What makes everyone in this thread so confident that it isn't sentient?

We tend to hire multiple developers in bursts, and recycle our text between months. We only remove the role-specific blurb if we hit capacity for that role. So, not sure this methodology identify quite what you're looking for.

Ah, some estimates put it as high as $20B, some as low as $3B. Still, two nice fabs would be cooler than twitter.

Has domestic manufacturing ramped up in the US since covid? Or is this purely a demand side signal of consumers tightening their purse strings?

For anyone curious in gaining a more intuitive understanding of this good answer, I highly recommend playing a few hours of Kerbal Space Program. Hitting the sun is both hard and expensive: things in orbit want to stay in orbit, so it tak

From what I've read, natural gas power plants have much higher efficiency than point of use. Powerplants try to squeeze every last drop of energy out of the inputs and their byproducts, whereas a home stove just lets energy and byprod

Why not just apply a gradually increasing natural gas tax across the state? Wouldn't that have a similar effect to a ban-for-future construction, provide consumers with choices, and generate revenue?

As society continues approaching cyberpunk dystopia, I wouldn't be surprised if office workers would start paying to stay and work on farms to reconnect with land/nature. Pick-yourself farms are big here - feels like the first ste

The entire premise of that thread is questionable. Sustainably managed rotaional grazing pasture fed beef is a grassland ecosystem, quite similar to what much of the United States looked like when buffalo roamed before european-heritage

Journeyman Project 3: Legacy of Time was very cool - Myst style point and click puzzle game. It probably feels very dated now though.

How does the blockchain know you actually have a couch? How do you prevent someone from listing their toenail clippings for $1T?

Feedback is incredible powerful. I built a game about a decade ago, and having the game in players hands was so revelatory. Highly recommend.

Factorio style component logicstics mixed with Kerbal Space Program style micromanagement of functional designs would be a blast. Make me design an assembler for assembling my own robot arms, then strap them to a cart (that I assembled in a

Dyson Sphere Program is a decent mashup of Factorio and Planetary Annihilation, IMO. You might enjoy it.

Most MMOs are overly focused on player engagement. MMOs should have built in botting mechanics, so you can just let your player do the tedious stuff while you are asleep/working/living real life. Let me set my character up to run

An evolution simulator that can simulate a 3+ layer food chain, both animals and plants. With enough degrees of evolutionary freedom for evolved organisms to surprise and delight. I took a crack at it about a decade ago. It's hard. Wa

You'd need a zeppelin sized bladder to lift a moderately sized farm vehicle. I think it would likely be impractical due to wind. I think sets of 3 towers with cables between them so tools could be translated within their boundaries, k

There would need to be some tight regs to make that work, or else large companies would buy up all the housing supply and force everyone to pay them rent. I think individual home ownership is important, and thats not where I'd want to

Underscores the fallaciousness of thinking paper gains are wealth. Profits aren't real until you have to pay taxes on them.
