Ah but duels are a different matter, they obey codes and rules and require mutual consent. Last duel in France was in 1958 actually.

I was surprised to read, a few days ago, that until late in the middle age (12th century if I recall correctly), waging personal wars, vendetta, revenges were seen as normal business. It took the Holy Roman Emperor to install courts of just

Bah, just wait for the hardware or the general software ecosystem to make the code obsolete anyway.

It took me a while to understand what C++ was: a quest for the highest level semantics possible with the lowest performance overhead. It is a quest started a long time ago with a lot of dead ends and circumvolutions. The quest is still vali

7. Yes I know, it gets better. That's still going to be 10 years off my already too short life. And how I envy the idea that living close to family would save you time instead of draining some.

Covid-19 is a baby bike with training wheels. And we fail disastrously at that. It is far from the worse scenario epidemiologists train for, but it could easily become one: a variant with high lethality can always appear suddenly. And yes,

The button presser could make a claim on the copyright. I could see a legal challenge being filled as this not filling the requirement for being a creative work and hence not copyrightable.

Actually I have a list of actions but I am not sure which one should be kind of automated and which one should be player controlled. At first, I was mostly interested in the spread of ideas and behaviors. The Player would be in the implicit

Can't we easily avoid these pitfalls by just comparing accidents/km on autopilot-equipped cars vs others? And disregard whether or not the autopilot is engaged.

The plan I have had in my drawers for about 3 years now is that I want to make a civilization game but where the focus is on keeping your own civ together. Civilizations fell more often because of internal dissensions than because of enemy

A science goes much faster when you have objective observations and measurable quantities. That is the only reason why economists are so focused on prices, GDP, incomes. It would be great to have objective measures of happiness, satisfactio

I am in the Japanese timezone. I am working with people in central Europe, East Canada and Silicon Valley. Have worked in such a way for years. The secret is just: no meetings. Meetings should be exceptional. If you have discussions in a ti

Yes, there are all sort of weirdness in their rendering but that's what you get in a research paper. Put that in the hands of actual game designers and you will have incredible possibilities.

Hilarious that nothing has more than 81% agreement. And here again, the same thing happens: I did not know Newcomb's box problems, so I google it, I find that people Newcomb and people who solved it are all actually scientists (The pro

Thanks! You should try to get a reference in framasoft sites, it is really useful! I could not find it while googling for peertube search. You should try to get some references up.

Is there a good search engine for peertube content? I feel that's the big problem now. Browsing random instances, I found a lot of (bad) porn, some anarchist concerts, tech tutorials in languages I did not know. I made a search for &qu

"Possible worlds exist" -> Damn what a breakthrough Yes, I agree that once you remove all the theists from the domain and are ready to call out people who do theology badly disguised as philosophy, the field becomes a bit clear

I certainly hope that the "internet-philosophers" include some academics as well. No I am more talking about people who do philosophy "accidentally" as part of their jobs: scientists or engineers mostly. And on many phil

That's something I encounter a lot too when wondering what tool to propose kids to start programming. I had GW-BASIC. It took two lines to draw a line on the screen. There are not a lot of things as easy nowadays
