It sounds like you understood. I find the disconnect between the summary above and the quote below really funny. Almost as funny as explaining the joke here!

I think taxes predates that by a lot and probably had more to do with feeding management. Money and trade as we know it today was invented by the Romans because soldiers were raidi…

This link says very explicitly that it did show people were discouraged from working, making the experiment obviously a failure. > Among all the people, only two key groups were fo…

Being upset about immigration like this comes across as someone living somewhere successful but is not competitive with the new immigrants. Not saying psyops and civil forfeiture a…

Before LLMs, empire building was a very large incentive to hire. Teams tended to become larger than they needed to be so the boss feels good about their life choices. LLMs do not f…

This comes across as an unhinged boomer rant but is probably more right than wrong. I have seen fast food chains in the US offering $30/h and that is a life-changing amount of mone…

It is easy to see lost sales with a 15$ service vs. the full ticket price of 60$. But I wonder how big of a dent it takes out of piracy where “trialling” many games (vs settling on…

Is this lazy version of RLM where we use subagents and get them to output markdown documents? With one root agent coordinating, it can create a reasonable prompt and provide paths …

These things are still very far from human-level intelligence. Maybe a touch beyond a golden retriever in processing power. Ratcheting the intelligence up a notch from there is exp…

An approach I like to help solving this is antagonistic or review agents. The first agent decides that eye glows turn NPCs into enemies, the second agent is fully dedicated to deci…

I think it’s more likely we’ll raise prices until demand lowers enough to match supply.

There isn’t much need to extract isotopes if you have an actual working reactor, is there? Just use that as-is to cause whatever damage.

In the Innovation Adoption Curve, we are absolutely beyond the Early Adopters phase and possibly the Early Majority. The growth rates necessarily have to start trending down becaus…

TFA isn’t about consumer usage, it is about training the next generation models. An interesting thought I heard recently is that a SOTA model has about the same parameters as the n…

This is the exact kind of cause that triggers the social media algorithms. Part nostalgia, part underdog battle, and no problematic elements.

Sony removing the disc drive from PS6 will save them a lot of money if Xbox also removes it. I wonder if they’re back channel colluding on that right now?

It sounds like your opinion is that status quo is ok when: there is a spectator mode, it’s on a mobile device, there is multiplayer. I still don’t quite understand in which cases t…

Sort of like how Diary Queen aren’t allowed to call their desserts “Ice Cream” because there isn’t enough dairy, we need to force retailers to start calling them game-licenses? Thi…

Back in the old days, we would be pooling resources like that to host a server for the clan. And I wonder if the reason those games are less popular has more to do with marketers b…

For single-player games, those are definitely media. For multiplayer games, that feels a lot closer to a sport.

We rent time at a football field. We buy tickets to watch a single match. There are parallels here to not owning video games. I don’t really understand why one is so heinous. Let’s…

That upfront convenience here leads to a long tail of job security when it inevitably goes spaghetti. Win-win!

Or squirgle jail on a transparent background instead of a grey one? Why would cursor collision with an image stop working because a new input method?

The only reason to run MacOS over Linux is the hardware. Arm MacBooks are unreasonably good but don’t support Linux (Asahi is still a bit WIP). They sell hardware, not software, so…

No restricted for me, either on or off VPN. This might actually be an account issue on your side? Maybe a work account?
