The answer is 42.

Love this -- and plays great on desktop and mobile. I am making a different sea-faring game focused on merchant trading in the age of Marco Polo, would you mind if I asked you a few questions to compare notes on sailing and 2.5D graphics? is there a way to DM you.

It's really not fun to spend an hour going zig zag against the wind... That's why there is no sailing simulator I guess.

When people have 20 priorities and the company culture and process celebrates that. That's when meetings become the only forcing function. Sad but true and effective.

Still better than 'mot de passe' (password)

Iconic Planescape-setting Dungeons & Dragons game Planescape: Torment is getting a content expansion from a group of fans this year.

Legal?

Our first job is not: to code. Our first job is: not to code.

source?

a.k.a "Humans are unsurprisingly such simpletons when forming their mental model of reality, and always oversimplify."

Book industry or just the publishers? Show me a single author who loves publishers

The whole sci-fi short story and movie Arrival is based on this concept

Maybe English is not a mind-opening language :(

This!

I want my kids to do the same but are really unclear as to how this is done today without BASIC. I am not psyched about tools that help you merely build platformers with WYSIWYG.

Any ideas?

This article assumes your passions are highly monetizable.

Welcome giant sweeping generalizations that are unsupported by data nor stringent arguments.

It does not bother me that the Money and Shopping sections of CNN are run with content by another firm that specializes in interest based articles while the core of CNN remains focused on world news.

When you show the distribution at the end, it'd be cool to be able to select my own threshold not based on the test results but my reaction in the moment to the color palette. I found that the distribution did not line up with where I'd draw the line.

Pandora, Pandora, Pandora. No other service for me worked to reveal new songs and artists I did not know about that nailed my taste. But Pandora relies on manual tagging by music experts. Fantastic, but probably not very scalable.

Importantly, Liu’s books basically abandon the very same idea in the second and third books of the series (aliens that very actively battle across the galaxy and have many many opportunities to interact, which kind of undermines the premises of the dark forest argument)

From a newbie here, Aside from the one (and sufficient) self referential formula, have we come up with other examples of non decidable propositions that are meaningful?

AWS was first to market for many years, and their margins were always higher than ecommerce retail (and that's easy to believe, since retail often runs on 1% margins)

If you read the other essays he also says you do things manually as the founder first to learn the specifics that matter but then you scale it (typically by hiring someone, or via code) when you have learned very well how it should scale.

My experience is that roundabouts help but don't solve. E.g. if there is a complete traffic jam, you may actually increase the risk of collision due to negotiations about right of way happening every time a car can move forward.

Some cities in Europe have so many roundabouts, and two or three lane roundabouts with complex exit decisions you need to make on a split second - it's actually very confusing to navigate.

The answer from the paper:

"By sending an email that repels all but the most gullible the scammer gets the most promising marks to self-select, and tilts the true to false positive ratio in his favor."

Basically the scammer needs to reduce false positives (email recipients who are unlikely to become victims) and adding some outlandish detail ensures that only the real fools will be fooled.

Reminds me of a school class mate who had a very low success rate with girls, and switched successfully to better odds by a similar strategy: "If you talk about you, and your life, and where you come from for ten minutes, and she is still there listening, then you know you have a chance."

Progressive = porn-enabling? No real good reason = let’s have kids use this without limiting their imagination nor psychological damage?

(1) You can't assume losing half of staff is a downside. RTO is a great solution for bloated companies which overhired during the pandemic. (2) On the flip side, RTO is only a lever for large tech companies who pay great salaries. Startups' advantage is that they can compete for talent by offering remote work that large companies are not willing to offer due to their large real estate commitments. You may just be better off embracing remote work forever.

Fair to say most of humankind’s time then has been spent staring at small digital screens.

Can you share some examples of Soviet SF? Should be quite exciting.
