Unfortunately, the gap between what people make, what peopleneed to survive on ramen noodles and a closet for living in, and what people need to be able to save up for retirement, not just now, but when they are ready for retirement when inflation has vastly devalued their savings, is a very big gap. Only the most successful and lucky individuals get to retire at a reasonable age. The rest are work until they die poor. This was not true of the older generation, who had more buying power out of the money they made, but true for almost everyone that’s first entered the workforce after the 1990s is facing this problem.
- Comment on Realistically, what do people plan to do on the Moon and Mars that requires a permanent, or long term human presence there? 1 week ago:
Unfortunately also true, and more likely than the Star Trek optimism answer.

Science doesn’t really happen if we continually ask “Why do this?” Science happens when we ask “Why not do this?”
If we want to be a galactic civilization, we must first learn to live on worlds otherwise uninhabitable. The engineering challenges we must overcome to make that happen will give us the knowledge and experience we need to make it possible to expand past our solar system. This is a very long term advancent, and what we do today is what our offspring will do with ease.
Other than political roadblocks, the final roadblock to galactic expansion is FTL travel. We have theories on how to make it possible, but we are limited to the engineering and knowledge of our time now. Far future generations will be the ones to discover if and how to make it possible, but they need the foundational knowledge and experience of how to live in space.

The un-conspiracy-pilled response:
The CEL (Check Engine Light) comes on when the engine computer detects an error in the data from one or more of the engine’s sensors. It can be something as simple as the engine is stalled, or you forgot to tighten your fuel cap, and it can be something as severe as engine knock/misfire (typically the light flashes at that time), catalytic converter meltdown, or some other major hardware failure. Use any scan tool to check the codes, then lookup the codes to see what they are. It’ll give you a good idea of what is wrong with the car. Sometimes its a corroded sensor wire, sometimes the sensor has gone and disintegrated itself, sometimes there is a hardware failure in the engine and the sensor data is abnormal because of it. Use the Torque app and a cheap obd2 reader compatible with your car, or a dedicated code reader / scan tool from the auto parts store. You can also reset the light with the tool, but if there is an actual problem it will show up again after a bit.
- Comment on Over 85% of Japanese game developers use generative AI in game development, 2026 CESA survey shows. An increase from last year’s 51% 2 weeks ago:
Maybe they have high standards for what they generate, use the models as “fillers” or “finishers” (broadly adding details or patterns to a base sketch, then touching up on any errors or ungeneratable details), or rely on models they’ve vetted for consistent quality? I doubt they’re all using a piss filter chatgpt text to image gen.

Ah, Mr. Beast… I didn’t know he had a book. I remmeber his vids. They were algo-hitting “do crazy stuff” survivor-like videos, along with philantrophy vids. Dude’s got issues, but rarely do you get a youtuber that’s super popular and isn’t a problem offscreen.

Ah, yes, someone’s made a business out of hunting for dmca violations… using an ai based watchdog… and because dmca is “shoot first ask questions later”, that makes disruption easy and remedy hard.

I see both ends irl and online. Sometimes it feels as much a political issue as it is a technological one. Some models are quite useful. A lot are not. When the bubble implodes, the winners will rise from the ashes of the fallen. Unfortunately, we’re all caught in the crossfire of both the explosive speculative growth and the oncoming Great Depression 2.0…

Sulphur Nimbus did this in a way. Little indie game. Fly all you want, but you need speed and space to fly. It gets harder to get in the air in tight quarters, which is where the platforming comes in.

Spyro better fly unrestricted now that the trailer’s advertised it.
