Require, maybe not? But it's a comparatively huge pain in the ass to use a lot of government services where I live without a smartphone.
Quitting caffeine has been a no-op for me, but then again, caffeine was a no-op for me prior to that. Glad it's working out for the author, though!
Simpler to use the potential energy formula, surely. E = mgh m = E/gh m = 3.6 * 10^6 J / (9.8 m/s^2 * 10m) = 3.6735 * 10^4 kg
Love me some nonsensical medieval illustrations. Compare and contrast to 2023 illustration of Blemmyes (from a game I was working on a couple years ago): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HISYcO-WHmk
One only needs to look at Horizon: Zero Dawn to note that the truth of this is deeply uneven across the games industry. World streaming architectures are incredible technical achievements. So are moddable engines. There…
It's been very easy to observe acceleration in progress over time, and there's a natural question that emerges: Will we reach a point where people can't keep up? Nothing hand-wavy or silly there. And the discussion of…
Here's the Vinge paper most folks cite when talking about The Singularity. https://edoras.sdsu.edu/~vinge/misc/singularity.html There's a lot of speculation in there, but it's pretty carefully couched in scientific…
The singularity in this context refers to the point beyond which predictions will fail because we cannot possibly foresee the consequences of certain technological changes. There's nothing historical about it; it came…
Um. The Singularity isn't religious in its origin. It's literally a reference to a mathematical singularity. I'm not entirely opposed to the article's characterization, but this is a big one to get wrong. What the term…
I was making short games. Specifically I was trying to make games that packed the same density of concentrated entertainment as other media. The abridgement thing sounds like a smart approach, but ultimately I've gotten…

I literally started a company on that thesis. It failed, but I still believe in that mission.
There are visualization techniques that help with the washing over, but there's also the advice, which CBT therapists do give but randos on the internet always forget, that sometimes you're having anxiety (or another…
You sound like you've never had an issue, and hey, congrats, but let's not pretend that there aren't plenty of horror stories and legitimate reasons to worry. And suppressing legitimate worry is a bad habit,…
And yet it all too often gets applied in places where it is objectively stupid.
A buddy of mine introduced me to the concept pair of Fluid and Crystallized Intelligence. That's the short answer to your question. An older dev will have more accumulated experience and will be able to make decisions…
150+ animals per person per year? Citation needed.
Right, but not having kids is also a far bigger cost to many people than any amount of money. Hence we prefer other approaches to the problem.
Nothing about the world's rich folks suggests that they, as a class, are in any way genetically superior to anyone else. Nature vs nurture leans 90 degrees towards nurture.
It's pretty annoying that this person would have the gall to hitch dead artists to his dead horse when many artists are trying very hard to explain that, in fact, mental illness for the vast majority of them is just a…
One tip I have from years in a company that was undergoing major changes in its business model is to pay attention to other workers. In my case, the shop floor guys at an automation company smelled the shift in the wind…
