- old webpages (like from the 2000s) are fast and snappy
- new webpages take much longer to load
Modern webpages are less like a page and more like a full blown application. If you're not careful you'll get an unoptimized mess, which is exacerbated when you put a bunch of ads on top.
That being said I don't have memories of everything being snappy 20 years ago - there were messy scripts and gigantic images that made Geocities and Angelfire sites near unusable back then as well.
The PSP and 3DS titles also had pause. Pause is more likely to be a key feature on "handheld" games since you're more likely to play in "bursts," and the Switch is a handheld" system.
Moreover, as I understand it there are two Monster Hunter dev teams - a primary team that works on the the "mainline" (previously numbered) games that tended to target console, and a secondary "handheld" team that would handle the handheld spinoffs and ports. Rise was developed by the secondary "handheld" team, World and Wilds are being developed by the primary "console" team.
That being said, I'm with you - I like to be able to pause while on a long hunt to go get a drink or take a quick break.
Getting them to do anything other than spit up probabilistically correct information and sentences would require them to have comprehension, not just associations between strings of words.
I would argue that associations between pieces of information is the cornerstone of how you form comprehension. While I agree that the technology is somewhat overhyped, the fact that you can instruct models to perform arbitrary tasks that the model was not specifically trained to do is evidence of some level of "comprehension."
Probably has more to do with the primary target platform being the Switch. I don't think Monster Hunter World allows for pausing, for example.
Such projection, criticizing a strawman Marxist argument as "binary" while reductively categorizing the USSR as either good or bad.
While I appreciate his thoughts on MMT, I am generally wary of his analysis; 1Dime has previously defined "Petite Bourgeoisie" as "high income earners," which is a red flag for me.
I've had to limit my interactions on both here and especially Hexbear because of this toxicity. Idealistic based bickering and hatred of individuals. Constantly wishing death on groups of people instead of understanding the material reasons they act the way they do.
I found memes like "To the wall with them!" amusing enough at first; but then I realized that more often than not the meme is being used seriously.
Playing devil's advocate - it looks like the main advancement made by SpaceX is the reusable rockets. Do you think this has a material benefit to space travel going forward?
In terms of the real economy, I would think this is beneficial.
Devil advocacy aside, I'm skeptical that reusable rockets should take priority over other possible areas of advancement; and of course, the inefficiencies and waste of the private sector should go without saying.
Even if you argue that there is, they are certainly not aligned with Israeli Bourgeoisie
Who is putting "blame" on Israeli workers? Is the IMT responding to something in particular, or is this their general statement regarding the genocide in Gaza?
