I'd love this if it was a CSS thing like when people embed Twits. I'm just not sure when you would want an image of code. Most likely use case seems like a README on github or your product page but then you'd want it to be pl

Why is it not good for heating? I'm sure resistance based electric heating is very efficient. I've lived in very cold places and the heat has almost always been electric or water heated by electric. You just need radiators. Northe

My gas fireplace still requires electricity to run. I know I can start it with a match if needed (and it has a pilot of course) but I'm not 100% sure if I can manually override the gas valve to open. It opens when I flip an electric sw

I'm all for more nuclear as a stopgap but they had to shut down large parts of their nuclear energy in TX because the water froze.

Also thinking longer term, climate change is making the polar vortex more unstable and more prone to "freak" incidents like this. Of course there has been zero thought put into any of the effects of that.

Natural gas plants also had to shut down. This was a systematic failure to plan for cold weather,

Eh I think that interface stinks. It's just physically very uncomfortable to tap on the headphones in your ear because of the loud noise and the headphone pressing deeper into your ear. I have a knockoff bluetooth "Pods" and

Yeah they just buy white label cheap commodities and will slap a new sticker on it if you “crack down” on them somehow

Are there any examples of such scissor statements? This reads like fiction and would be easy to prove by showing us one of these

I will say Object Oriented Programming has probably also had a giant impact on how we model game systems. Is functional programming on the Process end of the scale?

I don’t really understand how this is genius? Basic philosophy 101 and systems thinking concepts.

by redisman 6y ago
I agree. If you want to influence a art form like games or music or writing, you have to have skin in the game and release things. Telling others their way is wrong isn’t going to change anything, the burden is on you to present that your m

Especially in a game context, you usually have to pick a few details from the real world to simulate to make a compelling game. Too many variables and it gets hard for the player to track what's the cause and effect of what is happenin

I see it as a multi part process. 1) Generate a rough plot structure. Let's say even just do three acts: motivation -> conflict -> resolution. Now you have a logical throughline and your text generation algorithm doesn't nee

Sounds like your personal experience. Which is fine but there are thousands of companies and teams that have found it to be just as good or better than butts at the same physical office

I would think something like GPT-3 trained on classics and a specific genre would do good enough to pass some kind of book Turing test. Just make it follow Vonnegut’s “shape of stories” https://www.openculture.com/2014/

As a game developer I like Chris Crawford but it’s like someone should have told him decades ago that the first step of making game devs listen to you is to create games that are fun or interesting to play. Last thing of his I tested felt l

Science is always wrong to begin with and it gets close to a correct answer with iteration. It’s actually not at all a solved problem how to communicate “science” to the public. Your comment is a perfect example of one of these annoying fal

Can someone explain what these “speaking fees” Wall Street pays are really about? I doubt there’s any ROI so what is the point? They always seem about 100x of a reasonable rate.

That blackberry is an insane (kind of scary) species. It grows so fast and has immortal roots that will just sprout up somewhere else. Huge thorns to protect itself from animals and people, delicious big berries to help it propagate. How do

A good place to source trees is “Go Natives” in Richmond Beach. I went there this summer and they had hundreds of cedars and a great selection of native plants of all kinds.

by redisman 6y ago
I’ve been thinking about something similar one day. Buy a tract of land and just let it return to its native form with some help from me. Are there any obvious legal or financial pitfalls or hints you’ve gathered?

Amsterdam seems pretty ill-suited for a large population increase. Like San Francisco but worse because you have much stricter restrictions for almost all of the downtown area.

I do wonder how they'll cope with a large migration there. It's a very short and restricted building area.

This is not bad. Most of the destructive power of social media comes from micro targeting and the optimization for engagement(outrage). Both are properties of the advertising model. Not necessarily causally linked but they share them.
