That one would be almost impossible to beat unless you recognise the the boom/bust cycle. It sounds interesting

I would like a slider mode. It’s very hard to do any sensible strategy with an all or nothing approach. If market goes up by 30% I want to progressively sell and vice versa
- Comment on Weapons for defense only 1 week ago:
Technically SAM systems are purely for defence but to get a complete set to defend you need a lot more than just anti-air.
Defence deterrent is based a lot on potential counter attack so if you don’t have a counter attack potential it’s kinda safe to attack you. Nuclear bombs are an example of this, they are the most aggressive and destructive which makes them very effective for deterrence.
One thing Ukraine has shown is that fortifications are super important which are purely defensive. But to guard a long defensive line without a massive standing army you need a crapton of drones which can be use both offensive and defensive.

This post was written by average red team enjoyer. Reds haven’t won anything since antiquity because they’re so inferior to Blue/Green. Even smooth brain green team supporters know this.

Major platforms already have a large portion of bot content. Online articles in Google searches are mostly bots. It’s trending upwards but there’s still a lot of human created content left. I would stay away from big tech social media to avoid bot content.

I guess it’s hard to explain how a program is a work of art and use the doctor’s note analogy but calligraphy and readability are definitely factors. Maybe if we’d consider a hypothetical note where you can’t do anything yourself but an idiot intern has to read it and follow the instructions exactly on what to do?

Empire total war on release, the battle AI was absolute garbage to the point where you can just start as the Netherlands, walk over to Paris and take their country.
Before everyone researches fire by rank you could just spread out the infantry and have 2x firepower. Cavalry charges straight into you, pathfinding was so bad that you’d have a single column of men moving through a wide area. Fucking loved it though, it was a grand strategy spectacle and naval battles felt intense.
I had fun unlocking the pirates via config file edit and spamming out general units from a single buccaneer sword infantry and took over all of the Americas.

US is a very flawed democracy, it’s a bad example. Unlike most European countries you can’t just vote both out so if both parties agree on something the public opinion doesn’t matter.
There are oligarchic elements in all democracies but the purpose of a rep democracy is that you can elect the most qualified person to do the job of sorting all the governing out full time.
To further illustrate the point, most votes for the presidency of the US just flat out don’t matter. You can’t even vote for your preferred candidate since there’s no runoff/ranked choice election in either primaries or presidential election and each state is a winner takes all so republicans in New York don’t get a say nor do Dems in Alabama.

I’ll personally shun you. Programming by hand is an art form, there are infinite ways to solve the same problem and resilience, security and UX are all spectrums. Programming style is so unique that in a company of 10 people without a linter you can kinda tell who wrote what based on style alone.
Take an upvote, this is exactly what OP requested.

I think cars should be outlawed in population centers with exceptions for product deliveries, mobility scooters and e-bikes. If you want your ikea furniture into your apartment you need to either fit it into a cargo bike setup or get it delivered by a company with a delivery license.
I hate cars

The way I see it is that you’d do it gradually by laying a foundation first such as crushes, why people get married and how girls start looking nicer.
Then you hammer it home on how to not get STDs and preggo. Then if they end up bringing someone home you introduce them to the “energy for the kid” vs “money for the kid” tradeoff for timing getting a baby and saying that not having one is fine too and their decision.
- Comment on Is coding possible on smart phones ? 5 weeks ago:
You can, but small upgrades go a long way. Upgrade path I’d go for is keyboard -> mouse -> monitor -> used pc/laptop.
Honestly though, if you’re going to spend some money on it buying a used bargain bin laptop and installing Linux on it will be nice. Plenty of used laptops in $100-200 range are good enough.

- Comment on Vibe management 2 months ago:
This is what happens when you reward people based on token usage. People no joke can just put in before every PR “review every detail, be very thorough, make sure it fits into everything, check for every possible undefined behavior etc.” while giving the model a massive doc with list of all files in the project.
Not even sure if they check the prompts because “review formatting of the entire codebase” is also super heavy in a large repo but if prompts get checked it’s an obvious token sink.
The model will just ransack the whole project every time through the whole stack when you could enforce a contract with a couple of tests with strict input validation.
Uber has the dumbest AI policy in the industry.

Gold price would lower until it’s the same price as it costs to mine and bring it to earth, if that’s at all lower than whatever it’s currently.
