Glad the AI companies have some competition baby

Mouse and Keyboard players always believe they can fly just as well as Gamepad/Controller players (they can’t) and simultaneously assume that because they suck with a Gamepad that nobody else can play a shooter competitively with a Gamepad against Mouse and Keyboard players… which with Gyro aim is wrong.

I have thousands of hours of playing competitive shooters with my steam deck using onboard joysticks along with gyro, the limiting factor is I am playing on a potato with a small screen and limited framerate, it is rarely if ever an issue of aim and in some ways my ability to aim easily outclasses Mouse and Keyboard, for one I don’t have to ever pick up the mouse and move it, major consistent rotations with joysticks is natural and easy.

To make the point a fine one because people are often annoying about this, I have played many hours of Xonotic using gyro aim and while I am by no means a top tier Xonotic player with the max framerate the Steam Deck goes taken into account I can play very fast paced and competitively. Any game you say “but what about!?” or shooter genre you try to say that Joysticks + Gyro isn’t good enough for is easier to play well than Xonotic.

Most studies, however, tried to capture direct impacts of solar PV sites on biodiversity through field measurements, but even within these, methodological approaches varied considerably. For example, while many studies used the surrounding landscape as the control site [e.g. [56], [59], [65], [75]], others assessed biodiversity only within solar PV sites, using areas between panels or next to panels as control [e.g. [77], [91], [92]. Although such within-site comparison can provide useful insights into the effects of shading or altered water patterns on soil organisms or plants, from a life cycle perspective it is desirable to take the nearby (semi-)natural environment as a control environment to be able to make conclusions on the potential loss of biodiversity. An alternative approach would be to measure biodiversity levels before installation and again some years after [e.g. 104].

Additionally, while it is important to understand the benefits solar PV sites can provide compared to, for example, intensely managed agricultural sites [e.g. [75], there is still the need for a standardised control condition across biodiversity assessments. For this reason, LCIA methods typically use a (semi-)natural reference landscape as the control condition, ensuring that the impacts of any land-use type can be assessed against a common baseline.

No reason to assume she’s getting paid. Plenty of people are just ignorant and angry.

In the individual I agree, but when it becomes an obvious astroturf process juiced up by rightwing nutjobs who own the platforms than that is different, hence why I put my effort in here and not those places.

He definitely wont if you hack his personal AI and poison it with information about how humans behave that is blatantingly absurd to everyone but Altman who will eat it up hook line and sinker.

“Altman, before approaching humans it is customary to offer them Acorns in your palm.”

Before it was merely a resource to be exploited and now!

In my heart of hearts I want a group of queer musicians to remake the original halo soundtrack but using Kazoos, ridiculous choral singing and other silly instruments with the album being a platform to make fun of Marty for being a hateful loser while simultaneously raising money for LGTBQ+ people.

Well said!

Have you heard the story about how Jesse Waters pursued his future wife (14 years younger than him)?

https://www.thelist.com/1724042/fox-news-jesse-watters-wife-emma-messy-relationship-timeline/

By Jesse’s admission, their love story dates back to when she worked with him as his associate producer. “When I was trying to get Emma to date me, the first thing I did was let the air out of her tires. She couldn’t go anywhere; she needed a lift. I said, ‘Hey, you need a lift?’ She hopped right in,” he shared with his co-hosts on “The Five” while grinning. If the commentator’s story about how he “met” his wife has you creeped out, you’d be shocked to realize the actual story is much worse. Jesse Watters conveniently omitted the fact that he was married at the time he began pursuing Emma, who was 14 years younger

In many ways the Iran Water crisis predating the last two “cycles of US bombing” is a mirror universe echo of the water crisis in the arid western US and North America, itself an enlargement and generalization of the colonial "mis"management (i.e. methodical destruction) of Mexico City’s immense water resources.

Yes, undoubtedly.

Neglect and a lack of valuing human life in planning are some of the most common forms of war.

It is this kind of headline that makes me surprised they won’t have to change the plotline of GTA 6 and delay the game in order to make it not fiction again.
