  You could say the same for the past, we don’t know when dinosaur World War 2 was, perhaps you’ll meet dinosaur Elon Musk and have to talk to him, it’s a hell of a risk.

  I’m glad it was so happy when it died. Doing itsy little walk, my cat does that when he is successfully captured the elusive ball of foil.

  I didn’t actually know there was a film adaptation although it makes sense. I’ve tried reading 1984 a few times and they just can’t get into it, so maybe I should watch it instead I don’t know how accurate to the book it is though.

  Yeah all those criminals in those boats. The flagshagers fear the competition.

  It actually sounds to me like they didn’t learn anything

  Unfortunately the day in their games don’t really have much mass market appeal and they haven’t innovated. They very much make the same game again and again and again and again with iterative improvements.

  As someone who has a muscle car that is loud, if you’re doing what you can to be respectful, then people can just be people and live together and not be Karens.

  So you have a loud car but also apparently been respectful? How can both things be true, either your bothering people at 8 o’clock in the morning with your loud car, or you have a normal car. You can’t have a loud car, but in a respectful manner, because by being overly loud and obnoxious, it is being disrespectful.

  Are you absolutely 100% sure that the people around you don’t think you’re an arsehole, have you checked?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Police seize £200k Lamborghini under tightened antisocial driving laws⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨hour⁩ ago⁩:

  And then we can go after the idiots that by American pickup trucks and try and drive them around the back streets of York.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Police seize £200k Lamborghini under tightened antisocial driving laws⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨hour⁩ ago⁩:

  Well likely to cause really means likely to do again since these laws usually target problem individuals with a history of law breaking.

  All it does is save time, these idiots would get arrested anyway but now the police don’t have to sit a round the corner waiting for them to commit a crimes so they can arrest them.

  You are not supposed to admit to trying to set yourself up as a dictator until after you win power.

  This must be quite a more tolerant region of friends because the the 2 French people I know would have immediately resorted to violence. Totally valid as well.

  That’s not what petrifying means

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon learns about cars⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Just put a load of air conditioners outside.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon learns about cars⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah but there’s a difference between not knowing exactly how a car works and thinking that the exhaust is thrust. You can work that out by just observing a car, clearly they do not have enough exhaust velocity for it to achieve thrust, that should be inherently obvious.

  Thinking the exhaust is what makes the car go is like thinking that the actors live inside your television. Is the thought of an eight-year-old.

  He should have actually resigned when he had the chance. He could be living Florida being ignored by Donald Trump right now, instead he’s facing possible prison time.

  How’s it my job to fix the aviation industry?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sadiq Khan agrees to have his texts and emails searched in Palantir legal battle⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  If somebody is prepared to allow lawyers to search their emails then there isn’t really any point searching the emails since you already know there’s nothing in there that’s incriminating.

  They seem to have got to the stage of the lawsuit where they just start throwing things at the wall to see what sticks, which usually means they don’t actually have anything material to use.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm not sure they will⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  The point is there’s zero error checking.

  Again it’s semantics, but the computer is not making the decision, it’s calculating the decision. The detention is whether it’s deterministi

  I don’t know about that the entirety of European airspace was closed early in the year because of a pilot inputed some malformed data and it crashed both the primary and backup system. The backup system just fed the primary systems inputs into it, so that was inevitable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm not sure they will⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  That would also mean that a lot of “AI” in games wouldn’t actually be worthy of the name. Which actually I agree with.

  To be fair to Trump if all I ever ate was McDonald’s burgers I’d probably be in the same boat.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's porn⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s called meeting him at his own level. It’s not as if nobody knows about all the other things so we can laugh at him about whatever we want and it’s all fine. It’s not like he’s otherwise a competent and thoughtful leader.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm not sure they will⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Politics, same as we do now, everyone complained about politics.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm not sure they will⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  When I was a teenager I used to work at an airport and they had critical infrastructure running on things like Basic and Assembly, to transfer data between the computers and modern systems you have to use floppy disks because the computers that they ran on didn’t have drivers to support USB and we couldn’t upgrade the computers because the software wouldn’t work on any other hardware.

  So the AI laptop will be at home amongst all the ancient but supercritical junk that seems to be necessary to run our world.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm not sure they will⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  AI is such a broad term is to essentially be meaningless. My thermostat does not use AI it uses a very simple algorithm.

  We have a OCR system at work that runs on a Windows XP computer, people used to call that AI until about 10 years ago.

  I throw away the plastic M.2 screwdriver I got with my 250gb drive. Now they don’t come with them anymore and it’s so aggregating, who came up with this god awful attachment mechanism anyway?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Food served to US service men & women.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  That sounds like the sort of food I’d make while black out drunk. Or is some North American thing where the words cottage cheese and gravy mean something different.

  What actually is that first image? It’s gray, what food is gray?
