Hi ricky. No questions here, just a fan of yours.

At least from the limited sample size of results, the rules text seems like garbled than other models in the mtg card generating space. Curious if you're able to first generate a few mechanics, and then have it design an entire set (either bottom-up or top-down). I'm sure balancing is not something Gen AI can do properly... but I imagine this can really change how set designers approach new worlds or mechanics!

Don't forget about the visitor counter perl scripts!

Some stars survive supernovae, and are known as zombie stars [1]. One believed example is SN2012Z [2]

More infectious: easier to spread & catch Less virulent: less harmful when caught

Magic: the Gathering.

Started playing very casually before stepping into a more competitive scene. It's both strategic (intersection between poker and chess) as well as creatively expressive (deckbuilding/theorycrafting).

Downsides: $$$

I think this would be one way to describe upside down, but my feeling is I wasn't the only one picturing someone fully inverted with feet above head.

A part of me wishes the "Bonus: RESTful UI" section at the bottom opened a "Coming soon" modal

Title isn't completely accurate, as the author states they were kneeling bent-over, creating an incline for the food to travel up. That being said, I've never thought of the esophagus was a muscle that could be trained. Very cool!

Edit: there's a 6" riser that the author describes kneeling on, while their head is then lowered closer to the floor, supported by their arm(s).

Hey now, they're just trying to make enough money to pay their ever-increasing rent! /s

This is an underrated analogy. I'm stealing this.

Trusting us Americans to know history? Not a chance.

As a FSD purchaser, I can tell you that watching videos do not give you the full experience of sitting in the driver's seat while FSD is on. The amount of times I need to regularly overtake control in both urban and rural environments on simple turns is enough to make me not recommend the FSD option to prospective Tesla buyers. At this point, the way it's marketed, I would lean more towards scam than even gimmick.

Kind of perfect for a travel mahjong set where you don't have a table to shuffle a bunch of tiles on!

The author does take a wild ride into the world where, via Hawking radiation, the interior is NOT causally separate, yet quantum-ly entangled.

Ah I understand your argument now and can agree we are on the same page. Can't say I know of any empirical/observed evidence either. I don't believe AdS/CFT can be used to make predictions of precise accuracy beyond serving as a toy model to reshape other physical observation.

To get off the tangent, I've backed up the comment chain and am thinking about your original comments on the harmfulness of articles like this. At first I shared OP's sentiment that it is generally harmless, but the more I think about it, the more I take your stance. Curious what your thoughts are on exposing more people to theoretical physics sans popsci buzzword articles?

For anyone else who's following this thread, I would recommend checking out "The Trouble with Physics" https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/108939.The_Trouble_with_...

fall into a black hole and find out :)

I'd argue that in the case of AdS/CFT correspondence, they've been mathematically proven to be _possible_. Doesn't mean that it is true. We also don't have all of the answers to AdS/CFT questions to prove a holographic universe theory with utmost certainty. I would, however, agree that evidence could have been presented in the article, but I'm guessing the target audience for this piece may have never clicked into an array of academic papers.

The classical wormhole as an extreme fold in spacetime is mathematically _possible_, but given what we've observed in the universe, extremely unlikely to naturally occur.

The speculative claims discussed in this article have no evidence to support them.

Can you highlight which claims that you find to be speculative without evidence? There's a mix of existing theories that are being actively studied in theoretical physics (holographic cosmology), and some claims that the author seems to call out in rhetorical question. I get that either will whoosh over the lay person.

Very nice tour for a language I've never seen before, good job. Would be nice to see a quick "Why would I want to use CLIPS?" section as part of the intro for others new to the language and expert systems.

Not the OP of the comment, but seemingly a common point of view that the most noble (and in some cases only valid?) pursuit of the human species is science/technology. I do find it interesting of the comparison between "mediocre sports athlete" and "best scientist" from the lens of aid to humanity. One could make an equally valid argument that a mediocre sports athlete brings more immediate utility to people in terms of entertainment, inspired hope, economic spend. In short, value is relative. Being a mediocre professional athlete is still a tremendous achievement. If your goal is to be remembered, you must appeal to the masses. Doesn't mean our species is stupid, it just means we are social.

I believe the much more aggressive rate hikes by the FED, multiple already, validate this point. It's not done nothing to reduce inflation.

It's way too early to make this claim. Fiscal policy such as setting interest rates has been studied and projected to take anywhere from 9 months to 24 months to see an effect on inflation metrics such as CPI. We won't know if what the Fed has done will have its desired effect until much later. We can only do what has been observed to have worked in the past and hope other secondary inflation drivers (i.e. supply shortages, commodities crisis) continue to die down.

Curious if you did any market research into selling these plans to a company/organization rather than individuals?

If it were really true that about 1 in 5 adult Covid survivors had Long Haul Covid, shouldn't I know someone with it? And, failing that, shouldn't I at least know someone who knows someone?

Just because someone doesn't outright tell you about a very general umbrella of post-acute symptoms doesn't mean it's not happening. Someone with persisting mild diarrhea may not want to bring that up socially.

...and nobody believes that Covid kills even close to 1 in 5 adults who get it.

Where exactly did you see this claim being made? The study is not suggesting Long COVID is killing people at scale, just that 1 in 5 adults are experiencing lingering symptoms that you wouldn't expect recovering from a common cold or flu.

Neat visualization. As a heads up, the link in your header points to /books rather than /bookshelf. Wonder if you use a book tracking site like Goodreads or Oku? Taking a real-life analogy: It would be interesting to me to be able to click on a book and read your review of said book as if I'm browsing your actual bookshelf and you're telling me your thoughts on said books.

My best guess is that the password-sharing crackdown is a response to slowed subscriber growth in an attempt to keep that growth at some astronomically high target. "Got rid of the best parts of their catalog" is definitely a subjective take. I'm going to assume you're referring to much of their licensed content which is a hard-to-scale problem unless you continue to throw money at it. One of Netflix's problems is that the profits it takes today doesn't get realized into "good content" until a much later date when production is wrapped and released.

Not sure how that incentivizes them to produce higher quality content? The existing loop today is still for users to resume their billed subscription when something of interest is released.
