When the lore is harder to follow than the boss's attack patterns

Surprisingly, we’ll prove that standard scientific tests are not powerful enough to determine that the dice are unfair while playing a game.

Here's a casino cheating consultant explaining how casinos check for loaded dice. (The rest of the video is also really interesting!) You spin the dice. Balanced dice spin normally, loaded dice spin in a lopsided way.

Except for when glibc updates and breaks games with native support (but not the ones running through a compatibility layer). Although that definitely happens way less than devs purposefully pushing changes that break on Linux.

The industry is completely different now. The original was made in the 80s when programmers were hard to find and it took 10 of them 2 years and a million dollars to make. Then physical cartridges needed to be made and distributed that only ran on specialized hardware that also needed to be made and distributed. It selling for the equivalent of $180 could be justified since it was niche technology. There's a reason Biggie Smalls brags about owning a Super Nintendo and a Sega Genesis in a rap song. That shit was expensive even in 1994.

Today, someone can make Super Mario Bros 3 in a month after watching some game dev tutorials on YouTube, upload the .exe to Steam, and sell limitless copies to anyone who owns a computer. Selling it for $180 would be ridiculous. There's no reason tech today should cost the exact same as it did in the 80s.

The ethics violation is definitely bad, but their results are also concerning. They claim their AI accounts were 6 times more likely to persuade people into changing their minds compared to a real life person. AI has become an overpowered tool in the hands of propagandists.

My understanding is German memes are often written in broken German on purpose as some kind of meta joke. It might be trying to learn English to understand "I can haz cheezburger?" memes

I've only ever seen his tweets and people quoting him in articles but watching him speak for 7 minutes is eye opening. I cannot follow a single thing he says. It's just a non-stop stream of consciousness rambling with an occasional "hail hilter" and "I sucked my cousin's dick".

Trump has claimed a few times that, in order for cars to be approved for import in Japan, they must be able to withstand an impact from a bowling ball without denting. It's not a real thing. When the White House press secretary was asked why Trump made up such a weird lie, she said it was "obviously a joke".

She was likely against the somewhat liberal views of Pope Francis, like how Christians should be kind to gay people and refugees.

Couldn't they just rate limit requests like every other API?
