Acting politically for what matters is not giving up :) Though, as always, we can and really should do both.

I've been playing with Circuit Python (variant of Micro Python, etc.), and it seems quite great actually. For small projects it's far simpler to use than C/C++, although if you're using some peripheral that isn't ju

It might be of some interest to cultural historians in the future. But I think it makes more sense to take sample+curated data. But in any case if we can afford it, eh why not.

Yes and, part of it is advertising visually tormenting us. They throw uber catchy colorful banners of stuff we're often not interested in the slightest, doing everything to get our attention. Also, websites featuring advertisement are

It's well known it in fact isn't, otherwise learning would be impossible. Learning still isn't perfectly understood but one key characteristic is likely modulating synaptic strength (the weights mentioned). Also, yes, every c

On the other hand, moderation can stop troll farms posting negative things about homosexuality non-stop. And it can help stop things like doxxing and promoting criminal activity and downright evil stuff. I don't oppose privacy tools ex

So just be more in the real world? (I mean, IRL) Well, yes, but there are advantages to virtual worlds, as long as they're not designed to be simply addictive time sinks. And there are advantages to the real world. The inputs to a comp

I'll bite. First, each human is kind of a separate universe, another 80 billion neurons to converse with, each with our own histories and vastly different knowledge and experience. In a conversation, we learn a lot from each other, and

Just wanna point out that making stuff is different from having stuff. Making your shoe is much different from buying a Nike from the store (and I don't make shoes ;) ). The craft is an activity, kind of an art by itself. Many find it

Temperature increases will be much larger over land. The values are for global averages, and most heat capacity is in the ocean. Not only that but some places will warm far more than others. Yes, all the other stuff is bad too, including oc

Why not digistopia? (digi-topia to me really sounds like digital utopia, which I'm all for... erm, actually I think a real utopia needs to acknowledge the real world, so it can't be fully digital)

Is it him that is seeing an asymptotic expression of work as games, or you who are seeing an expression of his games as work? In other words, what's so bad about games looking like work, or work looking like a game, if they're dee
