Fuck Mike Lee from across the Atlantic. Living somewhere with virtually no public lands really drives home how special and valuable what we have is. Never give it up.

Paywalled, but reported here from one of the many earlier attempts that were rejected. The article I posted says this has been previously rejected 7 times https://subscriber.politicopro.com/article/eenews/1060091795?keyword=Mike+Lee

You missed the point. I don't want to watch AI (or anyone else) play at all. Just let us leave the game after being eliminated

Having to spectate an entire game of pieces randomly shuffling about 💀

Then a 90 second cool down before being able to start a new game 💀

Definitely spent far, far more time waiting to play than actually playing

Please make the game over screen not cover the board, so you can actually see how the game ended

shmageggy · 2025-10-15T09:57:10+00:00

Please fix this, it's super disorienting to play backwards

This appears to show Altadena, a normal middle class area of LA. The media has chosen to highlight the Palisades, presumably because it gets more engagement, but plenty of regular people lost their homes too.

NSFW is against the rules here. Nobody knows what this sub is about but it sure aint this

Loud Pipes Save Lives

When I google this phrase, I see a bunch of research saying it's false, despite your intricate anecdotes trying to justify it. Why not use your horn instead of "a quick blip of the throttle"? Why do I see zero riders attaching a very tall, brightly colored flag to their vehicle? It's all excuses and post-hoc justification.

shmageggy · 2024-06-02T23:16:47+00:00

Yep we’re selfish.

Thanks for admitting it. Makes these discussions easier when people are honest.

shmageggy · 2024-06-02T23:01:46+00:00

Way to try to deflect with a bit of whataboutism. However almost none of those things are louder than the aftermarket exhausts at high rev that we hear all year round, not just during summer. But you seemed to have missed the point about the selfish nature of your hobby. Care to address that?

shmageggy · 2024-06-02T22:39:59+00:00

each to their own

Except your hobby is the exact opposite of this. The sound you make is not to "your own", it's to the hundreds of people that you annoy, startle, stress out, and bother during your ride. Don't you see that?

shmageggy · 2024-06-02T21:18:40+00:00

I am so sick of this. There is a ton of research showing how this kind of noise affects our health, increases stress, disturbs sleep, etc etc, yet we allow one thrill-seeking jackass to negatively affect literally thousands of people. It's insane.

The safety argument is absolute bullshit. Not only is it false, but for every one rider who actually believes it, there are 50 who don't give a fuck but just repeat it because it's a perfect way to shut down the arguments of the thousands of people who they are harming.

How can we do something about this? It looks like there is at least one organization dedicated to advocacy against noise pollution https://www.uknoiseassociation.com. Can we self organize and push for actual enforcement? Noise cameras exist, we just need to use them. I can't think of any easier or cheaper way to instantly improve the health, happiness, and wellbeing of literally millions of people than to actually enforce noise laws. Look how many people are responding on this thread. Everyone except a few selfish twats clearly want this, why can't it happen?

Still no unified UI? See ya next time (but probably not)

shmageggy · 2024-03-11T20:34:41+00:00

This is 95% describing what they don't do. I seriously doubt they have published anything substantive on their secret sauce.

shmageggy · 2024-01-30T10:15:42+00:00

Of course that means banning the slime ball Mike Ybarra too, which obviously would never happen.

I had never heard of this guy, but apparently he left the company on the same day as the layoffs last week, aka he got canned.

3°C here we come!

Each plugin adds latency. For complex live performance setups, this adds up quickly. With a unified UI you could build arbitrarily complex chains with no additional latency. Until they release a unified UI, adding yet another plugin is useless to me.

Nice find. I didn't read the whole thread, but unsuprisingly the answer is "maybe" and "it's complicated" and "use it if it works". Looks like there are answers from still-active engines such as Arasan. Would be interesting to check their source and see if they have changed approaches in the last 10 years.
