I've never played it, so I really can't speak to the though, but my obvious comparison is Minecraft. I really think the deep lore of Minecraft does a lot of work. When you find a new and interesting random place to explore, it usu

I'm in SF. I agree it's a wedge issue. My concern is that those of us on the left are losing. This entire thread started by being about my belief that we aren't falling into a fascist hole, even if we did elect a fascist a

I’m fine with a burst of traffic… that’s what it’s designed for. What it’s not designed for is 24-7-365 being slowly pinged on every single page (thousands), by every single robot (thousands).

I'm a liberal democrat. I'm just going to be up front about that. I think the left has made some real tactical errors in their policy, and it's upsetting people. Most people just want to live their lives and are fine with oth

I don’t think it’s over, we’ve just hit the end of post war prosperity, and we are shifting our parties’ respective structures. The idea that we’ve literally never elected any president younger than a boomer is telling. The party is facing

I've been into investing for my entire adult life, and base my strategy mostly on John Neff's work on total return. I have missed out on a lot of investments in the QE period, because many of them seem like "if this mid-level

I think people attended those as sort of a nightly news service. Where intellectuals would talk about the days events. Now, with modern tech, people can do that from their own how with experts just by watching the news or youtube. I really

I will never stop being a regular at the local bar. I may switch to NA beers as I get older, but it is entirely important to me to engage in the rituals that predate history. Having a local bar/pub, generally walking distance away from

This is a good suggestion, and I'll think long and hard about it. My biggest concern is that the type of people who would contribute to such a public project are the type of folks who would be offended at the use of AI in general. That

Yes... that's because we're talking about externalities that an electorate wants to go away, but doesn't want to actually pay for. The entire problem is that we aren't paying the actual cost of what we are consuming, a

Philosophy will help you in ways that don't directly get you paid. Ultimately philosophy is the study of how to think. The number of arguments I've had about "AI" with friends has me facepalming regularly. Understanding

I have multiple degrees in philosophy and I have no idea what this article is even trying to say. If anyone has access to the full article, I’m interested, but it sounds like a lot of buzzwords and not a ton of substance. The framing of ai
