then launching a fresh X session while doing something that had a tendency to crash X. I ended up with about 3 crashed graphical sessions by the time I finished what I was doing and actually rebooted!
I'm literally writing this while pooping at a music festival with IRL friends. Most folks are either done with AI or scared of it. Some are excited for the possibilities but must acknowledge it's a bubble
