But why? There is no reason to care about the classification of Pluto. Why don't you just define that you're okay with it not being a planet?

lol, there can be more than one explanation, you're being purposely obtuse.

Occlusion can block you from taking a photo.

Not taking a photo can block you from taking a photo.

Sometimes, there are two things that happen!

Seriously, you'd understand if you actually bothered to look up what Gaussian Splatting is

By not taking photos of it... what else? The data wasn't there, so it couldn't be generated

Actually, this might be a lack of understanding, look up what gaussian splatting is.

Oh, I've felt that when they marked my order done and hadn't started yet.

But, like you said, I realized what they were doing, and how they quite possible NEED to do it just to keep dumb management happy.

So of course I didn't say anything.

My questions were mostly to agree it's hard to understand, but they were true ignorance.

I'm glad you answered them.

It finally makes sense to me, and now I realize I didn't even understand "over" in that context. That Ring wiki page though, um, nope... :D

But... what is a ring? What is a formal variable? What is a vector space? What does "algebra over the ring" mean?

His point is the terms are dense too

I was ready to argue until I got to the end "My point is that the advantages aren't worth the disadvantages."

Suddenly your entire argument shifted in my head and I fully agree.

Might be something there I can learn about myself then :D

Yes, there is so much I don't know about lighting and photos. I can recognize a good photo, I can't take a good photo

Yes, Apple's UI/UX is good, not great. Like far from great. So he's still correct
