That NPC is still in you, you just got added. It cant speak for itself, not with words, so you are free to tell the story that it's just you in there.

If you are an agent in a physical reality you need an internal model of that physical reality to have mastery over it; a way to simulate actions and outcomes with reasonable precision. There are infinitely many such models. Humans are born

Reeder 5 is out and is fantastic. It also has a built-in RSS aggregator that is synced to all of your Apple devices via iCloud.

No, it's actually worse. The heat pump will make that same compressor noise when cooling in the summer AND heating in the winter.

I think the current offering is worth it. If / when they change it for much worse I might join the riots then.

You are missing something key. There is a very popular strategy that YouTube and Uber and a bunch of other companies followed. If you have a product with network effects you don't sell it for what it's worth right away. First, you

Seems fun. One suggestion: ensure that the solution is unique. I just got a puzzle with two solutions. https://i.postimg.cc/L5bbp2Hy/Screenshot-2024-01-08-at-7-06-...

The optimal amount of X under the assumption that it costs more and more resources to reduce X is non-zero. It's this middle part that you omitted that turns an unintuitive statement into an obvious one.

I didn't say it wasn't popular. I said I doubted half the people on the planet would say that it tastes 'so good.' But doing some research, I was definitely underestimating how popular it is in India and even China.

Title should be: "What gives cheddar cheese its flavor?" I doubt most people would agree that it tastes 'so good' and nothing is said about why a fan would find that flavor good.

The three body problem is impossible to solve analytically. The state space is clearly all connected but in a way that cannot be short-cut. You have to walk it deterministically one state at a time. Once you reach some interesting state, yo

Some science gets done to gather metrics. Those metrics get oversimplified into broad public advice. Following this advice to the letter circumvents both the public messaging intent and the related science. "Do what we meant not what w

https://youtu.be/krtf-v19TJg?si=Tpa3EW88Z__wfOQy&t=75 You can 'represent' the process of summing an infinite number of positive powers of x as a formula. That formula corresponds 1:1 to the process only for -1

This is such a bad saying. I guess all the people who switched this year should have waited until now, because now is a better time to switch?

Hard to quantify 'deadly' but kinetic energy is proportional to velocity squared. 100mph has 23% more kinetic energy than 90mph and 56% more than 80mph.

One person doesn't do this, a company does, a hierarchy of jobs. An entity without a conscience built from entities with a conscience. Very clever.

Apologies. I was simply attacking the quote. I did not mean to comment on your other words. Reading my comment now I see how "how about you" can sound like I am talking to you. I meant it like, the modified quote was being said by

That quote is pirate propaganda. 1) All of the heavy lifting is done sneakily by the word "purchasing." Of course "purchasing" something feels like you ought to own it, but did you "purchase" X or did you just

I don't watch many movies but in the ending of the Spiderman video game (Spoilers:) there is a deadly virus going around and aunt May is on her deathbed from it. Spiderman gets just enough antiserum to save her or to study it and make

Reasonable but irrelevant arguments. Esport games are essentially defined by their demand for low network latency which is precisely the main difficulty with cloud gaming.

I am reading your original comment as "I prefer the color green to the number seven" coupled with an implication that it is common to compare green to seven, and that there are obvious situations where green can be used instead of

I don't want a cheap charging brick with my $1,200 phone. And I don't want to pay more for a nice brick to be included either because I already have one. Good bricks outlive phones. No brick is much better. Buy whatever brick you

You are correct in lampooning the word "force" but don't throw out the baby with the bathwater. The point is still valid. Also, it seems obvious that the danger is in long-term ecosystem implications. "I haven't had
