or they could work to project completion and not add new features.

The engine is C++ and the game code is C#.

Godot is a great example. The vast majority of the code you write is single function, callback style procedures. Rarely are you creating a hierarchy of class interfaces or dealing with a large multifaceted infrastructure. You are writing what can be done in pretty mundane python.

Rather, C# is there to grab the Unity community and they only really use it because idiomatic Unity may have bigger projects creating engines. C# still follows the HelloWorld complexity property of programing languages.

I think that is probably due to the places where it shrines isn’t often a FOSS area. All my corporate use was for these massive windows applications. FOSS many times are small teams making very targeted solutions. Aside from Android, it feels like Java programmers are picking java out of personal skill. I don’t known what apps I use would be a good target for C#.

It was all ad based, just you could pay it forward to the site themselves. The problem was that this clean generate any money due to no click through and the target audience wasn’t marketable.

while I hate ads as much as everyone else what do you propose funds all the sites people use that are high in operating costs? I doubt many people will pay five bucks a month for every site they use. The internet will just be more retro, which I think would be fine.

I just think it includes Musk. He’s an absolute dipshit, he isn’t some mastermind pulling the strings.

I agree. But the major difference between Trump and Musk is that Musk has companies that are actually doing well because he was able to pick them up when they were heading in the right direction and allowed more competent people to actually do the business stuff. SpaceX does well, he has other people doing the real work. Twitter is a failure because he is doing it all himself. Tesla is only falling apart because Musk is getting in the way.

If he’s bribing political scientists to say what he wants, I wouldn’t exactly call them legitimate.

I’m saying he can actually hire people who are extremely good at this field of work. There are highly skilled economists and strategists and speech writers and analysts that will work for him if he pays them well enough. He can fund the whole political scene if he truly wanted to. Trump wants power and he only gets it when the Republicans are running the show. If Musk wanted to treat politics like how he “runs” SpaceX then he could do damage. But what we have seen so far, like in Wisconsin, was Musk treating it like Twitter.

Trump won just fine without Musk before, so why is Musk suddenly vital?

He is vital because Trump loses after he gets elected. He is a shit president and a shit business man and he is only good at playing up his abilities. We are seeing just how bad of a leader he is and the polls are showing that people are getting pissed off at utter lack of “winning” Trump always says we will have. I think Trump is going to need money and social media to make sure the Republicans don’t lose the midterms as it could instantly make him an impotent president if there is a big in a year and a half.

But even more vital is how soon that fear starts to creep in for the Republican Party. Right now they are being told not to have town halls because everyone is out for blood. Once that sets in and they start realizing they need to change Trump is going to start losing control. For the House to right the ship would mean pushing back on his insane ideas. Musk can make that happen really quick if he wanted.

Yes Trump has a following and is a force by himself. But Trump can’t carry the entire Republican party. We saw it in all the races he tried to sway besides his own. With his current poll numbers and the Republics not doing anything to fix all this chaos, Trump isn’t going to be able to keep midterms going his way by calling all the candidates stupid names.

I’m saying that Musk provided funding to make sure things finished the way they wanted party wide. If Trump pisses off Musk enough with a fraction of 1% of his worth he could take out any Republic midterm contest. Musk can find legitimate political scientists and fund them to swing a lot of elections. Where as Trump seems to only be able to find the most incompetent to work for him.

i miss my phone that also had FM radio built in.

because Musk was the financial force behind Trump winning. The fact Musk could completely take over all of the ad space on TV and social media and still be the world’s richest man is something Trump knows. If Musk wanted to primary a ton of Republicans he could.

yeah i think Trump is afraid of Musk. So far he has not said anything negative about Musk, hasn’t said he was fired. Trump just keeps bending over.

And don’t forget, their sales numbers are down world wide so much of his bad press is just about him being a Nazi and what not. That doesn’t go away when he leaves DC.

When your boss takes a vacation it’s not in your best interest to yell obscene remarks as he drives away.

I believe the term is pulling an Elon

US News puts the average cost to be $300k. So yeah, a bit off.

The thing is, for some, logic itself becomes a threat.

THIS is exactly why religion is dangerous. When one starts to have questions about logic and rational thinking it bleeds out into the rest of their lives. This generates antagonistic behavior towards science, medicine, and education. The push back on the threat, and the support to do so within the community is so subtle in the beginning that it doesn’t seem absurd from those in religion.

For many Romans it was less effort than Roman gods required. There were some other benefits but really it was Constantine that got Christianity from a million followers to the dominant religion of the Mediterranean and Europe. Then shortly after that the church got power hungry and the really bad stuff started happening and no one on the outside was safe. About 400 years give or take.

That is a modern scenario where picking one’s religion may not result in death. Go back just a little over 100 years and you’re going to run into relgion not being an option one gets to make their own decisions about.

But then I’d ask how do you outlaw human systematic consumption of information. The camera on my car cant watch 24/7, then why should YOU be allowed to watch 24/7? What you’re outlawing is the literal methodology.

This has always been an issue with my thoughts on AI. If the computer became sentient does the LLM learning rule go out the window? or is it because they are made of metal?

Their hooves are creepy when they are born.
