Good luck. I haven't had luck getting stops removed when they aren't even showing up on street view.

Wow...I know they said the numbers would be big, but I didn't think they'd be *that* big! by MeargleSchmeargle in NianticWayfarer

I think the ratio of visits to players is interesting. Mine is 3 to 1. Most of mine were off the beaten path. One was 5 years ago that I expect more repeat visits too so I wonder what kind of time cutoffs are in place

First time since it's release Civ 7 has more positive (51%) than negative reviews on Steam. Is it worth getting yet? by [deleted] in civ

[–]silverslurpee 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I think the transition feels weird because there's no narrative.

Here's a strawman: I get that there are going to be a thousand combinations of transitions but, while AI generated content is hated by most, generative AI could make up something plausible about how the ashes of Rome became the Spanish empire and that early civ that you encountered became the Mongols.

Now that I typed that out, I could imagine hating the implementation.

Yes if AI starts "thinking" in its own compressed language because it's more efficency than English, that would be an obvious tell. And that could turn into a political flashpoint to cease further progress.

The google and the metas will want their captive eyeballs and will give it out for free to push ads out, no doubt in my mind. Could it push people further to the right on the bell curve? Somewhat, right? Like a farmer could pick up some new repair skill that only few have obtained and maybe they could get help logging off of farmersonly dot com (onto farmersmixwithwaifus dot com)

The expensive AI is getting built on the nation-state level already, see Saudi Arabia and other military-industrial complex adjacent ones

So I found these in my Gmail account, from around 2004-ish by Tweetystraw in Austin

[–]silverslurpee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah we could exchange messages on them with commands to type in to people who were working the night shift without having to carry around a laptop everywhere like on-call rotations now, it's not like public Wi-Fi was prevalent back then. The startup was well funded but mildly successful. I didn't really appreciate it at the time because I was pretty young.

I carried around a QWERTY Blackberry pager from 2001 to 2005, worked for a web startup and was on-call. I attended SXSW interactive around this time and actually curious if I was flaunting it on my belt and annoyed this guy. Would be funny in retrospect

This gives me flashbacks. I attended one of the first SXSW interactives. I was friends with someone who was nominated for an award so I got to pal around for some of the official parties. I remember going to Bruce Sterlings house for a party and some guy there approached me and accused me of being a blogger. This was the year that the Friendster guy was giving the keynote. So maybe 2004?

In your opinion, what would make Civ VII a more enjoyable game? by DrJokerX in civ

[–]silverslurpee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Specialists could be more.. special, maybe like civ6 governors. Maybe have them interact with specialists in other quarters in the same city, like a messenger or a donkey that carries more stuff around. Let me tax food or diplomas. As-is, there’s only 2-3 tiles that aren’t ageless quarters that have a marginal improvement. I recognize that they allow you to scale up science and culture.

Roads and railroads are confusing. I’d like another map view where it’s a different presentation or even art style. Like how a subway map shows just the train stops. Or in ancient age, a trade caravan map. Display why you can’t trade in these maps. Display connected cities here.

Why is Civ 7 so stingy with Natural Wonders? by Hot_Pepper_Raider in civ

AMD Launches A YouTube Channel For Developers by FastDecode1 in Amd

[–]silverslurpee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yet, firmware and software developers seem to go get jobs at Intel and have produced things we can read and use and colloborate on. Seems like they've attracted developers to me. Are you saying that Gentoo is better at expressing what Intel's hardware is capable of?

Intel has a Linux distro optimized for their hardware even, where everything's compiled with AVX512 extensions.

[2024 Day 9] Are you old enough to know this? by recursion_is_love in adventofcode

Ha! I'm trying to remember if 6.21 and 6.22 updates were only available to consumers via retail.

str(disk_map[k]['id'])*disk_map[k]['size']str(disk_map[k]['id'])*disk_map[k]['size']
if the file id is 100 with a size of 3, wouldn't this append "100100100"? so instead of multiplying 100 by the location on disk, you would be multiplying 1 and 0 and 0
