Here there are like 10 self-checkouts per 1 employee and they're just there if the machine gets confused about a weight. It's much better, and faster than waiting in the queue for a manned checkout. I can't imagine wanting to go backward, where's the benefit?

Self checkouts don't work where you are? Odd.

You mean demanding special attention rather than using the self-checkout like everyone else? Not sure I understand.

Game engine limitations, apparently. Say a thread on exactly this earlier today.

Agree it is much poorer for lacking them. It's immersion breaking being in the far future, zipping around on an interstellar craft, yet being forced to explore slowly on foot. I really can't even use the ship? Cmon.

A good solution 20 years ago but bluetooth and music files saved on your phone is a much nicer solution now.

Unfortunately it's zoning that caused most of this issue. Not size. Dense residential was disallowed for not entirely un-racist reasons, so it spread out enormously instead. On top of car companies lobbying in various ways to make cars essential.

And the crumple zone is your legs, twice the use for the same space!

Jokes aside this whole thread could be summarised as 'safety' for the most part.

Because helping others out from under the influence of things that are making them stupid is good for the world in general.

It works if you ask it for small specific components, the bigger the scope of the request, the less likely it will give you anything worthwhile.

So basically you still need to know what you're doing and how to design a script/program anyway, and you're just using chatgpt to figure out the syntax.

It's a bit of time-saver at times but it's not replacing anyone in the immediate future.
