One thing I find it really great for is language learning. It can create examples, explain grammar, contrast to languages you already know etc. Also I'm not a sys admin but occasionally have to do sys admin things and I ask for the she

Remakes make business sense. Every game is a risk. A portfolio of products that includes remakes reduces that risk. A game that was previously popular is easier to remaster than trying to make some new that's less tested. There are alw

When the same is asked of the Romans a common reply is that they had a mass of slave labour and that removes some of the incentives for automation. But the Egyptians didn't even have much knowledge of making iron until very late - cont

I'd be interested to see some non-text super-IDE integrated programming languages. Maybe even hosted in the webbroswer. I think that's interesting territory that can unlock a lot of value. Simple instant variable renaming, far bet

For me, I think there's an element of "discoverability" that most programming languages doesn't have. With a visual scripting language you can literally see the nodes you can use and drag them on a canvas with a reasonab

It might be a bit of "faster horse" desire but I'd love to have a VR library if the fidelity was good enough. I mean virtual 1:1 representations of books, that I can make margin notes in etc. Then when I move I don't hav

Github could do well to help here. In LinkedIn for recruiters you have auto responses "I'm not interested" etc. Github could do something similar, possibly with a "mute this conversation" option. And if someone is g

I guess for now we can't know - but were they truly modern humans? They might have had the same hardware but the cultural/consciousness software may have been far different than what we have today. It's fun to think about, bo

This depends what you mean "works", if it's meant on the technical conceptual level that yes, of course, I think no one would disagree. If it's taken to mean had widespread and growing usage at the social level, then I t
