OK, it was falling with style. :)
I don't think you watched the whole show. The third stunt was taking off from a stop to jump over some vehicles. So it did gain altitude in the air alone.
And the same question was answered in the opposite sense in section 4, in which adding a colored background was deemed not to affect the data/ink ratio. ... Mumble mumble metric vs. target. Data/ink is a useful thing to…
On the planet we have tremendous radiation shielding. The van allen belt and the atmosphere, to start with.
Hostility might be a feature for someone who is (or views themselves as) in an "in" clique. But it's poison for the long term health of the game, because it discourages most participation. The only ones attracted are…
It should be possible to respond "I don't know". When you really-really don't know, it's unfair to get a 1/4 chance at right anyway, or even better if you use routine multiple-choice tactics. I got credit for a few that…
The know your meme page on it is extensive. My distillation is: Mogging is behaving as though you expect everyone is going to think you're great because of how you look; in particular that you think you look better than…
Candles are pleasant light, in a way difficult to acquire with other lighting types. That means there's a niche in which that facet is more valuable than the other technologies. I had candles at my dinner table last…
You, sir, are evil. I mean that in the most complementary of manners.
Got any links to that conversation? Sounds fun.
That's what struck me, seems kind of apropos.
Try 'Beyond All Reason', a passionate FOSS recreation of the core of Total Annihilation. It's got really decent naval combat, with a distinct feel compared to the land and air.

I think it's a cultural acceptance of lower quality, happily traded for deft execution, over and over. We're better at encapsulating lower-level complexities in e.g. bridge building than we are at software. All the…
I understand your point; but against it I lay the truism that every time a retail investor trades, value is destroyed. ;) My own personal financial history has been more damaged by actions taken, than by forbearance and…
Ahh, we can all buy the farm together. ;) I've been watching my investment accounts, particularly the TSLA fraction, and see-sawing between "This has got to collapse soon, I should..." and "You cannot time the market,…
One of the important roles of the Palantir was that they were scrying devices. Sauron gained some influence over them warped the impressions of those who used them, by affecting what they could and couldn't see. It was…
Do you really mean that it's very nearly the same thing "To be a" you, and an Elon Musk, a homo sapiens infant, and an Orangutan? And only modestly different from these to be a dog or a horse? If I've understood you…
Jerry Pournelle wrote about this, I think I recall reading in USENET; how with the burgeoning availability of media, the role of the editor, the curator, would become critical. He thought well and deeply about the…
And Allan Mallinson's series about Matthew Hervey adds another branch of the military. Post-napoleonic, but a fascinating trip through colonialism.
Why do you think this excessively verbose bit of LLM vomit contributes to the conversation?
It's been a LONG time since my latin. But doesn't the active vs. passive capture the distinction we're talking about in English quite well? A reflexive action is taken passively, without thought. A reflective action is…
FIGHT ON! ;)
I expect that a dozen humans coming to Calibre for the first time would articulate at least a half-dozen mutually conflicting perspectives on what would be "intuituve". I further expect that each of them would be mostly…
Performance art?
