I don’t understand why bubbles with seemingly random positions was chosen to represent this data.

As cars become more autonomous, it leaves room for you to do other things. So why not add something to let you work out while driving? Like a cycling machine or treadmill which generates power to drive the car.

It feels like a good amount of effort. I appreciate that.

Also bottle caps sucks

I kinda like the pocket version so far. Even though it has obvious tactics to ensure that players log in daily to avoid the FOMO on free packs, as well as tactics to push microtransactions. I haven’t paid a dime for the game, and I consistently finish collecting all the top meta decks within a week or two of each set release. If you want to stay on top at all times, I guess you’d have to drop some money, but it’s absolutely not required.

Pokemon TCG Pocket is a decent, light weight version of Pokemon TCG, shrunk down to fit mobile units and shorter battles (i.e. only 20-card deck, 3 points to win, no prize cards, energy gets generated 1 per turn instead of using cards).

As a previously big MTG-player, PTCGP feels pretty good, though it’s nowhere near the complexity and deep game which MTG is.

I escaped when they killed their API.

“so if I capsize on your thighs, high tide, B-5, you sunk my battleship.”

I love that part.

Sure, I accidentally use AI and LLM interchangeably. But I believe the point still stands. If they were asked to trace the source of the price difference, it likely exists within layers upon layers of training data aimed at maximizing profits, and it would probably be impossible to give an answer as to what data has been used to produce the result in the long run.

I have predicted this for a while now. As this will take effect, the airline no longer have responsibility for what sets the prices. The AI could for instance become very racist, driving prices through the roof for colored people if it somehow determines that well-paying racist customers will pay more to fly with only white people. Several scenarios like that could unfold, and since LLMs are basically impossible to get the source values for their decissions, no one can be held responsible for such choices.

Oh, and I’m sure the data from 23andMe will be abused soon to ensure that only healthy people get good prices. The personal data which “didn’t matter that we shared” is about to unfold.

Could also be done recursive, I guess?

boolean isEven(int n) {
  if (n == 0) {
    return true;
  } else {
    return !isEven(Math.abs(n - 1));
  }
}

Norwegians complaining/bragging about high alcohol prices is basically a meme. But it’s true that prices have shaped the way we treat going out and partying. BYOB is fully expected at private parties unless anything else is announced. People rarely head out to nightclubs without being properly boozed up from a preparty at someones home. A store bought 0.5L beer could be as low as $2-$3, while a beer at a bar or a club is expected to be ~$12 at a very minimum, but typically slightly above $15.

…yes? Is this not common?

I found it to be tense and interesting while playing. But looking back, I can’t really put my finger on what made it that way. I swam around and gathered resources to build boats, make food and fresh water - I can’t really ser what the big drive was. But I certainly loved it enough to finish it, which is rare for me regarding most games.

In Norway. Technically in a city, but it’s very rural. About 30 minutes of walking with a descent of ~150 meters. Carrying groceries back up that hill is a big test of stamina, so we very rarely do it. We mostly drive to the store.

Your friend is full of shit. 3km is a very long distance for walking to get groceries, and I can imagine that you have to deprioritize heavier groceries all the time due to that distance. I’d recommend getting a bike or electic scooter or something to cover that distance. Basically no one in Norway would have 3km to their nearest store with walking as their only option.

I think you might be mixing up with the skateboarder.

As a Norwegian, how can I support?

My experience is from Norway where the taxes on the rich is balancing on a line. A lot of rich Norwegians have already moved to Switzerland to avoid annual taxes on their wealth. I would expect to see something similar if USA introduced reasonable taxes, unfortunately.

But could this really be done? As far as I’ve understood, billionaires typically don’t have a billion liquidized and ready for spending. Rather, their value is distributed in ownership of several companies. How would the 100% taxes on ownership in companies be applied?

Don’t get me wrong, I would love to see it work, but I feel like it’s a lot more complicated than stated. And if a good way of applying those taxes would be introduced, I’m sure the billionaires would either find new ways to make the money untouchable or personally move to a country with looser tax laws.
