> It’s also in my opinion a poorly designed language but that also makes it “interesting” because its behavior is sometimes hard to predict. Following this logic, any broken device is equally interesting as its behavior is sometimes hard

I see what you did here - you assumed sapient animals HAVE to create technological civilization, didn't you? Maybe they are sapient - you know, like the dolphins from the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy :)

> China has stricter regulations on models than the US. For example you can't release a model if the hallucination rate is above a certain threshold. I wasn't aware of that, so I checked - and indeed, there are some firm regula

Wait, so you're taking ~26 pictures every single day for the last 25 years?

You know, I would also love to see 60fps, but let's wait till the premiere, and then - just show me the list of games with that level of details and rich world running 60fps on machines like xbox or ps5.

I think that's something younger players are looking for ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Anyway, I - as an old chap - am still going to have fun playing!

I don't get it about the isometric mode allergy - I personally love such games and feel I'm not the only one.

For Syndicate I tried Satellite Reign - it was ~10 years ago, and despite great graphics back then, I was disappointed by the fact you couldn't even drive cars (where it was a possibility in 1993!); bummer! So if anyone knows a better

Wait, but you compare the cost of animated show or a movie which is in its final, acceptable quality! The cost of that $15 per 30sec is NOT FINAL - you'll pretty much end up deciding you want another take - either due to some inconsist

Now look at the same metric per capita - USA immediately loses its 1st place.

That's not what the article is about. The author describes using AI Note takers in PRIVATE meetings :) That's astonishing for me, first time I hear about such a practice

I'm (again) shocked that so poor article on UBI triggers any serious discussion: I mean, where's a math behind it? For US alone 1400usd for each adult and 500usd for kid would generate...4,95 trillion fucking dollars annually! Won

WOW, that's amazingly dystopian! It’s fascinating, even terrifying how the AI perfectly replicated the exact cognitive distortion we’ve spent decades trying to legislate out of human-to-human relationships. We've shifted our legal

That's super-interesting experiment, but I wouldn't start it in such a large country as USA. Why won't humanity test it on a smaller scale? In Belgium (Ostbelgien) the German-speaking community has a permanent sortition-based

This sounds like the 'Future Time Reference' hypothesis by Keith Chen (2013). It’s indeed a fascinating idea, but it’s essentially an example of Galton’s problem (treating related cultures/languages as independent data points

That sounds less like “70-hour weeks” and more like admitting only ~30 of those hours matter - everything else is vibes and calendar theater. Which kind of proves the point: forced 996 optimizes for visible suffering, not actual output or u

I say this as someone who loves SF and deeply mourns its decline: I think the genre painted itself into a corner by focusing too much on "Hard SF." In my view, an obsession with technology has often been a crutch for weaker storyt

I wouldn't blame the demographic shift on female readers; I’d blame the accountants. The publishing industry hasn't been killed by women, but by risk aversion. Truly groundbreaking SF requires betting on bold, novel, and often wei

I’d argue that SF should never have "grown up." Look at the works considered classics today, like Heinlein, or even Star Trek. At the time of release, they were often dismissed as unserious (TOS famously had scientific blunders li
