The article references a clip from that channel that was uploaded in 2019 and taken down via a DMCA claim in 2022.

Closely linked thematically, Pushing Daisies. Both are very strange and great.

Incredible performance from the lead. At times he had me in pain from laughing, other times from cringing so hard.

This is the British meaning of surgeon, so just general doctor vs. doctor who cuts people up.

A police surgeon is a doctor trained in forensics. They assess injuries after an assault, whether a prisoner needs medical attention, etc. They are often a normal operating doctor who does police work when needed.

Nah. They are detecting the collision in order to push the player, so the engine is doing the work already. They could easily add an on_collision_player event in the NPC controller that fires at that point to handle NPC reaction.

The age of the engine impacts things like loading screens, poor use of modern hardware, etc. The 2004-era NPC handling is simply a reluctance to do any more than the bare minimum.

It sounds like a link can be a file path and clicking the link just opens the file. If that’s the case, this is effectively the same risk as filesystem shortcuts.

Yep. Lovely reading font.

I love Linux Biolinum for reading. It’s a ‘humanist sans-sarif,’ which means it designs letters like a serif font but with less little bits stuck on.

XDC Vs. Arm Ant! Only one will surviiiiiive!

They claimed both were gang members. Their logic was as follows:

1. The lady was involved in an assault, clear evidence that she is a criminal.
2. If you are simultaneously Venezuelan and a criminal, you are automatically a member of a specific gang.
3. The guy is involved (romantically) with the lady, extending her criminality and gang membership to him.

Not only is this batshit to begin with, she was the victim of the assault that is the root of the logic chain.

The problem with translating classical RPG combat into an FPS is that the game already has physical missing based on player skill. The dice roll stacks on top of that. Add in the total lack of communication on whether a miss was you or the dice, and it makes the player think that the hitboxes just suck.

Later games that do something similar tend to move it to the enemy, giving them a chance to parry for reduced damage. It’s mechanically very similar, but it feels way better for the player since they can see the hit still connect.

The food service staff all go through e-verify, so the government already stated they are authorized to work.

ICE won’t care.

Zerzan appeared interested mainly in the quantity of regulations that AI could produce, not their quality. “We don’t need the perfect rule on XYZ. We don’t even need a very good rule on XYZ,” he said, according to the meeting notes. “We want good enough.” Zerzan added, “We’re flooding the zone.”

They are going for more regulation. If I had to guess, probably to flood federal courts with cases, hoping that they are too overwhelmed to stop anything important.

How do you block firearm parts at the printer level without analyzing and judging the files a user provides?

Even if this was possible (it’s not), most printers don’t have the kind of processing power needed to reverse slicing back into the solid object so that it can be compared with banned parts. They’d either have to put in much larger computers and spike the cost per unit or do it server-side and be always-online.

“Forever. be forever” Trump said about the deal. “That’s better than the Obama deal with the famous Iran nuclear deal, with a nine-year deal. No, this is forever. This is long-term.”

What an asshole. Blows up a significant measure in limiting the spread of nukes, then acts like it fell apart on its own.

As far as I can tell, the frog incident was not real-world. It was a police department vetting a system by doing fake test stops. They did one with Princess And The Frog playing in the back seat and the transcription system interleaved the traffic stop and film dialogue, then took that at face value for the summary.

System still sucks, but at least they were testing before blindly relying on it.

A throwBACK as usual, I see.

These are all public companies. Roblox is RBLX on the NYSE. It hit an all-time high of $141/share in September, and this infographic was probably produced then.

It’s now back down to $80/share, which is $56.8 billion in market cap.

Combined Arms just got a big update!

If you want something that isn’t trying to be mid-90s and you like rogue-lites, Rogue Command is really good.
