listic··on Procedural content generation: creating a universe (2015)

Not funny.

I'm rather thinking about how one would go about making a procedurally generated Twitter.

listic··on De-Googled Android Experience

There's also LineageOS for MicroG [1] which bakes in MicroG for you. Then there's the unfortunately named /e/ [2] which is based on the former and trying to build a usable privacy-focused mobile OS on top of that.

listic··on Procedural content generation: creating a universe (2015)

I am toying with the idea of constructing a virtual social network of artificial persons. It should have a population of artificial people each having a believable friends and family.

How do I go about making a believable social graph?

Is this applicable to all Pie phones or just your particular one? I wonder why did they do it.

listic··on Why I'm usually unnerved when modern SSDs die on us

why something custom? shouldn't you just solder the chips into an identical donor ssd?

listic··on Nasa's Voyager 2 probe 'leaves the Solar System'

Have we been able to launch faster spacecraft since? I'm thinking whether there could potentially be a newer interstellar probe that could overtake the Voyagers 1 and 2 on the way out of the Solar system.

listic··on Microsoft is building a Chromium browser to replace Edge on Windows 10

Does mobile Firefox come with Ublock Origin built-in?

listic··on One of the world’s most visited websites that nobody is aware of (2017)

> His platform is full of PDF files that are copied from other sites and re-hosted. This is illegal

Isn't 'illegal' a bit strong term for that?

listic··on Scooters are taking cars off the road, a survey says

What are dockless scooters?

listic··on First analysis of how Uber and Lyft have affected roadway congestion in SF

The kick scooters, you mean? Not the motor kind: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Y6fYNT3es4

Could you please provide a link? I can't seem to find it.

listic··on Apple self-driving car in accident: California DMV filing

> Instead of many stand-alone embedded systems each doing one thing, we’ll have cheap dumb sensors and actuators controlled by software on a single central control board, running some sort of operating system

Is the approach of having a network of stand-alone embedded systems each doing one thing really going away? I thought it is a sensible way of handling complexity.

listic··on Launch HN: Nutrigene (YC W18) – Tailor-made liquid supplements using health data

iHerb ships to over 150 countries, somehow. As well as many online stores that ship almost everywhere.

I am not sure what kind of problem there can be in shipping supplements, which are unregulated by definition.

Why not ship worldwide all at once?

listic··on Microsoft launches Windows 10 on ARM

I dunno, it seems a lot to ask to not fracture the entire desktop.

Matching the perfomance of 91W-class i7's found in iMacs would take a lot of ARM. 45W-class i7's in Macbook Pro's are quite powerful, too.
