This is based on a misunderstanding of how prices are set. The price is set based on what the market can bear. Costs pretty much only determine if the thing is worth making, given that.
It’s the same reason rent doesn’t go down when property taxes do. I mention this not to tear you down, but because it’s a common argument for bad policy.
GMO is kind of a red herring. It is often done to allow plants to survive Round Up, which had recently been shown to have toxic effects. There’s also compelling evidence that many people who think they can’t tolerate gluten actually can’t tolerate Round Up.
The genetic modification isn’t intrinsically a problem, but the chemicals that plants need to be modified to tolerate are.
After going in suspicious, this actually sounds like a pretty decent idea.
The technology isn’t stopping or going away any more than the cotton gin did. May as well put control in as many hands as possible. The alternative is putting it under the sole control of a few megacorps, which seems worse. Is there another option I’m not seeing?
I did. I’m not convinced the author knows the space very well though. There are larger models out there with similarly absent safety features. This isn’t a remarkable release, and the tone is of ragebait.
Guardrails are a term of art for something like Nemo, which is more like the unreal ramen shop demo or a corporate chatbot. Most raw open models I’ve tried will tell you how to make meth if you ask them.
It’s a 7b model. There are plenty of other larger open source models out already. I fail to see the issue.
I’m not sure, but what are the wheels mapped to? Are they scroll or mouse x/y/something else?
I once used it to throw an unreachable chest into a chaam out of spite…
If you haven’t played Inscryption, just ignore everything else and do that first. It’s the most innovative deckbuilding game I’ve played, but saying more would spoil it.
Ascension is a short-ish one I’ve sunk a lot of hours into. It’s sort of like dominion meets Magic. The expansions make it a lot more interesting, but the full package is pretty cheap. It was designed by an MTG pro player who was sick of exactly that.
Black book is excellent, and managers to put a compelling narrative spin on a TCG.
Monster train is a good “it’s like slay the spire, but not slay the spire” option for when you just can’t look at another shiv.
I had one option for a backpack skin available from the deluxe version (don’t judge), but that was all so far. I haven’t finished any major quest lines though,
I’m for defederation at least until instance blocking is available. I’ve already blocked most of their communities from my feed, but comments have been really unpleasant since they federated.
It’s not really about the ideology as much as not wanting to have to scroll past endless political bickering. Rage addiction is real and contagious.
I think they made the right call too. It’s better for almost everyone. A lot of flight sim types are also techies, so I bet the mods will bias that way.
I’m having a great time, but I also love FO4 and No Man’s Sky. The toe-dip I’ve done into colony building shows that they put real thought into Astroneer-like automated manufacturing stuff, which is my crack, and something I missed in NMS and FO4. It’s also clear from the first city that they know how depressing FO4 is, and wanted to add more variety.
Story and characters are a cut above any other Bethesda game so far, but that’s not saying much. My wife is replaying BG3 next to me, and it makes Starfield’s writing look amateurish by comparison. It’s not the core of the game though, so eh.
Downsides so far have been that the minor planets/moons don’t have much to do, and that inventory management is annoying with how much crafting components weigh.
Ship combat is… Fine. It’s not as intricate as Elite: Dangerous or SW:Squadrons (for sim gamers, weapons are all on REALLY forgiving gimbals, which makes precision unnecessary), but not actively bad like NMS VR. I think it’s a good compromise, because not everyone wants to deal with a realistic sim in what is essentially a minigame.
It’s also complex, which is good, but adds some awkwardness to the beginning.
Love that cozy sci-fi. The Last Gifts of the Universe was also really good. Mostly a story about people in space.
Scorn was worth a shot if you’ve already played Soma and RE. The mechanics are… Fine. The art is jaw-dropping. It’s like Amnesia if H. R. Giger had been the art director.
This is a great example of why downvotes are so important.
I just have a motion sensor in a hallway his zoom pattern follows. It’s not between the bedroom and the bathroom, so it would only trigger with the cat or a burglar (the automation is inactive during the day).
I’ve got a few fun ones:
At night, my cat sometimes gets the zoomies, so I have a projector pointed at a wall with a motion sensor. When he goes on his tear through the house while we’re sleeping, the projector turns on and plays a video of strings moving on the wall. This tires him out without him screaming at us to play with him. It turns off again after a few minutes with no motion.
The lights and Roku screens in my office are on a motion sensor, but are also linked with a seat sensor so they don’t turn off when I’m at my desk. Sitting at the desk also sends a Wake on LAN packet to my computer. Sitting at my electronics workbench changes the lights to bright white with another seat sensor.
Lights (HA), desktop wallpaper (with Wallpaper Engine), and in-computer RGB (using OpenRGB) change from blue/pink during the day to dark red/orange at sunset so being in my office late doesn’t mess with my sleep.
A macro button next to my keyboard disables my screens and turns on a fan pointed at my VR area for workouts.

The last time I went to a doctor, they read a list of questions from a form, entered my answers into their system, and then said they’d get back to me in a couple weeks to tell me if my insurance company would allow a follow-up. That appointment should have been a web page.
Most doctor’s appointments I’ve had recently have followed the same pattern. A good doctor is invaluable. A burnt-out noob doctor following strict procedure is like a worse GPT that your have to meet in a building full of every conceivable virus, and that costs $500 instead of $0.05. A motivated layman with GPT4 and a prescription pad would have beaten 3 out of 4 doctors I’ve seen since covid.
This is just my experience in the US mind you. Maybe I’ve had bad luck with humans, but I haven’t been impressed since all of the experienced ones retired.
