I've used TH72 a bit. I'd describe it more as shock proof than flexible. It'll certainly make your miniatures robust, but it's nowhere near as soft as something like TPU.

it's pretty good for things that I can eye scan and verify that's what I would have typed anyway. But I've found it suggesting things I wouldn't remotely permit to things that are "sort of" correct.

Yeah. I haven't bothered with it much but the best use I can see of it is just rubber ducking.

Last time I used it was to asked how to change contrast in a numpy image. It said to multiply each channel by contrast. (I don't even think this is right and it should be ((original value-128) * contrast) + 128) not original value * contrast as it suggested), but it did remind me I can just run operations on colour channels.

Wait what's my point again? Oh yeah, don't trust anyone that can't tell you what the output is supposed to do.

I'm not even mad at the employers to be fair. The problem is that so many jobs are just busy-work that exists because as a society we can't imagine decoupling labour from subjugation.

Yeah. That's the problem. It doesn't seem to be that they didn't do the work, it's that they did other stuff too.

The article doesn't say anything about productivity or targets. They got as much done as someone who manually wiggles the mouse while thinking instead of going for a walk while thinking.

Notice how this doesn't even have anything to do with productivity. These people were fired purely for having the gall to not respect office hours regardless of the completion of tasks.

There are sections of both the right and the left that have anti-authoritarian tendancies.

The libertarian right tends to view things purely in terms of government over reach, whilst the left tends to view things in terms of the power of capital.

Leftists saw Facebook pushing propaganda for the highest bidder, Reddit trying to be safe to sell to investors and twitter basically becoming a project to reflect Elon Musk's personal opinions.

Out of that came a bunch of attempts at creating new social networks. The right wing attempts were not cognisant that the aforementioned were the natural result of trying to get rich off it, while the left attempted to make it impossible to get into that position.

Solar panels on cars are thought of the wrong way. The responses in this thread really demonstrate that.

It's true that they're kind of pointless on EVs, because they're never going to supply enough power to not need a proper charge, which makes the panels redundant.

Where they could be useful is hybrids, sold as something that makes the engine 10-20% more efficient.

I don't mind if indie devs try something experimental that melts your computer. Like beamNG needs a decent computer but the target audience kinda knows about that sort of stuff.

The problem is with games like cities skylines 2. Most people buying that game probably don't even know how much RAM they have, it shouldn't be unplayable on a mid range PC.

I can think of a few games franchises that wouldn't have trashed their reputation if they'd have had an internal rule like "if it doesn't play on 50% of the machines on Steam's hardware survey, it's not going out"
