I think my neighbor has a horse? I guess I could ask.

I think something worth noting about older games too is that they didn’t try and deal with many of their limitations head on. In fact many actually took advantage of their limitations to give the feeling of doing more than they actually were. For example, pixel perfect verus crt. Many 8 bit and 16 bit games were designed specifically for televisions and monitors that would create the effect of having more complexity than they were actually capable of. Other things like clever layout designs in games to limit draw distance, or bringing that in as a functional aspect of the game.

The technical limitations seem largely resolved by current technology, where previously things were made to look and feel better than the hardware allowed through clever planning and engineering.

WEIIIIIILLL AaAAAHHLWWWAYS love EUGHYOUUUUUU

moo point.

you know, the kind of thing a cow would say.

2020 was a glorious year for punching fascists.

easily 20% of registered Democrats.

Quick post memes about how much better Portland is than Seattle

Almost assuredly not, but we know so little about abiogenisis, its entirely plausible to consider that there may have been multiple origins of life on earth. The nature of cellularization, and DNA first versus RNA first models for life (or perhaps even some other “3rd” biomolecule? maybe surface level interactions on clay?), or even RNA only models. It may well be that there are other sources for abiogensis that are extraterrestrial, but that doesn’t overcome things like the concentration dilemma (you need some biophysical process to concentration “enough” of these interesting biomolecules to do meaningful stuff).

So extra terrestrial things that stand on legs and have heads and eyes? Almost assuredly not. But it may well be that we’ve been repeatedly (or continuously) colonized by extra-terrestrial bio-molecules. I still hold out for some missions to features like Pluto where there is obviously a kind of deep-ice geochemical cycle happening (freeze-thaw based on coming close/ further to the sun). In these cycles there might be opportunities for basic biomolecules to form and accumulate. Slam a big chunk of it into a planet that is at least cool enough to have liquid water, and a geochemical cycle, that might be all you need.

First I recommend at least reading the wikipedia on super-intelligence.

Second, I recommend playing this game: https://www.decisionproblem.com/paperclips/index2.html

Because if you can get a program to write a program, that can both a) write it self, and b) improve upon the program in some way, you can put together a feedback where exponential improvement is possible.

Yeah idk. I spend a inordinate amount of time talking about tides and watching them, but generally only high and low are focused on because the midtide is when the water is changing the fastest. The water spends more time at high or low than it does I. the middle, so it’s not really noticable.

That makes total sense. And I would guess decentralized hosting or federated hosting couldn’t meet this need?

Looks like Joe Rogan if he worked at Gringots bank as a drug dealer.

Flash for Dummies was my first book on programing. I used it to make games about feces.

The water distribution company is not, to my knowledge, held liable when something happens like you fill a bucket of water and share it with someone else.

No but they are liable if there is lead in the water, even if they don’t know it.

fuck I started leaning to program in flash specifically because of videos like this.

Yeah I’ve thought a tiny bit about this but it gets dodgy with things like csam.

How do we address some one uploading stuff that would get you arrested?
