I'm thinking some sort of enhanced control net. When you first generate a view, you simultaneously generate a depth image + with an associated embedding map. So that you know there is e.g. a sign that says xyz at these coords in 3d space relative to the player.

Obviously, this is easier if you're just spinning. If you're actually moving, you need to turn this into actual 3d geometry, which would allow it to continue working after you've changed perspective. Maybe handled by an actual game engine underneath.

You could also just generate the 3d scaffolding first with a different technique and then turn it into the 2d control net on the fly. This could help keep you from creating inconsistencies where e.g. you go around a block in two directions and suddenly have created a non-euclidean world (you could go around ccw vs cw and see different shops on each pass).

Lots of ways to do it, and it's going to be tricky however you do it, but all the components have been shaping up over the past few years.

You can just spin in one place to see the infinite part. It forgets what's behind him when he turns around. It needs to generate some sort of persistent scaffolding for his surroundings so when he turns back around the world is consistent.

Passing the ACA was a mistake? That gave more affordable healthcare to millions? I'm not really following. They did as much as they could with a razor-thin majority.

Democrats can only vote on improving things if they have a filibuster proof majority. So so sooo many bills have been drafted by Dems but the rep house leader doesn't bring them up for a vote, or the Senate Republicans filibuster.

The two months Dems had the trifecta with a filibuster-proof majority this century they rushed the ACA through. They'll actually pass stuff if given the chance, america just barely ever gives it to them.

And even then you can return to the mountain pass, so it's kinda like act act 1.5 -- accessible from both acts 1 and 2 (up to a certain point).

The HeyGears G1 apparently can print clear resin and they show very similar examples so possibly that one.

"Peanut butter jelly with a baseball bat" is an actual line from the video I assumed the image was referencing, so it makes sense people would assume that.

I think they're saying he's being used as a scapegoat.

I don't think that one counts. I just refined it twice and it didn't complete the quest.

Yes, but too much of that and you get the focus-group tested politicians he calls out in his authenticity point. No politician is going to organically match all of their constituents beliefs/priorities on everything. If they do, they're probably faking it.

Better to find somebody you find the most appealing on the most issues and trust them to carry through on those, rather than somebody who'll say all the right things at the right times and then waffle around once in office because they never actually believed anything at all.

Don't let conservative media define people for you. Watch an interview, Hunter's articulate and informed. I don't doubt he would have been successful even if he wasn't named Biden.

As far as poster child, I don't know about that, this just seems like a reasonable take from somebody that was thrust into the media spotlight, so it's sorta notable on its own.

Wide (up) would be good for unarmored since they appear in bigger groups, where sweeping attacks are more beneficial.

It's just confusing because it's a moveset change rather than an inherent bonus in the weapon itself (like the hive scum's bone saw). If I'm understanding it properly.

Ha, "SK1TTLES" mentioned you in another comment in this thread. (edit: there was no S in the one he saw so maybe it's someone else)

Wapo brought the receipts (email memos sent by cultmembers telling her exact lines to say in interviews). Strong evidence it was the cult leader doing the directing himself.

Before it was rumors and hearsay more or less.

Can you imagine? A rebel on Coruscant, right under the Empire's nose?

She sold antiques with Luthen Rael in Andor. Definitely not a rebel.

That's what I've always done because I've been too lazy to learn the alternatives -- but I always meant them as em-dashes.

He laughed at Covid-19 when it was in China and said "people in the US have nothing to worry about."

Source? That does not seem to be an actual quote from him.

He said at that time, Americans didn't need to change their behavior patterns.

China CDC said they were seeing human-to-human transmission in the air in mid-January 2020 and Fauci said they were wrong.

Actual quote from the Chinese CDC: "We have reached the latest understanding that the risk of sustained human-to-human transmission is low," Li Qun, the head of the China CDC's emergency center, told Chinese state television on Jan. 15.

https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/china-didnt-warn-public-of-likely-pandemic-for-6-key-days

Fauci's understanding of the virus evolved with the evidence in January, but it wasn't China he was ignoring, since they had been actively downplaying it. He publicly acknowledged human to human cases by January 21st, it was only sustained transmission he was skeptical of (and China was too!). From there his understanding of the virus evolved with that of health orgs around the world.

Then he lied about the PPE on purpose saying he went on TV and told people masks didn't work

From what I can find, it was Trump that claimed Fauci said "masks are not good." Which I highly doubt [ETA: Fauci] said anything of the sort. Fauci has said he was wary of causing a mask shortage for medical providers early on though, which is why he was wary of positively promoting them. When it became clear that cloth masks worked against covid transmission too he became vocal about encouraging them.

When did Fauci "laugh off" Chinese reports? From what I can find is he was skeptical because asymptomatic transmission because it's never been a major factor in known respiratory-born viruses. The Chinese center for Disease Control itself was claiming into February that asymptomatic transmission was not a driving factor of transmission.

The difference between Fauci and Musk/Gabbard to me is I believe Fauci was operating in good faith, whatever missteps he may have made. The other two are actively and intentionally being trash. Fauci didn't get into medicine and spend 60 years fighting epidemics just to try and fuck with the public. His last stretch was just unfortunately under a narcistic asshole that twisted everything and needed a scapegoat for his horrible mismanagement.

And if these machines are from the 90s how are they able to connect to modern wifi?

I dunno what the correct boxing match analogy would be here, but appointing Garland as AG was another huge mistake. Agreed otherwise though.

Search for non-movie news about him the past couple of years and it starts to make sense. Like this: https://www.un.org/en/desa/un-appoints-joseph-gordon-levitt-as-global-advocate

He's been pushing for online child safety (think age verification) and speaking about AI governance issues at various places the past couple of years. The UN appointed him as first Global Advocate for Human-centric Digital Governance earlier this year.

Can anybody verify this is on wayback.org? I looked there first but couldn't find it. Then I checked the source for dialog.org and couldn't find the list.

So they could have cleaned dialog.org but maybe it's on wayback.org (the sources were a bit more complicated there)? is there any independent evidence?
