Same. I'm also a big fan of the wild poster [1], too. [1] https://eblong.com/infocom/maps/zork-1-poster.jpg (big)

As a side note for anyone who sees this, I received an unsolicited email from "Harold Anderson" (harold@signalvapor.org) but signed "Chris", trying to get me to buy an AI service (…

Good idea! On another note, I dig your box of cards. I've recently re-encountered the Commonplace book [1] idea in multiple places (and when two events pertaining to the same objec…

Are you finding the French decks helpful? I'm also trying to learn French (not using spaced repetition _per se_ but Pimsleur [which does use spaced repetition, really], InnerFrench…

FSRS is really cool. I'm trying to use it and a modified flashcard system to learn more abstract computer science and higher math. I hadn't considered it as a way of learning Chess…

I ended up giving up on it because my right shoulder is damaged from rheumatoid arthritis. Go where I could not, anon291. May your reeds be clean and your bellows free of mildew.

Really dig the sound of the first one, though all of these are really cool.

You're probably good if: - you're actually listing a job - the job pays money - the job pays a sane amount of money for the region in which you're hiring - you're actually trying t…

Every day we stray further from the light of our lord and savior, Dr. Nicole Forsgren...

If you run it in a cluster, does it become a Lemon Party?

There are no incentive structures (besides possibly "posterity") to encourage anyone to see past their noses. In fact, hardly anyone at any level of any organization, public or pri…

That's actually blowing my mind. Thank you so much for making this comment.

@#$% that's impressive. A little above my budget. I appreciate your response. I read some of your other comments and will follow your career with interest.

lol, yeah, that's an excellent example. I wish I had a stronger background in behavioral economics/psychology or some good connections in academia. The "instantly stop playing" thi…

What's your GPU setup like? I'm doing a vaguely similar thing - I have a 10" rack minilab [1] and I've vibe-coded an MCP server that runs in the cluster to introspect, etc, but the…

Ah, I think there was a German word for that idea, right? Lebensraum?

My guess would be that they're in a profit vs. loss mindset and thus less inclined to be charitable, community-minded, etc. You're basically forcing them to reason purely selfishly…

Oh man, that's super cool. I wonder if techniques like this will be used to investigate other games, possibly contributing to a sort of "family tree" of games kind of like the ones…

Superpowers + worktrees works really well for me. Superpowers works well at building comprehensive plans for implementing large features or refactors, and asks the questions up fro…

Wow. I did not know this. I'll bring it up in my organization.

Cool! I ran this against a personal project and this found a good number of issues. Looking into each of them, they seem to be valid. The run was fast, and the output looks clean a…

Oh, I love it! I really loved the art style on the water in this game.
