  • Also, yeah that’s literally how recycling works… do you think they recycle the labels on glass bottles? no they burn them off to get the glass. Then they make a new bottle, then they put new labels on it. literally doing exactly what you’re saying “isn’t recycling”.

    Still, that’s not at all what happens when recycling concrete.



  • “Recycling” concrete, is done by crushing it and using as either road filler, or aggregate for new concrete with worse properties than the original. It doesn’t turn concrete back into “cement + sand + aggregate”.

    I mean… That’s recycling. You literally just said “you’ve been lied to” and then immediately followed it up with an explanation of how it’s recycled. And then you literally linked an article that explains that concrete is recycled…

    However, within a recycling economy, old concrete may be recycled and reused within new concrete production. This is already being done in the concrete industry. Ultimately, we strive for a circular economy, where there is no waste at all in the concrete production and recycling process.






  • Generative design isn’t AI. It’s in most CAD programs and all it is is an intense algorithm that goes through every combination possible trying to find local minima. The BBC has no clue what it’s talking about here, it’s not AI. There’s no “asking” it anything.




  • Indie is used to refer to independent and small literally because that’s usually how it is. You’re completely ignoring the first thing you quoted which is about it being just a few people, which is by far the definition today. Witcher 3 is in absolutely no terms an indie game. It was produced by hundreds of people. It is so far from the actual definition that it’s laughable.

    By your definition Stardew Valley isn’t an indie because Chucklefish published it. That’s just not how it works. Video games aren’t music or movies. The same rules don’t apply, literally exactly for this reason.
