> Of particular note is the “remux” community, dedicated to seamlessly stitching together the best video and audio streams from different releases without any generational loss of quality.

That’s not what “remux” means. A remux is the original data from, for instance, a Blu-ray disc, transferred into a new container without re-encoding. What the author is referring to would be called a “hybrid remux”.

i would genuinely rather read the rough draft before it got turned into this slop. it would be messier, maybe, but it’d have actual human insight and direction.

care to elaborate?

it doesn’t even need to be particularly fresh. for the purposes of this map, it could update just once or twice a decade with no real value loss to anyone using it.

I always read it as “[disk|data] destroyer”, because that’s what it’ll do if you’re not careful.

what’s wrong with a 15-minute city?

So people will be more likely to think twice before using Cursor, Copilot et al? Good. I think they should.

Your comparison to torture and sabotage is unfounded to the point of being simply bizarre.

What exactly is the problem with having an opinion? People are allowed to have opinions. People working in a field are allowed and even expected to have opinions on that field’s current state and goings-on.

Your opinion, if I had to guess, is that generative “AI” can be good and useful. My opinion is that it’s an insult to humanity that causes considerable harm and should not be used. These are both valid opinions to have, although they disagree with each other.

Don’t fall into the trap of “I’m objectively correct, everyone else just has opinions”.

There’s nothing wrong with judgment. Judging someone’s character based on whether they use generative “AI” is a valid practice. You may not like being judged, but that’s another matter entirely.

not washing the rice is generally a bad idea even disregarding this factor, because the texture of the rice will come out quite wrong.

i’ve wanted to play KSP with telemetry visualisation and basic remote commands only for a while. i guess that makes me a masochist, but you could say the same of enjoying KSP at all.
