It’s worth noting these companies try to capture & record every inch of a city before entering the market there. Without these models the vehicles would drive significantly worse. This isn’t really a scalable business model from what I’ve read

People accused MKBHD for “killing” products with his reviews. Both cannot be true

I think it was pretty convenient for the specific use case of discovering an article you want to read later on an e-reader. Or so I hear

Huge +1 recommendation for Manic Miners. Functionally a 1:1 remake with everything you could ask for and more- lots of settings, remastered levels, and a level builder. The (solo) dev got hired by Lego’s video game division afterwards

You can certainly remain silent and ask for a lawyer if you’re a U.S. citizen. Here’s a good resource

any of the thousands of games that predate “the cloud” or games that don’t even have a save feature.

Well sure, but those games were all made with that specific context in mind. You don’t simply start over BotW each time and have as good of an experience, because that’s not how it was designed. You don’t design 25+ hours worth of content for a campaign and expect it to be fine for players to lose their progress. This is a portalable gaming handheld we’re talking about. You can drop it. You can lose it. Spills happen. SD cards get corrupted.

Besides, if you’re not paying for the service, you’re the product not the consumer.

It wouldn’t be a problem if it wasn’t a walled garden. Forcing payment for a basic feature plus not allowing any alternatives is classic anti-competitive behavior.

Lack of free cloud saves is a non-starter. Why spend hundreds of hours on a save that can be gone at a moment’s notice?

Assuming they’re not qualified is a form of implicit racial bias

I don’t think this includes the engine

That’s what most people said about Trump in 2016.

How is it an alternative?

Unless there’s something I’m missing, your response doesn’t seem related to the original comment

More information just came out that forced his hand

Generalizations aren’t productive

Only if it increased by a very large margin like a DDoS attack

The sell is a screenless phone with an AI assistant

I think you might be onto something. A research paper or thesis, when boiled down, is just a product. How the product is made is difficult to determine, and there’s an inherent incentive to make it the best product by any and all means. But if it were instead a process that was facilitated and had to be done in-person, that can be controlled more tightly

That’s exactly right. Even if we made an AI that could give us the perfect solution and had accurate projections to back up its assertions, inevitably we’d reject it because we wouldn’t trust it fully. It cannot fix the often selfish nature of humans

There was a 2018 Netflix special as well

Choosing Michael Ian Black for this is… a choice. Seems like he’s been losing fans left and right over the years with his aggressive political brigades on Twitter
