Is there any plans for expansions? I find the different maps to be less interesting. I want some kind of harder progression, higher levels of difficulties and of course more of everything that exists.
I found myself out of stuff to do at ~20 hours (which is awesome and beats a lot of games I've tried to buy.).
I don't have any involvement in OSS besides using it at my job, but I still enjoyed the post because of the notes on AI. I have noticed a similar disconnect in technical discussions between those who see the use of AI as a multiplier and those who don't yet see the value in it.
The company I work for has embraced Copilot heavily and its been an absolute game changer in terms of productivity. When you have a clear problem, it is quite amazing at producing working code that then can be modified. I've really enjoyed the edit in place feature as well. Yeah, I could go through and do all the work manually, but why waste the time? AI is a big time saver.
...same as with major roads, train lines, power lines, power plants (including but not limited to nuclear and wind), affordable (i.e. high density) housing etc. etc.
US experience is different, with big diesels and primarily freight. I'd rate them as similarly annoying to a divided highway, but I suppose it depends on the region and the specifics
(The navy blue trains with yellow 'noses' are high-speed commuter trains, the dark blue, gold and white ones are the high-speed trains to France, the plain white ones are normal-speed commuter trains to London.)
I think the continuously welded rails are the biggest improvement, as they remove most of the "clackety-clack". Instead you get the "hiss", but that's only noticeable from really close.
But almost everybody wants access to one. This is coming from someone who lived a a kilometer away from the main airport of Istanbul at the time[0], for a long time. I was really disappointed when it was closed as the benefit of access was 100x better than the noise cost.
Of course, everybody has different priorities and getting a huge noise source in your backyard after you decide to call a piece of land your home would be frustrating.
Eh. As someone who used to travel a lot living 50 miles from the airport was a bit of an inconvenience but certainly one I could live with. Just took a bit longer to get to the airport. I wouldn't have wanted to live next to it.
Yeah me too, I live an hour's drive from my nearest airport and that's more than close enough - mainly because that airport is London Heathrow, meaning I can catch a flight to basically anywhere in the world from it.
Living close to a small, poorly-connected airport would be far less convenient than living further away from a major airport.
Yep. You cannot just put them just anywhere, so if a location has been found and some people don’t like it, well, that happens. Like others said; everyone wants to fly but they don’t want the bad side. Fine but it happens.
The one that tries to upsell hard is so annoying, I can't be arsed to go find it right now, but the other two make it so easy, yet the one that tries to upsell, its like every other click takes you to a "input your credit card" screen.... Seriously annoying.
Just had to deal with this for the first time in the last two weeks when someone tried to open a fraudulent account in my name... Interestingly, this happens for the first time in my life 2 months after I had to write down all my personal information to get a 0% APR credit card from a jeweler store...
It should be a default frozen system, not a default open system.
Why does it seem bad? Less of something doesn't necessarily mean its bad.
Perhaps the brain is simply making use of extraneous matter for energy or its purging out unnecessary neurons. Maybe it decreases creativity, but increases arithmetic ability.
My entire point is we have no idea what the end results are, just because there's a reduction doesn't necessarily indicate a problem.
> Why does it seem bad? Less of something doesn't necessarily mean its bad.
Myelin is pretty damn important for the brain's function. Signals go much, MUCH slower without myelin, and there are a number of clinical disease and problems that can happen thereof. One of the main effects of B12 deficiency is loss of the myelin sheath around the optic nerve causing blindness, and the psychiatric effects of losing myelin in the brain -- in addition there are a lot of disorders where a primary effect is myelin degradation / loss. It's been very well studied.
B12 deficiency doesn't permanently destroy it either. It's just the body cannot produce myelin, and if that happens for a long enough period of time, the nervous system is exposed to damage that is permanent, even after the body can regenerate the myelin
Where do you see that they won the case? Can you provide a source because the wikipedia article directly contradicts what you are saying...?
I see they went to the Supreme Court who kicked it back to the Ninth who then re-affirmed their position that HiQ Labs was not in violation of the CFAA.
From [0] and [1], it seems it was a mixed ruling. I am actually not sure whether it's now legal to scrape, since the Court ruled against hiQ due to a breach of terms of service, but previously the Ninth Circuit Court affirmed its ruling against LinkedIn.
> The hiQ decisions give a green light, at least in some circumstances, to scraping publicly available websites without fear of liability under the CFAA.
So at a federal level, it seems relatively clear. The only uncertainty is on the state level.
Because people buy it without it being proven and proving anything related to cognitive ability is both difficult and expensive.
This makes doing studies on their effectiveness a neutral to losing scenario.
Either:
The nootropic works. Great, you probably spent a decent amount of money and... The results are still going to be hard to quantify and measure. It may not be good enough results to convince people who already weren't convinced. Might as well not do it and keep making money off people who buy it without scientific studies.
Or
The nootropic doesn't work. Shit. Bury the results and never publish or risk losing a money maker.
Indeed, it seems to me that a paper proving that nootropics are either harmful or helpful would be quite publishable, which is (unfortunately?) what modern science is all about.
