I’ve seen some things suggesting they’re testing it, I’m not seeing that they’ve deployed anything.

Honestly, I’d expect AI to make the same mistake as their current systems, though, for a similar reason

You’re talking about a few different things, here.

• AI could potentially use that info, yes. Teslas don’t use AI to drive
• Self driving cars do have the potential to be significantly safer, this is true. Telsa’s cars, through a series of missteps, are not anywhere near that potential, and in fact are hazards on the road. This is bad for developing true self-driving cars!
• The only obstacle to progress being discussed is covered by a picture of a road…

“Hey, are you in-office today?”

Been asked several times as a newer employee on a hybrid schedule.

Also gives them a polite heads-up to expect a visitor.

Human drivers can pull in environmental and other cues though, like “why is there daylight on the road inside a building?”

Isn’t Brit a British term originally? I’d guess that’d the reason it’s considered different

Isn’t the next line usually: “And then he picked up his hammer and saw”

Hah, I debated saying something about that, but decided that was a separate conversation

Thanks! Wish I could remember where I saw an animation describing it this way - it was some educational software from the nineties, I’m pretty sure.

Yeah, this seems more like marketers worrying about leaving money behind.

Any game where I can stop and think for a moment will work perfectly fine when I’m retired, from factorio to final fantasy.

A bit late to the party, but I’ll try anyway!

So, first, speed is distance over time. Miles per second, kilometers per hour, whatever.

Consider a person rocketing by a planet in a little spaceship at a good fraction of the speed of light. To amuse themselves, they’re bouncing a ball between two paddles on opposite walls of their craft. The ball describes a path like:

O--------O

–O----O

-----O

Of course, to a person on a planet they’re blasting past, the path looks different - the ship moves a long way between each bounce, so they see:

O----------------------------------O

-------O------------------O

----------------O

The thing is, both of these are correct from each point of view - from each reference frame. For the shipboard person, the ball moves the width of the ship, and for the planetside person, it covers the distance the ship traveled in the bounce (plus some for the width).

Now, swap the ball for a photon, which always moves at the same speed. The distance the photon travels from the two points of view - the two reference frames - is different, so the time component of the photon’s measured speed must change as well because the photon’s speed remains the same! Each side sees the photon moving at the same speed, despite the difference in distance traversed each pov sees - which means each must also have a different measurement of the time involved!

So, time is compressed on the spaceship relative to the planet - from the ship, the planetside observer is moving very fast, while to the planetside observer, the space pilot is moving in slow motion. The speed of the photon is universal - it’s the distance it travels between bounces, and therefore how long it takes to bounce, that differs between their perspectives.

I’m also curious what you ended up with

Sure, but this is Lemmy!

Goes on the bottom for that bite!

We once accidentally got a jar of crunchy peanut butter instead of smooth - didn’t check the label. Neither of us had time to go back to the store, so we decided the hell with it - put it in the blender, we’ll make it smooth.

Whipped peanut butter is amazing!

A bloody mary involves neither blood nor, in most cases, any Mary.

…toaster waffles? I’m trying to imagine unhinging my jaw enough to manage three full-sized waffles stacked…

Whichever one I want to taste more of on the next bite goes down!

Does nobody else flip their sandwiches over periodically like this?

Solo RPGs have been taking off for the last several years, but one area I don’t see getting much attention is superheroes. This makes some sense - how could you account for what bizarre ability someone might think up?

So, I’m taking a slightly different approach. - using a choose-your-own-adventure approach, let the players have more narrative control, and the system responds based on a situation’s general outcome, rather than choice by choice. The players get a general description of a situation, including any specific or general difficulty modifiers (and the group determines which ones apply), as well as any does or complications. Then the players decide how they use their abilities to address the situation, and roll to see how they did. Depending on what they tried (and how well it worked), they turn to another paragraph to see how the situation changes in response. For instance, when encountering a villain, you generally have options to try to quietly find out what they’re doing, try to prep an ambush, or confront them - and after, you have different options based on whether you drove them off (and whether you pursue), turned them, were beaten, etc.

I’ve been putting a starting adventure together based on Mutants and Masterminds’ “The Silver Storm” adventure. Most of the bones are there (around 30 pages atm), I’ve got a few paragraphs left to fill out and some sample characters to put together (so the players don’t have to generate their own if they’re in a hurry), and I’ll be ready to start play testing! (Okay, I’ve already been play testing, but I’ll be ready to test more!)

How are you all tracking what you eat? I’ve had some success with doing that before, but I did it with menu management that I can’t pull off easily now. Still, I feel like just knowing where I’m at each day would be helpful for me.

Is there any information about exercising in the cold vs when hot?
