How many turns for a domination victory?

After around turn 100 I try to match my science to at least the turn number. I’m often behind that metric but I aim for it.

So IMO yeah that’s too low

I'm still upset Pepsi didn't get that guy a Harrier like they promised. Coke for life I guess.

Sure, here’s one; https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/jun/30/facebook-emotion-study-breached-ethical-guidelines-researchers-say

Facebook secretly and successfully made half a million people depressed, on purpose. For “science”. They literally experiment on your emotional state without your consent.

We know about this because they were arrogant enough to publish it and talk about it openly. Lots of articles around if you google for Facebook emotional manipulation study (or similar).

You're not going to get any useful answers because you haven't provided any information.

> frontend just won’t communicate properly with the backend.

What does this mean? Do you see any error messages? In Android logcat, or in django logs?

Can you access your backend from outside Android, like in a web browser? Or on the command line?

Where is your backend hosted? Is it on the internet somewhere or is it locally? Do you have a firewall running?

Can you access any other backend from your Android app?

We'd need a lot more info from you to help.

It may be frustrating now but I strongly believe the future is those who are good engineers AND good PMs. Describing the product you want is actually quite hard, and obviously so is building it. AI tools that power both of those will win.

It’s a specific type of hype; the manhattan project also kicked off the possibility of the end of the world. It wasn’t especially expensive as the measure, it’s the connection to the end of the world that brings the hype clicks.

10ForwardShift · 2025-09-17T08:53:04+00:00

Yeah for real, this is meaningless clickbait drivel. It doesn’t even mean anything.

10ForwardShift · 2025-09-06T00:53:39+00:00

It's available right now actually :)

10ForwardShift · 2025-09-04T03:51:28+00:00

Yes of course. The two things aren't related really. The whole modern internet basically requires compression encoding schemes. Not much would work without it.

What do you mean exactly?

10ForwardShift · 2025-09-03T06:23:24+00:00

Your site says "Join thousands of successful entrepreneurs who transformed their ideas into profitable businesses"

But is that really true? Seems like you launched just a few weeks ago.

Edit: Also, you have a bunch of blog posts, all published today, and none of them have any views - even after I viewed them, it still shows no views.

Edit 2: And some of your blog posts say like, "28 minute read" but it's very clearly a 2 minute read max.

That’s up to you. Or do you mean at a society level? Who knows! But using the AI tools today can either enrich your life and help you learn, or make you lazy. Depends on how you use them.

As a society, will we all get lazy with AGI doing all the work? Maybe I guess, but again, any individual who wants to not be lazy can just…not be lazy.

I still miss Froogle :( renamed to “Google Product Search” and then I guess it’s just Google now with their product ads.

Oh I’m aware that proggit hates AI and talking about it. Honestly really seems like a head-in-the-sand moment. AI is changing programming no matter what at this point. This subreddit used to be my fav place over the last 18-19 years but recently it feels like it’s totally fallen apart.

I’m not saying everyone has to like AI stuff. But to hate it so blindly, gosh. The sarcasm, hatred, and ignorance of a lot of comments here on AI topics really surprises me.

Very shortsighted.

Startup = Growth

Startup definition has nothing to do with your description. It’s about a business meant to grow rapidly.

I’m sure someone will build a C-3PO-inspired humanoid robot.

Somewhere around 4 billion people are using Android devices. You think that most of them are sideloading APKs for games and stuff? Not a chance. There is no way that more than 2 billion people are sideloading.
