Which he’s still working on.
People can do 2 things.
- Comment on What is a good eli5 analogy for GenAI not "knowing" what they say? 3 days ago:
I’m not positive I’m understanding your term naturalistic but no neuroscientist would say “we are just neurons”. Similarly no neuroscientist would deny that neurons are a fundamental part of consciousness and thought.
You have plenty of complex chemical processes interacting with your brain constantly - the neurons there aren’t all of who you are.
But without the neurons there: you aren’t anyone anymore. You cease to live. Destroying some of those neurons will change you fundamentally.
There’s no disputing this.

Kalih Choc are great. I like that plan.

Thanks for the clarification on reputable vendors! I’ve always wondered where the right place to buy lithium was.

I’m not able to watch the video at the moment: is it ARM instead?
I think arm architecture are only going to become more prevalent with the success of the M line macs
- Comment on Glorious Victory 1 week ago:
They won’t be back - they’re not leaving.
But that phrase also seems like pretty normal rationalizing in an apology.
If I had to bet it was mostly steam issuing refunds and pulling the game in more than 100 countries that changed their mind.

They specifically said “not moving forward”. Seems pretty clear and concise. No PSN requirement.

8 million is dramatically underselling how many people live in the metro area - that’s only the city limits.
- Comment on Manor Lords is off to a flying start on Steam, just hours after its early access release 2 weeks ago:
Based on reviews I’ve read there are some issues but it’s a small dev team (1 man shop iirc) and it’s the best medieval city builder since Banished according to reviews.

I think you could probably take one of the better stepmom books and just read it. If it’s good it’ll have advice that works regardless of gender.
Best of luck on being a great dad. You got this.
- Comment on Apple pulls WhatsApp, Threads and Signal from app store in China 4 weeks ago:
I’m not sure how much the tiktok ban will be balkanization so much as just the death of the product. It’s popular in the EU but not nearly to the extent as the US market.
No idea who would step into tiktok’s shoes in the advent of a ban. Hopefully not any of the big players - their offerings all blow compared to TT.

It works everywhere on the other phone OS 😉
- Comment on Apple pulls WhatsApp, Threads and Signal from app store in China 4 weeks ago:
Aka if you void your warranty and crack your phone OS - something that Apple fights at every turn. If you run your phone in unsafe and unfriendly ways then you can do something Android supports natively by default.
See! They’re totally the same guys! Buy iPhones 🤡
- Comment on Anon's brother hates concrete 4 weeks ago:
Yes but I’m currently traveling and have very limited Internet access… I’ll try and remember to do this in a couple weeks when I’m back into good connectivity.
Plus being home will let me pull out my Big Book of Brutalism to reference.
- Comment on Anon's brother hates concrete 4 weeks ago:
Brutalism is beautiful in its simplicity and honesty. Combine that with some green and it’s a 10/10 to me.
Give me a verdant bunker any day.
- Comment on Anon's brother hates concrete 4 weeks ago:
I love being around them. Visiting Tokyo right now and there are so many gorgeous concrete buildings.
The last thing I’d want is to live in a city that was so stuck in the past that all buildings look 100 years old.
Give me buildings from the 2020s not the 1920s. Give me sleek and light concrete, metal and glass.
Death to brick and wrought iron.
- Comment on Anon's brother hates concrete 4 weeks ago:
Cheap brutalism can look good.
- Comment on Anon's brother hates concrete 4 weeks ago:
To you.
The peak of brutality architecture beats any other type in my eyes. It’s beautiful in a way no other building or style compares.
- Comment on Casually dropped this tidbit 4 weeks ago:
64% of the time 10 bees chose 0 is statistically significant but not with a low p-value.
You’d need to invest a lot more time and effort into proving this to get the P-value lower and I don’t expect many institutions are willing to train 1000 bees to try and figure out if they get 0 or not.
- Comment on D&D makers also want a Baldur’s Gate 4, but say they won't rush to a sequel (it shouldn't take 25 years, mind) 4 weeks ago:
Why would you guess that? It’s so out of character for them

Limoncello of goats (technically that’d be dei Capri…)
- Comment on Why there are 861 roguelike deckbuilders on Steam all of a sudden 4 weeks ago:
Sorry I interpreted
I really think it deserves its own genre.
As a statement calling for a genre with it’s own name.

Hospitals that make profits shouldn’t.
Hospitals should never ever be profitable. Break even only.

Didn’t we start this chain by saying this genre needs it’s own name?

- Comment on Why there are 861 roguelike deckbuilders on Steam all of a sudden 4 weeks ago:
Soulslike and Metroidvania spring to mind.
As games become more and more complex these kind of genre defining sets will become more common I think.
- Comment on Why there are 861 roguelike deckbuilders on Steam all of a sudden 4 weeks ago:
Rogue was the start of the genre - games that came after we’re always measured against it.
Rogue was a dungeon crawler - a type of game that had been done plenty of times before. Starting over on death had also been done.
But it became genre defining by being the best at both.
Spire I’d say is similar. It is genre defining because the combination of gameplay elements was so perfectly executed that it will become the measuring stick against which all roguelike deck builders will be measured. So Spirelike fits, I think.
- Comment on Why there are 861 roguelike deckbuilders on Steam all of a sudden 4 weeks ago:
Right but Rogue isn’t much like modern Roguelikes either. It’s still the genre.
- Comment on Why there are 861 roguelike deckbuilders on Steam all of a sudden 4 weeks ago:
The genre can be called “rogue like deck builder” all you want, we all know what it really is: “Spirelike”
