No .sog support? I can't tell if .spz or .sog is likely to win out as a de facto standard - or whether both will co-exist but annoyingly I've gravitated towards .sog as it seemed technically superior and I'd be mildly inconve

Ah, but there was a (maybe unintentional) implication that the people who loved it were oblivious to "soul" or something like. (The core problem here is that aesthetic disagreements are often expressed in a way that makes them sou

Ha! I added a similar feature to Open Brush: https://docs.openbrush.app/user-guide/multimirror And learned a bit about group theory in the process... :-/ ( https://github.com/IxxyXR/unity-symm

I both love you and curse you for that mod. I still haven't got around to playing Outer Wilds despite knowing enough to know I should. Because I keep thinking "I can only play it once - I should play it in VR" and then neve

Ironically less so as they've added more to do but: > NMS is an amazing game with no soul. I found the game in the early days to be incredibly soulful - it was almost an interactive poem. Full of emptiness and loss. I loved it back

Same. I really want to play it but - I feel I need to skip the first hour to do so?

Different people find different things fun. I've never been grabbed by multiplayer FPS (I never git gud) - or souls-likes (same). I do sometimes get sucked into some Bethesda games but I need to get over the initial hump. I had a serio

I find incremental (clicker) games fascinating because they are like crack for certain brains (myself included if I let them). There's something interesting going on with certain kinds of activity - exponential progression and incessan

Where's the moat? You can only truly "capture market share" if there's lock-in and no competition.

The "run locally" thing is a red herring. The fact that anyone can be an inference providers and offer them as a service is what we need to focus on. If they are "good enough" then market forces will stop Anthropic/

I'm getting a Poe's Law feeling. I'm genuinely unsure about whether this post is a stone cold parody or not. I think I need to turn off the internet and go to bed. EDIT: Your username doesn't help, either.

It can also be "mostly true but exaggerated for polemic effect". Or your definition of political might be different to the speakers. Or it could be intended to highlight a way of perceiving the world and thus not be subject to tru

"Proofs" in this sense of the word are things that apply to mathematics and formal systems. Language is squishy. A minimal counterexample is potentially squishy enough to be meaningless.

> You might be too familiar with "activism" as a perjurative Do people generally regard it as a perjurative? I always assumed it ranged from neutral to positive. I do wonder how off my calibration is sometimes.

At the risk of posting without adding anything substantive, I find this an exceedingly convincing argument.

Is this another post title that was mangled into ambiguity because of trying to hit the arbitrary HN word count restriction?

Ironically (for my generation in the UK at least) "Asian" meant "South Asian" and for a long time we didn't have a useful shorthand for "all parts of Asia"

My entire digital existence for the last 20 years or so has been a parasitical relationship with VC funding. They keep throwing money at business models that involve building market share and I keep benefiting. It hasn't stopped workin

Is "Lindy" a typo or have I missed another linguistic innovation?

I get tired of saying this but "got misidentified by the police" is somewhere between an annoyance and a humourous anecdote in most developed countries that aren't the USA where it appears to be justifiably regarded as a near

It won't matter. People will assume it has a camera. The product category is most likely (and rather predictably) dead if it depends on people wearing them ubiquitously and in public.
