Detective Pikachu.

It was a very unique take on Pokemon. Some of the designs looks odd in live action 3d, Mr. Mime comes to mind lmao, but it was so cool seeing how humans and monsters work together and are integrated into an urban setting. It’s something the games touch on a little, but something Nintendo/Game Freak don’t seem interested in animating in any interesting way. (That’s not a dog at the battle system not being animated, which is a totally separate topic.)

Seeing Loudred (I think it was Loudred, not Exploud) as a DJ while there was a fucking cage match was sick as hell!

Reboot already has a grim dark season where Bob dies and Enzo becomes more scruffy. Yes, it’s still ultimately a kids show, but it is much more dark comparatively.

You’re right right to push back on that; here’s why –

Yes, they are.

Is there some benefit Delta V wise to having a lunar or orbiting lunar base perhaps?

Yeah, I mean, we do send robot rovers places. Which I guess is similar in some sense.

For me it’s the constant pressure to deliver more and with shorter deadlines while still being held accountable when things inevitably go wrong.

Go the Oceans 13 (12?) route and just be like “You look like Julia Roberts.”

Unless a movie says a character’s name A LOT I will forget it. I’m so so bad with names. But I hear actors’ names all the time. It’s that simple. If I remembered the characters’ names, I’d use them. I suppose also for more obscure movies that I like, I’d probably use the actors’ names if I think other people don’t know the movie.

Yes, but that’s generally a bad thing that the majority of people want to avoid. If someone controls over half of the mining pool then you have bigger issues.

The irony is that phones are capable enough to do things, but they lack admin privileges despite being a device you own.

I think they’d find 4k OLED TVs impressive too. Maybe generative AI. A lot of other things like Bitcoin, eh, whatever.

The problem of enums in other languages is that they do not make for a distinct type. They are just integers in a name. Or at least that is the case for C and Java enums.

This is not the case for Java enums.

Edit: oh wait, that’s not a vowel

It’s honestly hard to say. It’s very impressive what AI coding can do, especially in the past year, but all AI companies are not making a profit. They’re effectively subsidized by investors. They’re focused on growth. At some point they’re gonna need to make a profit, they cannot continually operate at a loss and focus on growth. In fact, when Microsoft started charging properly it was such a massive deal that they called it the tokenpocalypse.

Honestly, I hate to say it, and I’m not trying to be a tech bro, but I think AI is here to say. What exactly it looks like long term, it’s hard to say. I can say this though, knowing how to program will make you a better vibe coded (I feel dirty saying that seriously). So even if AI becomes the norm, you’ll be better positioned if you know what you’re doing.

When things turn though, it’s impossible to say. It could be in the next year, could be like five years out. It could be that when you’re done with your four year degree, they’re still out here doing this “AI is gonna fix everything and we don’t need junior devs” song and dance.

TL;DR: AI is not profitable now so will get more expensive meaning they’ll have to use it less. Either way, knowing how to program without AI will make you better at programming with AI.

No SecureBoot or TPM

Lovense already does this to an extent. It’s not like it mocaps lol but some semblance of interactive, physical sex over the Internet is possible today.

Barring environmental concerns, no, I don’t think so.

How about the opposite form of nostalgia?
