  • An excuse removes responsibility.

    A reason does not.

    “You are excused” means you no longer are responsible for the outcome.

    “I literally wasn’t present when it happened, so I’m not responsible for the outcome” < excuse, which can be valid

    “I knew what was going to happen, here is why I did it for a good reason” < reason

    Example: three kids are present, 2 are graffiti’ing the back of a house

    When caught, 1 kid says “I was trying to stop them, they wouldn’t listen”. This is an excuse, they’re claiming they aren’t at fault and not responsible for the graffiti.

    Another says “the home owner deserved it, he’s an asshole”, this is a reason as they are clearly not avoiding responsibility.

    When you try and use an excuse to get out of something thar you clearly are responsible for, that’s when you will get served the “I dont want an excuse” line.


  • One vehicle delivering 2 peoples food is better than 2 people driving out to get food, tbh.

    Overall delivery drivers substantially reduce traffic.

    For more deliverable stuff like packages, 1 delivery truck delivery 40 peoples packages in one trip us so much better than 40 individual households all driving to Walmart or whatever.

    I am fine with the majority of traffic just being delivery vehicles and public transit, those are the two actually effective uses for vehicles at the public level.

    I use Hugo, it’s not super complicated.

    You basically just define templates in pseudo html for common content (header, nav panel, footer, etc), and then you write your articles in markdown and Hugo combines the two and outputs actual html files.

    You also have a content folder for js, css, and images which get output as is.

    That’s about all there is to it, it’s a pretty minimalist static site generator.

    Hosting wise you can just put it on github pages for free.


  • Well yeah, I’d hope so, that’s the entire point.

    Catcha’s data collection always was with the intent for training ai on these skills. That’s “the point” of them.

    It’s reasonable to expect that the older version of captchas can now be beaten by modern ai, because they’re often literally trained on that exact data to beat it.

    Captcha effectively is free to use on websites as a tool because the data collection is the “payment”, they then license that data out to people like OpenAI to train with for stuff like image recognition.

    It’s why ai is progressing so fast, captchas are one of humanity’s long term collected data silos that are very full now.

    We are going to have to keep progressing the complexity of catches as it will be the only way to catch modern AIs, and in turn it will collect more data to improve it.








  • Because having people download static map data for the entire planet just to play a game is untenable.

    You shouldn’t have to download the entire planet though.

    The game 100% should support installing local specific areas you wanna fly around, that anyone could then keep a copy of.

    If a user wanted to cache an entire 8 TB of the entire world on a drive, they should be able to just do that (and thus have forever support without worrying about internet services staying online)

    At least, as a snapshot of what the world looked like in 2024.

    I don’t see why users shouldn’t have the option to locally HD save the data if they want to, to avoid maxing out their internet bandwidth in one sitting.
