Just another episode of Pog & Dar: Cop Landlords

This is really good!

One thing that stands out to me on the reverse view - other than the Roger Rabbit tire, of course - is the shame of the roof as you move toward the front. The front view seems to suggest the slope comes down to be almost parallel with the ground, while the reverse view suggests it points up like 20 degrees. I don't know which is ground truth for this model car, but I suspect it comes close to parallel with the ground.

I can see where it looks like you made changes to the front height of the drivers side window. It's possible you went a millimetre too high or so there.

But that's just nitpicking. Again, it's a really great sketch.

GM: "You experience bij."

Edit: You'd think I'd know to check what autocorrect does to what I type by now.

I'm not sure why you're pulling drinking straws and shopping bags into this. The move away from plastic straws and bags has nothing to do with arguments around carbon. That's all about sea life, microplastics, and single use plastics.

You're just injecting "Fuck the turtles in particular" into this for seemingly no reason at all.

Yeah, I'm wounded by the ~~commission~~ omission of Cape Breton. But I think it's just that there's nothing dubious about our islands.

Edit: Sausage fingers and rogue autocorrect.

People spending more time with fewer games is not a reason, in publishers' minds, to reverse course. It's the intended outcome.

Having the same number of people (or near the same number) playing fewer games, and filling those games with monetization features is cheaper and easier to maintain than having a broad and growing library of titles.

Remember, the ideal for publishers is to have one game that everyone plays that has no content outside of a "spend money" button that players hit over and over again. That's the cheapest product they can put out, and it gives them all the money. They're all seeking everything-for-nothing relationships with customers.

He was "forced" to buy because he, uh, signed a contract saying he would. I'm sorry, but "voluntarily signed a purchase agreement" is only "forcing" if you believe people above a certain wealth level can do whatever the fuck they want with impunity.

He could have backed out and paid the fine he agreed to pay in the case he backed out, but he didn't want to do that, either.

He's not being investigated by someone else.

He can't win because he's a fucking idiot.

Being able to identify the characters might help some, but otherwise no. It's a two part capsule episode

Essay Tea, eh!

It's not "deal with" so much as "stop causing them".

Wow. I was kinda tongue-in-cheeking it there, because I genuinely thought I was misinterpreting/over-simplifying the OP, but they really are trying to sell "it didn't discard this data we explicitly fed it" as some kind of big deal.

I was expecting this to be more like them discovering that regional dialects exist or soemthing dumb-but-not-that-dumb.

So, what's going on here, in plainer language, anyway? Are they just including location information in training data and then, totally surprisingly finding it again in the output data? That's kind of the sense I get from the post here, but I'm not sure if I'm misunderstanding.

Or did they just cluster the data and squint until someone said one of the graphs "kinda looks like it lines up with a Mercator projection"?
