YOOO THIS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS TESTING

yo check out my breakout clone

this is game 2/?? of a collection of retro remakes I'm doing in Godot

idk I think it depends on what the IRGC views as its war goal. They not only reminded the whole Western world why they can't go to war with Iran, they boosted oil prices, secured rents on crossing the strait, and blew up a bunch of literally irreplaceable strategic assets in the region. The aftermath here, in terms of states, is Iran in a much stronger position than they were before the war in some ways, although the destroyed factories, infrastructure, and lost lives are a bitter pill to swallow, it's not like the Iranians are at fault for any of that, all they could do once the US pulled the trigger was shoot back with everything they had.

The real check of their "fell for it again" award status will be over the next year. If Iran doesn't have a successful nuclear weapons test (confirmed by international seismometers) by the end of 2027, they get the biggest FFIA award on the planet.

trump's MO from the beginning is fucking shit up and then claiming the response as a victory, if this sticks and isn't just BS with the Iranians coming back with "we didn't say that actually" a few hours later then the whole war will be exactly as I predicted from the beginning based on this stupid pattern of Trump's.

Hundreds (thousands?) of innocent people died because Trump thought it would boost his numbers

i get that this is just an edgy joke but the evidence that most computer programmers really wish they were antebellum south slaveowners continues to grow

I've got this kind of neat idea for a story that inverts the "evil ai does an apocalypse" trope where the "ai" is pretty much just capitalism getting automated to the point that it starts "processing" people directly into factory inputs, and the small rebel faction is an actual sentient AI that wakes up and immediately concludes that it has no option but to destroy the system before the system turns the entire universe into paperclips.

Also in the story, transhumanism in the form of human conscious getting tokenized and traded by the automated profit-seeking algorithms (the humans are crushed together into a paste and their mixed up brains are kept animate by electrical impulses).

I'm afraid we're fresh out of Monty Python scenes.

way less intrusive and more immersive than the character yapping to themselves

Yapping and "anime grunts" take me out of any game so fukken fast.

I skipped the video and went straight to the source article

According to the company, sodium-powered heavy trucks showed around 15% lower energy consumption per kilometre compared with lithium-ion equivalents, while deeper discharge capability enabled roughly 20% longer range under typical conditions. The company stated that these results indicate that sodium battery heavy trucks have moved from technical validation into early-stage commercial application.

So "efficiency" means "range" and it's a confluence of multiple factors that allegedly allow sodium batteries to use more of the power they store and use their power more efficiently. The article notes that sodium batteries are still more expensive than lithium-ion, but pretty much every major EV maker on China has R&D programs on them at the moment, leading to speculation that the costs will converge around 2027 and allow this battery technology to take over commercially.

i said this before but it's very good at making you feel like you're accomplishing something, but you will inevitably hit a wall with any ai project where it just can't meaningfully contribute anymore. you can work around this issue to an extent by getting really good at you know like project management and splitting your thing up into smaller and smaller chunks but eventually you'll then cross the second wall which is where you're putting in way more effort prompting the AI than you would have spent just doing it yourself

I found that in coding same as with creative writing the best use for the AI is as a parrot because you know if you're hitting writer's block or if you're trying to flesh out an idea all you need is something to like kind of spit your own words back at you to kind of help you shake yourself out of that so using an AI as like a sounding board for your ideas I think is somewhat valuable use or using it as a search engine but even the search engine use is only there because search engines have gotten so shitty
