I don't see that working out as well as they imagine. The big thing is that folks use D&D as a form of structured play whether it's online or offline. It's that interaction and the…

I remember somewhere in one of my undergrad courses textbook that had a quote to something of the effect that C++ was a federation of languages. And honestly, it still feels like t…

I'm surprised the article didn't cover "life" or simulation games since these are often seem to be relaxing games compared to more frantic games like MMOs. For me, Stardew Valley i…

It's funny you speak of flow state here since for me reading up on MMORPG meta or any meta changes to any game is where I mostly focus on such that even before I launch a game I've…

Victims of Communism and the authors of the Black Book of Communism's own figures are debated by experts of the history of Russia and the USSR, especially during Stalin's reign. Ma…

The problem with Thiel's worldview is that it's not all that accurate. Yes, the Soviet Union was a horrible authoritarian state but the alternative to it isn't any better especiall…

I agree with the comments in the video since often I find myself dealing with opaque code. Having code that's opaque makes it hard to make sense of what it does, when it does what …

Yeah, it's easy to make ChatGPT do wrong things which is why I'm not so concerned about it other than companies using it as an excuse to further strip down essential technicians fo…

When you usually have flags in your function then you really have two functions in one which can be a problem. In practice, I usually break these kinds of functions down if it's lo…

I don't know why folks are so freaked out about it. Yes, some of these programs can act somewhat like a person in text but often their output is just garbage. Heck, even AI focused…

I remember in the 80s that there were bees all over the grounds at my elementary school, they had dandelions, clover, and a few other weed/grass species in the mix but bees went wh…

The problem with making a VR layer on top of the Internet is that it's not something you can do alone. It has to be done in a manner that's organic/spontaneous with competitors bei…

Such devices are a dead end, imo. I think the next generation of BMI will likely be something you can put on your head like old time headphones with some being even less invasive t…

>I am 100% blind, and guess what, I prefer the term blind because it is pretty descriptive and relatively short. Have you ever listened to the tv show Avatar the last air bender? T…

>"OOP to me means only messaging, local retention and protection and hiding of state-process, and extreme LateBinding of all things." – Alan Kay This is probably why I love program…

>And by replacing ownership with either de facto or de jure rental of any and all private property. My theory is that as profits decline due to the tendency of markets to reach equ…

>That's why it's confusing that you would go from "we have persistent hard problems" to "mathematical models can't exactly correspond to reality". That's not even what I said. Go b…

The thing is that the law as written allows them to do just that. If they don't like your content on YouTube, they can punt it instantly. And it can be for ANY REASON. And that's n…

If you mean why is quantum mechanics probabilistic? That's because it's the best model we have to handle many of the momentary variations in physical systems. But I'll say that det…

>I don't see why it's logical to conclude that difficulties modeling hard problems means we can't model them using math. That's not what I'm stating though. I'm stating that the ma…

I think the fact that the oddest approaches work aren't exactly a measure of how the particles actually work in physics. I think it proves that math isn't the language of the unive…

I think it's more of a social norm than a legal right since it would be on shareholders to pursue a lawsuit to prove that the board of directors at a company are sabotaging the bus…

I think second mover has a better chance to succeed, even from the first mover themselves (Apple had many ideas for touchscreen devices but most flopped until the 2000s). Iteration…

It just demonstrates how patents are a form of rent seeking. You own the product of your labor but you should not be able to assume you own the accidental products that are related…

I think there's a problem at the heart of the matter, specifically the idea that the act of measurement is in itself powerful when in point of fact that this isn't universally the …
