Thank you very much!

It does seem to be pretty stable and fast today.

Also, where can I donate to support your efforts of keeping this whole thing going?

Wait, does your Costco really have the Al Pastor Salad? I miss that salad!

With the rising sea levels due to glacial melt the saltiness of the water is going down, so really this is just doing the fish a solid! /s

Top right, click your user name and select profile. In the profile screen, right next to your user name scroll left for “subscriptions”

Coop games are tricky because many allow “quarterbacking”, which, while really being a player problem, I blame on bad game design. (For example Pandemic could really be played solo with 4 stations)

So you need coop with asymmetrical information and nobody can have all the information.

Hanabi is a great classic example of a game where nobody can see their own cards, but there is a limit to the amount of info you can give out.

Just One is a newer example of a coop party game.

It sounds more like you want a cross posting feature. There is no reliable programmatic way to determine both threads are about the new show, and anything that’s not reliable and programmatic is just ripe for abuse.

A cross posting feature would be nice, but for something like “the new episode just dropped” without some serious coordination between the communities, you would still end up with a lot of threads.

Do you think Microsoft actually cares or this was just a good way to reduce their areas their PR team need support?

A “one day protest” is likely going to have little to no effect.

Would love to see the ones that could be easily retrofitted into housing go that way and the ones that can’t go to another purpose like farming.

Yup, that’s terrible. PSC’s still have a long way to go and we need to find encapsulation technologies to extend their life more, but where they shine is that they should be dirt cheap. If they cost 1/4 of silicon based cells, but only last 1/2 as long, that’s still a massive improvement.

Why spend R&D when you have something that works? Companies don’t care about anything that they aren’t legally forced to care about.

AI is only as good as the model it is trained on, so while there are absolute truths, like most scientific constants, there are also relative truths, like “the earth is round” (technically it’s irregularly shaped ellipsoid, not “round”), but the most dangerous “truth” is the Mandela effect, which would likely enter the AI’s training model due to human error.

So while an AI bot would be powerful, depending on the how tricky it is to create training data, it could end up being very wrong.
