    The only reason cars are good right now is because countries like US and AU went 100% all in on cars. Do you have any idea the astronomical cost of public roads and car infrastructure? Imagine if we invested the same amount into a really really good train and tram system. Or, alternatively, imagine if we underfunded roads the same way we do public transport.


  • For coding tasks I treat A.I. as a fresh intern that doesn’t really know what they’re doing but you can just ask them to do that horribly tedious task and just do a code review later. As you said, something like “rewrite this in Rust”, or “create unit tests for this function”. Then you fix all it’s mistakes. I’d never let it touch an actual algorithm or anything important though.


  • You go back to where your consciousness comes from. Everyone has their own idea of what that means, but I don’t think anyone is 100% correct.

    Actually, personality I believe that everyone is correct. You can go chill in heaven for a while, do whatever you want, maybe come back to Earth again after a breather.

    You know that feeling when you’re playing a really intense game or watching a movie, and then it ends? And you just sit there like, damn. That was epic. Then you talk about it with your friends and family, maybe eat lunch, just hang out for a while before deciding what to do next? The comfortable zone after an exciting event but before boredom sets in. Maybe that movie was peak for you and you’re done forever, maybe not.

    I used to have 50ms reaction time 15+ years ago as a teenager. Now I have 300ms reaction time according to the previously linked test. I’m not sure if it’s age or laziness though. I really really wanted to beat Zombie Goku back then and actually trained hard for it

    Man one time a fly got in somehow despite the flyscreen. Every night it would bzzzzZZZZZZ right in my ear and scare the shit out of me at 2am. It’s not like you can sleep with your head under the blanket or you’ll suffocate.

    In the morning I’d search and try to kill it but couldn’t find it. The fucker tormented me for weeks, didn’t eat or drink, only surviving on annoying me. Eventually it died of old age somewhere I’m sure. I still have a grudge against that little shit.




  • I give almost every game a positive review. My logic is, I can recommend almost every game to “someone”, even if I didn’t enjoy it personally. I make sure to highlight both the good parts, and the reasons I personally disliked it in my review.

    over explaining

    A recent example was Against the Storm and Anno 1800. Normally I love city builder games like Farthest Frontier, but those two games I just didn’t like them for various reasons. But they’re still a good game, clearly effort put in. On Steam I gave them a thumbs up recommended review. Out of 10 I would give them 6–7 (heh). To me 1–4 is the scale of badness, how bad is this. 5 is meh. 6–10 is the scale of goodness, how good the game is. So anything I would give even a 5 needs to be a thumbs up if reduced to a binary choice.

    I’ve been told I’m weird though. Like I’ll give something a 6/10 and people will say to me oh I didn’t realise you hate it so much. Like what? When did 6/10 mean bad? I call it review inflation. Where for most people 1–8 is the scale of bad, 9 is mid, and 10/10 is good. Most people have no room left for true excellence anymore.

    For me a 10 is a peak craftsmanship like The Return of the Obra Dinn, And Roger, Animal Well, Elden Ring. It has to make me “feel” something. Mystery, discovery, rage. Wonder. Something new, or something old done really well.
