The prize is indeed an unfortunate example. One of the reasons Perelman refused the prize is he felt Hamilton had done more than him in getting toward Poincare.

That said, I think your initial point requires some more nuance. Knowledge can only exist meaningfully if there is someone to understand it. As social creatures, people tend to celebrate those who contribute to society.

So, if someone like Sam Altman comes along and takes all the credit for a discovery, it does have an effect on the people who might have been socially motivated to work toward a discovery.

Ultimately this is selfish behavior. And selfishness is antithetical to civil society. And civil society is what has allowed knowledge to flow freely.

Yeah, really interesting how it formed, too. Glad you enjoyed!

Depends on style guide. Many say all uppercase initialisms use just an ‘s’ when plural.

According to Linus himself, he used to be an asshole. He literally took time off to address it.

Yes! Too much hate for Firefox for imperfections while the chromium-based browsers are so much worse.

Sure use Librewolf or waterfox if you want, but people have to stop poisoning the well that is Firefox. That just pushes people back to chrome and edge.

One of the very few true philanthropists in this era. And an amazing songwriter.

I didn’t know they had released a new album, thanks for posting. The last few Ulver albums have been incredible.

I find that how much I care about achievements parallels how well they are done. Some games I care almost nothing, especially when the achievements feel tacked on. Other games, the achievements represent thought-out developer-suggested goals or progression and feel right. If I trust the developer’s choices in creating achievements, I enjoy the achievements.

As such I don’t care about RetroAchievements at all. The achievements aren’t a part of the game. They end up either trivial or tedious. If I want a tedious challenge and can’t come up with one myself, I’ll see what people who love and have mastered the game tend to aim for.

This reminds me of this report from MPU, which seems very related to this endeavor and provides something of an example of how to structure social work at the very hyperlocal level.

Yup. This project is cutting off the nose to spite the face. So easily worked around by any scraper, but makes the website worse for actual users. Accessibility is usability.

Rainbow’s End by Vernor Vinge basically predicted this.

That’s not what the person you responded to said.

Throw her in prison

Same with Goat Simulator and Goat Simulator 3

But how will they make games if they have no studios.

Path of Exile 1 has the deepest crafting system in any rpg, no contest. It relies on player knowledge to make the best use of materials. Mitigating randomness with multiple strategies is part of that player knowledge.

But to get even decent at crafting in poe1 takes thousands of hours of gameplay.

You can watch 100 crafting tutorials, but the system is deep enough that there’s really no substitute for experience.

This is a moment where workers have a lot of leverage.

I will always advocate for a higher hood height requiring a higher class of license.

Yes but more forms of surveillance will pop up. We need to establish a new type of right against surveillance when in public.

Expectation of privacy is no longer sufficient when public surveillance is ubiquitous.

Like an expansion of what the EFF advocated for when Google began blurring faces on street view, for a broader set of surveillance.

Personally it struck me as a glib, somewhat humorous take on differing neurotypes in a long term relationship.
