    Yeah you need a deep contextualized understanding of the user plus strong understanding of facial clues. All of which is process intensive but not too distant in the future. Google and amazon already know me pretty well just to give me better ads, adding a few more layers to give me emotional...

    Sounds like people hated the trailer and liked the presentation or whatever.

    I climbed higher on the spectrum watching that vid. If i was gifted one it'd get trashed in an autistic rage.

    In a dream world they'd make EQ open sourced and port it to unreal or unity. Would never be more profitable than the slowly dying cash cow it is now though.

    The astonishing thing about those robots is how low the tolerance is between them. I bet there is some driver for that besides efficiency / space but man you could decrease the number of grid cells by 1% and double the tolerance between the robot rails. Finding out they collide and blow up is no...

    Not really digging the art choices they made, and when all that's demonstrated is art, that's not a good sign.

    Here's to hoping the next expansion elites balances the scales so my favorite class is unfairly OP. I'll take fairly OP too

    i don't know why so many people say weaver is fragile. I do feel like i have to work hard for moderate dps tho. Condi eles in the harder PvE content have to spec Vipers in order to really satisfy their role as DPS, which drops their survivability significantly...

    Skyrim

    That or there are many original games being released and many remasters/sequels because both are profitable. If you find yourself only playing remakes and are annoyed by it, you just played yourself.

    It's more likely that NASA will put out a request for proposal to enable a mars mission that just so happens to align with what is feasible from spacex. This isnt as incestuous as it sounds and is very common and practical. This is doubly true if spacex carries the entire Artemis program and it...

    Yep. I think most of the time we don't care because anything we've been is technologically eclipsed before the techniques are lost. Apollo is a huge exception because of how artificially motivated it was. All other huge progressions of tech like atomic weapons, the internet, the automobile...

    3 key differences: 1. SpaceX could be funded without the US Gov, so the worst they could do is tell them no. 2. If all those bureaucrats assailed SpaceX, once the dust settled they'd still #1 in terms of cost/safety for launches. 3. A lot of this is congressional-backed, in that different US...

    Not really plausible. Musk could crash a starship in Manhattan and take down the freedom tower and we'd still keep spacex rolling.

    Would be super interesting to see how well Starship can deorbit with a bunch of botched tiles

    I wonder how many of those tiles were basically trash tiles they threw on because they didn't want to waste new ones or something. I also wonder how much they were directed to yeet those bitches on ASAP and not try to triple check that they were properly fitted.

    Can't kick out the sls without kicking out starship, making the graphic historical instead of forward looking. I'd actually prefer if new glenn and other rockets that won't ever launch were added.

    Watching Starship dethrone Saturn V just makes me appreciate how amazing of an achievement it was. Other than some obscure building techniques or lavish use of expensive materials I can't really think of anything else humans made better in the past that we haven't surpassed by now.
