If it wasn't for laws stating "horns should only be used in emergencies", I really wouldn't mind a softer "caution" horn... although it'd get abused and annoying. Trams in e.g. Amsterdam have it, single be

I consider LLMs to be good at "more", not "better". Coincidentally, most of my work is "more", most of the advancements are done during project setup.

It's difficult if you think of it as big, but what if you break it down into smaller, manageable steps? Start by being consciously aware of what you eat in a day (or better yet, week); write it down, do some back of the napkin calorie

I suspect this is the case with many mental health conditions / neurodiverse conditions; after all, people grow up with them and if their environment is not affected or making observations (e.g. people are told or convinced that what t

Question is whether you sold all or just a segment. If you bought 100 btc early on, sold 99 of them, you'd still have something worth a deposit for a house or a car now, which is still life-changing.

I'm still enjoying the Nolan jokes / memes, but in a weird way because of course, via https://www.reddit.com/r/CroppedNorrisJokes/

Is it? I don't know if you expect the author to go "yes I used LLM" here, what did you find out yourself?

If they don't let you out of a vehicle, that's kidnapping and / or extortion and a call to the police should resolve it quickly. In a functioning society, anyway.

While Atari holds the rights to Transport Tycoon, I'd argue that at this point taking OpenTTD down would be a huge footgun; like Nintendo with emulators, they can also buy / license the engine and re-release the game on modern pla

Currently (and for the past 25 odd years) it's a brand owned by a French holding company called Atari SA, formely known as Infogrames.

It's... complicated; they own Transport Tycoon Deluxe, its code, its assets and its IP. Back when OpenTTD first released, it was a decompile (?) of TTD that loaded the assets of the game itself. This was... legally dubious, since rever

Doesn't even need to be threatening, a notice of "this thing you're doing is in violation of our terms of service" should be enough... although I suppose that can be construed as threatening already.

That's how these things usually (should) go; a good legal system (be it civil suits, insurance claims, mediation, etc) will only actually take on cases if you've tried a reasonable approach first, e.g. asking nicely.

There's a lot of irony in a defensive comment being written based on misreading / inattentive reading of a post about reviewing papers (requiring attentive reading).

Years and tens if not hundreds of billions; the Netherlands is experiencing this, after a decade of cheap solar, a rise in EV, and new builds being built fully electric on the consumer side, and many datacenters and green energy generators

Does make me wonder if it's possible to make a physical / analog / mechanical version of Game of Life. fake edit: yes, kind of: https://www.eurobricks.com/forum/forums/topic/164622-moc-mec...

Neat! For homebrew / "iot" stuff, there's LED button panels like https://www.adafruit.com/product/1929 that could work.

I love this and would love to see it on a wall at our office or something like that. Maybe there's smaller/cheaper led/switches that would work in a handheld version.

This would be ideal, I live right next to an industrial / office estate with plenty of flexible office space available. But in my line of work I'm often put next to people from all over the country, and / or on assignments wh

This is it; cost and quality of living is proportional to distance to employment, especially in services and tech. I made a tradeoff, I could buy a reasonably comfortable and -priced house, but access to public transit and / or time sp

I'd say "kind of", because it's ridiculous on the surface but could be a handy trick. If only to be aware that an executable gets told its own name.

I suppose scripts are OS specific (mainly Windows and "everything else", because #/bin/sh is everywhere else). That said, apparently there's cursed methods of having a universal shell/batch file of sorts, accor

I don't believe servers actually have this level of hardware protection to be honest. Physical protection, as someone else pointed out, on the other hand. If hacking the xbox goes wrong, the hacker will short out the console. If hackin

Damn, I worked with the author's game engine (C4) about... 20 years ago now while still in school, didn't know they were still active in that area!
