I'm working on a collection of networked games, around the central theme of a lockstep deterministic network model with 'delay frames' (between acting directly on user input and pr…

I'm working on a game arcade thing as a hobby project, themed around lockstep networking. There's a website for this here: https://locksteparcade.com/ It's still very much a work i…

Recent discussions about artificial intelligence safety have focused heavily on ensuring AI systems remain under human control. While this goal seems laudable on its surface, we sh…

The text you get when you click share should indicate which puzzle you solved, in some way (e.g. like the number in "Wordle 247 3/6"). Having some kind of graphic in this sharing t…

Right, this seems like an interesting subject, but not a lot of information there. Can anyone suggest better sources? Any comments on the following: https://news.ycombinator.com/it…

What open source contributions can I make, with the goal of assisting in some way with scientists responding to the new coronavirus? What I'd like, ideally, is a prioritised set of…

It would be really cool to be able to get suggestions directly from scientists working in this area, but links to other resources that can help answer this question would also be g…

How about something like this: https://www.asailorslifeforme.org/educator/primary/PS-Plan-o... ?

The concept of diminishing returns, perhaps, together with the corollary, by which I mean the fact that you can often get easier profits or make progress a lot more easily by switc…

When considering selling points, everyone seems to be focusing on the advantages of being able to run traditional games without console hardware or delays for installation, but no-…

How do you think the unthinkable? .. With a great big itheberg.

I don't know exactly how that bug bounty program works, but it feels like there may be some fundamental issues with bug bounties in the context of open source projects. For example…

As other posters have said, it seems like it can be tricky to incentivise cattle owners to add algae to their feed, check this has actually been added, in proportions that have the…

Perhaps that is not a performance , in the same sense as other stuff. e.g. do you get a bit of adrenaline kick in, are you motivated to impress them with your keyboard skills, etc?…

What makes the attacker different? If there was a possibility to subsidize mining by being paid to do science, why would other miners not take advantage of this also?

The trick is to detect obstacles that are likely to have minimal affect on the global result of pathfinding search, e.g. convex obstacles that are in the middle of open spaces, or,…

Yes, a lot of people are doing this, and it's not a bad approach. There's another approach you can take for continuous space pathfinding, however, which is to use visibility graphs…

Maybe the solution is to reuse or share content a bit more? Seems wasteful, for example, that the huge worlds created for some of todays AAA open world games are used only for thos…

Just saw this on the french wikipedia page for iodised salt, not included on the english language version: > Toxicologie : en 2012, l'Autorité européenne de sécurité des aliments (…
