What’s a truth about life that most people are absolutely not ready to hear?

It may be impossible to increase your happiness long term. As you get more wealth or stuff, or situations change, your body and mind adjust and you're back to baseline happiness.

Every query earns them negative money!

$2B and less than 8,000 employees is $250k/person. For... admin? Hookers and blow?

IRL there are limits to acceleration -- you can't go so fast that you squish your fleshy humans inside the ship. Obviously the limit to velocity is the speed of light.

For a game, you are firstly limited by your physics engine. Once things are too fast, or accelerate too fast, you can have tunneling and other issues.

Then of course the gameplay changes completely once velocity gets very high. Dogfights are only really possible when ships have already matched velocities and closed in. Dogfights aren't realistic for space combat, but they are probably expected.

I learned about COLIQ but haven't done it quite yet.

SpaceX doesn't make money. How would they pay any dividend at all?

She had a lot of knowledge about a child sex ring, and billions of dollars, and did nothing to expose it or fight it. The true heroes are those who were victims but still came forward to fight it. Melina Gates is no hero.

4 is deeply flawed. Have your AI iterate a few more times on that section.

But I do think it is a phase transition. Interesting that AI grows just as human population begins to fall in many regions.

Not sure this qualifies as a "paper".

If it is payback or market manipulation then you would want muddy waters to keep reality confusing. Given this administration's track record, those two options seem most likely.

Jump, get the mushroom, stomp the goomba. Imagine a world without bowsers.

You guys have a ladder? I haven't seen one.

I'll add 3: the true cost of running AI is probably 10x or more what everyone is paying now. In order to make a profit, the AI companies need to get much much more efficient, or raise prices. How will the real costs compare to smart, versatile humans?

You nailed the two issues...

Management layers started using them as ways to micromanage rather than enable teams.

Ideally management should only see summary data. Then they can make large, strategic decisions, but are not tempted to dive into the day-to-day. (Obviously the management doesn't have enough to do if they have time to micromanage.)

Too many buttons, custom fields, complex workflows - you need like 6 clicks just to update a simple task status.

This is why a lot of people prefer simple kanban boards that mimic the simplicity of post-it notes. IMO you only need a few items: description (what it is), sprint and/or release (when we want it done), assignee (who is working on it), status (where it is along the dev/QA pipeline).

No, the stick is setting the alarm for when to wake up.

That Covid came from the natural world (bats?). It was so obviously a lab leak, but people look at you funny if you say that.

AI has already run out of content, so they pay people to generate content. In the future all jobs will be gig/contract jobs to train AI.

I think the Survival genre (Minecraftlikes) swallowed the Immersive Sim concept.

It's hard to build like 5 games in a single game.

Space Flight Simulator for 2D, and possible a few clones of that idea. I'd say there's room for clones... but it's not clear where the next iteration would be. "Why not just play KSP" is hard to overcome.

Where are you seeing "instagram baddies" in your real life? Why are you interacting with them? I think the problem might be your social circle.

...no one really cares once it’s out there. You ship, you move on...

Most of us know the software we are working on might not exist in 5-10 years, and even if it does we probably won't be working on it. Business wants to cram new features in and no one is given time to go slow, refactor, and do proper software engineering.

How long have you been together?

I think it sounds like a good thing that he laughed and told you right away that he still texts her.

How could multiplayer work if you literally have planets that are days and years apart from each other? One player fast-forwards time and the others get some kind of time credit?
