Snaaaaaake

The Animatrix described it fairly closely

I’ve seen this before, but didn’t realise they got milkdrop working. I bought an MMX compatible processor specifically to be able to run this, back in the day.

Interesting that they note that the installation and upkeep are expensive. I wonder if they’ve factored the upkeep into the energy expenditure. Flat roofing is far worse than a pitched room for needing replacement etc.

Basically, it sounds good, but the research needs to consider the full lifecycle of these projects.

In the era of arcade games, finishing it wasn’t intended

I didn’t even get out the house

It does still allow for catch-up at the end of the run though. I prefer to binge watch, but now I wait a few months for it all to be released and then watch it. Which still doesn’t allow for week to week discussion, but fits my watching patterns better.

Wouldn’t everyone agree they would do something better if they had more data to inform their decisions?

At the very least most people would tick a box saying they would.

At the time if no appropriate data was available, decisions still have to be made based on whatever is available. And a return to the previous status quo isn’t a crazy idea in that scenario.

Yes, most people hate the idea of commuting and trying to focus in an open plan office, but that’s not what the question was about.
