I'm not saying that there won't be small new additions to life that are fun, like better cameras (for me). But I think that you'd probably find something else equally enjoyable, like another new game that just isn't as advanced, and your life would not be significantly worse – in general, except for fringe cases. And on average, life isn't made better specifically because of technological improvement.
> But is BG3 MORE enjoyable than anything that's come before? I would say I got just as much enjoyment from Mass Effect 20 years ago.
Can't comment on Mass Effect, but I find BG3 is definitely more enjoyable than DOS2 or PWotR.
> Is better entertainment really the bar we want to use for measuring tech advancement?
There is definitely room for improvement there. I am having existential crises every time I wait for the next game I would enjoy to come out. The best time of my life was during the recent Mecha Break open beta, but now they closed it and I basically have nothing to do that I would really enjoy.
Baldur's Gate 3 nailed execution out of the park, but I don't know what I'd point to as innovation that puts it meaningfully beyond what Neverwinter Nights expansions coming out in 2004-2005 were doing.
Trump already appealed. It goes to the next court up. Fun continues until the Supreme Court takes it + decides or chooses not to (effectively leaving the appellate decision in force).
It's a software framework for orchestrating agents. Each agent can have its own system prompt, its own tools, and it can delegate ("hand off") to a different agent. When a hand off occurs, the LLM runs again but as a different agent.
They split the rights up in much more imaginative ways, like local channels can broadcast sold out local games and then the nfl itself or an rsn or major network can broadcast the remote half. I would guess that a lot of local games are over the air but if you follow a team somewhere else you might need a fairly inexpensive subscription
The NFL streaming services are truly bizarre. You can't stream local games, based on billing address, because you're supposed to watch TV. Which means if you go on vacation, you still can't watch, because they're not on TV and not streamable with your account.
Are you a native English speaker? "whiskers" is a common euphemism for a moustache. I would be very surprised if a native speaker didn't know that, or couldn't infer from context.

It's not euphemism, whiskers are literally what a moustache is made from. A whisker is an individual male facial hair.
Air with the smoke is heavier than air without. If the air with smoke is not sufficiently hotter than the air around (hotter air is lighter) then the air with the smoke goes down relative to surrounding air.
