I'm documenting the development of my game on reddit. I post there every once in a while.

Nah, assuming that the question is really asking whether a chicken’s egg came first or a chicken, then it stands to reason that a chicken came first, from a dinosaur’s egg, and then a chicken’s egg.


I'm really curious to know what type of bank errors you are talking about. If they are true errors then they should not be biased either way. i.e. sometimes they would be biased on your favor. But if they are always biased in their favor then maybe they are not really errors?


Or flying a kite during a storm and joking about getting hit by lighting. That definitely would have won us the Darwin award that year.


I know how stink bugs smell and I know how cilantro smells. Never once did I think that they smelled like each other. Could it be a difference in stink bugs? Also, never has it ever tasted like soap to me.


There are several types of stink bugs, and they don't all smell the same. It's the brown marmorated stink bug that smells like cilantro.


To be specific, it has some of the exact same chemical compounds in it, trans-2-decenal and trans-2-octenal.


Where I live there are a lot of brown marmorated stink bugs. I also have never thought they smell like cilantro.


Some people are just built differently.


We all are, but only in meat-space. We continue to improve ourselves much faster than evolution ever could.

But what we are talking about here is the singularity in tech-space.


I don’t see such of a distinction between technology and us. We build, drive and continue our overflow this tech. It’s an extension of us inspired by how our own brains work.


>>What'd be amazing would be something that really works >>against the headaches and/or prevent vomiting.

If you start vomiting then you overdid it. Your body is trying to save you from poisoning. To prevent the headaches just drink lots of water.


>>that don't require more people.

More people does not necessarily mean more laborers. It also means more consumers. Without more consumers we humans would not be incentivized to mine so much. Without the need to mine so much engineers would not have invented more efficient ways to mine. So on and so forth...


>Without more consumers

Eh, this isn't exactly correct. While yes, owning so many pairs of socks is of limited utility to me, in general individual greed is hard to sate.

So yea while another pair of pants won't do me any good, I'll take another house, another trip, another ... whatever. But this starts to shift the resource load to other places. Such as national parks getting flooded out with people. With actual property for things to be built on to become scare. Removal of the natural world to stick in more human development.


Just like the Lenna image used in a lot of Computer Science papers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenna


She actually showed up to an IEEE conference once, I think, in the late '90s, or early aughts.


She did indeed. Someone finally tracked her down recently. She's kinda over all the fuss :p


Any anecdotes about the conference? Did it surprise people?


There is this: http://www.lenna.org
