I have never been a wikipedia contributor (let alone a mod), but their points seem fair. Maybe not fair for the particular case, but fair for the general case. People who ridicule wikipedia policies should at least acknowledge that the mode

A fun excercise but lots of corner cases not covered. For example the words ακριβός (expensive) and ακριβώς (exactly) would have exactly the same spelling

I don't like a$$holes but they do exist and they are part of our species, ergo intelligent. My opinion of them doesn't change the fact

You don't have to be empathetic and nice, just good at navigating society.

How well you interact with other members of a society increases your chances of procreation, survival, knowledge acquisition, ie. it makes sense as a measure of intelligence

Social cognition: processing and interpreting social information and responding appropriately in social situations Is social cognition really a measure of intelligence for non-social entities?

A truly unique game that after decades it still evokes feelings only a piece of art can. Thank you Eric Chahi

It seems it's more complex than that. Greece and Portugal are also getting the Polish treatment (Tier2), so are Iceland, Switzerland and Israel

On a tangent, what is astonishing to me as an outsider is the cultural stagnation. Even in times of economic decline Britain was a cultural powerhouse. Modern music, theater, cinema, tv, literature, sports, etc. were permanently shaped by p

I'm not talking about kids, I'm talking about adolescents (as is the quoted paragraph). I strongly believe that an adolescent's well being is tightly coupled with social interactions. If a restriction is not protecting them f

An excellent point. Abstention = social isolation, which for young people is far worse than exposure. Restricting your children's access is not an option (lets' be real, they'll find a way to circumvent your efforts anyway) a

One can make parallels to other eras, sure, but the current convergence to an "average" is unprecedented in scale and speed. Various eras had a distinctive style that everything revolved around, but at least there was variety (cul

This next era may take 100s of years though, AI taking up physical labor is still science fiction (and I'm not fully sold on the utopia angle). She'll need to support herself much sooner than that, let's be realistic

Text is a very good indication the photo is non-AI. Lots of AI generated images struggle with it, I don't know why.

Back in the day I was really fond of Legend Entertainment [1] and Magnetic Scrolls [2] games that offered a mix of text adventures + graphics. Are there any modern games that follow a similar format? [1] https://en.wikipedia.org&

I think you're nitpicking a bit but let's go along with your definition and rephrase the question: why are there so many "defender own-goals from the goal-line" in this tournament? It's still an interesting question

I can't blame the authors for the choice permissive licenses. Maybe they were idealistic and starry-eyed, maybe they never thought their project would catch up, maybe they were naive victims of propaganda or maybe they had ulterior mot

This a very interesting take on the subject and I share the sentiment of your last paragraph, it's a pity if it comes to that. FPGAs are such a useful tool for a variety of engineering (and product) problems that fall in-between gener

It's itching me the wrong way as well. I prefer academic publications "dry" and austere, keeping distractions at a minimum. Stylish, cutesy graphs are better suited for other forms of dissemination

The major difference between what they're saying and existing fields (history, sociology, STS, economics, urbanism) is that the authors are only talking about looking at successes, not failures. That is juvenile at best, catastrophic
