I find it so annoying that transhumanists got lumped with the weird AI millenarian eugenicists haha. Like, sure, there's overlap, but I doubt Shulamith Firestone would be eager to join MIRI.

Why wouldn't this sort of power totally warp the setting?

Because it's symbolic. Something something thaumagnetic interference patterns lol idk. I don't *want* players to overthink hobbits and eagles. I want them to focus on what is being conveyed. Vibes and allegory.

Some aspects of the plot don't really make sense if taken at face value. There's a seer who predicts the future and essentially telegrams assassination targets to his past self to retroactively assure his targets never come into being.

That's such a good distinction! I'm writing a convenient magic narrative and, like, that's not really a bad thing? You didn't mean it that way, of course, but preempting discourse, I think that's just descriptive.

1/3

Purely in terms of cause and effect, the end result of abandoning the copyright argument and tolerating the use of generative AI is most working artists being fired. Fascism is resurgent. Rights are stripped away, not granted. UBI isn't in the cards.

I don't think this is a good outcome.

Regardless of notation, there is a finite number so large that it can't be physically expressed in our universe. I do not think that therefore there is such a thing as a largest number, or that math that relies on doubling it is invalid. I feel similarly about the Chinese room.

There are definitely situations about which the blogger is right.

My point is more that people tend to care about the status of the speaker because it's actually a useful heuristic when discussing anything you can't verify for yourself. I think he's being a little uncharitable haha.

In an environment where you, as an individual, can't verify the truth of a statement yourself, all you have is the reputation of the person making it.

The source of a piece of information directly influences the weight you should give it iff you lack the expertise to gauge it yourself.

There are real examples of researchers who got away with fabricating results for years and years, and that's in the area of life where extraordinary measures are taken to safeguard the truth. Things get worse as you descend from scientist to journalist to layperson.

There are many cases where we must take the veracity of information on faith. Consider science. If the people involved conspire to lie to you about the results of an experiment, there is little you can do but either trust them or try to replicate it, which is often not feasible for an individual.

I argue that what they find and what they report can be different, so trust is crucial. Peer review is meant to mitigate the issue, but systems designed to safeguard systems can themselves be perverted, so in the end, it's down to trust.

I do not understand why you trust the people involved to not massage the data so it says whatever they want. Racist researchers have done this many times. Why expect more honesty from transphobic researchers?

If you'd like some pointers on how to draw something specific there are many specialized examples on this page.

You're doing pixel art, right? I highly recommend this short series of tutorials. They helped me a lot when I was just starting out. saint11.art/pixel_articl...

but i love design patterns i love abstract classes i love the demiurge why make "games" when you can endlessly refactor the animation queue

If you find an Estus Shard, bring it to me. So that I may ease your burden.

Are you the next monarch? Or merely a pawn of fate?
Bearer of the curse, seek hormones. Larger, more powerful hormones. That is the only way. Lest this land swallow you whole, as it has so many others.

I like and use them but they're tricky. If you @export an enum and later expand the list the variable might now map to another entry. Makes refactoring a pain.

Your best since Beep7

A bit less literal, but the most complicated code I ever wrote was for concurrent animation queues in a turn-based game, allowing your actions to start resolving instantly as long as they aren't visually contingent on unresolved ones.

Multiple things were never meant to happen at once haha.

Same.

Fair enough. I can't really argue one way or another. If it is truly more efficient then I can certainly see the case for it.

It absolutely is a terrible idea to try to threaten voters into choosing your preferred candidate. I don't disagree. My view is that politicians must be incentivized to not cross certain red lines.

As I see it, the aim is not to flip them. The aim is to let politicians know that they cannot both support certain policies and rule.

The existence of centrist fence sitters creates constant rightward pressure. If there are voters to be gained by giving in, but none to lose, the party drifts right.
