There's an article with an outrageous title (claiming one's getting towards the goal of simulating existence!) and the top comment is about "he doesn't use version control?!".
That's so HN.
- mrfusion 11y agoWhere does it talk about simulating existence? I tried skimming it
- ZoF 11y agoWhat? The entire article is about this. It would be hard to find a paragraph where this isn't explicitly mentioned. You didn't skim very well.
- erikpukinskis 11y agoI read the whole thing and I didn't catch that part either.
- osweiller 11y agoTo be fair, the title is serious exaggeration. Tom Adams has a large task list of implementation ideas, and they're 42% complete. He then says that these represent the "narratively interesting" parts of existence. If I made a game that had a day and night, sleep and awake, food, drink, sex and death, I could claim that it simulates 100% of the interesting parts of existence. To cast that as actually simulating existence would be silly, though.
