This is really cool! I had fun playing your game, thank you for sharing it with us! I like the way you’ve made animations for the attacks. One thing I noticed is that the health counter goes down right away, before the attack hits and makes

I think the gp would argue that they can, and in fact one of their selling points is that they can help avoid the erratic swings between corrupt autocratic rule and an impotent variety of populism. They’re just harder to build and maintain:

I did not contribute a vote either way to your comment above, but I would point out that you get more of what you reward. Maybe the reward is monetary, like an author paid for spending their life writing books. Maybe it’s smaller, more repu

No, I’m going to eat one last steak, look lovingly at my supply of bulk dried beans and rice, thank goodness for the enormous amount of shelf-stable food sitting in storage across the supply chain, and wait til somebody dusts off their plow

I am not the person you’re replying to, but I read their comment to be suggesting that earlier waves of technological development addressed those chores first—successfully! To the extent that the robots for both chores are utterly commoditi

What has changed to make you think it’s finally really close now? I found the short article a little light on details, although as a layman I have noticed people seeming cautiously excited about ITER and speaking about SPARC as if its near-

Seems also plausible that risks might apply to the messenger that wouldn’t apply to the troops in garrison—that is, the thousands of other horseshoe nails in inventory could have gone unmissed or doomed a less important horse.

I took the implication to be that GP already had a good employee who was hired legitimately under the terms of the H1B, but that, to convert to a green card, you have to see whether a US person could do the job. So you have to put out for i

I’m reminded of Ferris Jabr’s well-reported 2019 piece for the Atlantic, exploring the shaky scientific basis of much of what we know as dentistry. It seems a lot harder to hold dentists (and their investors) to a uniform standard when the

Isn’t this type of dishonesty especially ambiguous and difficult to prove? There are extreme cases, but also a broad range of opinion in which professionals routinely disagree. The higher the stakes, the more ambiguous the problem: I’m remi

Aside from the marketing-ish tone and specific deeplinks to product purchase pages, the prominent Amazon logo and product description headline implied some degree of affiliation to my eyes. It seems like the evidence is that it would be foo

I seem to remember part of TikTok’s allure being that it learned your tastes well from implicit feedback, no active feedback required. We around here probably tend to enjoy the idea of training our own recommenders, but it’s not clear to me

If they want to make money, don’t they need you to stick around? As a side effect of making money, then, aren’t they incentivized to reduce the amount of large categories of content you’d find noxious? That doesn’t work as well for stuff th

The deranking in question happened in 2006 ? Goodness. That’s, what… more than half of the WWW’s lifetime ago? And 7 years since the 2017 judgment? The wheels of justice turn slow and all, but man… this has to come as awfully cold comfort

One option might be to visit your local Jetro or Restaurant Depot, if you live in the US. If Sysco has showrooms/open warehouses I’m not aware of them, but Jetro and RD are of a very similar ilk.

Competition might be part of that too: more money chasing the same number of eyeballs as the election season ramped up (for that matter, probably chasing a smaller number of eyeballs, as critical segments of swing voters became more clear)
