Yeah I really like Godot and you're right, the third parties are working hard on that front. It's been a trial for them though. I guess the roots with King have made things easier for Defold?

I remember when Unity first appeared and what it felt like to read its materials, its pitch. It was like... whoa, this might actually be something. This feels similar. Sometimes you can just tell by the communications and the spirit of the

Yeah the Wim Hof breathing feels more like a challenge or test that you come down from than a relaxing thing. Consistent with his "jump in ice water" thing.

I did it when I was really working on myself emotionally and it was for a limited time. It could be a bit scary because of the extreme feeling of lightheadedness. But it did cause a pseudo euphoric feeling too. Afterward I felt invigorated

I got into doing this Wim Hof breathing exercise a few years ago and it was definitely intense. Unsure if this is related but sounds similar. https://youtu.be/0BNejY1e9ik?si=kgBBUhqMe9HWaKCG

You only have control over yourself.

Focus on yourself. Make you better today. If you like to code and the patterns of using AI to code are bumming you out, break that down a bit and change your patterns. Use AI to teach you instead. Use it to write the mundane stuff to let yo

It's likely a position that is responsible for protecting the company from doing anything really stupid. Ostensibly it's about protecting users from the AI doing unexpected things, but it's also about having a designated worr

While I agree the experience of using the model will be improved with that knowledge, the memory you build should belong to YOU and not them. In fact, they shouldn't even be able to look at it for any other purpose than to serve you. I

my best friend’s parents bought this and kept it in their bedroom for some reason. They allowed us to play with it, but it had no storage they didn’t buy anything to go with it. So we would just type programs in from magazines and the worst

This is a great reason to learn from our mistakes of the 2010s and not give ourselves away to OpenAI and other cloud AI providers. I would like to see a memory provider/system that allows us to own this data and put OpenAI et al on the

I really wonder how the availability of Starlink affects these sorts of projects.

The problem is not whether Zuck allows free speech on his platforms. The problem is that his platforms are so powerful that it matters whether he does or not.

Sure, my post was not expansive enough to account for criminals and the mentally ill. The bottom I referred to is for people without means, but with capacity to care for themselves. The hard part of that conversation is that we consider cri

Sure, a true safety net. The "worst case scenario" would be that you're eating government rice and beans, living in a dorm, safe and able to get the basics including internet so you can get back on your feet. This type of thi

UBI is great on an individual level, but as we saw with the Covid Stimulus payments in the US, they cannot help but be quite inflationary. That's my biggest worry about injecting huge amounts of money into a system that is truly univer

I find coworking spaces with other people around hits on thos effect. You don’t even have to be near the people, just in the same area. And on the flip side, it seems there is no remote way of getting the same feeling. Even having my busine

Values alone leads to supporting solutions that sound good but don’t work. “Free money for everyone” speaks to values of equity, fairness, and empathy… while creating all kinds of side effects like inflation. If you are going to focus on va

I just replaced the seat back on my 2005 Aeron chair as well. Feels good to take an old thing and make it feel new. These kinds of opportunities need to be designed into products, but maybe even more importantly, people need to value those

Yeah Blender might be a good model here.

This is a wonderful idea and could succeed if the creator could rally the right devs and users. What it really needs is Ubuntu tier branding and UX work. This has been a rarity in the Linux desktop space. I am hopeful SteamOS will bring us

Is this any different than saying that nowadays most people in the USA are physically weaker and less able to work on a farm than their predecessors? Sure, it's not optimal through certain lenses, but through other lenses it is an impr

25 years in the game industry. This is worth a try. I would rather see individuals derisked more so they can be creative and happy. This may mean top performers make less and crappy workers don’t leave fast enough. It is worth the risk of t

That's like saying you should abandon the Earth. There's a multitude of ways to be a part of and use The Internet. Then again, there are those that believe Mars is the only answer.

I love that you did this and I think it's some reassurance. Agree that the "main" payload has always been what I suspected they were cheating on. They are highly, highly incentivized to listen for other words and at the very

That's always been my perspective. The incentive for busting Amazon on this is so high, if it were provable then someone would have done it and the press would love to share that. My point is it no longer matters. We're out.

I know this single bit of news isn't the biggest deal. However we were talking at the dinner table, my wife and two kids and I. We just decided we're done with Amazon and Alexa. My wife has always been skeeved out by the devices,

So on one hand, sure, Amazon isn't trustworthy. On the other hand, the big question with Echo/Alexa has always been "is it listening to me all the time?". My understanding is that people have snooped the devices and they
