Think of it as art rather than science. Do we question why someone created a piece of art, or whether they could have spent their time better by creating a different piece of art?

Hmmm. Okay. Fair point. Although it actually is science. And these folks could be doing real science.

I am trying to follow ycomb guidelines, and assume the best intent here, but there is just so much wrong about how you view scientific research, and play, and hobby, and learning, and duty, that after rewriting my reply 3 times, I cannot imagine you're not trolling.
If you're not trolling, you need to seriously step back, and think about how play=learning, how any scientific research=benefits us all.
Going to Mars is not good?! A waste?! There is so much wrong with this thought alone, so much broken logic, that it is horrifying to me.
A project such as going to Mars, will yield immense scientific research and output, benefiting humanity as a whole.
Just the r&d into material research alone, engineering, will benefit endless other disciplines.
It as if you see each thing as siloed, as if doing thing x, has zero benefit to y.
I wonder, do you employ this same logic for yourself? That is, you have no hobbies, nothing but work, and spend every moment working?
If you were a farmer, feeding thousands, would you be upset if you make bushes shapely at home, if you planted decorative plants?
I literally cannot view your comment in a positive light.

#127The video description says: > 3D Minecraft in Minecraft with no command blocks, no datapacks and no mods. Features include an 8x8x8 fully 3D-rendered world with 16 different block types, 32 different items, and dozens of game mechanics including mining, crafting, smelting, building, chests, random ticks Is "3D Minecraft" a Minecraft clone for low-powered hardware?

> only has
It's even more impressive than that. It has 8kb of ROM, and only 512 bytes of RAM!

#128Earlier quoted context omitted.
It's mind blowing how much effort they put into this, the MCHPRS server even JIT compiles redstone into native code using Cranelift: https://github.com/MCHPR/MCHPRS/blob/master/docs/Redpiler.md It really saddens me that their post was removed from r/Minecraft, for crediting a server by including its IP address for literally one second in the video.
Reddit is very saddening on general. Best to avoid it
In general yes, the "community mod" concept has been mostly dead for a very long time and major communities are in general run by by zealots with ideology and/or financial interest.
At least one can find niche communities with healthy discussion/debate as primary interest.

It's a reasonable thing to ask if you think intelligence is some fungible quantity that can be applied wherever you wish. But that's in "so wrong it's not even wrong" territory.
Sammyuri's interest and focus is microprocessor design. I'm sure he has a future in it (as far as I understand he's fairly young). Curing cancer isn't something he's likely to be good at, but who knows, maybe the chips he helps design will help with it one day. Doing this thing which no one has done before, has surely given him unique perspectives on a lot of things (as well as a lot of knowledge about CPU architecture most of us don't have). Maybe he will combine it with other knowledgeable people's unique perspectives and make wondrous discoveries.
Or he might do none of that, and just inspire a lot of other people to go down that path.
Don't think of intelligence as something that can exist in a vacuum. Let Sammyuri be Sammyuri.

I’m not trolling. I really do disagree with this in good faith. You can get the same materials research etc benefits by doing something that directly benefits humankind. Also, I don’t think that Musk thinks that it’s the spin-off stuff that matters. He honestly and in good faith wants to expand humans to another planet. He’s said this innumerable times. I just disagree that anything anyone feels like doing is as valuable as anything else. There are value decisions involved. I’m not saying that anyone should be enjoined or forced or any such thing. But maybe enticed?
