Capitalism is the best system at eliminating other systems before they eliminate it.

AFAIK, historical documents show the Japanese government were ready to surrender, if they had been sure the monarchy would be preserved.

The bomb could have been replaced with properly worded surrender terms.

Yes, sort of. I absolutely hate the visual artifacts from TAA and from upscaling, which are both much more commonly used in UE5 games.

I’m also much more likely to try custom-engine games, just because I think people making their own engines is pretty cool ! I have only implemented very basic stuff myself, but it was very interesting to do !

Deontologist ethics are a bunch of nonsense that I have little respect for, somehow even less so than for Utilitarians.

Not flipping the switch, aka not voting for the lesser evil, shows you consider the cleanliness of your own conscience more important than any actual real consequences in the world. It is a disgustingly self-centered stance to take : you had a chance to make the world less of a bad place, you didn’t. You made the wrong choice.

Also, if you’re going to stoop to ad hominem, you should at least check your spelling. It’s “Vogue” not “Vouge”, and “Trolley” not “Trolly”.

I am not a utilitarian at all.

I happen to agree with Utilitarians in this case, but overall I see their attempt to reduce ethics to a maths problem as childish and immature.

Active saviour.

I am a mathematician, and I can tell you that this sort is thing is impossible to “mathematically validate”.

The fake scarcity ploy has worked. People actually believe Fortnite skins are scarce for real… I hope it was an April Fools post

The loop track is longer, and also more likely to damage the trolley and prevent it from going over them.

Even on strictly ethical grounds, you should switch tracks, there is a non-zero chance it will save them !

Consummated !? They’re going to fuck !!?

And she would be correct ! Its just people in latex masks…

Glad to report my college has ethics as a required class in the CS curriculum indeed ! Though I think the class is sub-par, but it’s brand new for this year, so it should improve progressively…

Some people would rather let the train run over 5 people instead of 1, just so their own hands stay “technically clean”…

Oh boy, if there’s an OWASP top 11th vulnerability, we’re cooked /j

France, in a medium-sized city.

Clever girl…

This belong on aneurism posting.

I cannot tell whether this post is a joke, or a legitimate case of AI psychosis, but I am 100% sure it is one of the two.

I’m pretty sure the Venn diagram of “refuses cookies” and “refuses AI” is a circle.

Yes, I got a prompt on Steam Deck asking if they could collect anonymised FPS data from my games !

I said no, but there will be enough people who say yes to collect that data reliably.

In some countries in Europe, we’re used to stating revenue monthly instead of yearly !
