As long as they follow OPs premise. There’s been lame US remakes of good movies where they could have just watched the original with subtitles. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, for example.

Yes! Then Battlefield Earth!

Yeah, whatever happened with that stuff again? Did we just move on?

It’s a good thing to have statistics and understand the mechanisms that cause addiction. Better late then never.

I thought he ordered them to stop polling presidential approval?

Did I get this right: Country waging war calls a union warmongers for not waging war together with other country waging war?

First is a crime against the common folk. Second is a crime against other rich people. There’s a difference!

I hung soo much on Get that azzhole?, a site with a huge collection of user-made cars for GTA1. It wasn’t easy to find the URL back, but I got it through the equally retro-looking https://www.lnkworld.com/.

I just put rectangles on like 6 blocks and got about 26% street area, then figured many places had bigger blocks or narrower streets. The area is measured by extensions -> measure path.

I measured the area of the yellow area in Inkscape. It’s 30% of the image. The streets are roughly another 20% (and many of those are just circling the parking lots).

So we could pack almost twice as much stuff into this image, and therefore reduce average travel times by … 30%? Depends on how densification would happen.

We got from feudalism to capitalism. It’s not inconceivable that socialism will be widespread in 100-200 years. And I predict that as a minimum time to fulfill the premise of the title.

Same. I tried really hard to learn it but gave up in frustration. 5ish years with plenty of computer use later I suddenly found myself typing without looking.

IIRC tax reasons made it very much smarter to buy a Tesla in Dec 2025 than in Jan 2026. Norway has had a drop in sales, but stuff like this skews the numbers.

“Gonna buy a nazi mobile yet?”

“Nah, I have ethics.”

“They will be more expensive next year though”

Runs to the dealership

I deleted (not deactivated) my account back in 2014. In 2022 I tried logging in and found my profile exactly as I left it, nothing gone…

I would watch the cybernetic olympics.

Yes. I haven’t cried in about 20 years. Tried my best at my dad’s funeral. I don’t have a story that brings sense into it, it’s like I just grew out of emotions.

I’ve been thinking about this in the context of research project applications, which often have to be dozens of pages long and every sentence perfectly formulated to show we are competent and tick all the boxes. Now we can just have AI do it. I’m waiting patiently for people to realize this and start an era of post-perfectionism.

I want my applications to be like this:

“So we’ve published some papers in clay chemistry now [1-4], and lots of things have been done by others lately [5,6], so i was thinking i could work together with Mike Hunt over at University of Stoneworthingtonham to expand those ideas and also see what happens when you put the clay in an oven. Could we get some cash for that?”

(Instead of putting the same thing into an AI and have it write it professionally)
