Yeah, one-hole boats seem like it'd take away what little "strategy" there is in this game. It's pure randomness whether you hit one, and as soon as you hit it it's over.

I actually see it as weirdly counterproductive. When bioplastics degrade they release their carbon into the air as carbon dioxide. Whereas a properly landfilled piece of plastic takes its carbon permanently out of circulation, it's literally sequestered.
Landfills get a bad rap. When they're done right they're a clean and reliable way to deal with waste. They're just easy to get wrong if you don't care, and they look so unphotogenic it's easy to campaign against them. But one of my favourite parks is a former landfill done right, aside from the occasional monitoring well scattered around the place there's no way to tell what it used to be.
Indeed. This "GitHub is owned by Microsoft, therefore evil lurks around every corner" thing has been going for many years now with no sign of the promised apocalypse and no real reason to expect said apocalypse. Back in the day I used to do a lot of modding for an open-source game and almost all the mods were hosted on GitHub, but then when Microsoft bought it about half of the modders threw an ideological fit and moved their mods to a wide scattering of other hosts. It made everything so much more of a hassle to fork and submit issues and whatnot, I'm sure it's done more harm to the project than anything Microsoft would ever do.
Yeah, people who can vote but don't are implicitly voting for "whatever everyone else thinks."
It's interesting how AI is the thing that caused so many people to suddenly go "wait, I actually love it when the government tells me what I'm allowed to do with my computer."
Modern LLMs are trained on highly curated and processed data, often synthetic data based off of original posts and not the posts themselves. And the trainers are well aware that there are people trying to "poison" the data in various ways. At this point it's mainly an annoyance to other humans when people try.
Again, they are not universally enforceable. There are plenty of jurisdictions where they are not.
Which company us "the AI company?"
One wonders if a similar meeting was once held regarding the Warsaw Ghetto.
The enforceability of EULAs varies with jurisdiction and with the actual contents of the EULA. It's by no means a universally accepted thing.
It's funny how suddenly large chunks of the Internet are cheering on EULAs and copyright enforcement by giant megacorporations because they've become convinced that AI is Satan.
If it's paywalled how did they access it?
It absolutely baffles me how states are able to botch executions like they're doing. I've had many dogs over my lifetime and sadly that means I've seen many of them off to the rainbow bridge at the ends of theirs, and there's never been a botched euthanasia. I guess vets are just more professional and compassionate than these executioners.
I oppose the death penalty universally. But I've long argued that if you absolutely must execute someone and must avoid the messiness of exploding their brain for instant painlessness and reliability, then nitrogen gas asphyxiation is probably the best way to go - completely painless and incredibly hard to botch. Just flood the room with nitrogen gas, how hard is that? It's a common industrial accident. And yet there was a case recently where a state tried nitrogen gas asphyxiation and the monsters somehow managed to botch even that.
