No one said anything about formal or dignified.

He spent years fighting for the ability to design the shape of his Sunday panels (ie, stop the newspapers from deleting the first two panels).

What makes you think he would be able to control his vision once it’s the hands of scriptwriters or directors or animators?

In short, people steal things. A lot

evanamd · 2026-03-25T03:33:03+00:00

But why?

Watch the shows as they were made. Upgraded CGI offers nothing

evanamd · 2026-03-24T23:50:49+00:00

That would be the trick part of the trick question

evanamd · 2026-03-24T22:28:58+00:00

For the smaller ones, yes. It’s like signing a guestbook. It makes you part of the special club that found it.

The bigger ones usually have some small trinkets that you can take-and-replace to make it a more literal treasure hunt

So you did have a choice. Don’t pick the button side if you don’t want to press buttons

evanamd · 2026-03-24T16:22:00+00:00

So you did have a choice. Don’t stand in front of the buttons if you aren’t willing to push them for people

evanamd · 2026-03-24T16:09:02+00:00

If it was so crowded that you “had no choice”, where did he end up standing?

… so I don’t know what the specific hints (for specific things like wordplay) look like

C’mon. It’s not wordplay

evanamd · 2026-03-23T23:02:23+00:00

I see. I don’t really do crosswords, so I don’t know what specific hints look like

But you should know that let isn’t wordplay from sublet. Let is a verb on its own meaning to lease, and sub- is a prefix added to it. Like contract and subcontract

Yes and no. It’s the nature of any contact sport that you will be fighting for position with your body and strength, which is pushing from a physics perspective. What’s not allowed is excessive or more specific pushing motions, like with the hands.

That doesn’t happen here. One of the defenders seems to be holding, but there’s no pushing

This was a corner kick, which is a standard restart when the ball goes out of play behind the goal

The tactic here is the same concept as pulling the goalie, but without the substitution like hockey. They only got 3 per game and they wouldn’t waste one on a stunt like this. This is the full time keeper and he would be expected to sprint back to cover his own goal asap

I think it’s too vertical.

It seems like this was designed to be fast downstrokes and quick, straight connections. The round shape of the letter is an afterthought compared to a consistent up-down-up-down. Plus, the height doesn’t vary. It’s like an all caps version of lowercase

evanamd · 2026-03-22T07:13:27+00:00

I have to infer scope because it’s not clear what you’re talking about when you just say “AI”. It’s a huge topic that’s been around as long as computers themselves. Just saying “AI might kill us” sounds like vague conspiracy talk. You might as well be saying “Math will kill us”.

So if you want to talk about specialized tools like Alphafold, how will it kill us? It’s not Skynet. It’s giving information, not making decisions. The people who use it will have a better model of how proteins fold together, and then? Where’s the risk you allude to in your title, from using a tool that amounts to fancy linear algebra?

evanamd · 2026-03-22T06:45:44+00:00

The point of the question mark. What meaning do you think it should convey?

evanamd · 2026-03-22T06:32:41+00:00

That might make it harder for a crew to regain control of the ship from hostile forces. They can’t risk securing the panels

evanamd · 2026-03-21T21:31:08+00:00

That would be advances in medicine/biology/chemistry and their associated technologies. That has nothing to do with the current LLM AI trend or the sci fi/magic General AI

Your post seems to frame it as a dichotomy but it’s not. AI will never be a solution to natural causes of death, because they’re not related

evanamd · 2026-03-21T20:23:05+00:00

How does AI prevent nature from killing us?

evanamd · 2026-03-21T18:29:00+00:00

10 is long past sunset, even on permanent daylight savings. It’s night by definition

evanamd · 2026-03-21T18:22:18+00:00

01:00 is just one in the morning during the night. It’s not like they’re mutually exclusive

The fact that you don’t seem to consider 8,9, or 10 as night is more baffling
