The concept is cool and I like the clean look and feel; easy choice to sign up. Curious about the monetization plan, if you’re comfortable sharing.

At a quick glance I didn’t see any evidence that Odgers is funded by social media or smartphone companies, which is probably required before saying this is similar to the tobacco situation. If you’ve put more research into this I’d be inter

Concur. I wasn't really happy with my phrasing but it seemed like OK shorthand; I like yours.

I don't have any interest in defending Pelosi's stock trades, and I agree that sitting members of Congress should not be trading stocks. That said, this report seems inaccurate to me. Pelosi put between 1 and 5 million dollars of

FWIW, this is also the case for many video platforms on Mac and iOS (and I assume Windows and Android as well). It's not limited to Vision Pro. I believe this is because of studio pressure. My unvalidated assumption is that if I can ta

The boutique Blu-ray market has become fairly well served in the last five years. I suspect this may partially be because of the pandemic, but it seems to be sustaining. Most people have heard of Criterion and of course they’re still going

That makes sense. I am slightly envious of the idea of having clearly discernible failure domains but that’s a me problem. The coordination can get hairy at a huge company but that’s why (for example) Amazon has a really challenging program

I see we'd enjoy working together. ;) Out of curiosity, how do you parallelize incident response? I am fairly picky about only changing one thing at once but I'm not sure I'm always right about that.

Not at all. The way you gain trust is by making clear commitments and either meeting them or updating them as necessary. I'm not saying that the engineering troubleshooting a problem should be narrating moment by moment. I'm sayin

The problem is that, as incident commander, I don’t know the difference between “I’m not saying anything because I’m stuck” and “I’m not saying anything because it’s going to take me five minutes.” The correct rule of thumb is to always ove

Live sports is potentially huge. I am sure companies like Second Spectrum are thinking about how to use their player tracking tech plus traditional video coverage to provide a real time PoV shot from anywhere on the court/field.

I think this is a really good question. Let me offer one possible answer: It might not be necessary or useful to have multiple aggregators right now. However, I do feel better knowing that if Bluesky the company goes under or changes to a d

Putting aside the social issues for a moment, I can imagine a government deciding to run its own moderation server and mandating use of that server in the country in question. I'd prefer that Bluesy not enable that by geolocking users

by BryantD 3y ago
Composable moderation means we’re not limited to what Bluesky does, however. If I want to set up a moderation server that does tone moderation, there’s nothing stopping me from doing that. I tend to agree about the utility of Bluesky as a m

Depends on whether or not there are economies of scale.

It is a very complex question. I'll note that after I paste formatted text into (say) Word, it's easy enough for me to change the font family globally while preserving the rest of the text. But that doesn't help if I need to

It’s probably worth bringing the exact wording over here at this point: “It's... fine? I mean, it's pretty obviously written for D&D and games operating in the same space, with similar expectations for what a TTRPG adventure l

First, but kind of because I’m nostalgic. Also I’m a bit bitter that the cool dry erase character sheets I got with Second Edition had significant errata, making them less useful.

My favorite roleplaying game involves a bunch of Hong Kong action heroes fighting global conspiracies and occasionally traveling through time. The adventure doesn’t fit the genre well, although I certainly could convert it.

Perhaps also of interest: https://itch.io/jam/indie-nasa-adventures This is a tabletop game jam sparked by the NASA release. It is mildly snarky about D&D. The challenge is to write a TTRPG adventure that centers a

by BryantD 3y ago
Excellent summary. The adventure is clearly written with D&D in mind and would be harder to adapt to other systems, although it's certainly possible.

Damn it, my miss. Thank you for the correction.

The Lost Worlds series was continued in Japan as Queen's Blade as late as the previous decade. Cheesecake art, but the game mechanics are the same and the books are compatible. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen&#

Speaking for myself, I’ve met three or four people on BlueSky I’d like to have a private communication channel for. I didn’t know them previously.

False victimization tends to be a positive feedback loop, no matter what your ideology is.

Yep. You have to ask what order screenshots were taken in; the full context of the question is important for LLMs. This is an increasingly important piece of media literacy.

I don't think Gemini is well tuned. That said, note that Ben didn't try and replicate the results using conservative examples. He's quite happy to accept the claim that Gemini has "the politics of the median member of th
