It is an open legal question if pardons from felonious presidents are valid.

The engine is written with mods as first class citizens, the core game itself is formally just a mod the engine accepts.

I'm not sure how it became the norm in text adventure games, but for platformers part of it was a hold over from games being designed to be quarter eaters in arcades. Kids that played those became adults that made the next ones. I /suspect/ that a similar thing has happened with the kids that grew up on the N64 and gamecube had four player local coop as the ceiling and now lots of games that probably could have more than 4 players at a time (albeit with balance probably thrown out) are capped at 4. Looking at you, concerned ape :|

The CIA didn't read his contract carefully enough. He snuck it into one of the rider clauses.

I suppose if we had access to a public data set like this receipt bank, programmers could time themselves setting up a solution with off the shelf OCR algos. If they could clock in at under 10 hours they could advertise themselves as being "just as good as an LLM, but significantly cheaper." Downside for the managerial class that wants generative algos for the complete lack of legal protections.

I mean, at over 1000% the cost, the machine solution doesn't scale either?

Also, not like it just keels over and dies, that's just the 80% performance criteria. Most people wouldn't need to replace the batteries at that point.

Do you think it's odd you only listed companies with already existing revenue streams and not companies that started with and only have generative algos as their product?

/Owning/ the truck would be imaginary/aspirational as you imagine yourself using it often enough to justify the expenditure. If it's for trips that are 3~4 times a year it probably makes more sense to rent.

What, did you read Adrian Tchaikovsky's Children of Time recently?
