What was the first game where, upon death, (part of) the player's inventory is dropped on the ground, but the player can respawn and pick it up? I know UT99 was like that wrt. current weapon. Did Quake also have that feature? Did MUDs do that?

https://80000hours.org/podcast/episodes/christopher-brown-slavery-abolition/ Haven't listened yet, just read some quotes, but this is very interesting. Their depiction of the Quakers as being opposed to slavery as a form of group self-definition reminds me of the "woke left". It's kind of like […]

Idea for scripting language feature: special argument parsing block specified by a declarative language different from the main one that specifies the logic. #programming #ProgrammingLanguages

I hate fear.

Why should one feel ashamed at being a "midwit"?

@light Yes if the proposal was to track convicted war criminals or even people who had been charged but on bail that would be one thing.

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/mhY2buIFni0 I can't believe that people on YouTube are so effing dumb as to believe that people actually believe or used to believe this trope. I guess they just really want to believe everyone is problematic but them? Idk.

You can’t oppose mass surveillance approaches for some people, then advocate it for another group. Polanski is undermining the long standing and principled Green Party stance of opposing surveillance here - […]

This is perhaps the niche perspective of a guy deeply in the special needs kid community, but while I enjoyed this essay I worry a lot of attempts to define the possibility of consciousness out of machines would also define out a lot of beautiful children I know. www.theatlantic.com/philosophy/2...

People think Jews sit around plotting world domination but about 90% of mind-space is occupied with this sort of issue: www.reddit.com/r/JewishCook...

N of 1, and it's my kid, but I came to feel that grind is just wildly underappreciated. Not just that it cultivates skills, but contra reputation, it also cultivates creativity, because you start *wanting* to find shortcuts and techniques.

It's ironic the amount of authoritarians there are on "no authority dot social"

[aipol, spacex, doomerism] I just realized: The only reason to have datacenters in orbit is to prevent an angry mob from destroying them. Ofc AI is only useful at replacing employees if you can use it in the place where you need the employees. But SpaceX also has Starlink, so it can deliver […]

What's stopping directory authorities from being malicious and only accepting relays that they control? What's stopping them from all colluding to do that, since they are (in Tor) hand chosen by the team and hard-coded into the binary? Okay, yes, Tor users have to trust the Tor project anyway as […]
