I think it’s having a comeback, at least it’s popular at my kids elementary school - a pro came by to show it and all the kids wanted a set. Watching the videos of competitions with my kids was surprisingly fun

Yikes - I love foraging, but I am extremely conservative about what I eat. This makes me thankful I'm not a bold forager. My friend has a running joke calling Yew poison berries, but I never looked up the effects before. Great that you

Honestly show junior programmers a little more respect. It's such an old person thing to say they're going to all become prompt engineers or similar. Why does the old always look at the young and claim they're all pulled by t

I agree in the specific case that the state of the art is in a local maxima, but saying "the best way to approach a problem is by not being aware of disregarding previous attempts" ignores the much more frequent banal work of iter

I don’t know if many on orange site knew about New Games Journalism - a pre-gamergate attempt to talk about video games in personal and political terms, applying gonzo journalism to reviewing games. Mostly a push to take games seriously as

Yes, we would play the multiple heaps version at restaurants - Make a triangle out of sugar packets. I still play it with my kids. And yes - he invented the DigiComp II first, and Dr. Nim afterwards to convey the same concept more simply. T

Thanks, but I didn't do anything! He did a lot in his life, wish I realized that earlier and wrote more of it down. I have his original prototype: https://youtu.be/X_IUoFDMhZ8 Also was recently reading this about the h

My grandpa was a fan of Nim, and at restaurants we’d play with sugar packets while waiting for food. It’s a great game to entertain kids. He also invented Dr. Nim which some gray beards may be familiar with. Turing Tumble is an evolution of

I came into comments to post this but I guess the earley bird gets the worm. I have an Earley parser I’m very happy with which is in a project I’m going to open source soon, it’s nice to have a parser where you just don’t have to think abou

It's very ambiguously phrased in multiple ways because I don't edit my HN posts, but it is technically correct, just vague! He was one of the first employees at King, and I met him a year after King was acquired. The "they&qu

I don't remember that particular observation being in the book since it's very much about the upper class, but that book is amazing. I used to keep an rss feed of new project gutenberg books and when that popped up I read it just

Yeah I didn't mean to talk that down, it's just the most no-brainer thing to do. As in, it's so obviously a good idea that any good portfolio will have a chunk devoted to that.

I met someone who was an early employee at King about a year after they were acquired for 5.9b - it’s a little different since he wasn’t involved with the sale, but he was still processing the insane amount of money he had. A year on he had

Yes - this is exactly how I felt about the "Wokeness" essay. I am constantly afraid that PG is gonna fall down the same strongly right rabbit hole so many of his colleagues have, and he hasn't so far, so seeing the title of t

Honestly there are so many claims about Huawei but I think the loudest ones were about the 5G network which were BS but there were some that were legit, and this is exactly my point - it’s exhausting to check this stuff, so the vast majorit

Yeah, the insane takes spread faster but it takes more time and resources to look into it than just come to conclusions early. The worst thing is this creates an environment where most people are either completely credulous and buy into eve

Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if he actually made it himself (though I agree the inscription is hardly proof). We have this view of Kings as fat, lazy bureaucratic blowhards because we're closest to the tailend of the history o

I totally agree that moderation matters. But when you say "whenever we would come back to visit the US ... we would always have mild digestion issues and stomach cramps for a week or so" this does imply that there's something

Let me be more explicit about my point. I believe RFK genuinely wants to promote healthy living, and I agree with that. But Trump requires loyalty to be part of his inner circle and forcing RFK to eat mcds is getting RFK to prove that loyal

Someone can be a nutcase but be right about some things. Also, seeing photo of him slurping up McDonald’s on the plane, guess healthy food isn’t the highest priority for him? Just the one he’s loudest about

I think the previous posters point was that an LLM DM is boring due to it's generality and lacks the specific quirks of having a human DM with their own viewpoint and understanding of the players, which I agree with. I did some experim
