I already know for a fact that I am smarter than most of the human population.

Close to 50% of the folks on this planet are smarter than "most" of the population. Just the fact that you are here at Slashdot implies that you are in that "smarter" than most group; however, being smarter than most doesn't prevent you from acting dumb from time to time. Humility is ALWAYS necessary.

Comment Re:Not altruism at all (Score 1) 63

The Dark Knight spawns not altruism but fear and terror in evil-doers.

Why be so negative? Some people might have been motivated by seeing an example of altruism in front of them. Despite how I personally feel, not everything is negative. That is also true regardless of how you personally feel.

There is a difference between getting a degree and getting an education. You appear to have confused the two. Even worse, you back up your claims with the assinine proposal that it is merely people who didn't go to college that think degrees are not worth they money paid.

Are you even educated?

Comment Re:They are objectively wrong (Score 1) 189

Moron. This isn't about education. Education is ALWAYS worth it. What they are talking about is trading your time and money for a degree that will hopefully lead to a job that will pay enough to cover the expense and time spent previously on the degree. And that math is totally upside down. It is not worth it to get a degree, even if it is still worth it to be educated.

You should watch the "live at Tanglewood" version of that song. I am still blown away by how professional and well timed they are. Maybe not the best live performance ever, but it deserves to be voted on for that distinction. Computers could not have been more accurate or well timed.

Comment Re:Humans cant tell time either (Score 1) 119

If I took away your watch/phone and all external tools and asked you to be able to tell me what time it was a few hours from now, do you think you would succeed within even a 30 minute margin of error?

My cat knows what time my bedtime is and she can't read clocks. It is not behavior (my) based as she interrupts me when I am deep in the middle of something interesting.

For myself, I am usually within a minute or two of the exact time whenever anyone asks me. There are times where I have no idea at all what time it is, but that is more rare than picking he correct time to the minute.

I am not trying to take away the Truth of what you are claiming. I am just trying to help you understand that the Truth of what you are claiming is far more nuanced than a simple black and white analysis will lead you to believe.

Hm. I see a racist bigot here.

"If you want to make a "free" game with AI shit."

Never mind. I don't care. You would never understand such a nuanced point anyways. So yeah, you are right, there is absolutely no way to use AI in game development and have a shiny polished project. If AI is even looked at during development, whatever is created is absolute shit.

You are annoying bro. Shut up. You do have a point, just like people have a point when they say they can't trust black people to behave in a civilized manner... but we all know black men that behave more civilized than many white men.

When it was first discussed here on /., the consensus opinion was that if you drove an EV, you should have a GPS tracker installed in your car that measured how far you drove.

I do not recall agreeing to that. In fact, most of us pointed out that the odometer is sufficient to provide the needed data despite the fact that some of the miles may have been outside of the jurisdiction of the taxing authority. Privacy is more important than accuracy.

Pretty much every western government is having a really hard time balancing finances.

Corruption is a real bitch eh? We would be far less susceptible to manipulation if our own governments weren't so corrupted. The West is falling and the people who can do something about it are busy scrambling for more personal wealth.

Sometimes, if a customer wants full rights to all documentation and design details (or source code or whatever), they have to pay more. If they want exclusive full rights, they have to pay even more.

I was replacing chips in naval electronics at over $200k a chip back in the 90s. I think we paid for EVERYTHING regarding those devices. I also had to fix those devices in active warzones. Fuck contacting the manufacturer for permission.
