The most efficient base is e, cosmologists describe the big bang as a rapid expansion of spacetime that doesn’t say anything about it being the beginning of time it’s just the furthest back that can be currently measured, and the egg came before the chicken.

Some people don’t grow up they just get bigger and older, but they continue to act like children

I’m going to have to rest my mind grapes

Just my usual sleeping dungarees that go with my denim sleeping cap

I’ve seen goose and duck blood soup but pancakes is new to me

No look, all net

It’s not often I get to meet a professional numskull, where did you get your training?

Threading macros, rainbow parens, and paredit style auto closing parens make lisps syntaxes pretty easy to read and manage. I think declarative style languages like ML and Haskell took me longer to get familiar with than lisp style syntax, but that’s probably just because I learned procedural languages first. And I think lisps tend to be more syntactically dense than say Python or C or other languages most people start with.

Exploration and discovery for humanitarian goals, different abundance of resources and lack of other resources usually gives opportunities for mining, production/refining/fabrication, and trade. And further, more metal resource rich regions like the asteroid belt will require developing the same tech needed to establish outposts, bases, and fueling stations far from earth.

Clothes thrift stores, old games or comics books etc local swap meet style where a bunch of people setup tables in a warehouse or tent on the weekend, furniture yard and estate sales

Chrono trigger, mass effect 2, link’s awakening, tekken 3, maniac mansion: day of the tentacle

Fear mongering is effective, it’s why they quote mine to misrepresent people to make them look scary or put a bunch of actors dressed as pigs on an ad and say something like ‘John Politician licks murderers butt holes, would you vote for a person who agrees with all your policy positions and values but doesn’t praise fascists‽’

The change that made LLMs more effective than older approaches was the transformer model, and extended to transducers/encoders+transformers for general, non language based models. But I doubt anyone is going to call current ‘AI’ tech transformer models, maybe if it’s shortened to TMs.

There was ai used as the concept for machines that can think and reason as well as humans. I think around when marketers got people to accept splitting ai and AGI for general Intel and ai was left with whatever was left I guess reduced the scope of the meaning that continued to today’s common use of ai for non thinking, non rational models and a bit of a vacuum for the original usage.

“Oh he means an image macro”

I think it was Kodak they stole from, dos they bought

Yeah that game was great a lot of people slept on, there’s another adventure game coming out soon “slime in the ice machine” that looks like it might be good too and I think Josh Sawyer is working on a fallout game hopefully they get the time to make it what they want.

It is a very old strategy for monopolies to buy up competition when there are no anti monopoly protections so they can kill the competition, it’s how Microsoft was founded.
