I'm not American, nor am I a libertarian. I'm a socialist Arab. I still object to communism, and populist memes like "eat the rich." At best they're immature, at worst they're agents of chaos and destruction wh

Your first step is "take" and your second step is "figure it out". If you did figure it out, you wouldn't have to be forcefully taking. Are you assuming we already have enough resources to solve poverty? Isn't

You can do us a favor and outline for us how doing that is a first step to solving poverty. Otherwise it seems like you just regurgitated a populist meme.

I'm skeptical of how the results of the educational field apply to the individual. They deal with very specific constraints because of classroom economy. If your stated goal is to get every child in this room to read, then you're

I put that in quotes because I didn't want to emphasize the terminology but maybe it didn't work. Whatever they call them, players treat games with equal opponents who can win, and games that are only a series of challenge entirel

Maybe I focused too much on the terms. They certainly don't think of the word puzzle, but they do treat them as that. Someone playing Zelda doesn't go into it ever expecting Ganondor to try to win. The player either solves the gam

There's a solid game design framework underlying that choice, beyond just being smoke and mirrors. Most single player games are not "true games". They are puzzles. This is also how players perceive them. As defined by Chris C

"Lore" has infested all of nerd media. You'd think it would make stories richer, but it has such a shaping effect on story that they all feel the same. Every character has a background, every history has a history, politics,

If you look at basic zergling vs zealot combat in SC1 vs SC2 you'll see what I'm saying. In SC2 they almost move like liquid and they don't form accidental choke points. The fight is over much faster and simply rewards the be

My insinuation of a political reason come after a glaring exclusion and complete silence when asked. Answering the question would help clarify their position. Yes I'm talking about Bing's chat AI. There is absolutely no indication

Don't state things like that factually unless you have some knowledge in that field or at least first hand experience. Regurgitating your impression from second hand stories and media narratives is how you stereotype and other people.

OpenAI does not offer its services in Saudi Arabia. Saudis are blocked from registering. It's not a government block which works entirely differently and shows you a page explaining that it is blocked. If it's blocked for politica

In game design terms it's interesting how old games pathfinding is so much better than modern games. If pathfinding is too efficient, and the same for all units, then the micro aspect of the game is killed. Micro is the "real time

I call this "throwing cards in a hat phenomena". Even if we have brain-interface full immersion virtual reality, you can still have fun throwing cards into a hat. In fact you will prefer it. Games are like food rather than cars. I

Nintendo would be successful even without hardware. Their IPs have firmly planted themselves in global awareness to an unimaginable level. They'd give Disney a run for their money. Then on top of that they built an ecosystem of toys an

No it was just continuing the status quo. Apple explicitly said they used Valve's Steam as a reference for monetizing a digital app store.

I've thought about this a lot, and this is happening in real time where I am in Saudi Arabia. The break neck transition from single income households to double income households. Employment is never a choice. You either can't work

Land is effectively infinite. But it's a non-fungible ranked good. For something like real estate your entire lifestyle depends on your ranking, including ability to work. It's a community wide constant auction. It is naturally a

I agree with everything you said. Of course everything you said is a description of the reasons that go into making it less common. I disagree with the prescription that it shouldn't/couldn't. Saying something is unlikely is
