I was hoping this would be codex-cli with much less bloat. Alas.

DSP is awesome and makes you hate hydrogen with prejudice. Also interplanetary logistics are better than trains. Combat is kinda meh though. Also hate the spherical grid.

Upcycling is not that hard. The real problem imo is that legendary quality is such a late unlock, and lower than legendary feels kinda worthless for everything except maybe personal gear and power poles.

The throughput of the rail is nearly infinity, but you will still be bottlenecked by the speed of inserters and belts on loading and unloading. I think of trains in best case as a highway that temporarily merges many belts together across a

Just make sure you bring many artillery shells and Tesla turrets for extra zen.

You've found the "holy grail" of LLM writing differentiation! Your opinion is in the "Goldilocks zone" between vacuous and paternalistic!

Hey man thems fighting words. I like doing different builds but hate feeling rushed with a nonstop ticking clock on an otherwise chill building game.

It seems like the developer intent based on spores and spoil times and farm space constraints is to harvest small amounts as needed and build just in time products. But the tools to do that a suck, and the best solution is just massively ov

I love this game but am kinda disappointed with the patch after almost two years of hype. I was hoping for a total overhaul of the quality mechanics, not just a random nerf here and there. And there is still the big problem that by the time

Java has been right there all along like the awkward best friend in a romcom.

I have known a lot of people who think they are (the only) As and spend all their time bike shedding and generally dicking around with tooling and griping about patterns that they prevent everyone around them getting anything done.

I was a real university librarian for a decade. Most of the books they throw away are truly garbage. Yes some libraries take it too far with "weeding" too much, but it is necessary: 1) the space is needed for other purposes (even

Really? Bill the Pony is higher in my ranking of heroes than Bombadil. Bombadil is low low on the list along with other insufferable dicks who could have fixed the entire conflict in 5 seconds like Gandalf and the giant eagles.

The reason you don't see it is because it is a massive privacy violation, and also it was move for move done in the plot of the movie Social Network about young Zuck, not exactly a novel idea.

Everyone has mentioned this is ethically bankrupt, and I totally agree. Very little mention of the fact that this project is extremely ho hum from a technical perspective and in terms of creativity. This is maybe 2 steps up from a Hello Wor

The price tag and environmental impact of constant diaper delivery seems off the cuff like it would negate the original benefit of cloth diapers. Admittedly I have not done math on this one.

It's more about the accumulation of fecal matter over time. I don't feel convinced that a washer removes it all, hence staining. And I don't feel great about making my kid sit in another kid's shit.

I guess if you buy them used the math changes. Second hand diapers was a line in the sand for my wife. But these people talking about diaper washing services, at that point, surely what is the point? I guess the thought of diapers in a land

That math does not match my math with my kids. Does that factor in the price of water and electricity and detergent? And are you comparing to store brand diapers or the luxury name brand ones? The price difference is literally 5x for some s

by jswelker 6mo ago
I did the math meticulously when I had my first kid years ago, comparing store brand diapers vs cloth. Once you factor in the up front cost of the cloth diapers plus the cost of water and energy and detergent running the wash, the costs are

I also write plausible code. Not much of a moat.

As a fun thought experiment, when people complain about LLMs, I substitute the word "human" or "employee" into the sentence and see if it is equally true. "You can never really trust an LLM!" -> "You ca

This is like travel agents crying that websites like TripAdvisor destroyed tourism. Not exactly an impartial party, so it's hard to take them seriously even if the point makes sense. "I used to keep this gate, and now it's al

Good idea! I haven't and won't. Now read me the original text of Anselm's ontological argument and explain it in modern English without falling back to ancient philosophical gibberish like "substance" and "pote
