They’re safer than human drivers. Tesla cars absolutely are not. But Waymo cars? They do seem to be.
It’s still early. We still need more data. They should be closely watched. But self driving cars do appear to be safer. That’s why they are a great idea. They are making driving and roads better.
I mean the US is heavily car centric. Self driving cars are an attempt to adapt to what the reality of the world currently is.
We should absolutely be doing things to make cars less of a requirement by improving public transit and creating more livable spaces that don’t require cars, that can even be the primary goal, but it won’t eliminate cars completely, and if it does it will take A LOT longer than self driving cars.
Self driving cars are a great idea, but they aren’t a fix everything solution, they just one part of an overall solution.
Quick edit: Also the cars Musk is developing are not even close to what we need. He’s being deliberately obtuse and creating more problems than he’s solving.
That’s already where I’ve been watching it. Clips pop up, give them a watch if they look interesting, otherwise read the highlights.

Nothing has been announced as far as Baldur’s Gate 4 goes yet. It looks like Hasbro is being a little bit smart and are going to try and make (“make”) a handful of other smaller games, like the recent Warlock game announcement.
But at some point Baldur’s Gate 4 will be announced, but Hasbro isn’t going to be willing to invest properly into it in order to make a good game.
Re D&D,
It’s because Hasbro gutted the D&D division and burned their goodwill with Larian. https://www.pcgamer.com/theres-almost-nobody-left-ceo-of-baldurs-gate-3-dev-swen-vincke-says-the-dandd-team-he-initially-worked-with-is-gone-due-to-hasbro-layoffs/
Hasbro could have done nothing and made a bunch of money, but they chose temporary short term gains. Baldur’s Gate 4 will arrive far sooner than you think, and it will be terrible.
Cruella was a pretty good film, but for a few over the top ridiculous Dalmatians scenes, but it was overall a fun film.
I never saw Maleficent, but it got a sequel, so it was probably at least OK.
A Gaston film, presumably young Gaston film, could be interesting. I assume some percentage of the town he lives in probably worked or had a close relationships with people in the castle. If they just disappeared one day, or if Gaston was brought in from afar to save/protect the little town, there is plenty of room for story there.
For #4 if the Random instance weren’t “new”, then calling the nextInt() function would definitely have side effects, since the next integer would pull one away from the random stack.
However unlike the first three which will run within a consistent amount of time, #4 will take an unknown amount of time to run, so you can’t just collapse it and eliminate the loop.
For example a very simple race game where a participant moves a random number of steps each turn, we may want to time how long that race takes. We can’t just say that they will reach the end immediately. In fact technically we don’t know that they will ever finish the race… But that’s the halting problem and a whole other issue.
No one will ever replace Raul Julia as M Bison.
But David Dastmalchian is a damn good choice.
I liked the movie, but it had issues.
The first half of the film sets up a story of two brothers coming back from war. We learn their backstory, we meet others, it’s got “based on a true story” vibes and it’s well told… But it isn’t that interesting. It’s just setup that you hope pays off later.
Then we first meet the vampire. It’s a weird scene. You’re primed for a realistic story but then the guy is adamant about being invited in, that’s weird. He’s being hunted, that’s weird. And then sure enough, he’s a vampire.
Now the film is interesting. From that point up until the vampires are all (mostly) defeated, it’s a banger of a film. Action. Intrigue. Music. It’s got it all.
Then we have an extra bit of action killing KKK members. It doesn’t really need to happen for the story, but it’s fun action and it kinda wraps around to the first part of the film.
Then we have like 3 endings. The third one is just a bonus, but 1 & 2 leave you feeling differently about the world and story you’ve watched.
The truth is you could cut away about half the film and it would still be a good film. That’s why it feels boring. You need to get the audience into thinking it’s one kind of film, just so you can surprise them with the other.
I do my best to avoid putting toilet data on my hand.

Surprised they are spinning off instead of doing sonic 4 with the girl sonic like is teased at the end.
Don’t worry.
The upcoming “Sonic” entry, based on the Sega video game franchise, is separate from “Sonic the Hedgehog 4,” which is slated for March 19, 2027.
They are. Gotta spinoff fast. :)
I don’t know that I agree. AI will continue to grow stronger and heartier, just like Campbell’s new Extra Chunky™ All Americanado™ Chicken Noodle Soup.
Absolutely.
I’ve seen the Broadway show and when they announced they were splitting the film into two I thought it was a huge mistake. It just seemed so unnecessary. After watching the first film I admit I was completely wrong.
The first film covered the first half perfectly. Excellent story and excellent music. I walked out thinking… Oh shit… What the hell is the second film going to look like?
When you watch the Broadway show you kinda forgive the weaker second half. You judge the whole thing together and it comes out ahead. But if you have to focus on just the second half. If you have to stretch it out to match the runtime of the first… The cracks are going to be obvious and the weaknesses highlighted.
It’s the weaker film, but it’s a fun conclusion.
“Reunion episodes” have been a thing for years. Wikipedia even has a whole list of them.
Originally most of them were just getting the cast back together to talk about the show. The TV show Friends did a version of this a few years ago.
We also got the film or TV movie that revisited the cast and story, usually a few years after the show ended. The TV show Psych did a handful of these.
And of course more recently, as you noted, we’ve started to get the new seasons version. King of the Hill would be a good recent example of this format.
It’s fun to revisit the worlds these shows created. Some suck. Some are great. Some are just sorta in the middle.
To add, give me some way of tracking these collectables.
If I’ve collected all of the trinkets in a given area, mark that area in some way. If there are 100 trinkets, number them and give me a list. Give me a map, hints, thing that beeps, something.
I don’t need any of the above to be unlocked from the start. You can add it in the post game or after I’ve collected some percentage of them or make it a side quest.
It’s annoying going online and someone has posted “I found 99 of 100 things, where else to look?” and basically no one can help them. It’s annoying being that person, to be so close and yet so far.
To be fair I don’t have 100% confidence that self driving is safer than human driving. I just believe that based on the current data, it seems to be. If new data comes out tomorrow, then I’ll look at and evaluate that data.
I also don’t believe that investment is a zero sum game. We should absolutely be investing in both. Both are valuable. You don’t have to only invest in one.
