No, self-driving cars don’t use Large Language Models, they don’t need to process language at all.

I got that idea from this design.

Yep, but I made mine first 😬 I believe we were both inspired by the work of Karakurist.

Yes, absolutely. Just needs one motor per digit.

The video exagerates it a bit. But it is audible. Of course the clock will only move once a minute.

It is digital because it has digits instead of pointers. It is also digital in the sense that it has discrete states.

that will make some people immensely rich

Not sure what this means. Most satelites make everyone a little bit richer (weather, GPS, communication satelites).

it’s up to the cooperation of countries to research, mitigate, and control it

I would argue that companies SpaceX have a lot to lose from space debris. If space becomes inaccessible, they can’t do any business. They do a lot to mitigate space debris (especially with Starlink), and this is rational because too much space debris threatens their mission.

Does this game need client-side anticheat at all? It’s not PvP, so if you’re cheating, you just ruin the experience for yourself and maybe your teammates. But as far as I know, there are no rankings and not really any competition.

You can remove things from your watch history

Technically, we’ve never owned our games.

I don’t understand why people make this point. You own the physical media and you own a perpetual license to the game. It’s like saying you don’t own your car because you have to follow the traffic laws.

Pretty much the hardware version of && false

it happened again with the Intuitive Machines lander that landed on the moon last week

I can’t tell what the quality is because there is no brand name and they don’t make any claims about the source of bricks. It’s definitely not Lego, so not coming from a Lego factory.

If you don’t want it new, you can get used sets at places like Ebay.

If you don’t need the instructions (Lego lets you download PDFs on their website), you can order individual parts from pages like Bricklink or Brickowl. This is quite involved and can be confusing if you haven’t done it before. You need to find a seller (or multiple ones) who have all the parts you need at the correct quantities and colors and who will ship it to your region.

You can buy parts from compatible brands. I’ve used Webrick before, it works just like Brickowl, but can be cheaper for parts that are rare in the Lego world.

You can also look for sets from compatible brands, like this one. Sometimes they are copies of Lego sets (which I find questionable), sometimes they are unique designs. The quality of those can be hit and miss.

Alternatively, do retired sets come back into circulation again?

Usually not, but sometimes it happens, like with the 2017 Saturn V (21309) and the 2021 Saturn V (92176).
