Do you think we will recognize any walls? Or is there a point where the output might look different with respect to different paradigms / modalities we throw at it, but we won't be able to understand the quantitative…
That is a fine stance to hold but some facts are still true regardless of your view on large businesses. For example, it will benefit more people to secure Microsoft or Amazon services than it would be to secure a…
Can you imagine a switch trying to load all the maps and resources for AngelBobs/K2/SE? I know they do some impressive work to port modern games on switch but even my state of the art computer struggles to run K2+SE at…
You can also use sleep items/magic and fight them one at a time. Also if you never lock on to either of them, they are less aggressive. I love that these games are turning to my old man. “Back in my day you Had to think…
I have to say, as someone that clicked this link that I found a few things you might want to consider before plugging again: 1. No disclaimer that you are involved with the site 2. Maybe talk about something other than…
Isn't the short answer to "why are people subjecting themselves to this" just dark patterns? I know it sounds overly reductionist or boogeyman-esque, but they captured a market and refuse to let go, doing every single…
Sure you do, the only feasible way to make a mars colony work is one-way trips of people / supplies once every nine months, when the earth/mars orbits align best for interplanetary travel.
I remember reading an interview where Asimov is asked why the books of the Foundation trilogy are so different. The short answer is that the first book was inspired by an idea he had while talking to a professor about…
I’ll have to do this then, thanks!
I always forget how little actually happens in the first book of the trilogy, and how…earthy(?) it is? It’s just so small in scope compared to the following books that I forget that its entire appeal is just how unknown…
Second McCarthy’s “effective language” attribution. I read The Road, and it was so sufficiently “effective” in its descriptions and it’s setting that I’m happy never reading another McCarthy book again. Glad I did once.…
I tried to read Cryptonomicon as a first introduction to Stephenson. Kept waiting for the good parts, and actually just stopped reading halfway through out of sheer boredom. A few years later and I read Seveneves.…
I almost got past this recommendation without having to read another sci-fi book but your Anathem pitch got me. I’ve been stuck in sci-fi for 3 years straight and thought I was finally going to read something else…
Gatekeeping aside, I took the meaning of the comment to be that there is something in the galaxy that has the ability to construct/manipulate their surroundings in such a way that it appears to us as “intentional, from…
All three of your points make sense, but for me the last point really resonates. No need for a space program, or going through someone that does. Just acquire drone > use drone.
Asimov wrote a short story[0] about this exact scenario! Many people at HN have probably read this already, but maybe some of them could be part of the lucky 10,000![1] [0]…
Cycling shoes run the gamut of price, features and preferences. Top three brands off the top of my head: 1. Bontrager: Owned by Trek, and is the most common type of spin shoe used in studios. Will have something for all…
Ask: Do this hard thing for the greater good His Church's Response: No This person obviously has no interest in understanding or conversing outside of bad faith arguments and victimhood. Not worth the trouble.
The absolute bias and lack of any self awareness present in your statements here is fascinating. There really is only the One Way for you, isn’t there? Call me brave, but I would counter that there may, in fact, be at…
And these distinctions are esoteric to most. If the headline “(extremist group) use / flock to matrix to plan (nefarious thing)” shows up in the news, these distinctions hardly matter anymore.
IIRC, there was a study done in the last 10 years or so that found that there was a relationship between the type of degree, and how important the social or “prestige” component needed to be successful in a given field.…
If you haven’t launched a rocket in the base version, then I strongly recommend no mods, while avoiding any videos or premade blueprints. Then go watch videos and do it again, but much faster. Then if you’re still…
I remember my old track coach using this during practices. We would swish the water around in our mouths to get rid of that bad taste you get when you’re thirsty, but he always warned us that the second we swallowed too…
I can’t get into Deepness after reading Fire. Too different and my expectations for the scale he set up are too big...
This is a little uncanny! Thanks for posting.
