The other factor that might be in play is that the people who made great games got lucky and didn't really know exactly what made their games so good and aren't able to recapture the magic.

This is a really interesting idea. I'd never put this together myself, but its really compelling. It really shows the value of the phrase "history doesn't repeat, but it does rhyme".

The bad news is that we lose Windsor in this trade. The good news is that we pick up Seattle and Minneapolis.

I'm from Ontario and its very simplified in my experience as well. Maybe the problem is the sample audio clips they have are all 'posh', its not how most people speak. Two large examples I can think of that even have their ow

People are already correcting you, but I find it hard to read this much into the case of this particular text. We'd need to know the full context to what exactly happened, but they might have chosen to sacrifice the catalog for many re

My Volkswagen has assistance features which routinely fail on snowy days and can’t seem to be disabled. The best you can do is disable them for a minute (!) at which point they start blaring again. Its ironic because the time you need the m

I don't live in London, but was there a few weeks ago and walked right by one of the buildings featured and didn't notice. Goes to show that you should always be looking up.

Bookstores like to make things easy for themselves by defining categories (a la Seeing Like A State), especially due to the perceived overlap between the readership of the two categories as the weird books the nerdy guys read. While that ma

I hate the removal of the shift. I thought it was such an interesting innovation to the game, and the fact that baseball allowed for such things part of its magic.

I'm working on Zettelgarden: https://zettelgarden.com . It's a personal knowledge system. It's a zettelkasten with an LLM substrate. It uses LLMs to build a model of the theses, arguments and facts used in cards, a

This is a pretty common behaviour. My dad has been buying both his dream Amigas and his dream car, a Triumph TR6. I bought my dream childhood console, a Gameboy Advance SP (I only had a regular Gameboy Advance).

Agreed, this is a big problem. I tried a paper zettelkasten to get around the taking notes and losing them problem, but my collection grew too big to maintain on paper. Because of that, I've been building Zettelgarden ( https:/&#x

I bought a Remarkable and ended up returning it. It was a cool device, but you're exactly right, I had a hard time justifying the cost over a $10 notebook.

I see what you’re saying, this works a little differently in that its asking the LLM what it thinks the writing is trying to say and what the writing uses to support it. Agreed that hallucinations are an issue though.

These are great examples, I have some more ancedotal evidence in Canada, such as the creeping north of the wine industry. Used to be just Point Pelee, then Niagara, and now even the Ottawa Valley has wineries.

In case anyone is interested, baseball has a similar variety in stadiums. Fenway Park comes to mind as a field with particular unique circumstances, like the Green Monster ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Monster ).

This is excellent stuff, I am going to be spending a lot of time on this. My absolute favourite Canadianism is how, on wikipedia, the 401 (major highway that goes through Toronto) is "colloquially referred to as the four-oh-one" (
